Carousel Restaurant Glendale

Carsoul Glendale has been the favorite restaurant to dine in for my family and our friends for long time. But my last experience which I love to share is exceptional. It was a delivery for 60 people to my son's wedding cermony.
I would like to start with Mr. Khalid the manager of the restaurant, who was very welcoming and able to fulfill all my requests and more. He was available in every step and shows great flexibilityand positive attitude.
The food was amazing . It was so fresh as if it was served at the restaurant. All the guests were so happy about the taste of the appetizers and main dishes.
Also the food was delivered exactly as requested. The price was very reasonable considering the quality and the quantity of food.
In conclusion I can't ask for more and certainly will repeat the experience in future occasions.

Carousel is an established middle eastern restaurant in the heart of downtown Glendale, though this was my first visit.  After a nice dry vodka martini,  we had an appetizer of falafel with tahini sauce, a bit dry but good.   We then tried multiple kabobs; filet of beef,  lamb and chicken.   They were all grilled masterfully leaving juice pieces of meat. The sides of bulgur and pilaf were great,  but the highlight of the sides was a particularly delicious Greek salad. And finally we have a dessert of rose flavored ice cream,  topped with cotton candy and pistachios; highly recommended.   Overall,  we had a wonderful dinner and very good service.  Thank you.

V nice place and good food. It is a bit pricey. We had the vegan platter and it was good with a lot of items included.

Vegetarian options: Good veg options.

Parking: Parking lot was full. Street parking not easy on weekends. We got lucky with a good street spot (paid).

The food is really good! Although it's a bit expensive but I would definitely go back for their good quality and how elegant the restaurant looks! I'm Lebanese myself and could definitely say that it's authentic to the middle eastern/Lebanese food!

It’s a MUST when I visit California! Best middle eastern food in the entire USA!

This Middle Eastern restaurant in Glendale impresses with its authentic flavors and warm atmosphere. The mezze platter is a must-try, with creamy hummus, crispy falafel, and vibrant tabbouleh. Tasty kebabs are tender and perfectly seasoned, and the fresh, homemade pita is a highlight. The service is attentive, and the portions are generous, making it a great spot for both casual meals and special occasions. Don’t miss the baklava for a sweet ending!

We had ver horrible service. The waiter was pushy for us to order and neglecting with service. We only had one cup of water the entire stay. He gave us the bill and we waited for 15 minutes before we decided to get up and hand him the bill. It is a good thing my spouse left a tip because he would have received a paltry amount from me. We will never dine inside carousel in Glendale ever again.
