I brought two admins here for lunch on Admin's Day, and we enjoyed our chicken and beef kabobs. The chicken was better than the beef, the beef had a slight tart taste to it. I think Panini Café has a better chicken kabob. Loved the dessert, Oreo Fudge Delight!!

Great Food and a Great Atmosphere

Walking into Carousel is unlike any other business on Brand Blvd. You are actually transported to a whole new place. The service and decor are impeccable, however, you do pay for this added ambiance (it's definitely a big step up from Zankou).



The dishes are well executed and delicious. And surprisingly the french fries are amazing with any of their dishes (~$12-18).



I'd definitely go back again, and I'm looking forward to their appetizer plate. The fried meat ball and cheese rolls are simply delectable.

GREAT FOOD!!!

Carousel resturant is one of the best Persian-Armenian restaurants in the Glendale area. With it's great pattio arrangement as well as it's cozy private indoor area, Carousel is theplace to be with family and friends. With a great group of service and lively music, Carousel is the place to eat.

Excellent variety, vegetarian friendly

I recently started working nearby, and have been here several times for lunch. It's a favorite among my peers. They have plenty of space for larger lunch groups, and the ambiance is fantastic and really gives you the feel for the culture. The service is very friendly too.



They have an extensive lunch menu with plenty of meat dishes, but I'm vegetarian so I haven't tried any of them. However, it is popular among my meat-eating peers. For us vegetarians, there are no fewer than 7 lunch entrees without meat, including several Mediterranean dishes I haven't seen elsewhere, like their spicy walnut dip and their vegetarian fava bean stew.

Excellent.

Excellent.

Food, Service, everything was wonderful.

I went with a group of 4 adults and although a little pricy they presented us with more food then we could ever eat, and everything was perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. Warning – Friday and Saturday night there is a dress code and entertainment.

New food experience

I went here with some co-workers. The food that I tried tasted pretty good. The meats were excellent. The fried cheese was excellent. The only reservation that I have is that everything looked pretty foreign to me; I like my foreign food to be Americanized. If I were more adventurous, I would have given this place a higher rating.
