What People Are Saying About Carousel Restaurant

Citysearch

Tucked inside Hye Plaza in the heart of Little Armenia is this modest gem where in-the-know chowhounds go for Middle Eastern comfort food. While the decor is a mere afterthought--pale pink walls, faded seat covers and '80s era black lacquer chairs--the food is anything but. Families, foodies and locals flock here knowing that inside the compact kitchen is an Armenian grandmother dutifully crafting old country dishes like yogurt-covered beef kebabs, dolmas (grape leaves) and the addictively spicy-sweet muhammara, the restaurant's secret weapon made from crushed walnuts, red peppers and pomegranate.

This place is fun to go. The food is very generous and good. The entertainment is fun. You can sit and enjoy your dinner and watch others dancing or when the Belly Dancers start performinng. The service is great. here is a flat charge- which includes a wonderful Armenian Style dinner - where everything is on the table with good portions or you can order from the menu. We really enjoyed the place and the price is great in comparison to other restaurants with entertainment.

Delicious, tasty food that is not expensive. Yes, the decor is not so great (not a place to impress a date), but the food is awesome. No corkage fee either :) Love, love it. We love to go with friends & order many of the appetiser dishes to share. Wish I was there right now....

While searching through BYOB restaurants, I spotted this place on Citysearch. Checked it out and wasn't too impressed by the strip mall location, but we've all been to gems in unexpected places before. Sure enough, the food here was great! Fresh pita, good chicken, great hummus. Definitely worth visiting if you live nearby. Haven't been to the one in Glendale (which I assume has better decor) but this is a good place to eat.

The Details on Carousel Restaurant

What to Order:

Don't eat meat? Don't worry. One standout is the vegetarian platter (enough for two), beautifully arranged with marinated olives, grape leaves, tabbouli, hummus, baba ganoush, bulgar wheat or pilaf, muhammara, salad and pita.

Know Before You Go:

This locale sells no liquor, so bring your own bottle of wine (no hard liquor or beer, please)--there's no corkage fee.

Parking:

The free onsite lot usually has available spots right in front of the restaurant.

The Extras:

While folks at this casual Hollywood outpost can show up dishabille, for a more formal (and pricier) experience, visit the spacious sister location in Glendale featuring belly dancers, live music and plenty of people watching every Friday and Saturday night.
