The kabobs here are very tasty and the portion sizes are large. When you arrive, you will need to…read morewait to be seated as reservations are only for parties of 10 or more. The place is quite large with a lot of tables but half of it is under a tarp and so if it is hot or rainy it's not as comfortable There is also a very tiny parking lot. Its valet but they can't fit all the cars and street parking in the area can be bit tricky. I would stick w the Kabob selection (I'm partial to the juicy flavorful bone in chicken) unless you enjoy your stews on the sour side. All that being said, their food is delicious and the staff is friendly, which is why I keep going back.

This is not the best Armenian restaurant in the world. It is also not the most glamorous, the most…read moretrendy, nor the most ambitious. But it is without question the most important Armenian restaurant in the world. Armenians are simultaneously a diaspora people, a people of the book, and an old country people. Therefore, odd as it may seem, it is entirely appropriate that the most important Armenian restaurant in the world should not be located in Armenia at all, but should serve a diaspora community in a way that makes them feel connected to home, both interns of cuisine and in terms of communal warmth. Technically, this is more of a Lebanese restaurant than an Armenian restaurant, but that hardly matters. It's a place of celebration, merriment, laughter, and tears. In short, it is THE gathering place for Armenians in Southern California. Because of its fame and importance, the thing that is consistently overlooked about this restaurant is just how excellent the food is. Bring a Lebanese expat here and you will invariably hear them say after the first bite of hummus that it doesn't compare to the hummus they used to enjoy in Beirut. By the middle of the bowl, they will say that it actually is not as bad as they first thought. By the end of the bowl they will declare that this hummus ranks among the greatest they have ever tasted. Carousel does not overwhelm you. It seduces you. And you'll be back.

We actually went to another local spot that was closed so we re-routed here because it was the best looking option within 5 minutes of where we were. It's a small, clean shop with a counter to order. It looks like they probably do a lot of take out. They have a nice outdoor patio area. The menu is large with standard shawarma items, but also the flat bread stuff too. We got a lamb shawarma wrap, a chicken shawarma sandwich and a beef bowl along with a couple of lahmajun and a fresh baguette and baklava. Everything was excellent! The lamb was incredible, very tender and flavorful in a nice lavaosh. The chicken had great seasoning and the fresh bread was so good. Both were very large, like almost too much for one person. The bowl had pickles and great flavors. The lahmajun with cheese was my favorite but both were very good. The workers were friendly and helpful. It was our first time so we were asking questions and they were happy to help. We asked for more sauce and a couple things and they were great.

My two choices were the Caesar wrap and the lule plate, and the food didn't stand a chance! The…read morewrap was devoured in under two minutes. The flavors hit the spot, and the extra dressing on the side took it to another level. The lule was perfectly seasoned and juicy, and the rice was on point--fluffy and moist. The hummus had the perfect texture as well. Honestly, I can't complain about the food. I was initially going to complain about the price, but after tasting the flavor and quality, I'd say it was worth every penny. Also, shout-out to Armen--very nice guy who brings some seriously positive energy. I'll definitely be back!

I was looking forward to trying Mini Kabob for so long, but due to my schedule and their hours, it…read moredidn't work out so easily. But at last! Yesterday we finally had time to come by and it was just okay. I love to see them thriving and see how supportive their client base is. Personally, I was underwhelmed. I have Armenian, Persian, Middle Eastern, and all similar foods ALL the time (and I am Armenian). The Luleh didn't look appealing, but it was actually good. I liked that it wasn't over-seasoned like most places. The chicken kabob was just okay. Nothing really stood out about it, except that it was a little undercooked in the middle, yet still charred on the outside. The flavor of the rice was alright, but the consistency was too watery/ mushy. I liked the humus - the flavors weren't overbearing. Overall, it was okay. The portion was good but the place in general is a little overpriced. Service was alright, the girl taking our order was nice but nothing stood out. PS - no trash cans. When you're done, you have to walk over to a large dumpster to throw your trash in.

We didn't want to leave our pup alone at the hotel, so this was a perfect option for us. There's a parking garage on the same street as the restaurant, and it was just a couple-minute walk to the restaurant. I made an 8:15 PM reservation, but when we arrived, there were still plenty of seats available. It was a pretty hot evening, so we asked our waiter for some cold water for our pup, which we really appreciated. For dinner, I ordered the shish kebab, while my wife got the beef koobideh plate. The filet mignon was very tender and cooked perfectly medium-rare--exactly how I like it! My wife really enjoyed her meal as well and had enough left over to take home. I finished my entire plate with ease! Overall, we had a great dinner and really appreciated being able to bring our pup along. A solid spot to consider if you're looking for Mediterranean food in Glendale and want a dog-friendly option.

I also love having them cater a yearly event I have in the area and they're always timely, fresh and generous. The staff, I believe, are mostly made up of their family members, and they're a very welcoming and warm-hearted team. I love the cheese rolls hot out of the oven. And all their appetizers and main dishes are great. The restaurant has a lot of energy usually, and friendly guests made up of locals. Sometimes the parking is tough if the lot and block is full, but I've never had an issue finding a spot somewhere and it's worth it. Highly recommended if you're especially in the mood for good and authentic Lebanese cuisine.

Food was great overall. My only suggestion would be the fried pelmeni, which were served dry. Coming from the culture, I would've expected them with sour cream or even tkemali on the side. They tasted good but dry on their own. Otherwise, service was great, the ambiance was nice, and everything was priced pretty well. If you're getting one of the more expensive steaks, I'd say the overall price point is pretty comparable to Hillstone restaurants. Definitely a nice spot if you're looking for a modern Armenian/Georgian and Mediterranean fusion experience.

The white meat chicken kabob is the meal to order. The garlic sauce here is the best I have ever hade. it's the perfect blend of pungent garlic and creamy. Th pita bread is good too. It's thicker and has some substance and I've noticed that most Mediterranean places have the thinner bread, which I don't like as much. The salad is always fresh. The owner is usually there or his daughter, and they are both really easy to deal with. they always want to make sure you have an enjoyable experience. this is def a lunch type of place pr a takeout place. I wouldn't take a date here. but I would def recommend on any Wednesday for lunch.
