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.

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.

Their grilled chicken Caesar wrap is fantastic…read more Crunchy falafel bits and a spicy dressing make it stand out in a city with several very good chicken Caesar wrap choices. Here's how I think the ones I've had stack up.... 1. Mini Kabob. Non traditional dressing but the flavor is well balanced with fresh ingredients and tender chicken thigh meat on a very good tortilla. Slightly pricier than the others but worth it. 2. Ggiata. The best of the more traditional grilled chicken wraps with crunchy croutons inside and an outstanding tortilla. Their traditional Caesar dressing on the side is very good. The Venice location tastes better than the one in Highland Park. 3. Highly Likely (Highland Park). Very good wrap but without any croutons or crunchy elements. Solid tortilla but the dressing on the side isn't as flavorful as the top two. 4. Sweetgreen (Pasadena). Best of the chain restaurants. Good but can be a bit too salty. Their Chicken Cali Club wrap is actually better balanced flavor-wise. The wrap here is smaller but still good. All the above wraps were satisfying and filling with the one from Sweetgreen being the smallest.

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!

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's a bright, clean, neutral open space that is beautiful and lends itself well for large groups. It's had a recent renovation that added a full bar and beautiful light fixtures. I'm not much of a drinker so I skipped the bar this time and dove right into some appetizers. Hummus, chiblinkis, and dolma to start along with some bread. They serve healthy portions so I knew we ordered too much food but that's ok we live close and took some home before heading to the game. Next up we had the combo plate that had both beef and chicken and we also ordered the Cornish hen. Both entrees come with half a pot of rice it seemed, along with a tomato and an Anaheim chili that were also charred to perfection like the meat. The meats were lovely, perfectly seasonad and kissed by fire, making them juicy and tasty. This is a hearty meal that won't leave you hungry and defies expectations. It's a kebab but it's more, simple, yummy and grilled just right. We ordered one of their alternative rice dishes which had barberries (cherries) it's different but it works! Service was good not great but the meal more than made up for it being a bit sluggish. They have parking along the side of the building which isn't enough but I think you can probably park along the street too.

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.

If you're getting one of the more expensive steaks, I'd say the overall price point is pretty comparable to Hillstone restaurants.

love this place, its got a nice environment and parking for a quick lunch. well, not TOO quick, it takes at least 5 mins for your order to come out, but its worth the wait. i usually like the $1 hummus that they have but today i got the larger size and for some reason i didn't like it as much. also i love their ranch dressing but they forgot to give me one today for my to go order. my favorite is the chicken luleh but ive also tried the beef luleh and the pieces of chicken and they are alright as well. my mom's favorite is the beef luleh and best of all we really got NO HEARTBURN yayy awesome. the rice is well prepared also and the portions are pretty good for around 6 bucks. we'll def be back. read more

I love Mediterranean food and when in Glendale, ya gotta get some! There's so many options of Mediterranean food in Glendale and Massis is one of the best!!! Service wasn't as quick but it's okay, it takes some love and TLC to make all those great plates. I'm just as excited as the first time I tried it. It smells soooo good.

Some comparisons between here and the mall version: - Food here is marginally better. Rice here is fluffier for some reason. The kabobs are also slightly tastier. - Self serve fountain drinks, including the lemonade and tea. This is a real bonus. - Baklava! The only downside here is that parking is pretty bad. The location sits on the corner of the intersection of Colorado and Glendale, which is always busy. During prime hours, it's hard to drive into, unless you're driving east on Colorado or south on Glendale. Also, the lot is very small. Apparently, they have a drive through here. In my opinion, this is a horrible idea. This isn't fast food; it takes a bit. So what you'll get is a back up of cars crowding an already super tight parking lot. Anyway, still a good experience as a good time was had by all.
