Maybe they don't want to hire a dishwasher anymore? But it definitely cheapened the experience. Food tastes better on actual plates in my opinion so this was disappointing to see. I would rather pay more to eat on actual plates. The food still tastes the same (lentil soup in a styrofoam cup doesn't hit the same for me). The plastic soup is practically bending since the soup is so hot. I really cheapened the experience. I don't think I'll be back unless it's for take out.

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.

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.

Everything I've had here has been so good. Definitely one of those places I recommend without hesitation.

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 were vacationing in Glendale and craving some Mediterranean food, so we came across Sale & Olive…read moreand were excited to find out that they're dog-friendly! 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.

Food arrived well packaged with fries that were still crispy.

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!

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.

Food was plentiful - roasted Anaheim pepper and tomato, chicken and beef louleh and probably 2 cups of rice for $17.
