Skewers of meats are among the many specialties here, and you can't go wrong with any of them. But it's difficult to beat the combination appetizer plate. The larger version is enough food for several meals, and includes crispy falafel,… Read Full Editorial
My Review by redst9r via Citysearch on 7/29/2015
Love coming here. We get take-out about 2-5 times a month. I've only eaten inside twice and it wasn't the BEST experience. They were quick with everything and just wanted to get us in and out. Didn't feel welcome.\r

Truly satisfying by TastyLA via Citysearch on 3/21/2010
Delicious Lebanese food (humos/shawarma/kababs) and generous portions means this Valley restaurant is busy most nights (expect a wait on weekends). Drawing fans is the food--certainly not the too bright lights or basic decor. Start with a…
This restaurant never dissapoints by Ginafellini via Citysearch on 2/18/2010
The babaganoosh(sp?) my favorite, and Kafta kabob, mmm, grape leaves, perfection and lemony!!!\r

The owner/chef will serve you because he cooks with his knowledge and heart!!! I am Italian, but Lebanese food, my favorite, Dont call it a…
Authentic by Kika Davis 2 via Citysearch on 1/24/2010
"Bruchim Haba'im" welcomes you into this valley gem and no other words are more appropriate. It's located in a small strip-mall off of Woodman and Moorpark (with a terrible parking lot - more luck on the streets during peak times).

BEST Lebanese food in town! by Ty's mama D via Insider Pages on 11/5/2009
I've been going there for 12 years and its the closest I've found to the home cooked food I was raised on! Its a casual upbeat atmosphere and family friendly. The Lentil soup is to die for. The Hummos, Taboule and Fatoush salad are spot…
A Middle Eastern Favorite by dhnoho via Menuism on 2/10/2009
I have not dined at Carnival in a long time, not because I don't like the food, I just haven't had time to...
Mediteranian by Tamar S via Insider Pages on 12/21/2008
They serve some wonderful mediteranian food here. The place is lively and the portions are large. Additionally the prices are descent and worth the food.
Middle Eastern by randy i via Insider Pages on 7/29/2008
This is my aunt and uncle's favorite restaurant. We eat there every time we visit at their house. Excellent take-out. I love all the salads and their falafel is to die for. I highly recommend this place for inexpensive, healthy Middle…
fantastic middle east by gerald w via Insider Pages on 7/29/2008
The food is wonderful.. The prices are very reasonable.You can eat in or take it out . Its always busy. The eggplant salad is just like Mom's.This is simply the tops in this style food.Parking is often a problem, but the food is worth…
Excellent food by Tixona via Citysearch on 6/11/2008
Okay, if you want great mediteranean food, this is the place to go. If you are in a rush, avoid this place like the plague. If you would like to cozy up to your server, head for the hills because it won't happen here! \r

Food is the…
Good place for take out...dine in if you're up for a challenge by themaxter via Citysearch on 11/7/2007
Great food; especially the foul, lebneh, and babagonush (the lamb was quite tasty as well) but the service was terrible! Having to track down waiters to get water at the table...and as the frizzy haired blond Lebanese waitress was…
For more than 20 years, locals have been packing this homey Lebanese restaurant in the West Valley. by Andrew Rosenblum via Citysearch on 8/28/2007
In Short
This Sherman Oaks institution has slowly expanded in its mini-mall location over the past two decades. Hungry customers pack the main dining room, which with its inexpensive wood-surfaced tables and almond-shaped…
HIdden little gem in Sherman Oaks by bigdaddy_57 via Citysearch on 2/6/2007
Most of the other reviewers of Carnival have been spot on. The place is always crowded, (even midweek), but the food is so good, and the portions are so gigantic that its worth the wait. The beef and chicken shiskabab are incredible -…
best lebanese food in the city by ninaemkin via Citysearch on 6/29/2006
Carnival is so wildly good I eat there almost every week; the chicken kabob, rice, green salad, yogurt salad, hummus, falafel.. It is all so good. The real draw for me, though, is the unbelievable tabouleh. It's the best I have ever had.…
Awesome food! Great value! by pegasus88 via Citysearch on 5/28/2006
People come from far away to have this outstanding Lebanese fare. Everything on the menu is fantastic! Huge portions make for great leftovers the next day. Usually crowded and busy, yet the service remains friendly and gracious. Highly…
two words -- Take Out by sue s. via Judy's Book on 5/8/2006
arnival has terrific Lebonese food, but it's best experienced in your own home. The service ranges from poor to appalling. But the food it really good, so do yourself and your patience a favor and order it to go, it's much better than…
YUM! by chuck1500 via Citysearch on 1/14/2006
This place is just what it is. A neighborhood restaurant that offers the best Middle Eastern food around. You can't go wrong, if you want a casual lunch/dinner. The Chicken Kabob is the best. The hummus and falafel is great as well. Be…
good mediterranean food, SLOW service by margie2265 via Citysearch on 11/16/2005
nice little neighborhood restaurant if you're in the mood for some hummus, tabouleh or babaganoush. the kebobs are really good, but the quails are even better. the arabic salad is really fresh and delicious. the arabic coffee and baklava…
Good food, horrific service! by twinklchic via Citysearch on 11/8/2005
We ate here for the first time last night, and we literally had to wait 20 minutes for our check after asking for it! The food was pretty good, nothing amazing but good. The french fries were great, and my falafel sandwich was good too,…
Great Mediterranean Food by Ed M via Insider Pages on 2/23/2005
Great place--the best hummous and baba ganoush I've ever had. Haven't had a bad dish there--I prefer the lamb, but go nuts. Prices are reasonable as well. Carnival has the distinct feel of a neighborhood meeting place. On my shortlist…
