There’s a reason why this place is always busy! The food is incredible, service was welcoming and fun, and the ambiance was impeccable. Great for a date night, for friends and family or a solo date at the bar top.

The mezza without kabobs was quite filling and definitely delicious. A couple people in our party ordered entrees as well and the lamb kabob was cooked perfectly. Carousel is always a special treat!

My only critique is the noise level of the music was so loud it was hard to hear the person I was with across the table. But the service, the food, and the ambience were wonderful other than that.

The performers were outstanding singers and the belly dancer. The entertainment is family oriented and welcomes all ages. Jake was our server, he was friendly and educated us about food and customs. The dinner comes with several appetizers, salads, cold and hot. Plus the main dish, drinks and hot tea or coffee is included for a specific rate per person. The diner rate is reasonable and plenty of food. Come ready to have a feast with family and friends. Recommend to make dinner reservations on the weekend. Will definitely recommend and will back again.
