Amazing food! They have generous portions, very friendly and attentive service. We ordered the babaganoush for appetizer and they gave us warm pitas as well. They serve olives and peppercinis as well. I ordered the kafta for dinner and it came with a huge side of rice. The stuffed grape leaves are really good as well. Can't wait to go back

Mmmm mmm mmm ... Carnival Restaurant is a great Mideastern restaurant in Sherman Oaks, Ca. Hubby loves him some shawarma, and he is always looking for restaurants. He came across Carnival, and we made our way to the valley. Carnival is located towards the back of the shopping center with a huge sign you cannot miss! We entered the restaurant and were seated right away. We ordered our drinks and started with humos. We were given a basket of warm pita bread and a plate of olives, peppers, and pickled turnips. The pita bread was warm and soft and was so good. The humos tasted very authentic and were very delicious. For my daughter to actually like it you know, it was good! For our main meals, we ordered a Beef kabob plate with rice and fries, beef and lamb shawarma with rice and Arabic salad, and a carnival combination plate which included a chicken and lamb kabob and kafta with rice and an Arabic salad. Our salads came out first, and even those were so good! They tasted fresh and were just perfect. Our meals were terrific! The shawarma and the kabobs were very tasty with great flavor. The service was stellar, for we never had to wait around for things and the servers were friendly. The restaurant itself was spacious and decent. The restroom was clean and tidy. Overall, my family and I enjoyed our visit and left very satisfied and full. I’m glad we made the drive and tried Carnival. It was definitely worth it!

Very good food. The grape leaves were delicious and I tried a dish called humus meat and that was out of this world. For the main course it was Tuesday and the special was a lamb shank stew that did not disappoint. Their rice is absolutely delicious. Highly recommend. The only drawback is parking.
