Today I’m reviewing Carousel Restaurant Chicken Breast Kebab, Mafroukeh Bel-Festuk, and Jajek. All 3 were extremely good and I have tried a lot of dishes here and normally all are good. This plates I got them from Carousel at Glendale and it came out to be around $40.00. So, yes this place can get kind of expensive, especially if your ordering for like 4 and more people.

My Review

Chicken Breast Kebab (Shish Tawook)

This is beyond super good, I don’t even have to say well done when ordering, they always make the BBQ just perfect. It is served with the:

  • Chicken
  • onion-parsley mix
  • pickled turnips
  • broiled tomatoes
  • seasoned pita
  • and 2 sides

for the 2 sides I choose Rice and Greek Salad. Be carful when ordering the Greek salad because I notice they don’t give the Greek salad dressing unless you ask them when picking up the food. So, upon picking up if you order to go, just make sure they include the dressing. The guy at the bartender was pretty cool, he helped me out and provided me the Dressing. Try this Greek Salad with the Greek Dressing this is beyond good, My favorite Greek Salad in Glendale.

If I could change 1 thing about this plate would be to add more onion-parsley mix. The mix is my favorite it gives a nice twist of flavor to the chicken and I absolutely love this onion-parsley mix. The chicken they give just the correct amount, not to much and not to little, it is perfect.  I would also prefer more pickled turnips, but that’s not a big deal.

Anyway, all aside, I absolutely love this Chicken plate and I’m not sure why they call it Shish Tawook, but it is Super Delicious.

Mafroukeh Bel-Festuk (Dessert)

This dessert way beyond good, it was the best, I absolutely love it. I have no idea on earth why they call it Mafroukeh Bel-Festuk, but whatever that means is yummy. It is a pistachio Knefe cake with Ashta cream and it has a little rose on the side. This rose I’m confused if its for decoration or if its eatable, but I went ahead and ate it. The rose is kind of crunchy and with the cake it is good, nice vibe of flavor. If you try this ask them if its eatable, I only ate it because I’ve been to restaurants where I remember I ate rose petals. Which was mixed with food and it is eatable, well anyway at the end its just a plant.

Jajek Yogurt 

This is yummy, but this is nothing special they have this in many places. However, what I like about Carousel is they make it appear nice with season decorations on the top.

Carousel Restaurant Filet Shish Kebab Plate

This Beef Filets kebab are pretty good, However this time I did notice it was undercooked. I think if this was cooked for another 5 minutes would be really great. Anyway, it still was delicious and this time I got Bulgur Pilaf & Armenian Salad for my 2 sides. Armenian salad is good, but I did really like he Greek salad better. Great plate overall, the size portion is perfect, but a bit pricey. This plate not counting the dessert was 18 dollars.

Ossmanlieh (Knefeh B’astha) Dessert

This dessert was the masterpiece of this Filet Shish Kebab Plate. An absolute great way to finish the meal, yes the name of the dessert is confusing. I mean what does Ossmanlieh mean? And what language is it? To me, once you pour the syrup over the dessert, its the only thing that matters. One yummy plate finisher and of course its expensive just 10 bucks. But, to me this is guaranteed a satisfier. Got to try this, It’s worth every penny, and it has the rose essence taste. 🙂
