Marouch is excellent. I have been eating middle eastern cuisine since I was a child, and have eaten at many great middle eastern restaurants. Marouch is one of the best I have eaten at. The food is classic, no exotic twists or fusion tastes; but every dish is executed flawlessly. The meats are spiced delicately and cooked to the perfect degree of moist doneness. The hummus is creamy and delicious. We have eaten there three times and every bite has been perfect. I particularly recommend the mix grill, with six different types of meat kebabs, the quail, which was crispy and delicious and the baklava which was not soggy. A truly fantastic restaurant.

We did the Hafle (prefix meal) for 2. It was $39each but we paid $4 extra to upgrade the cabbage salad to fattoush. Everything was a hit. Nothing was a miss. Wow. I loved the variety and really enjoyed the meal. Service was attentive without being overbearing. We’ve been wanting to come to Carousel for a long time but are not in LA often. I’m happy to report it lived up to our expectations.

Last night, we tried the new restaurant Rumi’s Kitchen and we’re so glad we did. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was welcoming and enjoyable—perfect for a great night out. The food was absolutely amazing. Every dish we tried was full of flavor and felt thoughtfully prepared, and we left genuinely excited about what we’ll order next time. Most of all, the service was excellent. Our server Cicely truly made the experience even better. She was so sweet and incredibly professional, and her attention to detail made everything feel effortless and special. We’ll definitely be back soon—highly recommended!

My husband and I had eaten there once before and really enjoyed it so we brought the kids and grandkids to celebrate a special birthday . Everything we ordered was delicious. The eggplant brûlée appetizer is amazing. The Moroccan cigars were delicious with wonderful flavor without being too spicy. We ate steaks and lamb chops and ordered multiple desserts for the table. Service was excellent. The surroundings are beautiful and when we were there (early on a Sunday evening) it wasn't noisy. We all want to go back.

    We had such a wonderful experience here. The ambiance is beautiful, warm, and welcoming. The food was outstanding…especially the Kabab Torsh, the Soltani, and their juicy chicken. Everything was full of flavor and beautifully presented. We also loved the Orange Blossom drink and Sekanjabin…so refreshing and unique. Even the chocolate cake was a highlight…rich and delicious. The service was friendly and attentive, and they even have free parking behind the building, which is such a nice touch. Highly recommend this place! Going from South Bay, definitely worth the drive ❤️
