About us

Since 1984, Carnival Restaurant has stayed in the hands of the same family, with recipes passed down rather than reinvented. As a Lebanese restaurant in Los Angeles, our place is rooted in Mediterranean cuisine, where fresh produce and traditional methods matter. Hummus keeps its familiar character, shawarma turns slowly, and kafta is seasoned by hand. It is straightforward cooking built on repetition, care, and respect for tradition.

Regulars stop in for a casual lunch, while families gather around the table for birthdays, engagements, and other occasions. The atmosphere stays warm and welcoming, with dine-in and takeout offering different ways to enjoy the same kitchen. In Sherman Oaks, it remains a family-run place where tradition still has a seat at the table.
