Reviews of Karoun describe a warm, inviting dining spot where the food is consistently flavorful, fresh, and well prepared, with mezze, kebabs, filet mignon, kibbeh nayyeh, hummus, fattoush, and rice highlighted as standout items. The dishes are noted for generous portions, authentic Middle Eastern flavors, and careful presentation that feels refined yet comforting. Service is praised for being attentive, friendly, and accommodating, contributing to a welcoming ambiance that makes many diners want to return. The space is described as sleek and clean, with a cozy vibe that suits both quick lunches and family gatherings, and outdoor seating is appreciated when weather allows. While the overall sentiment is positive, a few reviews mention occasional slow service or long waits during peak hours and some variation in portion size relative to price, but these notes do not overshadow the strong reputation for quality and hospitality at Karoun.
The food was very good, but the service was terrible.
We had to ask several times for water & olive oil, even though the restaurant was empty, so there was no reason for the lack of attention. On top of that, we felt like we were bothering the waiter-he seemed annoyed & uninterested, almost like he didn't want to work.
Even though the food was excellent-& we are true foodies-we will not be coming back because of the poor service.
It was a gorgeous experience sitting outside & enjoying the warm breeze & over looking the palm tree (obviously artificial). Overall atmosphere was great. clean & renovated.service was perfect as they were quick & very pleasant. Food was fresh & delicious.
If you're ever in Montreal, you have to try this place! The food is incredibly authentic, rich flavors, fresh ingredients, & true Armenian hospitality. Cozy atmosphere & friendly service make it even better. A real hidden gem for anyone who appreciates genuine, home-style cooking.
I've been going there for years now & I can tell you that the service & the food is always impeccable. It is my go-to restaurant for Lebanese food. 100% recommended :) ps: generous portions
Sadly this restaurant is not what it used to be. The food used to be much better. The quality of the meat served (kebab & fillet mignon) is very lacking.
La bouffe est très bonne, riche & savoureuse. Nous étions servis par Garo qui nous a offert un service exceptionnel, rapide, attentif & personnalisé. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié sa patience ainsi que son sourir acceuillant qui a rendu notre expérience encore meilleure.
I LOVEEE THIS PLACE me & my friend discovered it last week & it is definitely our new spot the quality of the meat is amazing the service is excellent. I cannot recommend this place enough.
