Overall, Karoun receives praise for fresh, flavorful dishes and generous portions, with many noting the food is outstanding and the service warm and attentive. The staff is repeatedly described as friendly, professional, and welcoming, though a few reviews mention slower service during busy times and some rooms being a bit loud or bright. The menu shines with mezze, vegan options, and standout items like kibbeh nayyeh and perfectly cooked grilled meats, and most diners feel the quality and authenticity justify the price. The atmosphere is generally described as clean, modern, and comfortable, suitable for families or intimate meals, while a handful of comments point to lighting and noise as room specific drawbacks. Taken together, Karoun is seen as a reliable go to for authentic Middle Eastern Armenian Lebanese cuisine with memorable flavors and consistently good service that encourages return visits.
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.

Last Night we went to dine out with friends at Karoun. The food / mezze was below expectations. However amazing service from the gentleman Yunus & server.
I've eaten here many times & the food is consistently fantastic. Does it better than any other places that offer this type of food. The space is sleek & modern, & the outdoor seating is genuinely beautiful for sunny days. The only drawback is service: wait times can stretch, especially at peak hours, so plan ahead or come a bit early. Despite that, this is still my go-to spot because the dishes are worth the wait.
Tip: Weeknights or early lunch usually mean faster seating; ask for a patio table if the weather's nice.
We went to Karoun restaurant on a Friday & the service, food & atmosphere were excellent!! The food was served within 10 minutes (or less!!) & it was absolutely delicious & perfect. The place is also very clean & has a nice dining area that is also perfect for big gatherings. The waiter was super friendly & we even met the owners & they were very nice too! 10/10 i recommend Karoun for good food & lovely service! (ps their kibbeh nayyeh is truly the best in the laval/montreal area)
