What People Are Saying About Karoun Restaurant
The Editor

Citysearch
In Short – Armenian food is one of the great but underappreciated world cuisines, and this is one of the few places in the Boston area that does it justice. Karoun has served up kebabs for over 20 years, and other specialties include kibbeh (cracked wheat and ground meat) and patljan (eggplant, ground meat and tomato sauce). On Friday and Saturday nights, local belly dancers get the joint jumping.

top-shelf across the board

Fantastic restaurant. Brilliant ambiance and music, and simply outstanding food. What really stole the show was the belly dancing show at 9:30 PM...a beautiful young woman clad in authentic clothing put on a show for a half hour to a variety of Arabic music, it was mesmerizing. By the time we left we had enjoyed one of the better dining experiences of our lives.
- Pros: Delicious, authentic food, delightful help, live music and dancing

Horrible Service
by wrightnewton at Citysearch
I had a terrible experience at Karoun last weekend (July14). My husband and I went in to have drinks. We were told to sit at the bar. Bar tenders and waitress walked by us multiple times without saying anything. The restaurant was practically empty (on a saturday night: which should have told us something). Finally my husband got up to get the wine list. Even though a waitress was satnding right there she couldn't take the hint. after 15 minutes of being ignored we left the restaurant. The staff didn't say anything.
My message to the owner is: Please train your staff!
- Pros: none
- Cons: horrible service

Always a celebration
by johndunton1000 at Citysearch
Karoun on a Friday or Saturday night is a celebration! Families, parties, groups of friends gathering to enjoy one of the most festive dining spots around Boston. Very good food, good drinks, and the kind of personal service you find in a family owned/operated restaurant. We had our wedding rehearsal dinner there and everybody had a great time--from the flower girls (enthralled by the belly dancer) to the Father of the Bride (also enthralled by the belly dancer--always a tasteful show). The food is different and delicious, especially the lamb and chicken dishes. Go! Enjoy!
- Pros: The food, the party atmosphere
- Cons: Sometimes the music is a bit loud
