My girlfriend and I had a great night out at Karoun. The food was excellent and so was the service. No one rushed, they allowed us to eat at our on pace and even gave us a glass of wine on the house. Our waitress was especially good and friendly. If your looking for something a little different, you should definitely check this place out. Its good for couples, but also good for large groups. We our going to take our friends there sometime soon.

Pros: The food, the entertainment and the festive atmosphere.
Cons: We had to wait 20 minutes to get in.

I had a great time at the Karoun! My husband and I went with another couple because we heard that they had authentic Armenian/ Mediterranean food. We had an awesome dinner, but we were also completely surprised by the entertainment! They had a belly dancer and a great band and singer. It really made for a wonderful night out.
