    Caroun Mix Grill
    R. S.

    I regularly get food from this restaurant, and it's always delicious and consistently good. I can absolutely recommend it!

    Beef Kabab

    Went with the wife for dinner tonight and we had a great meal. They have robot servers which supplied plenty of entertainment during the meal. The kabob was full of flavor and the rice was great too. The hummus was flavorful and great texture. Grateful to yelp for finding a new spot to add to our list of repeat spots.

    We came here for lunch and am so happy we did. The place is decorated so beautiful. I definitely want to come back when they have entertained. The robots that bring your food to your table is such a fun idea. The food is large portions and so good. We both had the Caroun Mix. The meats were so good I loved it and the rice was so flavorful.

    I read the great reviews and decided to come early on Friday night, around 6 p.m. Why on earth would a restaurant open to the public have a wedding reception during dinner hours???? This was a full-blown reception with table decor, two photographers, and 40 guests. Looking around, you could see other non-wedding party customers looking astonished and laughing as the MC started talking on a microphone. The MC welcomed the bride and groom with a flower girl who threw rose petals in the middle of the restaurant for the bride and groom's grand entrance. Shame on the owners for doing something like this. People were hovering over our table, greeting one another. Our server was taking care of the wedding party and even apologized to us as we were leaving, since my husband had to get up and ask for boxes and a check. It was so odd and uncomfortable and ruined our experience. I will say we were checked on by other staff, but that didn't help the most awkward and surprising situation that was going on around us. I would have given this place two stars based on everything else, but the food was excellent. Also, my food was wrong, and a robot brought it over, so we had to take it off the tray. I had to ask another server about my meal, and she said she told my server, but couldn't promise that she would be over anytime soon because she was also serving the wedding party. Super professional-those were her exact words. Everyone was tending to the wedding party, and we did not get good service, which is understandable considering there was a wedding reception going on. I can only imagine how the rest of the night went, considering the DJ was also setting up to play music. I hope the owners will close for a private event and consider the rest of their paying guests who also matter and have many choices when it comes to where they can dine on a Friday night. My husband was hospitalized when we first flew in this week, and this is our one night for our first time in Arizona to have a nice dinner before flying home tomorrow. I came based on the great reviews, hoping to have the experience others had. Thanks for making our night extra special! The food is the only reason I'm leaving 4 stars.

    I've been here many times. I usually get the chicken shawarma. So good!! This time we got the appetizer combo too

    We ordered the grilled chicken kebabs with rice, tabouli, and the cucumber salad. We had it delivered with DoorDash. I think the food would've been better if we had picked it up ourselves. Food took way too long to get to our place. DoorDash driver had way too many deliveries before it got to our door.But we warmed up the chicken and rice it was good. We will order from this place again but definitely pick it up ourselves.

    This place is absolutely amazing!! From the feeling of being invited to someone's house and the absolute pleasure of seeing and tasting such amazing food, this place is remarkable

    Family Platter and Veggie Plate
    Kat R.

    When I visit family in Phoenix area, this is a favorite dinner destination. Caroun offers delicious food and an upbeat atmosphere. I highly recommend the family platters for feeding larger groups. We fed 7 with a "4 person order" and had lots of leftovers. Don't forget to try the veggie platters too! Delightful! Dinner here can get a bit pricey if you want to try all the dishes, but it is a worthwhile treat.

    Inside decor
    Susan K.

    If you're looking for authentic Mediterranean/ middle eastern food this is the spot for you. Inside the restaurant I felt like I had traveled to a different country, it was unique in a good way. Food was amazing! Certain dishes I wasn't too fond of the texture and taste, but that's my own experience. We shred the veggie plate, and I ordered the Caroun mix grill. My roommate ordered the kebab sator. Both were packed with flavor! Friendly staff and speedy service! Very nice gesture on the complimentary smoothie from the chef, thank you!

    Chicken Tikka ($20).
    Natasha A.

    Didn't need a reservation around 5 on a Saturday for dinner for 2. They also had a belly dancer around 5:45 which was a nice surprise. Great service and good food. The chicken tikka, and the lamb in the Tashreeb was very tender, definitely a highlight. Enjoyed trying a Romanian beer as well.

    Nice menu at this restaurant, the food is good for the quality here in Arizona. The entire business is clean but it's like all over the place, trying to do everything at once. Random stage with club lights and throne chairs and dim lights, a bar in the middle, a lounge on one side, machine food delivery...I personally recommend having some kind of divider..and maybe moving the stage to storage? it makes the aesthetic look tacky--but overall the decor inside is beautiful but the dimmed lights do it no justice. The service was okay, staff were nice and food was out quick, but barely checked in. We had to get their attention a few times. I'll probably come again.

    I had the pleasure of eating from this lovely establishment recently. Although we didn't dine in, we did take out and let me say it didn't disappoint. The meals are quite large and very delicious! Everything is full of amazing flavors. I can't wait to order from Caroun again soon next time we're up in the area.

    When I walked in I noticed that they had the hookah section on the left side and then just regular dining on the right which is pretty cool. The server was friendly when greeting us but then didn't really talk much to her after the initial order. Seemed like they had a good amount of people but not too crowded. The atmosphere has fmailies and some couples. Reminded me of a banquet hall. The food took actually way longer then expected and I think they may have forgot to bring it out or something because after a while of waiting they gave us that look like "oh snap we def forgot" I don't usually like to say negative but the following could be good area of improvement: I wish the pita came a little warm but it was chilled. The beef kabobs was pretty good, half of one of them was burnt on one side. Chicken was pretty good and juicy! The rice was bland and kind of reminded me of frozen rice that was reheated. I did get the baklava which was really good!!! The veggie plate was also good. I think the falafel was delicious and fresh! After we finished it was hard to find our server and had to ask someone else to grab the check. They finally brought it over and then I paid and they said they were going to bring a bag to take some items to go since we had boxes. Well I went to the bathroom and came back to my partner still waiting on the bag, so figured they forgot so we just walked out. Not a big deal but also could have been an easy ask but the funny part is they offered lol I was going back and forth between a 3 or a 4 because they do a really good job with presentation of the food. But because the service wasn't as welcoming, and not all the flavors were there I did decide to do 3. If I could I would say 3.5

Every detail you notice is extravagant and purposeful. Visiting on a Saturday for lunch, there were plenty of other families eating together too. I noticed the crowd was mostly older, which lets you know this restaurant is a true staple in the community (I find that usually the old people know what's up). As all 4 of us weren't super hungry, we split the Persian Room Special- Combination of barg (Filet mignon), chicken filet and Koobideh kebab, served with basmati rice and grilled tomato. It was a huge portion of food, served on a large silver platter. The menu states that it serves 2, but it perfectly filled us 4 adults! Granted, we weren't super hungry to begin with, but 2 is definitely an underestimate. I'd say it can easily satisfy 3 hungry adults. Anyway, quantity aside, THE FOOD WAS AMAZING! Everything was so flavorful and paired well together. The meat was also juicy. My favorite was the koobideh kebab for sure. There isn't much more I can say, as the food speaks for itself. The Persian Room is definitely something you need to try for yourself. Weeks later, I'm still craving it and will definitely be back!

My rack of lamb was ok, cooked to rare just how I wanted it, but it too, had a lot of sinew for little meat lollipops. My rice was also room temp, which could be fine, but seemed a bit odd to me. Thankfully this was a business meal, but we would have been both extremely disappointed had it come from our own pockets. Given all the five star reviews, I want to think this was a really off night. Wouldn't be my first choice next time, but I could go back and give it another shot.

I would legitimately come back just for pita and that garlic sauce. No shame. I ordered online and, because I have no self-control, kept adding things to my cart. Ended up with a falafel wrap, a side beef kebab, a side of rice, and a garlic sauce. I had no idea the wrap came with a generous serving of steak fries, so that was a nice surprise. Now... I may have ruined my own ability to objectively review the falafel because the first thing I did was absolutely smother it in that garlic sauce. Underneath my terrible scientific methods, the falafel was crispy, flavorful, and every bite had a nice little crunch of freshness (pickle, onion, maybe tomato? I mentioned, smoothered in garlic sauce). The pita itself deserves a mention, too. It was soft, fresh, and held everything together without falling apart. Nothing over-the-top or fancy, just a really good pita and a wrap that felt like a fair portion for the price. The beef? I only stole one bite because I'm saving it for later, but it was tender, flavorful, and paired with some seriously delicious crunchy onions. The rice is also waiting for Future Me, who's going to have a pretty great evening. The woman working there was incredibly kind. I showed up a little early after ordering online, let her know I was probably ahead of schedule, and she came out to greet me, chatted for a moment about the storm rolling in, and brought my food right out. One thing that surprised me was the size of the place. I'd seen people describe it as a "hole in the wall," but... I don't know what kind of walls they're used to. This place is much bigger than a hole. I'll definitely be back. Mostly because that garlic sauce has already made itself a problem. Future Jess checking in: I originally hadn't tried the rice, but now I'm standing in front of my refrigerator eating it cold with a spoon, and I have zero regrets. It's beautifully cooked, and there's this subtle cardamom flavor that somehow makes plain rice ridiculously addictive. I kept wondering what I'd eat it with. Turns out... nothing. It doesn't need anything. I also demolished the beef kebab straight out of the fridge, and it was just as delicious cold as it was fresh.
