Karun Bistro in Berlin

I discovered this Persian restaurant by chance and was really impressed. The food is super delicious, the flavors are fantastic and the portions are generous. It was a real stroke of luck and I can only warmly recommend it. Definitely worth a visit!

unfassbar enttäuschend: Falafel überfrittiert und innen keine pers. frische Gewürze, Harissa eher etwas scharfes Ketchup als wirklich echt, Hauptgericht kam gleich nach Vorspeise Hauptgericht Kubide & Dudje sowie Reis kalt und geschmacklich kaum persisch, Reis zudem nicht mit Safran durchzogen, keine selbstgemachte Salatsoße, Rotwein schwer genießbar (1€/l Fusel) Fazit: keinesfalls Restaurant (einfache Imbissbude mit Tischen & Hilfskräften), Standard fehlende Stofftischdecken, Tisch unsauber, keine Kartenzahlung - persische Begleitung hat sich geschämt, dass so etwas als persische Spezialitäten ausgibt, nix mit geschmacklich typisch persisch damit KEINESFALLS Berlin Top 1 Persisches „Restaurant“

CASH ONLY Best falafel of my life. Came here after a hike with my husband, the staff was really friendly and the place was lively but not overwhelmingly so.

A very good restaurant. Quite impressed. A visit here is worth it.

Nettes Lokal, gutes Essen! Tolle Mitarbeiter

I recently visited Karun Restaurant and was very disappointed. First of all, I cannot confirm that this is a real Persian restaurant as the dishes were not authentically cooked. The food had no taste and was not what I expected. I was also surprised that I couldn't pay by card, which is simply not acceptable in this day and age. Such information should be communicated to guests in advance to avoid unpleasant situations. I really don't understand how this restaurant received a 4.5 star rating from almost 1100 people. Unfortunately, my experience was anything but positive. I will never come back and I will not recommend anyone to go to this restaurant if they want Persian dishes!

Este restaurante persa se encuentra cerca de la estación de metro Wilmersdorferstrasse. Es un poco discreto, pero tiene una bonita pantalla de tarjetas de menú. Mi compañía y yo nos sentamos en el amplio restaurante y nos atendieron rápidamente. Ordené: Baghali (Makali con 2 bolas de Falafel, ensalada, arroz con eneldo y Halloumi) y té negro La carta del menú se corta al grano y ofrece comida rápida árabe y persa. Apenas encontré clásicos persas (con exenciones) , por lo que pedí un plato de mezcla persa/árabe, que se servía puntualmente, pero estaba poco condimentado, así que agregué algunas especias, que se encuentran en la encimera delantera. Así que la comida es sólida, pero no se debe esperar algo especial. Los precios son razonables para la zona de Charlottenburg - Wilmersdorf, pero es posible que obtenga mejor comida persa en la zona. ¡Todo sólido para un rapidito!

We ordered the classic menu for several people to pick up. Order placed in advance and then picked up on the appointed date. It was cooked perfectly for us and beautifully prepared for transport. Everything went smoothly and was presented in a warm atmosphere and mood. We would like to thank the chefs and everyone involved; it exceeded our expectations. Always happy and absolutely recommended!

one the worst Persian kebab i ever tasted!!! I am an persian girl, So I know what a good kebab should taste like. We order both koobideh and djoje kebab and non of them taste good, Also the price for such a small dish is too high!!? in other persian resturant in Berlin you can get a kebab dish in double size with this price.

Absolutely delicious typical Persian dishes and great tea. Very hospitable and customer-oriented service. 🌈☺️🍀👍👍👍👍👍

Always good! Excellent food. Best rice in Berlin. It could be a little more comfortable inside. The quality of the food is always impressive. Very nice team! My family loves Karun!

Magically attracted by a meal we had spent here for several years, we were once again treated to the same very good quality of food here, with what the Orient has to offer. I was also allowed to take something with me to BS and enjoyed it deliciously for a few days. Thank you very much and continued very satisfied customers.

Fast delicious food and service.

Dieses Restaurant ist mehr ein Imbiss. Es geht rustikal zu, Selbstbedienung. Lebhaftes kommen und gehen. Das essen einfach super, sehr schmackhaft. Rechnung ordentlich mit Steuernummer. Abzug wegen "Nur Barzahlung". Und dass bei einem internationalem Publikum!

Very tasty simple baba dishes! Ask for Alex's special record!!😉😆 Cash payment seems to be a problem for some! Always my pleasure! Best shawarma with self-made skewer and not tk delivery!

Hans wasn't through. Unfortunately the portion was too small. There was no option to pay by card.

Food and service top! I understand that a certain family-friendliness is part of it, but there are children running around the whole store and screaming wildly. This is going too far for a restaurant.

Delicious oriental cuisine with Persian flair. Vegetarians also get their money's worth here. Service is very important here and you are always served very warmly. There is plenty of seating and there is also a small play area for children. The menu offers a lot and is still clear and reasonably priced. I can only recommend this store.

Very tasty food, nice employees and a great boss. There is also a small children's area. Great service. Keep it up 👍🏽

Very tasty and everyone was super nice 😍 we come often. Price-performance ratio very good

The food is delicious, the service is great... A cup of tea is very delicious... The plate is enough for one person and includes a variety of salad, yogurt, rice and a type of selected meat... Authentic Persian food. Thank you for this experience... I advise Arabs to visit the restaurant 👍👍👍

Sehr gutes persisches Essen. Schmeckt wirklich lecker, blöd ist nur, das keine Kartenzahlung möglich ist. Vielleicht denkt man darüber noch einmal nach.

Kheili Mamnon...always very tasty, top service

Super tasty and very friendly people

Delicious kubide, easy going atmosphere and a friendly owner. A real treat at a great price. Sirous jan, merci.

I ordered chicken kubida with rice it’s good and the service is wonderful by Islam and thanks for home and the guys.

I'll never come back and won't recommend anyone!!! It's called Persian dish but mixed with Arabic something, you can't see anything Persian here! The rice wasn't cooked well, it was also bad and didn't taste good at all, there was hair in the food! Service not good either One star is too many!!

Persian food, thoroughly authentic! Really tasty and really great employees. I always enjoy coming back with my family and enjoying the neighborhood atmosphere.

Inexpensive bistro on the quieter side of Wilmersdorf

"Delicious food and very friendly staff, especially Sirous and Hamid. I would love to visit again!"

We are Iranian and visited this restaurant expecting to get authentic Iranian dishes especially Kabab Kubideh. But we were completely disappointed. What they served had nothing to do with real Iranian kubideh. The kabab was so burnt it was inedible and the grilled tomato was also charred. We paid 16 euros per dish for something terrible—tasteless, cold, burnt and far from an ordinary Iranian dish. This is one of the worst Iranian restaurants in Berlin. Additionally, the place was extremely dirty and there was no air conditioning. We will never go there again!

Honestly, anyone who gives 5 stars here doesn't have all of them or has come to terms with what's on offer and wants to make light of their shortcomings. Folks, go to Xberg, Neukölln or Gesundbrunnen and you'll experience an explosion of flavors at half the price. This shop has not made any effort to offer real Persian cuisine for a long time. It lives from tourists, neighbors and the poor who have to take their lunch break there. It's a shame, nothing more and nothing less. Lovelessly prepared dishes, crooked tables and western prices.

Such delicious Persian food and very nice staff! It's a pity we don't live in Berlin. Otherwise we'd dine here every day!

Thanks for helping me avoid waste! (Brought my own container)

Super nice staff, good food and large portions! Come back :)

It's a shame, the food was very tasty, but I was disappointed to discover that there were only two pieces of beef in the dish. When asked about it when I paid, the boss told me that next time I would get twice as much (meat), honestly. Well, a strange calculation, if I had 2 pieces of beef in the casserole this time, I'll get 4 pieces next time??! Reminded me of Istanbul, where many restaurants have a tourist penalty.

The staff is really super nice & the selection is very diverse. Perfect for drinking hot tea on rainy days 🍵

Very nice staff, and delicious food

Chicken top. Payment in cash. We went twice because we liked it so much!

I preferred mixed plate, chicken and beef with rice and salad. It was delicious. Employees were friendly

The food was delicious, the restaurant was clean, tidy and beautiful.

I have a new favorite Persian in Berlin! I had the number 3 and the sharwama. Great, delicious, varied taste. Very friendly and the tea was delicious too. Price: Normally what you can pay today. But ok

Muy buena comida, auténtico sabor. Si tienes hambre y quieres probar el kebab persa original debes probarlo en Karoon. Personal muy amable. Recibes tu pedido en menos de 5 minutos. Éramos turistas en Berlín y acabamos de encontrar Karoon por búsqueda en google. Volveremos.

Extremely delicious food and lovely staff, highly recommend!

I ordered shawarma, which was extremely delicious, but my friends ordered kebab, which was good at all, and the kebab was tasteless and very dry.

Simply great. We felt very comfortable and welcome. Luckily we found a place. The food was super delicious and the service was so friendly.

We visited the restaurant for a team lunch with my colleagues and I can't but say the best about it! The people that are working there are very nice and super friendly (somehow feels like you are not in Berlin!!), the food was amazing and they actually tried to fulfill any wish/request that we had! The restaurant also looks very clean, the kitchen, the tables, the toilets.. Extra points for the carrot juice which is actually a fresh, homemade carrot juice!! Couldn't get enough! I'll definitely visit again!

As always, the food is great....but I also have to say if you rework the place a bit then it really doesn't have the canteen flair....otherwise the service and food are great....

I ordered Kubide with Dudje-kabab. The food was expensive and unfortunately the quality was not good. So, Kubide must not be sour and dry! The rice was ready-made rice and not freshly cooked rice. Unfortunately, the Dudje-kabab was also dry and burnt. I also asked the waiter twice if I could get an extra glass but unfortunately they forgot. Never again.

Great Persian restaurant, simple and very good food. Also fair prices. That's how it has to be!

Super tasty and friendly, also vegan!

The food was very tasty and fresh... but what particularly deserves praise is the friendly and motivated service. It's really fun to eat there because the employees are happy

The food is very good. Unfortunately the snack atmosphere ruins a lot, it's self-service. The location and furnishings had a lot of potential. Everyone was friendly and the prices are completely reasonable.

The food is very, very tasty... the staff is absolutely top... I'm always very satisfied

Delicious food and very nice owners, always with a smile on your face!

It's okay, but nothing special. 13 euros for a shawarma plate with rice is at least 3 euros too much. You don't have to go.

I've been a regular customer for years, because the taste is just as good as it was on the first day. Can only recommend it 👍🏽

I have visited the Persian restaurant "Karun" three times now, mainly to enjoy the chicken shawarma. My father has been raving about the owner and the food for a long time, and I have to say that I am also very impressed. The owner is noticeably friendly and accommodating. He goes to great lengths to ensure that every guest has a pleasant stay. So far, no dish has disappointed me. There were some elements that didn't quite suit my taste, but that's more a matter of personal preference than the quality of the food. I would particularly like to highlight the hummus and bread, which are served as a complimentary appetizer and are extremely tasty every time. The restaurant itself is medium in size and the menu does not reflect the full range of Persian cuisine, but what is on offer is consistently delicious. If you are in the area and fancy Persian cuisine, you should definitely stop by here. You feel comfortable and the food simply tastes good. I can only recommend this Persian!

They don't take debit cards. You can imagine why?

very good food, fair prices. very friendly people. Thank you very much for the good hospitality.

We used to love coming here often. Unfortunately, the food was very poor and the great dumplings gave way to “rolled bread”. Unfortunately, the detour here is no longer worth it.

The service and atmosphere was Great and They behaved warmly and were friendly, The taste of my food at Zereshkpolo was good but not perfect from my view . The price was reasonable. In brief, I recommend this Persian restaurant.

I'VE BEEN GOING THERE FOR 15 YEARS AND KARUNA'S IS CONSTANTLY DELICIOUS!!!

Delicious and juicy shawarma! One of my favorite shawarma places in Berlin. Not dry and generous quantity of chicken inside. Staff is very friendly and gave us a complimentary tea during my last visit. A lot of seating available inside and outside as well. A small kids play area is also available and bathrooms are clean.

Great fresh food, full of taste and very varied. Amazing meat, we had some chicken in different dishes and it was super well prepared! Had some humus and haloumi on the side that made me secrectly lick my fingers :) THANK YOU!!

Great place to rest, even with children

Very delicious Djudje Kebab, marinated with Persian Safran and lime. Perfect 👍🏼

Recommended 👍🏼 Very tasty food, especially the Hänschen skewers are very tasty. The staff are nice and hospitable. Mr. Navid is very friendly and spoke to us in Persian, which was very sweet. Of course I would love to come back here.

Great Arabic, Persian cuisine, friendly service, the tables could be cleaned more often but otherwise everything was ok.

Very nice, very tasty food, top service and just great, absolute insider tip...

I think this restaurant is very good. The food is very well thought out. The vegetables are on point, the meat is on point. There were six of us here as a family. Everything came at once. The dishes were all very fresh and very tasty. In general the food is very authentic. The prices are so reasonable. There were plates between 12-17€ (2 skewers with salad, sauce and rice for 17€! Unbeatable). The bread is fresh and the humus is fresh. The drinks are all cold (I observed how an employee sorted the non-cold drinks to the back when refilling... you don't see something like that every day... my respect at this point). The kitchen doesn't let itself be disturbed and waits until the meat is cooked through. I will definitely visit this store more often with the family. But pictures say more than words... I can/will/must recommend this store.

I love this place and people there! I am always there during IFA exhibition for last few years. I will come back again this September and can not wait. Great authentic food, amazing friendly people. Greetings from Poland Karun Team and see you soon!!!!

Unfortunately service wasn't that good. The food itself was good, and the tables outside were a great combination with the good weather.

WoOow incredibly delicious 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Calling the place a restaurant is an exaggeration, even by Berlin standards. At best, the prices here are reminiscent of a restaurant. These have also attracted a lot of attention here, as snack bar owners also want to drive Porsches these days. You can now get a flat shawarma in a dough for 7 euros. In the 2 minutes that remain until you have eaten the thing, you can think about what is so expensive about a shawarma and why you spend so much money on it but are still hungry afterwards. Even though it is Persian you can hardly tell the difference to the surrounding Arabs. Halloumi, shawarma, makali, hummus are all familiar without ever having been to a Persian before. Even a Sudanese man in the neighborhood sells the same dishes. At most, the names of the dishes vary slightly in spelling and of course the price. Shawarma costs 5.50 there, which isn't cheap but at least more reasonable for what you get.

Good and honest food at normal prices these days. Very familiar atmosphere, you are always treated in a friendly manner. The food tastes great, is on the table quickly and tea is on the house 🎉🎉

I haven't eaten so well in a long time. A dream!

Food was nice, though service was not so good

Hello, I'm Aryan, I ate there at 4 p.m. and ordered my lunch and had to wait 15 minutes for my food and the food was of such poor quality that I thought I was eating from farmers so I was really throwing 20 euros in the trash I had such a stomach ache that I couldn't go to the toilet for two days. Please don't eat anything there.

The tastiest kubideh I've eaten outside of Iran. Karun represents the already excellent Persian cuisine very well.

Great, super tasty and incredibly friendly. We will be back!

Karun offers a relaxed and cozy atmosphere. The staff there are incredibly friendly and the food is very, very delicious, I like going there ❤️

I had a delicious meal at Karun. A fresh peppermint tea and a house ayran, as well as a vegetarian plate (23). It was a pleasure. The atmosphere is more like a snack bar but I don't care. The prices are absolutely ok. Staff very friendly. And the baklava is also great. Gladly again.

The food is delicious. The employees are always very nice and very hardworking. The facility is nothing special, but it is clean and there is a play corner for children.

My absolute favorite shop in Berlin!

Sehr gut geeignet für Familien 😁

Great service, very friendly staff and the most important thing: very tasty food❤️

The food wasn't what I expected, the taste was nothing like good Persian foods. Also it's mostly a self-service kind of restaurant with an old, (not so clean) kind of place. Also you can expect street musicians to come inside and play so loud with zero care about sleeping infants and at the end while you're having food in mouth, ask for tip 😅! The only positive thing is the cashier who was super nice and friendly.

Das ist mit Abstand einer meiner top 3 in Charlottenburg. Preis-Leistung stimmt und das Essen ist unglaublich gut. PS: bestellt euren Reis mit Berberitzen.

War am 18.12 mit meiner Freundin zu Mittag essen. Nachdem wir gegessen haben,bekamen wir beide ca 1 h später Durchfall !!! Nie wieder

REALLY tasty food for very reasonable prices. Loved the vegetarian sampler plate! Large menu with many interesting options. Self serve - order at the counter, and they deliver to your table.

Sehr zu empfehlen. Komme regelmäßig.

Ich war vor kurzem im Karun | Persisches Restaurant in Berlin Charlottenburg und ich war sehr beeindruckt von der Qualität und dem Geschmack des Essens. Das Restaurant bietet eine Auswahl an persischen und arabischen Spezialitäten, die frisch und authentisch zubereitet werden. Ich habe das Schawarma im Brot probiert, das aus saftigem Hähnchenfleisch vom Drehspieß, knackigem Salat und cremiger Sesamsoße bestand. Es war sehr lecker und sättigend. Ich habe auch die köstliche Falafel und den Hummus Teller genossen, die mit warmem Pitabrot serviert wurden. Die Falafel waren knusprig und würzig, der Hummus war glatt und aromatisch. Ich habe mich wie in einem orientalischen Märchen gefühlt. Das Restaurant hat eine gemütliche und familienfreundliche Atmosphäre, die zum Verweilen einlädt. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und aufmerksam, und hat mir gerne die Speisekarte erklärt und Empfehlungen gegeben. Ich habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt und wurde schnell bedient. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis war auch sehr gut, ich habe für mein Essen nur 10 Euro bezahlt. Das Restaurant ist sehr sauber und hygienisch, und hat alle Corona-Maßnahmen eingehalten. Ich habe mich sicher und geschützt gefühlt. Ich kann das Karun | Persisches Restaurant in Berlin Charlottenburg nur empfehlen, wenn man Lust auf eine kulinarische Reise in den Orient hat. Es ist ein tolles Restaurant für alle, die persische und arabische Küche lieben oder kennenlernen wollen. Die Portionen sind großzügig und die Zutaten sind frisch und hochwertig. Die Gewürze sind perfekt abgestimmt und verleihen dem Essen einen unvergleichlichen Geschmack. Ich werde auf jeden Fall wiederkommen und mehr von den leckeren Gerichten probieren. Ich bin gespannt auf die anderen Spezialitäten, wie den persischen Reis, den Lammkebab oder die Baklava.

Super lecker!! Alles frisch und lecker!

Bereits Anfang der 2000er und auch 23 Jahre später DER Schawarma in Berlin. Immer freundliche Mitarbeiter und lecker Tee dazu. Yammmiii.

Try chicken grill and chicken rise. It's a good place to remember home tastes.

Für mich der beste Persa in Berlin - unglaublich herzliche Menschen und immer gutes Essen. Bin seid Jahren Kunde 🫶🏻🙏🏻

Sehr lecker, essen 10/10 Personal auch top 10/10

Ein toller Laden mit sehr freundlichem Personal. Frische Zutaten und super lecker.

Ich empfehle diesen Ort. Sehr gute arabische Küche, super freundliches und schnelles Personal. Bis bald :)
