Cafe Carahunge Dilijan is a popular restaurant in Dilijan, Armenia, known for its delicious food and cozy ambiance. Customers have praised the quality of the dishes and the excellent service. It's not surprising that you're in love with this restaurant!
It's a great place. Delicious dishes: salads, lentil soup, chicken harissa, fish in the oven are cooked in the oven to order, better than in Sevan. Everything we ordered was delicious. Excellent atmosphere with rock art style decoration. There is a shop with merch, ceramics in the same style. There is a hall on the second floor with a view of the mountain, there is also a library. In November 2024, the waiter and the bartender were two boys who were attentive and did not screw up, perhaps not so experienced, but tried their best at everything. I advise everyone. In our opinion, the best place to eat in Dilijan.
I'll start with the pros: 1. Interesting design. 2. availability of a library and a shop with books and souvenirs
Further disadvantages - there is no service (it takes a long time to wait, even when there are almost no guests), the kitchen is all that they can not cook on the grill. Salads are more or less.
The price does not match the quality. The prices are very high (much higher than in Yerevan, the quality is much lower).
A wonderful place, the most delicious lentil soup I've ever eaten. The prices are optimal, especially considering that there are places nearby with a lower level of service, but the same prices.
It's not the first time we've come as a family. The previous times I put 5 stars. This time, the food, the service, and the boorish man at the bar spoiled the impression. First I ordered a Greek salad, Feta cheese had a strange taste. I ordered a chicken kebab with potatoes, they brought dried chicken and black potatoes. I tried potatoes - solid bitter coal. I didn't eat this dish, I waited for the waiter. But it is impossible to wait for the waiter, it is absolutely parallel to everyone that guests are sitting in the restaurant, no one comes up and asks how the guests are doing. I went by myself: the girl immediately agreed that the quality of the dish was unsatisfactory, apologized and offered to order something. She spoke indistinctly, but it seemed that a compliment was offered from the institution. I asked for cheesecake. When she brought the cheesecake, the girl said that she had removed the kebab from the bill. The cheesecake was hard, fresh from the freezer. After a while we asked for the bill. No one came up to us for 10 minutes, while the waiters at the bar just chatted and laughed. We approached ourselves and asked for the bill again, the waiter did not know which table we were sitting at. We were given an invoice, it became clear from the amount that the kebab was not removed from the bill, moreover, the cheesecake was included in the bill! The waiter behind the counter reluctantly removed the kebab from the bill, but about the cheesecake he began to convince me that I ordered it myself instead of the kebab. He started being rude to me: "we removed the barbecue from your bill, what else should I have done?". Well, actually, in normal establishments, after a poor-quality dish, the client is offered a treat as an apology. The word "service" is probably completely unfamiliar in this place. A spoiled dinner, an attempt to siphon money from a client who didn't eat anything delicious in this place, and continued rudeness even when it was already possible not to go to a confrontation with a frustrated client, so that he might come back and recommend this place to someone. And so, alas, no.
And by the way, plates should not be served in the hands of guests, but put on the table. This is something quite elementary.
I have never seen such disgusting service and cuisine in Armenia for many years, huge prices and very low quality, the day is overshadowed. Only fried mushrooms with onions were edible.
Очень атмосферное место! начиная от яркого фасада заканчивая библиотекой на 3-м этаже(книги на армянском и английском) , мы с дочками 1,8 и 8 лет зачитались. Детские книги очень качественные. Кухня вкусная! Подача быстрая. Свиной шашлык был самый вкусный, какой мы пробовали в Армении. Чек дороже среднего, но это стоит того.
Очень приятное место: атмосферный интерьер, отличный персонал, вкусная еда (местная и европейская). Отдельного внимания заслуживает красивая посуда ручной работы. Всё это вместе оставляет наилучшие впечатления и хорошее настроение от посещения данного заведения. Если вы будете в Дилижан-непременно побывайте здесь!
Очень остались довольны от этого места. Интерьер классный, атмосфера и уют. Персонал говорит на 3х языках, показывают уверенное обслуживание, порции достаточно большие и сытные, готовят очень вкусно, напитки в достаточном количестве на выбор. С удовольствием к повторному посещению!)
Свиной шашлык был ужасен, принесли сплошной зажаренный жир (брали филе), из общей массы только пара кусочков мяса. Эти два маленьких кусочка были очень вкусные, остальное непригодно.
Шашлык из баранины очень жёсткий. Обе порции были очень маленькие, хотя сказали, что каждая с расчетом на двоих.
Греческий салат принесли с редиской, но это ладно. Сыр в нем явно не фета, а наподобие козьего, что очень сильно повлияло на вкус салата.
Выбрали это место по многочисленным отзывам, ушли разочарованные и голодные.
Заказала шашлык из свинины и овощной салат, салат сложно испортить, но помидоры были несладкие. Шашлык, к сожалению, принесли сухой( очень жаль, тк место мне рекомендовали друзья.
Stylish, atmospheric, and most importantly delicious!

Шикарное место! Обедали-ужинали в итоге только здесь (перебровали 4 кафе и решили больше не рисковать).
Большие порции, очень вкусно, хорошее обслуживание, интересный интерьер.
Шашлык потрясающий, хотя конечно больше жира, чем хотелось бы.
Вкусненько, но шашлык из баранины был сильно жестким и не понравился. А так заведение хорошее и салаты вкусные)

Кроме интерьера всё ужасно. Поговорка гласит чем хуже готовит повар тем вежливые должны быть официанты. Шашлык из свинины и баранины есть не возможно ,пол часа повар надругался над мясом но и официанты не смогли исправить жуткое положение. Заехали пообедать с гостями и такой позор.
