Customer Reviews

Great Armenian restaurant with some Russian and Uzbek specialties. Everything was really great. We had borsch, plov, lamb, beef koobideh, chicken filet, dolma, khachspuri. Everything was fantastic. I wish Borsch was warmer, but the taste was good as well as the spread and the brioche. There was my favorite Georgian lemonade Dyushes. Some of the food was left dye to large order and we took it away. Hopefully eggplant rolls will be added to the menu soon. The Georgian Kharcho soup would be amazing, too.

I'm shocked this place doesn't have ALL 5 star reviews. I ordered the hummus and bread for the appetizer, and the chicken breast bbq plate for my main. I tried some of the borscht my mom ate and it tasted good; she was very satisfied. The atmosphere and service are also very good, I was pleased. Came here on a Friday evening, wasn't too busy. Can't wait to come here again. Note - the tea selection here is outstanding. I would HIGHLY recommend this place for healthy and delicious Armenian food.

Authentic borscht and various Armenian selections that will surely make you feel at home. The lamb I had was a good texture, showing it was made with care; & I love the bread basket with the different options and the gourmet butter. The atmosphere felt inviting and the two blonde server ladies gave great service and gave insight into some of the items that I was not familiar with. They were friendly but not fake. I too appreciate the blonde server guy who brought the food out to us for his professionalism. A great spot for Armenian cuisine and some other Eastern European flavors thrown in. Good place to try out of this is what you look for. Also to mention the ceramic tableware is stunning. Only flaw is the nightclub or whatever event venue upstair could be loud.
