Jaco Restaurant & More — Restaurant in Yerevan

I visited this restaurant last night on the recommendation of my friend. Little did I know that a gastronomic surprise was just around the corner of Komitas Avenue. From the outside of the restaurant, I was thinking of regular Syrian fare. The board hanging outside proudly declared that the restaurant was found in 1946. Once seated, we were welcomed pleasantly by the waitresses. The order was taken down in a jiffy. The ambience was bright and cheerful. People were sitting around with friends and family, and definitely were having a good time. Nargile (hookahs) were available all around. Nargile derives from the Persian word nārghile, meaning coconut, which in turn is from the Sanskrit word nārikel. I came to know that the tobacco were brought from eastern countries. Exotic indeed! Aromas were different and prices were great. And a guy was changing the burning coal on the hookahs at regular intervals. We had heard beforehand that the Shish Tauk (Chicken Kebab) was the best of the lot. Little did we know that it would be so fulfilling. So our initial order comprised of Shish Tauk, Chicken Nuggets and French fries, Houmus, Shaurma sandwich and Apple Juice. We were eager to know about the lamb delicacies and a friendly Syrian Armenian guy (guess he was the owner cum manager) turned up. He guided us efficiently through the menu but we decided to try it another day. The food arrived shortly. The chicken was tender and juicy. It was not too spicy and oily. Houmus topped with olive oil was a good appetizer. The fries were crispy. The Shaurma sandwich was juicy and evenly grilled. In a word, this is the best Syrian food you can have in Yerevan. At the end, our Syrian friend sent us a complimentary chocolate cake. And really, this turned out to be the icing on the cake. Personal touches like these to guests who have visited your restaurant for the first time make you stand amongst the crowd. And this persuades you pleasantly to come back again and again. Before leaving, we thanked him for the wonderful food and services he provided us with. And then we left, leaving with a contended mind, full tummy and happy heart, as goes the Spanish proverb “Barriga llena, corazón contento” (full stomach, happy heart). Highly recommended to everyone...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Jaco, a hidden gem of a Middle eastren restaurant tucked away in Yerevan, and let me tell you, it was an experience to remember. From the moment I stepped through the doors, I knew I was in for something special.

First and foremost, the food at Jaco is simply outstanding. Each dish burst with authentic flavours that transported me straight to the heart of Lebanese cuisine. Paired with some delightful local wines, every bite was a culinary adventure that left me craving more.

But it's not just the food that makes Jaco stand out - it's the atmosphere as well. The restaurant boasts an authentic design that captures the essence of Lebanese culture, creating a warm and inviting ambience that instantly makes you feel at home.

One dish that particularly stood out to me was the chi kyufta - it was simply amazing. Perfectly seasoned and expertly prepared, it was a true testament to the skill and dedication of the chefs at Jaco.

Of course, great food is only part of the equation - service is equally important, and Jaco certainly delivers in that department. The staff were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, ensuring that every aspect of my dining experience was nothing short of perfect.

And let's not forget about the prices - for the quality of the food and service you receive, the prices at Jaco are incredibly smart. You'll leave feeling satisfied both in your stomach and in your wallet, which is always a win in my book.

In conclusion, if you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience in Yerevan that combines amazing food, an authentic atmosphere, and excellent service, look no further than Jaco. Trust me, you won't be...
