This is a very good restaurant to have Armenian food. It's a big place with lots of seating. Great service & the staff are conversant in English so that always helps. We went in for Sunday lunch and had the chicken salad, the patuk & the Siberia soup and the bread platter. For main course we ordered a skewer apiece of lamb and chicken kebab. The soups were really hearty and flavourful. The Siberia soup had a light almost clear broth with veggies and dumplings with a filling. My patuk soup was lamb tenderloin, chickpeas and potato in a light broth. Not huge portions but really hits the spot on a cold rainy afternoon. The chicken salad was really yummy like a tasty sandwich filling. Grated chicken and carrots in a mayonnaise with light herbs. Great to fill up on with the freshly baked bread. The kebabs came and they were excellent. Tender and melt in your mouth goodness. Prices were affordable but I wouldn't call them cheap. If you haven't had any Armenian food yet then it's definitely highly recommended to visit this restaurant.

The place is so great considering it's underground. I love the aesthetics and the uniform of the staff slays. The only thing I want to point out is that given the staff can't really understand English, they should've been more understanding with the body language of the customer especially on my experience that I had to change my order last minute because they told me that it would be impossible for my order to be served for one person rather it can only be served if the food weighs 1kg which is too impractical as I don't really eat that much. As I'm choosing my new order, we did inform the waiter to come back in a few minutes as I'll change what I want to order. But due to the lack of understanding with English, he had to wait in front of me which made me uncomfortable and decided to choose what my sister chooses. How unfortunate that there's a lot of dishes on the menu that I should've choose but since I became uncomfortable I chooses the common pork loin. But this is just a minor thing. Overall, a great place to visit.

The restaurant has a charming and cozy ambiance with an authentic vibe that sets high expectations. Unfortunately, the food and service didn’t quite match the atmosphere. We tried several dishes, including the chicken barbecue, which was disappointingly dry, and the lamb barbecue, which had good flavor but was tough and difficult to chew. The salad was fresh and delicious, but the stuffed eggplants were overly oily. As for the service, while the waiters looked professional and well-dressed, their demeanor felt cold and unapproachable. They silently placed and cleared dishes without a smile or even a simple friendly gesture. No one checked on us during the meal to ask if everything was okay, and when it came time to pay, it was simply a transaction—no follow-up, no farewell, just “paid and bye.” Before leaving, we decided to address our concerns directly with the manager because it wouldn’t feel fair to share feedback publicly without giving them a chance to respond. The manager listened and attempted to justify the quality of the food, assuring us they’d do better “next time.” But honestly, how could they even remember us next time? While we appreciated the chance to share our feedback in person, the overall experience left us feeling that both the food and service need significant improvement.

The only dishes that we ordered that were good were the water and the hummus. Not even the bread basket was all that great. They served us very hard and tough bread. We ordered a beef, tomato, onion, and spices dish that resembled stew (I think the name was Jakarta, or something like that). While the flavor was good, they put too much salt in it. It was too salty to continue eating. Another dish we ordered was Kufta or something. This dish we did not enjoy at all, and left it on our plates mostly untouched after the first bite. The menu said beef, but the texture was like a boiled meat paste. It was rubbery and very off-putting. Also tasted very cheap, and reminded me of school cafeteria mystery meat in the USA. Something I had an issue with was the smoking. They allow indoor smoking at the tables. The place is already underground, so there is no wind or air to take the smoke away, and everyone around you has to breathe in the same smoke. I left the restaurant hungry and very disappointed. The service was decent, though. And the speed that the food arrived at your table was reasonable. I just didn't enjoy the atmosphere sitting there breathing in all of the smoke and I was terribly disappointed with the food.

This charming Caucasian restaurant offers a delightful escape into the past with its old-world ambiance. Luckily, they were able to accommodate us even without a reservation, which was a huge plus. The food was a real highlight. We tried a variety of dishes, and everything was incredibly flavorful: * The adjarian kachapuri was a standout - definitely recommend it! * The classic dolma were perfectly prepared and bursting with taste. * The BBQ lamb and pork ribs were cooked to perfection - tender, juicy, and well-seasoned. * Even the grilled mushrooms were surprisingly delicious. The only minor letdown was the spicy sauce we requested. It wasn't as spicy as we'd hoped for, tasting more like a tomato sauce. Despite that, the service was excellent. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made our dining experience very enjoyable.

We visited this place at 4:30. They told us we could only be there until 6; which it was odd because they had lots of empty tables. We ordered Tabbouleh, Tolma in cabbage leaves, pork tenderloins, and Chef languette. We also wanted to have Arishta side dish for pork tenderloins, but the waiter told us it's gonna take 45 minutes. Tabbouleh was good, just like a normal Tabbouleh. Tolma could taste better. It was really salty. Pork and veel were OK. The mashed potato on the side of the veel served cold, it was uncharming. The staff were not helpful at all and they had a bad attitude. Overall, food was mediocre. Atmosphere was nothing attractive. Service was bad. I don't see myself visiting this place again. I believe there are much better options out there in Yerevan.
