Amazing restaurant run by a Syrian family. Great food - not cheap but well worth it. We were in Yerevan for a week and ate here 3 times. Their madzounov koufte is as good as nene’s and mama’s - that was our initial reason for the first visit. Also had some Sarma, with meat (grave leaves, however on their menu they are called dolma) - amazing. We returned again a couple days after for breakfast, specifically ful (boiled fava beans) - also delicious. Choice of regular ful or tahinov (w/ tahine). On our final day, we wanted to end our trip with a great meal, so of course, we went back to Yasmine and had some kebabs, accompanied with a couple salads - and guess what? Delicious.

To add, the service is great! Very friendly, makes you feel welcome and right at home. Big shout out to our waiter Emil, who we had the pleasure of having for all 3 visits.

I only had two dishes -- dolma without meat and falafel sandwich with tahini -- and both were remarkable. Being from NYC, I've had plenty of falafel sandwiches, yet none nearly as good as this.

So light yet flavorful. The dolma were addictive! Great flavor, especially with a squeeze of the lemon. The restaurant has an intimate family-run vibe, and the service is warm and attentive. Highly recommended. *the music wasn't good and didn't fit the vibe of...
