Good and fast service. Hearty and delicious food. Beautiful and atmospheric design. Performances are sometimes held. A good place for big meetings and celebrations.
One day they forgot to bring 1 dish (there were 20 of us) and included it in the receipt. When discovered, the restaurant apologized and provided a glass of wine as an apology.
And now what I didn't really like is that the menu is very large, but while you're flipping through it, you'll forget what was in the beginning. It would be good to make a short list with the name/price.
Very beautiful stylized interior. Like the museum of the film "Caucasian Captivity", But in the museum they "eat" only with their eyes. So it is here for the visual 5 and for the kitchen 3. Prices do not correspond to the level of the kitchen, this is a fee for the interior. We ordered a shish kebab made from the flesh of mutton and brought over-dried meat, which is impossible to chew. Pea soup in general is not like soup, but porridge. Fried khinkali with potatoes - norms for 5. Dolma for 3+. Bozbash is on 4. Caesar is 3 (but my daughter liked it, so 4). Eggplants in Georgian (I didn't take a picture, because they were brought first, and we really wanted to eat) looked "lifeless" - 3. Only peach compote was delicious))
If you are not hungry and not picky about food, then you can visit this place to admire the atmosphere. But if you are hungry and at least know a little about food, then go take a picture and leave))
We didn't sit cheap), but the table was full. Excellent meat of several types, cheese, salads, wine, compotes. Everything is very tasty. My husband had a birthday two days ago, but they could only gather everyone on this day. They didn't give me a discount on my birthday. They say it's only day to day. The discount is given only when buying a cake. On this day, many people celebrated their birthday, all the tables were occupied, you can see a very popular place. I definitely recommend it. We enjoyed it. The show is great. Atmospheric, in the spirit of the film of the same name.
We stopped by for dinner. There were quite a lot of people. Of the advantages, I will note an interesting interior.
We ordered khinkali, cauldron with pork and cherry compote. Khinkali is generally good, but there is little meat inside. A cauldron is some kind of sadness: fried onions, mushrooms, sweet peppers, apples and absolutely tender, old meat, literally a few pieces. Such disgusting meat has not been eaten in 2 weeks of traveling in the Caucasus.
The service is poor. There is zero politeness and hospitality, dishes are thrown on the table.
The total check turned out to be 12,650 AMD, taking into account the automatic 10% for the service, which did not exist. I do not recommend it.
The restaurant is wonderful: the menu is luxurious, everything that I ordered was delicious, atmospheric, very clean, friendly, accept the WORLD map. But my friends, native Yerevan residents, said it was too expensive ;-)
The location of the restaurant, the surroundings, the interior (although in some places the letters from the quotes of the film have already fallen off), the performances of the actors - everything is on top! The food is delicious, the tea is too, but the fact that the score is pinned up negates all the advantages. Tea was ordered at one price, and the bill included almost three times more expensive. They say that what was ordered was not in stock. And who warned you about this? They silently accepted the order. While they were figuring it out, they also grabbed a portion of discontent. And no apologies. No, because of such unfortunate office workers, no one goes there anymore. I don't want to sit and calculate when I order a lot of dishes. And God forbid to celebrate a birthday there, I imagine what kind of check I will receive as a result.
I admire this place every time 🤩👍🏻
All the dishes are at the highest level! Delicious and fragrant tandoor lavash.
It is always very tasty, atmospheric and beautiful 😍
For me, this is a museum restaurant that I want to return to.
A cozy, I would say complex. There are also small rooms for large companies, there is also a common room with tables. There is a lot of space.
The kitchen is delicious, without pretensions. They cook quickly. The price tag is slightly more expensive than away from the center, but it doesn't bite.
The entourage corresponds to
There is a very large selection of dishes. The restaurant is decorated in the style of a movie... I liked it very much.... Everything is very tasty. The company consisted of 5 people... Not a single stop... Everyone ordered what they wanted... And traditional Russian-European :))) and national (mostly).... It's very tasty and soulful... Pleasant professional waiters
05.11.24 I was at the Caucasian Captive restaurant on Sayat-Nova 25.
I ordered a lamb kebab, barbecue sauce, Choban salad.
The salad is cut as large as possible, it tastes normal (fresh vegetables), the price is 1900 drams (almost 500 rubles.) for a simple vegetable salad, it is clearly overpriced.
But the apogee of the apotheosis was a barbecue - four small dry pieces on thin pita bread and a mountain of simple white onions that would tear your stomach to shreds. One of these four tiny pieces was impossible to chew because of the solid veins. The waitress asked if everything was okay. I honestly outlined the situation, the answer is generally expected: well, yes, probably a bit harsh meat… Well, yes, apparently in this institution it is completely normal for 3800 drams (900 rubles.) serve dry sole instead of juicy and soft meat.
Before I tried the kebab, I wanted to take another dessert, but the waitress could not clearly explain what cream was in the cakes, what they were made of, Googled and looked on the Internet…
After the barbecue, the desire to taste dessert disappeared completely.
They charge 10% for the service (in Portofino, the coolest Italian resort - 15%) - for what, it is not clear.
In general, there is no entourage at the restaurant, no service, no restaurant-level food. Apart from the pretentious prices, nothing hints at the restaurant.
Therefore, I do not understand the rave reviews, maybe I was so unlucky. Maybe on Amiryan 6 the quality is completely different, but I write as it is.
The mood is spoiled, expectations were not met (I went there after reading the reviews). The place is clearly overrated.
I put one star ONLY FOR LIVE MUSIC: the pianist played wonderfully there.
It's very atmospheric. You plunge into the entourage of your favorite Soviet cinema. Delicious and varied cuisine. Beautiful and incendiary dance numbers in national costumes.
The interior is wonderful, delicious dishes, large portions, professional staff, even entertaining rooms were found-all this creates an atmosphere and mood... I definitely recommend it!
We arrived with my husband in Yerevan, decided to visit such a place advertised by bloggers on Amiryan Street "Caucasian captive". What can I say.... we thought we'd sit down and try different national dishes, but... The pork ribs have done their job. They were dry, the meat could not be chewed, the husband did not even eat them. When we told the waiter about it, the receptionist then came up to us and said that it meets the standards of cooking of our institution. Alas and ah! If these are the standards when guests (not just us) complain that it is impossible to eat, then...Draw conclusions, gentlemen! Another of the disadvantages, it seemed to me, we were not exactly welcome, since we came together and, probably, in their opinion, we would have ordered little.But, believe me, in other establishments we ordered many different dishes, and left decent checks.
Of the pros: sooo delicious eggplant salad! I recommend it!
And the guys -dancers, just fire, did the show perfectly!
Conclusion: do not listen to bloggers, the meat there is really tasteless. There are a lot of other places in Yerevan where you can have a great and delicious meal. We will not return here
They cook very well. The level of service is excellent. I visit them all the time. After 6 pm, a pleasant piano. In general, everything is super, I definitely recommend it to everyone.
An interesting interior in the restaurant. Each table has its own quote from the movie of the same name. A small museum)
The portions are very large. Delicious.
The cocktails are named after the main characters of the film. I only "met" Nina and Shurik 👍
The interior is interesting and original. But the service leaves much to be desired. Two times we pre-booked a table and two times we were put in some kind of room at the back. I can't wait for the waiter. It's a long wait for food. It was not delicious, they ordered eggplant with filling, the eggplant turned out to be burnt, and the filling was raw. Homemade bread is delicious. The dolma is medium, you can say edible. It seems that there are a lot of visitors because of the peculiar interior, so they don't really care about reputation. In general, there were bad impressions and there is no desire to return there, although back in 2021 we sat quietly in the main hall and ate quite delicious food, and the service was better.
It's a wonderful place. We've been to two restaurants three times. We returned to a smaller restaurant on Nalbandian Street for the second time. Just because the service is quieter and faster there. Many thanks to the waiter Anya and the girl who played the piano. Both have excellent cuisine. Everything is delicious. I recommend khinkali! Just a bomb.
Today we visited the restaurant "Caucasian captive". The interior is 5+. That's all. The food is not delicious, although we took different ones to try. We couldn't finish any of the dishes.
Now about the service: it's been a long time since we've seen such indifference to our guests. Asking questions about the composition of the dishes: the waiter at that time corresponded with someone and asked again what we had asked him.
The finale was that the waiter begged for tips, saying that what is indicated in the receipt 10% service fee does not suit them. Although, there was a desire not to even pay for food! I strongly do not recommend it! The owner needs to pay attention to the work of his staff. There are other beautiful places in Yerevan, but not the Caucasian captive.
I haven't eaten anywhere tastier in Yerevan! The table was full of fragrant meat, vegetables, cheese, tortillas, wine and cognac! Everything was prepared quickly enough for a large company. Magic) I will be in Yerevan, I will definitely come back!
It's a cool format of the place, but it's too noisy, zero privacy.
For those who want to visit, you need to understand that it will be noisy, fun and delicious.
For the guests of Yerevan, it is one of the places that must be honored.
But I'll still keep the score for the noise and lack of restaurant service))))
The interior is chic, to the tune of the film "The Caucasian Captive". It's very atmospheric. As you walk to your table, you smile, remembering the plot of the famous comedy! The place is pop, there are a lot of people, so the food is not for 5 ku. The kebab is over-dried, khachapuri is very mediocre. The waiters are very slow. It is definitely worth visiting once, at least for the sake of the inter!! Every hour is a show performance. Hacky, but curious!))))
We went in for dinner and we got the last table. Hooray, lucky! - we thought.... and basically that was the end of luck. The entourage is impressive, paintings on the subject, statuettes with scenes from the film on the table, everything is very cool, live music was playing 👍 we made an order from the menu based on the advice of the waiter. Finally:we waited for 30 minutes, chicken wings were brought instead of ribs (they did not replace them, because they had been waiting for a long time and had been hungry for a long time), salads were brought 10 minutes after other hot dishes, lemonade was brought only when we were reminded of drinks for the second time AFTER all the edibles, when we were about to leave. Moreover, the order was for a carafe of lemonade, they brought 2 glasses of a drink, where half was filled with ice. Very correctly and choosing words (I don't like to swear), I asked to remove the "service" position from the account, because it was not from the word "at all", there were no questions about food - everything is delicious. As a result, the administrator came and literally yelled at us that we were ungrateful and did not need to place an order since we did not want to pay for the service, we were served by a young guy and he was INEXPERIENCED. This is the first time I have come across such a thing that the administrator spoke so rudely to the guests, and did not apologize for the confused employee. There were three of us girls, polite, not aggressive, sober)) enthusiastic about the city and the country. Armenians are famous for their hospitality and respectful attitude towards guests, BUT it's as if they are not in this institution. There was a couple sitting at the next table, who were also shocked by the service - there is a sign on each table stating that a discount is provided on the account on the birthday. But they were refused, roughly motivated by the fact that the discount is only if they order a cake (whole!!!), and there was no such note on the plate. In general, the staff of the institution that evening (04/7/2024) apparently had the "wrong day" that they so sharply crossed out the opinion about the hospitality of Armenians.
The place in the center is recognizable. Constantly on this corner, those who wish take pictures with a sculpture of 3 beautiful actors from the film. The cuisine is just as recognizable for Yerevan. The prices are average, the service is not bad.
The restaurant is gorgeous and the chocolate khinkali with nutella is JUST CHIC! Beautiful design and kind staff.We lived with dad and friends in front of this restaurant at the National Hotel, we came often and everything was delicious every time.
Great restaurant! Good cuisine! A unique atmosphere from the movie "the Caucasian captive"! The staff works at a very high level! Acceptable average check 👍
THERE is VERY TASTY FOOD HERE, very beautiful decoration of the restaurant, you enter as if into a museum, right at the entrance you meet a person who makes very tasty soft bread in a tandoor , I really liked the place with everything, service, decoration, and delicious food
The restaurant just captured our heart!
The service, of course, was long, the boarding was complete, but the atmosphere was simply unreal. It is obligatory for all guests of the city to visit.
It is better to book in advance.
The place is atmospheric, the food is delicious, the service is excellent. We took assorted kebabs - very juicy and delicious. Gata is generally a dump of everything, I recommend it!!!
There are problems with ventilation, big problems with sound quality, an atmospheric interesting place, not everyone cooks well (do not hesitate to call the manager when it is poorly cooked). Khinkali is very tasty, but they put a minimum amount of meat there. Shish kebab is cooked well, salads are also OK
The most beautiful restaurant I've been to, the interior, the atmosphere is so atmospheric, these cool phrases and very, very tasty food, I'm really delighted
Очень атмосферное место! Все круто и детально воспроизведено по одноименному фильму. Блюда красивые, большие, хачапури с двойным желтком, ну просто пальчики оближешь. А вот хинкали подкачали, на стоооолько острые, что вкус еды не ощущался. Не понравились, хоть и сочные были. Хорошо, что дети взяли люля и картошку, а то пришлось бы оставлять хинкали, потому что есть невозможно!
A great restaurant in a good location.
Good food, nostalgic interior.
The only thing that confused me was the not very friendly waiter. It doesn't look like Armenians, we even asked him out of curiosity who his nationality was. They still didn't understand. Well, in general, it's a good place. I recommend.
Great place, great food. The surroundings are very interesting. Each table is decorated differently, and artists perform every half hour. It is mandatory to visit.
Come in, drink wine, have a snack with excellent homemade twists, wait for a barbecue and that's it. You can stay right there. The interior is not as interesting to me as the evening gatherings, music.
We were passing through Yerevan and went to this place, the atmosphere is pleasant, the cuisine is delicious, we did not book in the morning, we sat in a large hall, we liked everything, the price is quite acceptable.
The food is delicious, the cuisine is clean, the atmosphere is just great, the waiters are polite, I really liked it, I advise everyone to definitely go
There are 2 establishments with the same name in Yerevan. Here is a post about a restaurant on Amiryan Street.
The location is excellent. Several halls. It is better to make an appointment in the central hall in advance, there is a show program and it is usually busy. If you want to eat in a quieter environment, then go to the far one. A beautiful entourage from a famous movie.
There are many dishes on the menu that can satisfy anyone. Mutton, beef, pork, fish - everything is there. Delicious. I think the eggplant salad is one of the best in the city. Lamb kebab too.
Only the interior, then the advantages end.
If you don't want to be disappointed in the Armenian hospitality and delicious food, you shouldn't come here.
A large flow of tourists, no management of the kitchen and hall, the result is that they ordered one thing, brought a completely different one.
And it would be fine if it was delicious, but the food was mediocre, they did not apologize, the order was not changed, they began to make a row, in short, a quiet horror near the center.
Great place, great cuisine. attention: Very large portions! Be careful. Well, the fact that the WORLD cards are accepted is super. I realized only after 2 days, having suffered problems with payments 🙂
Great place!
During the time that we have been in Yerevan, we have visited this restaurant twice.
All the dishes are very tasty and what is important for me, they are not too salty! and they're not even salted - that's a big plus.
An interesting place, a large menu. Everyone has something to choose from. They took aveluk, tongue, khinkali and kebab. It was delicious. Of course, the service is not prompt and not all the waiters are friendly, they just walk around with a dissatisfied face.
Место туристическое, посетителей много, поэтому сейчас нулевой. Рады только большим компаниям. Если вы пришли парой, то вам не рады, нас отвели в отдельный маленький зал около кухни, битком забытый людьми, ни уюта ни комфорта, на просьбу сесть в большом зале (было 5 свободных столов) ответили что всё зарегистрировано, что явно неправда, некоторые столы были просто не убраны (люди ушли только что).
Мы зашли вечером, мест не было, попросили зарезервировать столик на обед, сказали что не нужно, в обед свободно, приходите. Мы пришли, но сидеть в ресторане за кухней, при наличии свободных столов и почти всех свободных отдельных залов на компанию, как-то не захотелось.
Цены выше среднего, а уровень сервиса исключительно низкий, так как туристы идут ради названия и посмотреть статуи любимых киногероев. Композиционно сделано интересно, а сами статуи крайне низкого качества, лишь отдалённая схожесть.
Вывод делайте сами: ресторан отказал в посадке 2 людям в ожидании больших компаний, при загрузке ресторана 50 %. Ну то есть не отказал, а предложил сидеть на задворках за кухней.
Если вас такое отношение к себе устраивает (а многих устраивает, судя по забитому битком маленькому залу за кухней), то это ваш выбор.
The wine is warm, but the food is delicious.
We were lucky, they put us in a separate room, the rest of the room was extremely loud. Inside there are many different figures from the film The Caucasian Captive. The queue at the entrance is a familiar thing, but it passes quickly.
From the point of view of the interior, 5 points, the kitchen - 5 points, but the service is -0!!!
How can this be!
The waiter almost throws the menu in the face, it is not possible to get through: they huddle and chat with each other, as in a joke, if you decide to take the food with you, you will get a tray and you will put it yourself.
Apparently, it is a Yerevan service.
The only pleasant thing besides the interior and kitchen is that you can pay your bill with a world card.
