It was amazing khinkalias, kebabs, and wine. Thank you for the magnificent music on the piano ))) the service is quick and accurate. The price is moderate.
My favorite place with Armenian cuisine, I come here every time I come to Yerevan. A wonderful place with very tasty food and wonderful staff. If you happen to be in Yerevan and have not been here yet, then this is a big omission.
Special thanks to Lilia, Tsovi and Hasmik for delighting with delicious food and a kind welcome every time.
In the evenings they play live music on the piano, we often come in the evening with a girl to listen while walking)
Be sure to try the spas soup and shish kebab!! A great portion for very nice money. Meat is always great!
The girl always takes khachapuri and khinkali (I don't eat myself) and advises me very much.
In general, it is definitely one of the best places in Yerevan. I rarely write reviews, but it was a sin not to tell!
Today it is for me the most delicious, sincere and inexpensive place in the center of Yerevan. Very tasty first courses. A minimum of Armenian cuisine (for me, this is a plus), excellent service, excellent ventilation (do not forget about the basement), extremely reasonable prices and an unforgettable man playing the piano. Our colleague, who has been living in the same building for three decades, showed us this cafe. No one smokes indoors, divine khachapuri on a skewer. For a man, soup and a cradle - you can roll out sideways. It's always very tasty. If I find a photo, I'll add it.
The restaurant seems great according to reviews, but the location and prices are of a normal order.
But for each of the ordered dishes there are only disadvantages.
Summer salad: very sour and slightly salty.
Khinkali with beef: they do not stand and have never stood next to what is served in other equally tourist places. The meat doesn't seem so fresh.
The veal kebab felt burnt.
The flatbread with basturma absolutely lacked cheese.
Chikhirtma soup was the most disappointing. Instead of broth with the yolk dissolved in it and tender chicken, I got pieces of eggs and hard meat.
All this wonderful meal was accompanied by the aroma of dampness.
Delicious. Sometimes even very much.
The price/quality ratio is very good.
In the evenings, dinner is accompanied by an amazing pianist, who at some point casually switched to the accordion. If the audience deserves it, he tells stories from his life. Interesting.
About food and service: the expression on the waiters' faces may suggest that you are not welcome.. but probably this is not the case...
the waiters do not record anything, so they can bring chicken kebab instead of veal or forget to order something in the kitchen.
Dishes are brought as they are convenient, when ready, so specify what and how much will be prepared and ask them to bring together. For example. They have a very tasty mashed potatoes, but you will get it at the very end, when everything is already eaten and drunk, or maybe you will not get it if you forgot to order it ...
With all this, the impressions of the institution are definitely good, we had dinner here several times.
A great place, especially for tourists)
After a long walk, the portion of kharcho and khinkali were divine!!!
Special thanks to the staff for the high-quality service and responsiveness!
I hope I will have the opportunity to visit this place again!
Very tasty national Georgian and Armenian cuisine. The portions are huge, you can only eat salad and hot food with a lot of effort. Friendly staff, cozy atmosphere. The prices are reasonable. I definitely recommend it
They position themselves as "the best Khinkali since 1995", and it feels like the interior and staff have not been updated since the same year.
There are no questions about the kitchen as a whole (our simple dishes turned out to be decent, but the chicken in the boat might not be so over-dried). The questions are more about the atmosphere and service. It seemed that since 15% were included in the bill (a third of our stay there was played by a pianist and therefore an increased percentage), then it was not necessary to communicate politely with the guests. At first they passed by several times, not paying attention, then they barked "well?! Have you chosen?". The order was not repeated, they barked "everything?!" again, they did not ask in what order to bring it. At the same time, they took it out to my husband, and I choked on saliva for 15 minutes and did not even bother to warn how long to wait for my dish (thanks to the only nice girl who, unfortunately, did not serve our table, but came up and clarified that in 3 minutes they would bring me too). Maybe such a dismissive attitude is also a feature of the institution? If so, she didn't come to us.
It's a great place! We came here by chance, on the way from the cascade. Amazing cuisine, original interior, pleasant prices, convenient location. If you took khinkali, you'll lick your fingers!
An amazing place - a very cozy atmosphere, live piano music, incredibly delicious food at low prices and friendly service - I want to express my special thanks to the waitress Lilia for her attentiveness and good mood🫶🏼
We came in by chance... looking for a place to eat meat! Yandex gave us the nearest point and we arrived ... delicious, modestly atmospheric, there is some kind of highlight, we were on Thursday evening, we got to live music. Thanks! Guests from the Urals!!!
Don't believe five-star reviews.
Pros: location and maybe price.
Cons: we went into a restaurant, the waitress led us to a table, we just wanted to sit down, another waitress ran up and demanded that we move to another place, because this table had just been booked by phone. They put me in the hallway on the aisle. We didn't understand it at first, but when people started walking around all the time, it was something. But I really wanted to eat. It was a good meal. Khinkali is not khinkali (huge, not neatly molded, the meat was falling apart, not a "cutlet"). The wine is terrible. The music was in the hall, we didn't see it, but we heard it. They took 15% for it. The diner. The prices are affordable.
While I was in Armenia, I visited the restaurant 2 times. It is very tasty, the atmosphere is like at home, live music is playing and there is also a very tasty homemade pomegranate wine 🥰🥰🥰
A very cozy place with a large menu and huge delicious portions at the most modest prices! Special thanks to Lilia for the sincere service! We stopped by several evenings in a row and enjoyed the food, the atmosphere and the gentle live piano music.
I liked everything. Very tasty food, very pleasant and cozy atmosphere. The staff is polite and kind. Very nice guests around. We used to come here all the time for dinner.
The place is very atmospheric, the prices surprisingly do not bite, I advise you to try pomegranate wine!
And now about the food. At the entrance there is an inscription that the most delicious khinkali in Yerevan… And this is the truth! Shish kebab is also the most delicious of all the establishments we visited. Tolma is very tasty, only dolma from dolmama can be compared, but Aragilovskaya wins at a price! The atmosphere is something with something, very cozy and homely. We will definitely come with a big company!
There is no photo, they ate everything and did not understand how😂
Amazingly delicious cuisine! Khinkali was just a dump, boiled or fried, so far the best place where I ate so delicious!
And the best part is the prices! It is very inexpensive and at the same time very tasty. I visited this place 3 times in two days. I liked it so much.
The interior is authentic, and in the evening grandfather plays the piano, which adds soul to this institution 😊
Beautiful Armenian interior. The room is small, but very cozy atmosphere. Delicious dishes, large portions, reasonable prices. A good choice of dishes for a child. Khinkali with different fillings, khachapuri at a height, different dishes of Armenian cuisine were to our taste.
Live music in the evening, a man plays the piano beautifully.
Convenient location from the center, pleasant atmosphere, clean toilet. We found this place, just before we left. But we managed to visit three times.
If we are in Yerevan, we will definitely come back to you!
A must-visit on your visit to Yerevan.
The best Khinkali in Yerevan deservedly hold their title.
Khachapuri was also taken, but it pales before khinkali.
The recommendation for a visit is to be hungry and take a lot of different Khinkali, everyone will be on top.
I definitely recommend it, I will definitely come to Yerevan on my next visit.
It's a very tasty place. I especially advise everyone to try khinkali and lagmajo with meat. Many thanks to the waiter Lilia for the excellent service!
If you decide to have a delicious meal, come here! They took: khinkali (fried and boiled), lamajo and lobio. Everything is very tasty. Today, these are the most delicious khinkali that we have tasted in Yerevan.
A wonderful cafe, friendly staff. A beautiful bear with a padded paw at the entrance. Wifi works well, the usual network is bad (cafe in the basement). The food is very tasty, the price is acceptable
The quality of the dishes served on the table turned out to be quite average. I ordered khinkali (fried and boiled) and pork kebab (flesh). The shish kebab was the most disappointing - it was quite tough. Khinkali, in general, are not bad, but far from the best that I have ever eaten. I was pleased with the live music (piano) playing in the restaurant. Bow to the pianist and thank you very much!
I really love this restaurant. It is always very cozy, very tasty, wonderful music, very responsive staff. One of the few places where the spirit of old Yerevan has been preserved. I recommend it to everyone who cares not about entourage and fashion, but about comfort and delicious Caucasian cuisine🤗
The only positive thing is the live music. We ordered khinkali, we fell for the inscription "the best khinkali", as they say, it is also written on the fence. It's a complete disappointment- they're not properly molded, the stuffing inside is falling apart into flakes. Don't see each other at 5.0 rating. And the wine sucks too.
Very tasty!!! Homemade draught wine is very good! Armenians ate here, there were no tourists. It is the national cuisine that is rare in Yerevan. There are a lot of cafes in the area, but these are pizzerias, hamburgers, European cuisine. The cafe does not have a very presentable appearance, since it is a basement
Khinkali is awesome and very cheap. Dolma is wonderfully juicy (though more expensive). The pianist adds charm. I liked everything very much, I recommend it.
It's delicious at home. We had dinner twice, everything we ordered was very tasty. An amazing pianist plays a medley of popular and classic tunes from all over the world.
An absolutely amazing place! My favorite place in Yerevan)
The home environment, wonderful staff, amazing cuisine, the atmosphere is calm and conducive to relaxation and complete detachment from everyday problems)
I highly recommend it!)
The best restaurant pianist in town, and excellent khinkali. Try not to drink too much - it will be difficult to climb the stairs!

Very tasty food and quite inexpensive, for such a delicious cozy Georgian national restaurant, in the center of good Armenia. The waiter Lilya is very friendly and cheerful, the service is excellent.
I advise you to stop by and eat, for lovers of spicy and hot - the dish "ostri", and khinkali is just a delight, fried with sulugini, actually baked in the oven, but it's even better!
There is a dual attitude to visiting this restaurant, everything is very good in terms of dishes, but the service is extremely disgusting. Maybe I got just such a waitress, but that's not how they communicate with customers. She herself could not put together several different types of khinkali, demanded to remove a pack of wet wipes (they interfered with her), made ridiculous remarks to clients.
No, I'm not going there anymore. There are a lot of much more worthy places.
We went in for dinner , chose an institution by rating . When we arrived, there was no one there. We were sitting together, listening to live music. Literally 20 minutes and the cafe was more than half full . There were local guys and guests of the city. We ordered ribs, khinkali and eggplant rolls and local beer.everything is delicious. The bill was pleasantly surprised . I recommend this place!
Portions are designed for a company of hungry people.
You will never be able to order so that you don't have half left.
Very tasty
And in the evenings, the pianist also plays in the hall
Just a delight! It's delicious at home. I liked everything that we could taste: khinkali, dolma, soup. Everything is excellent! And eggplants with suluguni have always remained in my heart! It's a masterpiece. The prices are quite pleasant.
The best Khinkali in Yerevan since 1995! And it really is. Everything that was ordered was very tasty and relatively inexpensive. We went there several times during the week of our stay in Yerevan (very tasty). One evening, an elderly Armenian played Soviet classics on the piano. There are always a lot of people (regular local customers). If I am in Yerevan, I will definitely go there again!
A pleasant restaurant with traditional Armenian cuisine. We really liked the food and service, the prices are affordable. The visitors are mostly locals.
It's a very soulful place. Live music, delicious food, wine as nectar. I took khinkali, lobio, white homemade wine, khachapuri in Adjarian vegetable salad. Everything is very tasty. The products are very tasty. I recommend.
