A must-visit! Don't even read the reviews, just book a table and come. Amazing atmosphere in the place, friendly staff, delicious food.
My choice:
- main course lavash (a large piece of perfect meat with cheese and cabbage);
- veal hashlama (top 3 of everything I tried on the trip);
- wine and used lemonade.
In the evening, there is a full landing, so it is better to arrive either before 19:00 or book in advance. The portions of the dishes are standard for Armenia. I recommend a mandatory visit!
It's a pretty good place, I've been there more than once. I don't really recommend taking a barbecue, but everything else is pretty good. Tolma, compotes, salads, soups, desserts are top class. The service is on the level. The only thing that was very disappointing was hashlam. The potatoes were absolutely raw, to put it mildly, they were undercooked. And the meat was on the verge of delicious, tough, barely chewed! At what for such a price... And I have no objection to the price, it is obvious that such an institution in such a place should be expensive. But how can you bring a dish with undercooked potatoes and with such a quality of meat for such a price?!
Well, what can I say. They came thanks to the beautiful videos of Napoleon and a bag of pita bread. Among the advantages: the portions are large, the dishes are delicious, the prices are acceptable, the interior is beautiful. But maintenance is a separate kind of hidden aggression. The waiter did not introduce himself, casually poured lemonade, spilled it on the table. We ordered Napoleon and we were interested in serving it when they cut in front of us. He said that Napoleon was not enough, he would book. Well ok. But when we informed him that when he was cut in front of us, it caused violent emotions of negativity, he put aside a piece for us and wanted to bring it. Did we ask for that? Why put it off? If later you brought out a new huge piece to the rest of the guests? Or do you think that the guests are idiots? You could clarify whether the pitch is important to us or the cake is important to us. Well, it's not comme il faut to behave like that. The client is always right, even when he is wrong, and that was objectively not the case. Work on your service. Moreover, surprisingly, he served the table behind us as friendly as possible, introduced himself, but the dialogue was in Armenian. In general, you can talk a lot about the disadvantages of the service, and it was not pleasant for me, as an ethnic Armenian. I will not come back to you again, I will not advise anyone. We didn't get any pleasure) we just satisfied our hunger)
