“ Hidden Gem Alert: Bumped into an authentic Armenian Bistro in Mar Mikhael and I honestly loved every single detail. I loved how natural, simple, cozy, and friendly the whole environment was. It literally felt like home, you just feel the passion and effort spent on every detail. One thing I also noticed is that the owner was there, and he was literally observing and making sure that every single customer is satisfied. To be honest this was something that you don't find elsewhere. As for the food, we tried the Sujok, the basterma rolls, and the Manti all of which I highly recommend. For the prices we also had wine; we paid around 900,000 for 3 people which I believe is a very fair price! ”
“ Lovely little restaurant offering a fusion between lebanese and armenian cuisines. Owner and personnel are very friendly and food is tasty. I have found that the hummus and tabouleh are a bit contraversial as they had a lot of spices in them, but the rest was delicious. Highly recommended! ”
“ Lovely little restaurant tucked away in Mar Mikhael neighbourhood. Beautiful soft lit patio and also has a inside dining room. Friendly service, and very good menu. I'm visiting from Canada and it was very close to my apartment. So glad I saw it walking through the neighbourhood! ”
“ Such a charming place! It was my first time trying Armenian food, so I will have to try more before I comment on the food. But it was nourishing and soothing to my stomach! A bit on the pricey side, but I enjoyed my experience! I love the building/set up. I say it's a good place to bring friends and to try something new! ”
