Top 10 Middle Eastern food in Yerevan, Armenia
Find out what Middle Eastern restaurants to try in Yerevan. Long fought over by warring empires, the city of Yerevan survived centuries of foreign occupation, finally becoming independent with the fall of the Soviet Union. This capital city, a center of Armenian culture, has celebrated its freedom with a flurry of construction and a growing population. Despite this push forward, history survives in Yerevan - The Institute of Ancient Manuscripts houses books dating back to the 9th century, and the ruins of the Erebuni Fortress, built in 782 BC, still stand.

Sidewalk cafe/fast food joint which serves the best lahmajune (Armenian Pizza) in Yerevan!
Reviewed By JMK-Pittsburgh
We stopped here to try âArmenian pizzaâ (otherwise known as lahmajun) for the first time. My wife and I shared one along with a tomato salad. Both were very good and very cheap. Service was sluggish.We learned a few things during our visit. First of all, âArmenian Pizzaâ is a real misnomer as the similarities between pizza and true lahmajun are minimal. Lahmajun is basically pita bread with meat and spices on it. You can buy one with cheese but thatâs not a true Lahmajun. To eat, you fold it over like New Yorkers eat pizza. I think most people cut them in half and then folded but some looked like thy were folding a whole one. More importantly, most people eat one by themselves along with other things. We shared one and it didnât amount to much more than a snack. Glad we stopped here and wouldnât mind returning now that we know how to order their specialty.

Basically decided to eat here because I had just arrive in Yerevan, was tired and my AirBnb was around the corner. Turned out to be a fantastic place. it was already booked for most of the night but they could still accommodate me. Menu was Armenian / Middle East. Took the house special (tiny meatball with cherry) which was a combination I had never tasted before: super yummy all the way. Also had a tasteful salad and some humus + aubergine paste as a side dish. Dessert was Armenian Baklava. Not as sweet as its Turkish cousin, and therefore I loved it. Turned out that the cook was the mother of the 2 guys serving, and they gave me another piece for free because I enjoyed the first one so much. Staff were super friendly and super easy-going. If I ever return to Yerevan, I would eat here again on my first night.

So glad we left this place in time. When we arrived the only tables taken where a large tour group finishing their meal. When we were ordering the waitress was short and of the four things we wanted to order two were not available. She goes on to tell us that the kitchen is very busy and we should only order barbecue. We question her seeing as the tour group was leaving and we were the only ones left in the restaurant. She literally was trying to get us out of the restaurant before we even had a chance to order. Then when we said we needed a few minutes she started saying âwhat is the problem?â very aggressively. When I explained that she didnât have some things we wanted she stormed off and thatâs when we decided to leave. This place is only for tourists. Luckily we went to the Tavern only 2 minutes walking distance. The food there was excellent and the same prices for a much fancier place. Do yourself a favor do not go here. I cannot personally attest for the food but when the tour group left the amount of food left behind was a telling sign that is was not very good. Thank you for review:) If you test our dushies, you don't write this review.

I was a birthday guest. The hosts of the party reserved a table in El garden kids zone (open-air). The birthday had to begin at 4 p.m. I came at 3:30. Our table was already served, BUT!!! a flock of birds was eating our food, because the food was not covered. After I saw that, I ate nothing. Besides that, in the straw under the table were pieces of garbage remaining from the previous birthday, also spoons, candies, pieces of bread, etc. Waiters were too slow. We had to wait for a bottle of water for 40 minutes. For a place where you have to pay 5000 AMD just for child's entrance, this is too bad. This place is just like other kid's cafes in Yerevan, I mean, terrible. Unfortunately, a week later I was again invited to the same place, but indoors. No soap in the restrooms. Ugly food. Armenian cheese plate smelled badly. Pizzas looked promising, but the reality was that I got sick after that evening. Plus, too much noise for a little place. Never again. Thanks.Dear Guest, Thank you for having taken your time to provide us with your valuable feedback relating to your visit. We are sorry that you didn't enjoy your time at our Kid's Zone area because of bad service. We ensure you that we will do our best to find out what was the problem and why our waiters didn't take proper care of your order. Once again sorry for any inconvenience caused. We do hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the nearest future and provide you with a better experience.
