Came here for a quick bite with a friend and honestly the portions caught me off guard 😅 we ordered from the breakfast menu and it was a lot of food for what we paid. Tasty too, nothing fancy but definitely filling. Good spot if you just wanna hang out and eat without overthinking it.

Went for the khachapuri and it was solid&mdash;cheesy, buttery, exactly what I needed. Staff even spoke a bit of Russian, which helped. Place is small but cozy.

Grabbed a quick lunch here yesterday. Hot dog was solid, fresh bun, good snap. Sandwich did the job too. Place was busy but line moved fast. Not fancy, but for a quick bite it works. I&#39;ll be back when I&#39;m in the area.

The hookah here is really good quality, and the place has this cozy vibe that makes it easy to hang out for hours. Prices are a bit steep though, so it&#39;s more of a treat-yourself spot than a regular thing. Still, if you&#39;re looking for a chill night with friends, this works.

The swan fountain view is lovely, and prices are fair. Service picked up after we found the call button.

Couldn&#39;t swap banana out of my milkshake, took forever at the counter. Wine list saved the mood though.

The flaming Alaskan prawns are the reason to come here. They put on a little show at the table and honestly the taste matched the drama. Cocktails were fine but felt overpriced for what they were. Service took a while but I was too busy watching the fire to care much.

Been coming here for a while now, and the vibe stays consistently chill. Staff remembered my usual order this time, which honestly made my day. Food&#39;s been solid every visit, no complaints there. Place gets a bit loud on weekends, but that&#39;s on me for going at peak hours. Still my go-to spot when I want a relaxed meal without any fuss.

Google Maps took us to the wrong spot and nobody answered the phone. Finally found it after asking around. The food made up for the hassle though.

The baked onion side dish was really good&mdash;soft and sweet, exactly what I wanted. Steak came out juicy too. Service was friendly without hovering, which I appreciated. Just a comfortable spot to sit and eat without any fuss. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

The lahmmonge with cheese here is legit. Thin crust, good amount of meat, the cheese melts just right. Had the zaatar one too, solid but the meat version is the one I&#39;d go back for. Staff left me alone which I appreciate. Prices fair for what you get. Place was busy around lunch but didn&#39;t feel rushed.

The lamb shashlik here is still pretty good after all these years. Place has that old Yerevan feel to it, a bit quirky but fine. Keeps me coming back.

Came for the music and dancing, stayed for the food. Lamb skewers were solid, not dry at all. Place gets loud and packed by 8, so don&#39;t come expecting a quiet dinner. Service was quick though, even with the crowd. Good spot to bring out-of-town guests for a taste of local culture.

The wooden tables really do it for me &mdash; warm, simple, not trying too hard. Had a nice glass of Armenian wine and a decent vegetarian plate. Food&rsquo;s flavorful, though nothing mind-blowing. Place feels right for a slow evening, just sitting and talking. Maybe a bit quiet when we went, but that worked in its favor.

The dolma here is really good &mdash; you can tell it&rsquo;s made fresh, not from a jar. I had the lamb one and it was tender, well-spiced. Staff were polite too, didn&rsquo;t hover. Place is small, got a bit busy around 7, but we didn&rsquo;t wait long. I&rsquo;d come back just for that dish again.
