Such a great local spot! The food is fresh, flavorful, and the portions are generous. The grilled meats are delicious, and everything has that homemade Armenian taste that makes the meal feel special. The service is warm and welcoming, and you can tell they care about their customers. A wonderful place for good Armenian food—I would definitely recommend it!
