Restaurant Ararat offers authentic Eastern bloc, Georgian, and Armenian cuisine in a cozy and friendly atmosphere. The restaurant is a small, hidden gem tucked inside a shopping mall in Mundelein, with about eight tables that create an intimate dining experience. The owners, a lovely family, provide excellent service and are happy to recommend dishes, explaining the menu to guests. The food is made to order using fresh, top-quality ingredients, ensuring each dish is delicious and hot. Popular dishes include Armenian style grilled eggplant (Khorovats), beef and lamb dumplings (Khinkili), and kebabs, such as Lamb and Chicken. The menu features generous portions, with appetizers like Italian Lady's Fingers—a salad of cooked bell peppers, nuts, onion, and prunes—and small dumplings that are highly praised. The wine and drink selection is unique, with Armenian apricot wine being a favorite. The restaurant’s cleanliness and professionalism add to its charm, making it a great place for a casual, relaxed, and delicious dining adventure. Be patient, as dishes are prepared fresh and served as ready, but the quality and flavor make it well worth the wait. Dessert options are tempting, and the small, cozy space makes it a perfect spot for celebrating special occasions or enjoying a quiet meal.
