It was a quieter, rainy day, but Ararat the chef delivered! The food was delicious, and the service and hospitality were top notch. Ararat was an amazing host and so kind in making us feel at home in his cozy restaurant. I left with an appreciation for all things orange zest. The soup, orange zest mashed potatoes, and orange cake were superb. Can’t wait to come back here again.

READ THIS. Unfortunately, the reviews here are misleading and reddit tells a much more accurate story. I wouldn’t be surprised if a majority are paid reviews I find it That hard to believe anyone would rate this 5 *s. The food came out cold across every dish and was very poorly prepared ie. reheated and tasteless. The ingredients were days old and it was evident. The cleanliness left a lot to be desired. It’s worse than you’d expect from a family member who is already a bad chef, on their worst day. The only redeeming factor is that the owner is a pleasant person. As I make myself a cheese sandwich for dinner at home, if you want an honest review it is this: listen to your gut and do avoid. Sorry mr owner, you were nice.

This is the sort of place Anthony Bourdain would have raved about. The food its self was so fresh and delicious but honestly it’s the whole experience that makes it special. It’s rare to find a place that feels this genuine ESPECIALLY in Greenpoint these last few years. Amazing food, lovely people, and such a great ambiance.

One of the best experiences we’ve had in New York! Let’s start with the food — it was absolutely amazing and delicious. But the real highlight of this place is its owner, Ararat. He was incredibly welcoming, funny, and kind to our group. He also shared the story behind his restaurant, which made the whole experience even more special. Highly recommend this place — not just for the food, but for the warm hospitality.

This is the type of dining experience that we need more of. Feels like you’re in your grandmothers dining room with a warm and attentive chef who wants to make sure you don’t go hungry with tons of delicious little surprises along the way

If only we could leave 10 stars for last night! What a memorable dinner and a birthday celebration for our son.
We were tired and hungry and stopped for a quick bite at the end of a very long day but in the end we didn’t want to leave the place (and stayed passed closing time). Chef Ararat is the most charming host, he makes you feel truly at home. I was so touched by his kindness and attention to our birthday boy, it brought me to tears 🥹
As someone here has already commented, this place has more character than, in my case, all previous restaurants combined!
Frankly, we felt that the prices were too low for what you get here.
Little Armenia Cafe showed why it deserves its good reputation. Enjoyable dishes with attentive employees. Staff at Little Armenia Cafe treats everyone with friendliness. The yelp reviews accurately described this restaurant. I might make a second trip here.

The team here cares about people. Both the menu selections and staff attention impress me. We found the pricing to be very fair. You can order just about anything on the menu and not be disappointed -- it's all very good. I return to this spot frequently with good results.
