    Nice restaurant with a large terrace, wide selection of consistently good food with lots of wines. Lots of vegetarian dishes at very reasonable prices. Service is always very nice (and Chef Rabun anyway). Especially in summer it is very nice on the terrace in the evenings.

    (Translated by Google) I don't even know what to praise first: the beautiful summer terrace, the incredibly delicious and inexpensive food or the original and totally committed chef. Oh, everything is great there and an absolute recommendation!

    (Translated by Google) Very cheap and delicious! The side salad z. B. was with fresh, varied ingredients and delicious. The grill plate was also perfect for 2 people. Everything fresh and generously prepared. Parking is available. Very hospitable, nice staff - you feel very comfortable there! And the Armenian coffee was still free at the end :-) (Original) Sehr preiswert und lecker! Der Beilagensalat z. B. war mit frischen, vielfältigen Zutaten und sehr lecker. Die Grillplatte war auch perfekt für 2 Personen. Alles frisch und großzügig zubereitet. Parkmöglichkeiten sind vorhanden. Sehr gastfreundliches, nettes Personal - man fühlt sich dort sehr wohl! Und den armenischen Kaffee gab es noch zum Schluss gratis dazu :-)

  • 3/5 Peter S. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Kurdish restaurant. Interior quite old, and somehow mixed up. Big terrace, but also a bit uncomfortable. Had the appetizer plate with about 25 different variants. Everything was fresh, the taste nothing special. But enough. The waitresses were quick but not very motivated. (Original) Kurdisches Restaurant. Inneneinrichtung recht alt, und irgendwie zusammengewürfelt. Grosse Terrasse, aber auch etwas ungemütlich. Hatte die Vorspeisenplatte mit etwa 25 verschiedenen Varianten. War alles frisch, geschmacklich nichts besonderes dabei. Machte aber satt. Die Bedienungen waren flott, aber nicht besonders motiviert.

    It's a shame that almost all of the vegetarian dishes come without side dishes such as rice, bulgur or fries. They used to be available almost everywhere, at about the same price. I also think that the restaurant has unfortunately become a bit unkempt and the quality has declined. I used to much prefer going there.

    Disappointing dining experience! My experience at this "restaurant" was extremely disappointing and I can safely say that one star in this review is still generous. We opted for the appetizer platter, where unfortunately all the dips had an unpleasant sourness, with the exception of the tzatziki. In a group of four people, we ordered the grill plate for two people twice. Unfortunately, the side salad proved overly salty and the meat was disappointing due to either too much fat or extreme undercooking, making cutting a challenge. The highlight of this visit, however, was the fact that we were initially told there was no pork on the grill plate, but ended up being served three raw pork meatballs inside. The rice tasted like a ready-made mixture from the microwave, without the right seasoning. In addition, fries and fried potatoes were mixed with the rice, which didn't taste good. The fries were also very greasy. The plates were served as shown in the pictures, even though they cost €30 each. We waited about 60 minutes for the two grill plates. Finally, I can say that this visit came to a sobering end with a bill of €99.50, without the boss coming out of the kitchen to clarify the disappointing experience. However, it is fair to say that the waiter, a young man, provided commendably positive and attentive service.

    (Translated by Google) Admittedly, the restaurant is not the most beautiful of its kind, but the food is plentiful and you can get really good food here even on a budget. Especially the starter plates are highly recommended. You can also sit outside on a huge terrace. The chef not only cooks great, but he and his team are very pleasant and friendly. (Original) Zugegeben das Restaurant ist nicht das schönste seiner Art, aber das Essen ist reichlich und auch mit kleinem Geldbeutel bekommt man hier wirklich gutes Essen. Vor allem die Vorspeisenplatten sind sehr zu empfehlen. Man kann auch draußen auf einer riesigen Terrasse sitzen. Der Chef kocht nicht nur klasse, sondern er und auch sein Team sind sehr angenehm und freundlich.

  • 1/5 Varntanian A. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The restaurant was very dirty, the grilled meat was cold and all dishes had mint as an ingredient. Simply not a good taste and exaggerated. Unfortunately we didn't enjoy anything. Not recommended (Original) Das Restaurant war sehr schmutzig, das gegrillte Fleisch war kalt und alle Gerichte hatten Minz als Zutat. Einfach kein gutes Geschmack und übertrieben. Leider haben wir gar nichts genossen. Nicht empfehlenswert

  • 1/5 Florian S. 1 year ago on Google
    Leider ein totaler Reinfall; Es hat 3 Std gedauert bis alle das Essen bekommen haben. Die Service war eine Katastrophe; Die Mitarbeiter waren lustlos und total überfordert Essenbestellung und Getränke mussten auf Zettel geschrieben werden und der Bedienung übergeben werden. Getränke Nachbestellung waren bedingt möglich ( Mindestens 3 x Nachfragen nötig) bzw. es war auch nicht genügend vorhanden. (Translated by Google) Unfortunately a total letdown; It took 3 hours for everyone to get their food. The service was a disaster; The employees were listless and totally overwhelmed Food orders and drinks had to be written on slips of paper and handed over to the service. Reordering drinks was possible to a limited extent (at least 3 x requests necessary) or there wasn't enough available.

  • 5/5 Björn B. 1 year ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Star level food. Prices absolutely awesome. Authentic friendly and very helpful staff. Personality is reflected in the room design, which is not always consistent, but it is precisely these breaks that make the Arararat restaurant stand out from the rest. You also feel like you're on vacation on the huge terrace. (Original) Essen auf Sterne-Niveau. Preise absolut der Hammer. Authentisch freundliches und sehr hilfsbereites Personal. Persönlichkeit findet sich in der nicht immer konsequente Raumgestaltung wieder, aber gerade diese Brüche heben das Restaurant Arararat von anderen ab. Außerdem fühlt man sich auf der riesigen Terrasse wie im Urlaub.

    (Translated by Google) Since I go to Ararat I always eat the plate of mixed appetizers. An explosion of flavors, accompanied by a full-bodied Armenian wine.

    (Translated by Google) The location is easy to reach! The convenient transport connections made it possible to take a jaunt there quickly, and I usually didn't want to share the dessert with my husband anymore. We have all learned from this and will order a dessert for each person next time. I found the bid particularly appealing. Not only the nice staff was the absolute hit when we visited, but also the good climate. (Original) Die Location ist astrein leicht zu erreichen! Die günstige Verkehrsanbindung macht eine Spritztour dorthin flugs möglich.Ich wollte den Dessert meist gar nicht mehr mit meinem Mann teilen. Wir alle haben nun daraus gelernt und werden nächstes Mal pro Person eine Dessert bestellen.Ich fand das Gebot besonders ansprechend.Nicht nur das nette Personal war bei unserem Besuch der absolute Renner, sondern ebenfalls das gute Klima.

    (Translated by Google) Today was my first time in Ararat and I was thrilled. First we were greeted with "shalom" and then served by a cheerful, relaxed boss. In the background soft classical music accompanied our meal and we were able to enjoy the very tasty food. The particularly delicious feta cheese in the salad was made according to our own recipe, so we were told. Unfortunately I did not fully pack the big plate and asked to pack the rest. At home I was surprised again: I was given 2 extra portions of rice. So, this place is really the best I have ever seen. (Original) Heute war ich zum ersten Mal im Ararat, und ich war begeistert. Zuerst wurden wir mit „ shalom“ begrüßt und danach von einem gut gelaunten entspannten Chef bedient. Im Hintergrund untermalte leise klassische Musik unsere Mahlzeit und wir konnten das sehr schmackhafte Essen genießen. Der besonders leckere Fetakäse im Salat wurde nach hauseigenem Rezept selbst hergestellt, so erklärte man uns. Leider habe ich den großen Teller nicht ganz gepackt und bat darum, mir den Rest einzupacken. Zu Hause wurde ich dann nochmals überrascht : man hatte mir dazu noch 2 extra Portionen Reis mitgegeben. Also, dieses Lokal ist das wirklich allerbeste, das ich je erlebt habe.

    (Translated by Google) Many years ago we were regular customers of the "old" Ararat. Last week we ordered from Ararat for the first time after what felt like an eternity and were absolutely thrilled! Very courteous service and excellent food. The large vegetarian starter platter is particularly recommended. The freshness and variety of salads served with the main courses was also remarkable. (Original) Vor vielen Jahren waren wir Stammkunden beim "alten" Ararat. Letzte Woche haben wir zum ersten Mal nach einer gefühlten Ewigkeit bei Ararat bestellt und waren absolut begeistert! Sehr zuvorkommender Service und hervorragende Speisen. Insbesondere die große vegetarische Vorspeisenplatte ist empfehlenswert. Bemerkenswert war auch die Frische und Vielfalt der Salate, die mit den Hauptgerichten serviert werden.

    I know Cihan Aksoy very well. He is an ultra Turkish nationalist. Ararat Restaurant is founded by a Kurdish owner. Cihan Aksoy shows his hate for Kurdish people by slandering food and kitchen. Please ignore Cihan Aksoy's comment in this page. He is a well-known Turkish fascist. Enjoy your meal at Ararat, one of the best restaurants in Darmstadt.
