Hidden Gem Alert: Bumped into an authentic Armenian Bistro in Mar Mikhael and I honestly loved every single detail. I loved how natural, simple, cozy, and friendly the whole environment was. It literally felt like home, you just feel the passion and effort spent on every detail. One thing I also noticed is that the owner was there, and he was literally observing and making sure that every single customer is satisfied. To be honest this was something that you don't find elsewhere. As for the food, we tried the Sujok, the basterma rolls, and the Manti all of which I highly recommend. For the prices we also had wine; we paid around 900,000 for 3 people which I believe is a very fair price!

Lovely Armenian restaurant. The food was delicious. The service was great, the restaurant staff spoke English as well as Armenian and Arabic, I would assume French as well. This restaurant has a lovely atmosphere, I will definitely eat here again. They had a beautiful outdoor patio which on a Friday or Saturday night might require reservations and beautiful Armenian art hanging inside. The music was just perfect for dinner. They also have their own Seza wine!

Lovely little restaurant offering a fusion between lebanese and armenian cuisines. Owner and personnel are very friendly and food is tasty. I have found that the hummus and tabouleh are a bit contraversial as they had a lot of spices in them, but the rest was delicious. Highly recommended!

Overpriced and not feeling well after dinner! Meze was OK, nothing more. In my food there was way to much salt and it did not taste at all - we did not finish our food, that never happens and foremost not for THAT prices! Also the service was really bad and unfriendly. We had high hopes because of the nice ambiente, but after the dinner I am even feeling sick now. Disappointing!

This place is really cute. The staff are friendly and speak good English. Food comes in big portion. Complimentary desserts are sweet. Don’t remember the name of the roast beef, but would 120% recommend it. Flavorful but not heavy at all.

This place is unbelievable one of the best restaurants in Lebanon. It’s small but the ambience of the restaurant is fantastic. Armenian family work in the restaurant and I know one of them his name Manuel. Come to the restaurant in the night and you see what I mean.

Very nice variation from Lebanese cuisine. Armenian specialties. Nice service. Modern paintings give color to the room. Terrasse very cosy. Not too far from the 'Emigrant statue'.

Their restaurant is looking very nice from the outside but it is unfortunately the worst food I've ever eaten in whole Beirut. I returned my food to the kitchen as it was absolutely uneatable (and I am really not picky at all!). Although I spoke to the waiter I did not get any replacement in return at all. I even had to pay for my dish, even though I didn't eat it! The waiters did not make any effort to find a solution for the problem. I really can not recommend this place at all.

Cute little place, hidden in Mar Mikhael neighborhood. Staff is friendly, food was good, with normal prices. The dessert was on the house and it is a nice gesture of them.

Such a charming place! It was my first time trying Armenian food, so I will have to try more before I comment on the food. But it was nourishing and soothing to my stomach! A bit on the pricey side, but I enjoyed my experience! I love the building/set up. I say it's a good place to bring friends and to try something new!

Always nice to come here. Have been here so many times in the past 6 months. Love it!!!

What a great little place! Food was lovely, decor really nice and good service too. Loved it.

Authentic Armenian restaurant. Lovely warm homy vibes. The food was outstanding.

Beautiful, cozy hole in the wall Armenian restaurant. Our hotel is just around the corner and we wanted a quick dinner before we ended the night. We ordered some mezze and two mains and all the dishes were fresh, made with high quality ingredients. I would recommend the Armenian salad which is really similar to a Mexican salsa! It was tomato based with a nice spicy kick. The chicken liver and moutabbal were also noteworthy. The manti however wasn’t great, it was lacking in flavor and arrived cold. Overall, I would recommended the restaurant for the atmosphere and service, not as much for all the dishes.

Cozy place. Good food. Mante could be better.

Smart service and nice atmosphere. Ask your waiter what's worth ordering your first time in. He/she won't street you wrong.

We were staying at an Airbnb nearby and randomly parked in front of the restaurant so we decided to have a quick diner there, great decision. The place is extremely welcoming, the service is perfect and the waiter was super nice, food came very fast and was as tasty as it gets! Would recommend anytime!

The staff were very friendly and they naturally provide you with the Armenian-like hosting. Food is traditional Armenian and delicious!! Highly recommended 👌

Very nice place with nice atmosphere and delicious food ,the staff very friendly we had great experience there

Nice Armenian restaurant in Mar Mikhael. Not my favourite Armenian meal but a cosy restaurant The mantis and the itch was tasty. The atmosphere is cute and intimate. Service is friendly. I personally prefer the Armenian restaurants in Bourj Hammoud, however Seza is a good alternative. Please add the Basterma and egg quail dish to the menu! :)

One of the best places I had dinner at in beirut. And run by a beautiful family. Lovely food, lighting and music.

Nice ambience. Food not bad but is not mind blowing either

Charming little restaurant, super delicious food and great service. Place to go!

Pros: Very cozy ambience and lighting (try the outdoors in winter 👌🏻) Food is very tasteful, we ordered the nakanek, spring rolls, kebba nayyeh (amazing!) and the manti. Staff is very polite and friendly. The owner was attendant and passed by each table every now and then to ensure satisfaction (with a friendly smile). Cons: Only a little overpriced for the quantity, but you get the quality you desire!

One of Lebanon's best restaurants, its understated presence, elegant charm and exquisite food makes it the sorry of place that would be perfect for a date.

Great place, very cosi, generous and tasty food
