    Wow!!! It’s my first time dining here and I’ll definitely be back. We came as a huge group and ordered a bunch of appetizers and entrees to share. The food here was delicious and flavorful. They have a lot of middle eastern dishes to choose from and you can’t go wrong with whatever you select! I highly recommend the hummus, babaganoush, fetoush salad, combo platter and French fries. A great restaurant near Paterson!

    The food is absolutely delicious, specially the appetizers. I can just order those and forget about the kebabs and such. The lule kebab was the best. Don't forget to order the garlic paste for the chicken though.

    The most delicious and authentic Armenian/ Middle Eastern food. I suggest going on empty stomach so you don’t have to limit yourself there 😜. They do not serve liquor but you are welcome to bring your own. Conveniently, there is a liquor store across the street. I cannot speak enough of how delicious the food is here, so please go and check it out yourself!

    Great Armenian restaurant, among the very few if any you'll find in the area. I tried the Manti (beef stuffed in dough) with yogurt on the side. Chicken thighs grilled and cooked to perfection. Served with beans and fries on the side. The fries were okay, and the beans while they're not my favorite side dish, they were okay too. I also had a yogurt drink (Ayran), pretty authentic middle Eastern drink and refreshing too. Plenty of parking space too. I definitely recommend this place if you like Middle Eastern or Armenian food.

    Armenian food made with love! The location is clean and has armenian art displayed. The staff is friendly and brought us complimentary hummus and pita bread. We had the grilled salmon with camaralized onions and leeks and the filet mignon kebab platter

    Really enjoyed this authentic Armenian restaurant! Some very traditional kabobs and dessert just like my grandmother used to make us.

    This meal was the definition of eating a traditional Armenian home cooked meal! Ate dinner here today and absolutely enjoyed the atmosphere. The food was cooked excellently and you could tell how fresh it was. The appetizers were tasty and I recommend getting at least 2 plates. You will be full but it will be worth it! The waitresses were great! 5/5

  • 5/5 Darren Santo T. 10 months ago on Google
    Absolutely delicious! For appetizers, we had some middle-eastern delicacis: Fried Halloumi, arayes, and some hummus with pita. All of these apps were delicious! The halloumi was squeaky and salty. The arayes reminded me of a Mediterranean quesadilla (minus the cheese), and hummus any time is a good time. I had gone with a group (about 7+), and ordered the lambchops ($25). It came with four pieces, some vegetable, and the option of either rice, lentils, or fries. As you can see in the photo, I had opted for the french-fry option. I did get a chance to try the lentils from a friend, and have to say, the lentils, too, were delicious! They had a yummy, caramalized onion, deep flavor. I asked the server in what preparation the lamb would taste best, and she said "medium-well". It was indeed, the best way to have eaten it. After, we had a small cake we brought, and the servers were nice enough to sing Happy Birthday. We finished the evening ordering some hot teas and coffees, which were absolutely amazing. The coffee is a deep, not bitter, and very espresso-like. The residue remains at the bottom of the cup. 5/5

    We went for a mid week lunch. My sister is half Armenian and has been looking for a restaurant that really has the foods of his childhood. This is a family owned place. The food was so good! subtle flavors that were not overpowering. We had several appetizers and our meals for a VERY reasonable price. Even though it is more than 1 hour away, this will be the Birthday tradition for my sister. Seated next to us was a man and his 94 year old Armenian mother who , he says, won't eat out any where else.

    The food here was delicious and the atmosphere very uplifting. It’s a great family place with both indoor and outdoor dining available. The shepherd salad and meze sampler were both delicious. Entrees of the combo platter and gyro were both seasoned perfectly and the meats were incredibly juicy. I would absolutely come back. Excellent Armenian food! Service excellent.

  • 4/5 Sivhana N. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was awesome. Try the mixed platter, dolmedes, tabuleh, all of them are perfect,and the falafel is the best. I couldn't give a 5 because they only have one waitress so the service may need some improvement.

  • 5/5 Farhanna B S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place for homemade Middle Eastern food. A fusion of Armenian and Lebanese cuisine. Great service from a true “mom and pop” restaurant! Must have the hummus, manti soup and chicken shawarma platter!

    Looks like we're in the dining area of a house, very cute. There's even an enclosed outdoor area. But it was too hot to sit outside ;) There was a large party taking up half the space. Luckily we made reservations. They were pretty boisterous. Service was excellent. Susan was very helpful as we've never had Armenian food. Bedros (not sure of the spelling) was on point clearing plates and getting extra plates, utensils etc. Considering such a large party they still came to check on us regularly. :) When we sat down they brought us basket of pitas and a plate of 🫒, 🧀, pickled cabbage and pickled banana pepper. This was so good, much better than just boring bread and butter! I don't know what kind of cheese it was but I really liked it. I don't usually like unknown 🧀 but hubby will eat any kind of 🧀 LoL We ordered: Armenian 🍵 - this was really good! We each had 2 cups :D Kibbehs - nice and crispy on the outside and meaty on the inside, wasn't too doughy like other places Sujuk - Armenian Sausage - delicious! The stew like tomato on top gave the sausage a nice juiciness, might have felt dry without it, nicely complements the sausage Yalanji - Grape Leaves - one of the best I've had! Had to get an extra order to take home :D Okra with Mujadara - was only on the lunch menu but as our friend is vegetarian, they made an exception for him and he enjoyed the Okra and Lentil Rice Rack of Lamb - hubby loved the lamb, I'm not a lamb fan but it was flavorful. And hubby loved the Lentil Rice Grilled Salmon - I've had over cooked salmon in some very upscale restaurants so was surprised this was perfectly cooked over a bed of spinach which itself was very good. I didn't like the Lentil Rice to me it was too sweet, and clashed with my salmon, hubby was happy to take it off my plate LOL Definitely worth a try. It's similar to other middle eastern cuisine but there's just enough of a difference to warrant a try. :)

  • 5/5 Silva M. 2 years ago on Google
    Anahid was amazing. She came through and helped prepare a fabulous dinner when we had the 40 day remembrance for our 31 year old niece who died in an accident. I will never forget that, knowing she had another group to prepare dinner for that day. Thank you Anahid and God Bless you 🙏 ❤.

    the best i ever had. really enjoyed everything i ordered. so fresh and tasty highly recommend this place! im so happy bc i have the left overs from the salad and dips and i got extra pita bread for lunch at work 😀

    This place was recommended and honestly I wasn't satisfied. The Salad was to stay and was over powered with parsley. The meat was good. Besides that it's okay try it.
