Such an amazing and welcoming place. The food is always fresh and perfect temperature. Really recommend if you love Eastern European cuisine.
I had a great experience at this Armenian bistro! The Chicken Lula Kebab was absolutely amazing, and the Khinkali were just as delicious. The place is neat, clean, and very welcoming. Highly recommend!
“Absolutely amazing experience! The food was authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented — every bite reminded me of true Armenian cuisine. The hospitality was warm and welcoming, making us feel like family. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy delicious food in a cozy and friendly atmosphere!”
An actual gem in Toronto!! Exceptional quality and taste of each dish we ordered made us relish every bite. We ordered chicken kyiv with rice and veggies, chicken lula wrap, khachapuri and beef cheeks with mashed potato and veggies; they were all equally fresh and delicious!! One suggestion I can give would be to try their rice instead of mash— if you like rice— it was sooo yummy!! The mild flavour it had complemented the chicken perfectly.
This is the best food I tried in the long time in Canada, what a discovery. Food is excellent, so fresh and feels like homemade. Our whole family love it. We had a party our big family ordered from them and it was delicious. They have such a nice customer service, friendly and welcoming. We came on Thursday stuff was very nice. We appreciate you guys. And coming back again.
Stopped by here with my friend Simmi earlier tonight to eat after hanging out at the wildcat strike at Pearson airport. We got the pork cheburekki, lamb lula kebab with rice and vegetables, and the dumplings (not the pelmeni, but the other option they had, at our server's recommendation). All of it was delicious and I'd love to return!
