Best food in town. These are his mom’s recipes, and she is sometimes behind the counter, stirring the pot. Bare-bones dining area (it used to be a hotdog stand), but the quality of the food is unsurpassed. Nothing bad on the menu, but I get the chicken plate “Tony Style,” with layers of buckwheat kasha, hummus, and tabbouleh.
We did take out at least once a week during lockdown, and nearly always got it from here. We were not the only ones. There is a small army of regulars, many of whom the owner knows by name.

I'm Armenian & their pilaf is second only to my sacred family recipe. I have NEVER enjoyed/eaten EXCELLENT pilaf ever until we visited. The steak kabobs? PERFECTION! Some of the BEST Baba Ganoush as well. Will be back ASAP!

No pics of the food because i gobbled it down as soon as i got it. Amazing!! The rice was out of this world delicious! I haven't enjoyed a rice dish this much in a long time. So freaking good. The chicken and lula kebab were also pretty delicious. The flavors were on point, and the meat was incredibly juicy!! Definitely going back.

Get the lunch special. It's worth it.

Food was incredible. Large portions for a fair price. Small restaurant, but has attentive staff to clean tables and service.

I dined in with a guest and we left a purse behind. After noticing, we called the restaurant and they held it for us. Thank you again!

We came here for dinner, and the food was great! We ordered 3 plates and baklava, and everything was tasty. For the 3 plates, we ordered a steak kabob plate with Armenian rice pilaf, cabbage salad, and baba ghanouj; a lula kabob plate with mushroom pilaf, cabbage salad, and baba ghanouj; and a lula, steak, and chicken kabob combo plate with mushroom pilaf, cabbage salad, and hummus. In particular, we thought the Armenian rice pilaf was excellent, and the kabobs were all freshly grilled and flavorful. The baklava was also very good. Definitely a great spot for reasonably priced Armenian food!

I have been coming here for at least 7 years. The quality never lets me down. It’s always soo fresh. The prices are great too. We love the lula (beef)! It’s so tender and juicy. Pictured is the lula wrap and plate. With 1 drink total was $23. Can’t beat it!
