I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Basturma made with real commitment to madzoon yoghurt and technique. The subtly tangy result was more complex and satisfying than anything I'd had before.

the Armenian genocide shaped diaspora communities who carried the cuisine globally. The a Yerevan restaurant was exactly right for this kind of eating. Armenian cognac was offered as the natural choice and it elevated everything. When a dish you thought you knew surprises you completely, that's worth celebrating. Five stars without hesitation.
