Khorovats (Armenian BBQ) in Arabkir, Yerevan
A residential district with straightforward grilled meat — charcoal smoke and table bread
Arabkir is a sprawling residential district northeast of the center, quieter than Kentron but still dotted with neighborhood eateries. For khorovats, you'll find one dedicated spot: Shampur on Hakob Hakobyan Street, a local grill house where pork neck and chicken arrive on metal skewers with grilled tomato and lavash. Expect 4,000 dram and up per portion, outdoor seating in warm months, and a straightforward menu focused on charcoal. The district doesn't cluster BBQ the way Northern Avenue or Cascade do, so this is your anchor if you're staying nearby or visiting the Yerevan Zoo.
