Khorovats (Armenian BBQ) in Malatia-Sebastia, Yerevan
Residential grillhouses where locals order by the kilo and the mangal runs all afternoon
Malatia-Sebastia holds four neighborhood khorovats spots, all clustered within walking distance along Sebastia and Bagratuniats. Expect tonratuns (grill ovens built into storefronts), 3,000–4,000 dram per skewer, and zero English menus. Most open midday and run until the coals die down. Pork ribs, chicken wings, and khorovats wrapped in tonir lavash are the baseline; a few places grill quail or lamb liver on request. The vibe is residential: families pick up Friday-night orders, construction crews eat standing at counters.
