Grill
Grill is a neighbourhood barbecue spot focused on horovats—skewered and grilled meats that form the backbone of Armenian eating culture.
Khorovats is Armenia's open-fire grilling tradition, centered on cubed pork shoulder and lamb kebabs cooked over vine wood or charcoal. Unlike kebab cultures in neighboring countries, khorovats runs sweet and smoky rather than spiced, often finished with a sprinkle of sumac and served with lavash, grilled tomatoes, and pickled cabbage. Yerevan has 30 dedicated venues, split between casual neighborhood grills (4,000 dram average) and upscale mangalnyy spots (7,500 dram). Saryana and Kentron concentrate the higher-end addresses, while Malatia and Davtashen host walk-in BBQ joints where locals order by the kilo.
