Yerevan's Middle Eastern scene splits into two lanes: Persian sit-down restaurants clustered in Kentron—Shirvan and Phoenix both run 4,500 ֏ for rice-and-kebab mains, both halal—and fast-casual falafel or shawarma counters scattered through Republic Square and Cascade. The 12 venues span Yerevan plus one resort in Dilijan. Expect Persian rice dishes with saffron and barberries, Levantine mezze spreads, and grilled meats. Many places cater to Iranian visitors and offer Farsi menus alongside Armenian and English.
