Alga Restaurant

Alga sits in Nor Nork, a neighborhood where locals eat without fuss. The menu runs through Armenian standards—lula kebab, kufta, grilled meats—cooked straightforward, no show. The 4.5-star rating across 60 reviews suggests steady, reliable work rather than flash. At 6500 dram for two, you're in mid-range territory, comfortable for families and regulars who know what they want. The space draws Nor Nork people: workers, neighbors, people who've been coming for years. No pretense, no tourist markup. Just food that works.

Things to note: Nor Nork location means it fills with locals during rush hours; English is unlikely, so know basic Armenian food names or point at neighbors' plates.
