Art Lunch

Art Lunch is a buffet-style Armenian spot on Nalbandyan in central Yerevan, where locals come for straightforward homestyle cooking without ceremony. You pick from trays of kufta, lula kebab, lahmajun, and seasonal vegetable dishes—the kind of food you'd get at a family table. The room fills up around lunch with office workers and retirees; it's cafeteria-style but genuinely fed and honest. At 9500 dram for two you're eating well in the Kentron without pretense. The 4.5 rating on solid review count tells you the kitchen holds its line. Come hungry and early if you want first pick of the trays.

Things to note: Buffet service means limited seating during peak lunch hours; if you're coming at 13:00 on a weekday, expect a short wait or tight elbows.
