Khanjyan 8/1

Khanjyan 8/1 sits on one of Yerevan's quieter residential streets, serving straightforward Armenian cuisine to locals and those willing to venture off the main drag. The neighbourhood feel—no frills, no English menu, no Instagram angle—suggests a place eating its own cooking. Expect classic mezze, grilled meat, lavash-based dishes, and seasonal vegetables done without fuss. At around 8000 AMD per head, it's reasonably priced for the portion sizes. Ambiance is casual and unhurried; this suits people who value authenticity over atmosphere, and who don't mind discovering things by pointing or asking the kitchen. Weekday lunches likely move faster than weekend evenings.

Things to note: No online menu or reservation system; limited English expected. Zero reviews suggests either very new or long-standing local secret—either way, ask locals for current house specials.
