Kusht (Georgian & Armenian Kitchen)

Kusht sits near State Park on Garni Road in the Nor Nork area, running a menu that splits between Georgian and Armenian cooking. Breakfast covers omelettes (1000-1800֏) and syrniki (1800֏). Lunch sets include khinkali, souvlaki, and pasta with pesto, all around 2200-2600֏. The khinkali section lists classic and cheese versions, boiled or fried, each 400-450֏. Hot dishes bring ojakhuri, ostri, and chkmeruli (2950-3100֏), plus the Armenian panrkhash and tatar-boraki. Dough dishes range from imeruli and megruli khachapuri to lobiani and lahmajo pide (1550-2700֏). Arishta pasta dishes span arabbiata to bolognese (1900-3000֏), and soups include kharcho, chkhrtma, and lobio soup (1100-2200֏). Appetizers lean Armenian: cheese lori or chanakh, rezhan, strained matsun, and pkhali (1100-2300֏). Desserts are built around homemade gata, plain or with dried fruits (800-3500֏). To drink, there are house lemonades in mixed berries, sea buckthorn, and tropical mix, a short wine list (Koor red, Tus white, Zoè brut), gin, rum, and coffee or tea including black coffee on sand. Average check runs about 5500 AMD, and the restaurant holds a 5-star rating from 56 reviews. The spread suits groups wanting to split khinkali and khachapuri, or single diners picking a lunch set, with both Georgian staples and Armenian dairy-and-herb dishes on the same table.
