Lavash Restaurant

Lavash Restaurant sits on Tumanyan Street in Kentron, with a veranda and an upstairs floor that both look out over the street. It's the kind of place people choose for a family celebration or an evening with friends, not a quick bite. The menu, ordered through a tablet at the table, runs from breakfast (8:30-12:00) — fried eggs with herbs and cheese, with basturma, or with strained matsun and honey — through appetizers like the signature meat assortment, fish assortment, and kavurma, to salads such as broccoli with mushrooms or burrata with caramelized fruit. Soups include nrane and an avelukh soup. Hot dishes lean toward slow-cooked meat: veal shoulder with spelt pilaf, lamb shoulder (whole or sliced by the kilo), and karaunj, alongside fish options like steamed trout and salmon steak with roquefort sauce. Shashlik covers pork cuts, beef fillet, and Angus ribs. Vegetarian eaters can build a meal from the salads, soups, spelt pilaf with mushrooms, and sides like sautéed green beans or rice. Desserts include a record-holding Gata, Gavar-style pakhlava, halva, sharots, and a Basque chocolate cake. The drink list is long: signature cocktails (Lavash, Eclipse, Trinity), Armenian wines from Tariri and Voskeni, aged Ararat brandy, and a whiskey selection running up to Macallan 18. Average check is around 9,500 AMD. It suits groups and families more than solo diners looking for speed, since ordering is entirely through the digital menu.

Things to note: Menu is digital, ordered via tablet at the table.
