Mayrig Yerevan

Mayrig sits on Amiryan in central Yerevan, a straightforward Armenian restaurant that pulls in locals and visitors alike. The kitchen does lula kebab, kufta, and traditional stews — dishes you'd find in a home kitchen, executed consistently. The dining room has a casual neighborhood feel, no pretense. At 6500 dram for two, you're in solid mid-range territory for the center. With 608 Google reviews and a 4.3 rating, the place has real traffic and repeat customers. It's the kind of spot where you show up hungry and leave satisfied, without ceremony.

Things to note: Can get loud during peak hours. English is limited — have Armenian phrases ready or show photos on your phone.
