Wok & Roll

Wok & Roll sits on Sayat-Nova in central Yerevan, a busy strip where locals grab lunch between errands. Despite the name, it's Armenian food—lula kebab, kufta, grilled meats. The kitchen does straightforward versions of these dishes without pretense; you're eating what construction workers and office staff order. The 4500 dram check for two puts it in the casual weekday range, not fancy. Seventeen reviews at 4.2 stars suggest reliable, middle-of-the-road execution. Tables fill up around noon and after work, so expect some noise. It's the kind of place you return to because it's nearby and doesn't disappoint, not because it surprises.

Things to note: Noise level picks up during peak hours; English is limited, so know dish names or point at the grill. Cash and card both accepted, but confirm when you arrive.
