Yerevan Tavern

Yerevan Tavern sits on Admiral Isakov, a short walk from Republic Square, serving Armenian food in a straightforward dining space that pulls in locals and visitors alike. The kitchen does lula (ground meat rolls), khorovatz, and kufta — the kind of grilled meat and slow-cooked dishes that anchor Armenian tables. The 4.6 rating across 459 reviews suggests consistency; people return. At 9500 dram for two, you're in the mid-range for central Yerevan — fair value for portion size and execution. The tavern format means it fills up, especially evenings, with the feel of a neighborhood spot that doesn't pretend to be fancier than it is.

Things to note: Service can slow during peak dinner hours; if you're in a hurry, arrive before 19:00 or call ahead.
