Zara Restaurant

Zara sits on Sebastia Street in the bustling Malatia bazaar district, where it's become a go-to for serious Indian food. The kitchen handles curries, tandoori chicken, and biryanis with real technique—not the dumbed-down tourist version. You'll find a mix of locals who work the market, expat families, and people willing to trek from other districts because the spice balance and sourcing are genuinely good. At 6500 drams for two, it's mid-range for Yerevan but proper value given portion size and ingredient quality. The 4.9 rating across 272 reviews suggests consistent execution, which matters more than flash in a neighborhood restaurant.

Things to note: It's in a high-traffic bazaar area, so noise level can spike during peak hours. Call ahead if you're bringing a larger group.
