    Tucked in Ontario St. near Michigan Ave. is a jewel of a restaurant, serving authentic Armenian cuisine. Everything we had was delicious, but the best are the lamb dishes and yes, the beer & cognac!

    This Armenian restaurant is flavorful and affordable in an area that's expensive and consistently packed. Try the flavorful and mezze sampler of hummus, spinach, and stuffed grape leaves.

    Paklava was a nice way to end a meal. The dish usually comes with three pieces, but since there were four of us, they offered to give us an extra piece. Very considerate.

    Love it here! The hommus is so silky and delicious! The vegetarian combo is so much delicious food for a great price! A true gem among all the other terrible chains in the area

    Feels very authentic. Like a good home cooked Armenian meal. The Hummus is smooth and the Combo platter tasty.

    The best hummus I've ever had, served with warm pita. This place is a staple, been here many years.

    If you are Kosovar or Bosnian, you will love this place. If you're not, you will still love this place, but especially if you're Kosovar or Bosnian.

    Haven't had anything I didn't like: kabobs very succulent, kibbee spiced just right, knafi custardy but not too sweet

    On the Mag Mile, amidst a sea of corporate restaurants, this place is a welcome gem! Lovely Armenian food.

    My friends and I all swear by the #8. We've been there enough that they pretty much know it's our order. It's clean your plate good. The humus is also delicious.

    Hummus is awesome. Yalanchi (vegetarian) Sarma was very disappointing. I think there were almond slivers in them? Not pleasant nor traditional- and not as described in menu. :-(

    The food was good, but service was slow. We waited 15 mins before our waiter came up to us and asked if we liked to order any drinks.
