Another restaurant where you will need to make a reservation beforehand is Dolmama- the most famous Armenian restaurant in Yerevan, which hosted a big number of public figures up to presidents and ambassadors.

Another Middle Eastern oasis is located on Nalbandyan street serving the most delicious falafel wraps and fattush salad in Armenian capital. Due to the fast service, affordable prices and tasty food this restaurant is beloved not only by travelers, but by locals, too. Once you are there, make sure to try their hummus and moutabal plates, too.
When introducing Middle Eastern cuisine in Armenia, it would, definitely, be a crime not to suggest Zatar Pizza. Being one of the most beloved spots for locals, it will amaze visitors,too, with its variety of zatar bread options. You can also have pizzas and salads there, but what is, undoubtedly a must-try is the “zatar special” with strained or “qamats” matzoon, black olives and tomatoes. Many locals will assure you that it will not disappoint you.
No matter which restaurant your gastronomic preferences will lead you to, make sure to get there easily with comfortable transportation. Travel to Armenia and enjoy the fantastic food that will make your tour more interesting.
