Great place. A social restaurant, we didn't immediately understand why it was called that, but the fact is that they employ people with various disabilities (which is undoubtedly worthy of respect) Very tasty food, fast delivery, nice staff. Everything is super and atmospheric interior. They took: Babylon, lamb with vegetables, lomaggio with meat and cheese, beer, wine, baklava.

Very talented people. There is always something interesting and unusual. And it's really nice to see how the kids are doing there! I always come here when I visit Etchmiadzin. The cuisine here is also good, by the way

A lot of reviews about the atmosphere are true: it is beautiful, interesting for both adults and children. But the food upset us. I can't believe that both my husband and I just missed and ordered exactly what they cook terribly here. Salad = leaves + mayonnaise + dried chips; fresh lemon and mint = water with 3 pieces of lemon and leaves; meat on the bone with grilled vegetables = a fat piece with rags of lard, ordinary, and vegetables are just raw. Disappointment is 100%. It's great that friendly staff with disabilities work in the service staff. Respect to the institution and the staff for this. Anyway, the place is worth visiting and evaluating on your own - and may you have more luck with the menu!

A great restaurant, a beautiful place, interesting events, the shade of trees breaks from the heat. Everything is very tasty. It is beautiful, authentic, and for example, cooking lavash in an ancient tandoor and according to a recipe left by the ancestors is generally a spectacle and a pleasure. I recommend everyone to visit this place!

It's an amazing place! They will not only provide you with delicious food here. Here you will also get an aesthetic pleasure from the place itself. We just ate and enjoyed the view of this place. It also includes a hostel, a theater, a museum, an exhibition space, and much more.

This is the best place in Echmiadzin. The cuisine is excellent, very tasty, the portions are large, inexpensive, the service is almost the best in Armenia. Grigor Machanents has made an incredible art space, this place, in fact, is just a must for everyone who comes to Etchmiadzin)

The place is colorful and atmospheric. We ate hash with the team. Hash is good, the waiters are kind, but there were few of them, they did not have time and everything was done for a very long time ... it was cold in the room. In general, the impressions are not very good

It didn't work out to eat at the restaurant. We were full, so we only drank coffee. But the atmosphere there is impressive. One of the halls is stylized as a Soviet-era apartment. An old square TV, a carpet on the wall, a sideboard, etc. There are people with disabilities among the staff (we were served by a hard-of-hearing waitress). They say there is fish on the menu, cooked using sunlight in a special device. We'll definitely try it next time.

Deaf-mutes work here, keep in mind! We didn't know that, so there were sometimes stupid situations. Four stars — because they brought the wrong order and convinced me that this was what I ordered. Then they changed it. Everything is delicious. Inexpensive, atmospheric. The food is not carried quickly, but the portions are large.

I liked everything very much. A place for aesthetes, gourmets. It is impossible not to immerse yourself in everyday life, such an atmosphere, color, relaxing music. Taking a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. It is also suitable for families with children. There are various master classes for them, from cooking pizza, pita bread to creative activities. In a word, SUPER

It's a very unusual place. There are various unexpected sculptures and installations in the courtyard. There is a desire to visit there again, because you can take a lot of good photos both in the courtyard and in the restaurant itself. And the cuisine in the restaurant is represented by all kinds of delicious national dishes. I definitely recommend going there.

A very interesting and pleasant place. This is not just a restaurant, it is a cultural center where there are clubs for children, you can go to a master class on baking pita bread, and a lot of interesting antique objects and modern art are collected too. Very beautiful cozy courtyards and balconies, a really original, interesting, cozy interior. Everything is thought out to the chalk, to the salt shakers and napkins on the tables. Very tasty food, again unusual, not what is served in every cafe and restaurant, I want to try all the menus. But the portions are large, so it won't work at one time. Excellent service, the staff are friendly, attentive, very hospitable and loving this place. We will be happy to come again, and we wish you prosperity and well-being.

1) The atmosphere is super, gorgeous Armenian vibe - 10/10. 2) The food is very, very average. We took entrecote and trout. The entrecote is dry, the trout is fat and very bony. 5/10 The manager of the restaurant needs to work on the dishes and it will be great. So far, unfortunately, the impression is spoiling

If I could have given 10 stars, I would have given 11 :) Incredibly tasty, very atmospheric and soulful. Besides, we had a great waiter who understood us without words in every sense of the word. It was the first restaurant we visited in Armenia, but after many more restaurants, it remained the best. Thanks! Thanks to you, we fell in love with Armenian cuisine.
