Staff is very friendly, whoever misses their grandmas cooking can get it here. The decor really will bring you back to very early childhood in your post soviet apartment. The only negative thing I could say is that they took away the sour cream with fully finished bortch soup bowl but when I got my sweet cherry Palmeni I had no sour cream anymore with me 😔✊ was so delicious regardless just wish I had that sour cream with me. It’s more funny than negative ig lmao here’s the sour cream next to my veggie borscht <3 you’ll be missed and never forgotten
A great cozy place near the center, delicious food, excellent polite staff, impeccable service (many establishments in Yerevan should take an example, huh)
We were sitting on the summer porch, everything is fine. In the sweltering heat, water is sprayed. A beautiful island of coolness. Cool dishes in the style of the USSR. Delicious cuisine. Filling 🔥
The kitchen is not very good, the food supply is low. Delicious food, I advise you to go to Old Erivan, delicious dolma and khinkali, fine wine, normal price tags, live music and a lovely food service. In general, I was dissatisfied after this pub, borscht is not like borscht, the mood is spoiled for the whole day.
I was severely poisoned here on 11/19/2024. And despite the adequate reaction of the institution, a night in an embrace with a white friend and a few days in bed are not so easy to forget, I still can't eat much.
For food: dumplings with mushrooms and potatoes are good, although I got one with meat. The pancake cake (and I suspect it) is about nothing at all, I can't even remember its taste, it's paper. Although it is clear that they tried, there are many layers, but there is little cream, the cake itself is cold. A mug of ordinary tea for 900 drams amused me. The company's food was brought in a variety of ways, someone was waiting with nothing, but it's probably OK for a small establishment. The company was upset that the mimosa (smaller fish) and the ear (bony) had changed. The service is polite. I see that many people praise the place, but I'm still afraid to come back here.
What has happened in these six months? The kitchen has gone bad. Russian borscht is cooked on stew, even Ukrainian has become so-so, mimosa salad is nothing at all, pancake cake is blandly sweet, there are no complaints about dumplings - it's delicious as before.
I used to like to eat here, I didn't come here for six months, I was very disappointed. Please bring back the normal chefs.
The service is good ♥️
Delicious Russian cuisine, excellent borscht, dumplings, pancake cake, waiters are the most pleasant guys, and tinctures... it is beyond praise, delicious, original, diverse
An authentic establishment. Under the Soviet Union. The borscht was delicious. beer mugs from my youth. It is amazing that they are still preserved. It's expensive, but I had a delicious lunch. but I didn't hit it the first time. All the seats were occupied. I had to come back another day.
It's a great place! We passed by so many times and now, after almost a year in Yerevan, we decided to stop by. It's a pity that we didn't come earlier) Excellent service (if you know - you know), friendly guys. Borscht (Ukrainian and Russian) is amazing. Someone wrote that there is not enough meat and the portion is small - I disagree. Even my husband, who loves to eat quite a lot, ate a portion in full) Dumplings with chicken are also very tasty. Serving herring under a fur coat in a glass is unusual) and the salad itself was also to my liking. Well, tinctures, pepper, sea buckthorn and especially cranberry - like. In general, I highly recommend it. We will definitely come back. PS: the prices are affordable
Delicious cuisine, mimosa salad with trout and caviar is just flying away, delicious dumplings, sandwich, borscht, liqueurs.
The service is excellent, the guys are kind.
There is no extra charge of 10% for the service, which is also very nice.
The interior is also atmospheric
Excellent restaurant of Russian cuisine! The concert of the institution is a shot glass from the USSR. The food is incredibly delicious! Excellent tinctures!
The staff is responsive and pleasant, they will always help and prompt!
We got here on the third day of our stay in Armenia, missed the Russian food 😂 it's cool and unusual, the kitchen is stylized, but there are oddities. The jelly is more like aspic, the capital salad (olivier) is a little dry. Dumplings with rabbit and dumplings with potatoes, as well as herring with potatoes are simply divine. We tried tinctures, participated in contests. Great. I would definitely come in again before I left.
A great place to relax together or in the company of up to 6-8 people. Cool and very diverse tinctures, we drank those with alcohol - everything is fine. I got to the campaign "branded pancakes + a glass of sparkling wine", pancakes with chicken liver - I can't tear myself away, it's a pity that they were only for the campaign, I would have run here to have dinner with them every other day 😂
A joy for the Russian soul, a gastronomic Slavic paradise, an exceptional pleasure.
Have a drink and a snack, another drink, a hearty and inexpensive meal, hangover and eat again - this is here :)
One of the best establishments in Yerevan. A large and interesting menu. I definitely recommend trying borscht and dumplings. There is also a large selection of various settings, anyone can find something to their liking. It is better to book the table in advance. There is also no 10% service fee.
The first thing I liked was very clean and stylish, with a bit of Soviet vibe. Secondly, the food is very tasty! They took jelly, fried potatoes with sausage, vermicelli with schnitzel. All the dishes are cool, everyone is pleased!
The third is pleasant service, the girl and the young man helped with the choice, and the food was brought surprisingly quickly.
According to the tinctures, guys, I will say so - they are too strong for me, the alcohol base is strongly felt. But my husband and I have allocated a "tomatukha" for ourselves, I will recommend it.
The feeling of visiting the place is pleasant, I liked the atmosphere, we will come again)
We went to have lunch, I don't understand why there are such good reviews here. I'll start with vegan borscht - water, no beetroot, no tomato paste, one huge piece of potato floated. A half-centimeter layer of fat floats on top, which I cleaned myself with napkins. Dissatisfied. Serving sour cream in a jar with a narrow throat and a spice spoon is questionable entertainment. Serving herring under a fur coat in a glass belongs to the same category.
Buckwheat is not tasty, chicken schnitzel is not cooked, dumplings are served on top of sour cream (what?). There is no kettle, a cup of packaged tea costs 900 drams.
I added one star for the pleasant, polite staff and the dog. I won't come back.
One of the best cafes in Yerevan! Very tasty food, especially dumplings and dumplings. I live nearby and come here regularly. It is very clean, satisfying, delicious, and the service is fast. The prices are very affordable. I recommend it to everyone!
One of the best places in the city.
The friendly staff helped to set up tables for our large company. Delicious beef, pork, duck dumplings and all kinds of dumplings were served. Home modeling, by the way. Delicious pickles and a huge selection of tinctures. This is only a small part of the menu.
The surroundings are not very clear, but the prices are like in a restaurant. For a small cup of coffee, 1200 drams. And serving hot coffee in a metal cup is something.
Borsch: tinctures, atmosphere and, of course, borsch
Several times we were told about this place, but somehow the legs did not reach. But since today is Wednesday, and it's a little Friday, we decided to stop by and check if it's really as cool as they say. Yeah, cool. Inside, the maximum vibe of St. Petersburg shot glasses (hello, Hippolytus), delicious soft tinctures, good food and a clear interior. It is difficult to compare Borscht with fancy bars, but nevertheless...
Service: 10
We very rarely rate the service at 10. Then the order will not be repeated, then for a long time, then something else goes wrong. It was perfect here. We quickly accepted the order, asked if we should repeat it or trust it, tinctures and beer were brought in 5 minutes, borscht for 10 and fried potatoes with onions for 12-15. They got really excited about the service, they haven't seen this in Yerevan for a long time.
Drinks: 9.5
There are many options for what to drink and drink. But we took tinctures, beer, and, well, Tomatovka was a bonus for borscht. We drank cherries, raspberries, lemoncello and horseradish. Everything is very soft and delicious. Horseradish, however, could be a little more audacious (I like Friendship better). Beer from Dargett – pilsner, cider and pale ale. Borscht and potatoes were taken for food. They say that the dumplings are cool here, but they have already run out 🙁
Interior: 9.5
Very authentic shot glass style. Quite a lot of light, white tile, basement. At the same time, everything is clean and decent. Okay, just fine.
Music: 9
I don't know how they put music here, but our visit was good old Russian rock: Spleen, Zemfira, Mummy Troll and DDT. Perfectly creates an atmosphere and really, as if it takes you for an hour to the center of St. Petersburg. Very good! Maybe there was a little lack of variety.
Toilet: 8
He's the only one here. Although the room is small, but I suspect that there may be a queue for the toilet on weekends. There is a funny pedestal inside, a little carelessly done, but in general it is much better than in those glass rooms where we have been.
Overall rating: 9.3
Prices:
Tinctures — 800 drams
Borscht — 2500 drams
The place smells of Russian St. Petersburg bars, indeed, when you come here you think as if you are not in Yerevan)
The food is not to say that it impressed, it is a purely dining theme, but the dumplings are quite interesting and delicious, I definitely recommend them.
There are also relatively inexpensive shots with tinctures, which is noteworthy - they are also delicious.
So if you want to get atmospheric, I advise you to visit)
Great place! The kitchen seems to have arrived at Grandma's, the tinctures are excellent, the staff is very responsive. Well, the atmosphere is conducive to relax and talk with friends.
The place is atmospheric - the interior is in the style of the USSR.. The portions are small, the tinctures are not tasty, the dishes are metal. It will go once, but no more than that. The food is ordinary, for those who miss Russian cuisine.
Dima krasavcheg, all drinks are made with soul, very tasty food, I really liked the dumplings, good music, pleasant atmosphere and lighting 12 out of 10
Here I tried the best mimosa in my life! Instead of canned fish, the guys put pickled trout. And also caviar!
Everything is super - the food, the service, the interior.
A favorite place for the past year and a half. When you're sad, when you're having fun, when you're lonely, or when you're just hungry :) delicious, satisfying, a little drunk and always very cozy
Excellent Russian cuisine, dumplings are especially delicious. I recommend trying cider . Responsive staff, great atmosphere)

It's a great place! Very small, but the kitchen! A real metropolitan salad, and... dumplings are just a bomb! I recommend it! And what a uniform the guys have! That's the only reason you can walk! Polite, they serve you fast enough! Respect!
Two stars only for mushrooms and herring.
As a catering worker in the past (kunya/hall/backbar), I want to say that there is such a thing as serving a COURSE meal. And if the restaurant was opened by Russians, then you should know that. We ordered 4 borscht, 3 portions of dumplings, snacks, tinctures and beer
Everything was brought in a mess. Someone was eating borscht, someone was eating dumplings, but I waited for my dumplings when the guys finished eating both 1st and 2nd
dumplings
Dumplings with duck in sauce are still fine. We need to work on the sauce so that it does not give off bitterness
But classic dumplings, doused with some kind of watery creamy slush...? It was done, apparently, in order to order sour cream in addition.
borsch
Everyone who was sitting at the table complained about the borscht. Tell the chefs: yes, vinegar retains the color of beetroot so that borscht is pleasantly red, but this does not mean that the taste does not need to be brought up with sugar to kill this terrible sourness. It was impossible to finish it.
TINCTURES:
I don't know how you make it, but either add more raw materials or let them brew normally. We left tinctures in our bar for 3-4 weeks to get rid of the alcoholic taste exactly. And berries / fruits were not spared
Herring and mushrooms are a top. + Soviet cuisine style, iron dishes, faceted glasses
Pleasant music
But the dishes and drinks need to be worked on. To work very hard
I had the opportunity to have dinner here. The company ordered portions of dumplings, tinctures, pickles and beer.
A small portion of dumplings (10 pieces) generously sprinkled with sauce, but not salty. In my case, I had duck dumplings with cranberry sauce. There is not much meat, but it will do. There is a taste of alcohol in the tinctures. I had limoncella, there was bitterness in the taste. The local beer was not particularly liked-the color is pale yellow, unsaturated, tastes more like water, there is no tartness.
I liked the pickles the most-crispy, salty, everything is fine!
The interior is pleasant and clean, there may be a lot of people in the evening, so you should book a place. The musical accompaniment is pleasant and corresponds to the atmosphere of the institution, consists of hits by Russian, Ukrainian and Armenian artists.
Borscht, stolichny, herring, dumplings. Tinctures and tea in a large metal cup. They are located in the basement, an entourage for St. Petersburg bars. Delicious, inexpensive, great playlist
A very intimate place with delicious food. There are few places where you will find such a kitchen. The ratio of quality, portion size and price is excellent.
I recommend visiting it at least once.
