Chichkhan or sea buckthorn is the best cafe in Gyumri. Excellent national cuisine, homemade food, prepared with love according to family, traditional recipes. The drinks are very tasty, especially we liked the homemade pomegranate and sea buckthorn wine, which we were treated to by the friendly host of the establishment. He advised me what to order. The dishes are just a palette of flavors! The atmosphere is very warm and friendly.We went twice, and we liked everything!
A wonderful cafe in the historical center of the city. All the dishes that we managed to try were very tasty and fresh. Personal favorites: kebab, hash and homemade wine.
Separately, I would like to express my gratitude to the owners of the establishment, Armen and Kristina, for their hospitality and kindness.
We wish you prosperity and more customers! Snorkel :)
The best cafe with national home cooking in the region! Achma, lamajo, kebab in dough and whitefish from Sevan itself! And what a hash they make!!! We came for three days in a row while we were in Gyumri, and every time we tried something new and incredibly delicious! Do not give up the pomegranate wine and vodka on the mulberry tree! Some dishes and drinks are prepared according to branded secret recipes! A warm welcome, pleasant atmosphere, and friendliness are what you need for a pleasant appetite! Have you ever tried spinach cake, sweet spinach cake? Very unusual and delicious!
Guys, this is the best place in town! You will not eat such an achma anywhere else in Armenia! A pleasant family cafe where you will be met, deliciously fed and will tell you something interesting! The barbecue is cooked by the owner of the establishment - very tasty! Wine, sea buckthorn compote and whatever you order, bite off your fingers! I recommend it from the bottom of my heart!
The place is simple in its interior, but the food and atmosphere are excellent. We took a kebab in dough, potatoes and lamajo. Everything was on top. I will especially mention homemade wines: pomegranate and sea buckthorn.
The only thing is a long wait for the dishes (set the time if you come for one day). We waited 40-50 minutes, but the drinks were brought right away
The Achma here is wonderful, but we mostly drank here. There is sea buckthorn wine with honey for lovers of sweet drinks. And there's a great pomegranate dry.
Both types of wine are made well - we had to buy them with us, we don't know what they pour there in Yerevan yet.)
The most spiritual place in Gyumri! Everything is done with love, as if you came to visit close relatives. Very tasty homemade food, a warm welcome and just incredible hosts! Armen and Christie, thank you so much! I will come back again and again ❤
My friends and I have been to this cafe several times. We don't recommend it, we just insist that everyone get here! Everything here is delicious from the word ENDLESSLY!
This is the best place in Gyumri. That Sooooo rare case when everything is fine: the atmosphere, comfort, amazingly delicious food and wine.
Armen and Kristina, thank you for the warmth of communication and hospitality! Thank you very much for the wonderful evenings! Good luck to you, success, SMILES from visitors and more guests and tourists
It was the last evening of our first trip to Armenia. We arrived in Gyumri, looked for a place to have dinner, opened reviews on Yandex and came to Chichkhan.
Everything they say in the reviews is true! Armen and Kristina don't just know how to cook, they share their warmth. Beautiful and good people have the same food (many have already written about pomegranate and sea buckthorn wine here).
We stayed up late in the evening, and in the morning we came for fresh gata.
We will definitely come back and bring friends!
We are ready to recommend this place to everyone.
Definitely the best family restaurant in Gyumri, with hospitable, friendly hosts!Incredibly delicious, homemade cuisine!
The whole family got hooked on their delicious dishes, branded achma...Adjara khachapuri...khorovadz... and exclusive sea buckthorn wine!
The prices are also delicious, like portions;)
A very cozy place with a wonderful host. It is very inexpensive, especially for an institution located almost in the center. The menu is small, but everything is very tasty.
A great family cafe, everything is very tasty, I especially liked achma and their signature kebab, pomegranate and sea buckthorn wine, there are no words at all! If we are in those parts, we will definitely come back!
Special thanks to the owners of the establishment for the warm welcome, pleasant atmosphere and delicious cuisine. Special attention should be paid to "achma", sea buckthorn wine, and the highlight of the institution is "chinchilla kebab". A unique institution in the center of Gyumri, will surprise you with its color and energy!
Come here, eat, drink, relax. The place is held by the spouses Armen and Kristina. Warm-hearted and hospitable people.
I have the best memories of Gyumri and Armenia thanks to them.
A great place with delicious food, a pleasant atmosphere and good service.
I recommend trying homemade sea buckthorn wine, it is very tasty and unusual. Sea buckthorn vodka is also super, about 50 degrees, but you won't feel them.
Lamajo is excellent, as is the kebab with cheese in the dough.
The most important advantage of this place, besides the delicious food, is its owner. An extremely well-mannered, educated and friendly person. If you are in Gyumri, I definitely recommend visiting him! 🙌🏼
Nice place, cool, really involved host. For God's sake, remove the cucumbers from the Caesar, it greatly spoils the taste of the salad! And make a richer dressing.
Khachapuri is very tasty, as well as excellent achma.
an incredibly atmospheric and pleasant place. the prices are affordable, while the quality of the food is excellent. ajapsandal, lentil soup, stuffed vegetables, khachapuri - just perfectly cooked dishes, thanks to the chefs!
most of all, we are delighted with the hospitable hosts of the institution, who had a pleasant time with us)
Thanks to the people of Armenia, this beautiful country and separately to Armen and Kristina for the place that I want to return to again and again.
I highly recommend it. They cook delicious food. And right after the order, so you'll have to wait. But this is a guarantee of freshness! They serve you very sincerely. And it was just nice to chat. I definitely recommend lamajo and branded cheese baked in dough! The prices, by the way, are also pleasant. The place really deserves my recommendation.
Very tasty achma and lamajo. Beer is served in chilled glasses. Good sea buckthorn tea. The atmosphere is super cozy. Good prices. Where will I eat so delicious in St. Petersburg?
It's just unrealistically delicious and very soulful! The prices are very pleasant, 4000 drams for two) We took lamajo, khachapuri in Ajarian with basturma and achma
I recommend everything!! Very tasty 🫶🏼
A very soulful cafe. We ate there with a group of 30 people. The hosts organized everything at the highest level, very friendly.
It is very tasty, homemade, it is clear that everything is cooked from high-quality products and with love. We thank Armen and Kristina for such a wonderful and delicious place!
Wonderful cuisine, everything was very tasty! Sea buckthorn juice and wine are super👍🏼
Special thanks for the hospitality to the owner of the institution Armen
We tried achma, chicken and branded kebab, vegetables and tea. The kebab is very tasty, as are the vegetables. Achma is also interesting, it looks like lasagna. Delicious and not expensive at all👍👍
A good cafe where you can eat relatively inexpensively and deliciously in Gyumri. You can pay with a card, the portions are very large and hearty, cheese tortillas of different types. We tried achma, we didn't regret it. The impressions were very good: the owner of the cafe met us and treated us to homemade sea buckthorn wine from a huge bottle - this is the feature of this institution.
It's a very cool place. Delicious and inexpensive. Lula kebab, you'll lick your fingers😀I recommend it to everyone.It's not much to move away from the central square and now it's already there. Thank you for the warm welcome.
The food is great!!! The owners of the establishment, Kristina and Armen, are wonderful, responsive people with a capital letter.
Sea buckthorn wine.... This is something new, unique swill, never tried it. I advise everyone
Insanely delicious and unusual homemade wine on sea buckthorn. For lovers of brighter impressions — sea buckthorn vodka. Wonderful branded achma and kebabs in the dough. One hundred points out of five!
Delicious home cooking, pleasant hosts and atmosphere. Pita bread is cooked in dough, I highly recommend it. A very delicious Napoleon cake, ordered for his birthday.
The most favorite cafe in Gyumri. I highly recommend trying achma, lamajo, hash. You can immediately try kyalla by pre-booking. There are also dishes not from the menu, it is necessary to clarify, for example, Arissa.
a good family cafe. Delicious inexpensive dishes, I especially liked Achma - a layer cake with several types of cheese. The main feature of the establishment is sea buckthorn drinks (juice, wine, vodka) and they are very tasty!
