We visited Diamond a few years ago, the service was perfect, the food was delicious, the price was adequate, taking into account the location of the restaurant, and now we were going to enjoy dinner again, but... it didn't work out.
A battered menu from which sheets fall out. The elevator is designed for two people, we went up with the children separately. This is the first time we've encountered something like this!
The bathroom is a whole quest to get there! The restaurant is on the 5th floor, you need to walk down 2 floors, or take the elevator to 4 and walk another floor down, and most importantly, do not get confused! When you get there, you will be pleased that there is no hot water in the faucet.
Everything is very strange)))
Next, a good pizza, and 2000 drams for a glass of juice, they took 2 liters and 10 glasses were broken for a total of 20,000 drams, and 15% of the service fee for 2 carafes of juice was included))) And considering that the service is included in the bill, they won't bring you the change anyway.
We definitely do not recommend this establishment, because a typical restaurant in the center of Yerevan should have a higher level of cuisine and service. This is not a restaurant.
And also, looking at some of the five-star rave reviews left in March, with summer photos, questions arise about their reality.👌
The Diamond restaurant in Yerevan disappointed, despite the promising view of Republic Square. Yes, the landscape is really beautiful, but, unfortunately, this is the only advantage of the establishment.
The service leaves much to be desired: the waiters have to wait a long time, and even simple requests are fulfilled with noticeable delay. The inclusion of 15% for service in the receipt is surprising — for such a quality of service, this is completely unjustified.
As for the cuisine, the dishes turned out to be average: not bad, but also nothing outstanding, especially for such a price.
Overall, this place did not meet expectations. You shouldn't come here just for the sake of the view. Evaluation: 2 out of 5
The first restaurant we visited in Armenia as soon as we arrived. Yes, I won't say he's the best. But the views from the terrace are simply mesmerizing. The food didn't seem perfect (not the way we like it), but here we need to understand the flavor and not having an understanding of what it should be, I don't undertake to evaluate it strictly. We visited in 2018 and the price surprised us then. Fruit, meat, and wine for three cost us 1.800rubles. Now in 2025, prices there are sooooo high.
Tolma, tyvzhik with homemade dry white wine in the heat with a gorgeous view went with a bang
It is a shame that such a poor institution is located in the very center of Yerevan… The old terrible interior. A torn menu with stripped pages, very high prices for dishes, I wouldn't even eat there for free ... It is such places that spoil the impressions of city guests who expect good Armenian quality from the restaurant located in the very center on Republic Square. In general, shame on everyone involved in this institution…
You definitely shouldn't go here. The view of the square does not compensate for either the level of service or the taste of the dishes. There is no atmosphere, the staff is very unhappy and does not even try to disguise it. When paying with a card, the waiter made a face as if I had robbed him.
The dishes are very, very average. The price tag is prohibitively high for such a low level of cuisine and service. A 15% tip is also included in the bill. Although you don't want to pay for such a service at all.
A beautiful place with a view of the central square, fountains, etc. Probably these are all the advantages of this eatery.
Regarding the food: Desserts are bland and not particularly tasty. It feels like people don't know what coffee is and what it should be. Instead of espresso, they brought just a little water with cake. This place is definitely not suitable for coffee lovers.
Regarding prices: get ready to see prices at the Austrian level. Everything is really expensive and is justified only by the interior and the presence of a large number of floors and beautiful locations.
Regarding maintenance: maintenance per unit. Do not put it below because hello, they said and the menu was brought. It's a shame that this cafeteria doesn't know how to serve coffee. Dear friends, espresso is served with water.
I was also very disappointed by one situation at another table. The lack of awareness regarding the serving of wine is very striking. Guys, this is a disaster. The service is just at zero.
Thanks!
The worst restaurant in Yerevan. During a previous trip, I wanted to visit this place, to which I was told that apart from the beautiful view, there is nothing else in this place. I still decided to give this place a second chance.
But unfortunately, my visit to the Diamond restaurant in Yerevan left me with an extremely negative impression. The only advantage of this place is its number of floors and tables with a beautiful view of the central square of Yerevan. But, unfortunately, this is the only plus.
The restaurant's cuisine leaves much to be desired. The desserts we ordered are just a nightmare. "Napoleon" was just wooden! I literally tasted a piece that I barely swallowed. I asked the waiter to pick up the dessert and bring ice cream, since it was impossible to eat this "Napoleon".
However, to my surprise, the waiter did not even deign to clarify why I was not finishing dessert. Moreover, this "Napoleon" was not deducted from my account, and they did not even ask me why I did not like it.
Hygiene was another unpleasant moment. Flies flew around the table, flew into the coffee and tried to land on the food. My piece of Napoleon was apparently cut off with the same knife that was used to cut my friend's dessert, as there were traces of chocolate on it, and my friend had a chocolate dessert.
In general, visiting the Diamond restaurant in Yerevan was a real disappointment. I don't recommend it to anyone.
Dear managers, you have a really great location, a great view of the square, but this is not enough. People come for a beautiful view 1 time, but if there is good service and delicious food, then they will come back to you. The cost of meals in your establishment is above average, but nothing at all corresponds to the cost. I read other reviews, and was horrified by the number of negative reviews. Don't you read them?…
The interior of the restaurant creates a feeling of a cozy home: warm shades, soft lighting and stylish design give the restaurant a special charm. The setting is suitable for a romantic dinner for two, as well as for a family lunch or a business lunch
A magnificent restaurant with a picturesque view of one of the most beautiful squares in the world. The menu is for every taste, the staff is attentive. It's especially great in the evening when the fountains are singing!
The worst place I've ever visited in my life. I do not recommend it. Save your money and don't spoil your impressions of this beautiful city by visiting this terrible place. The only good things here are the location and the view. Nothing else. The waiters are unprofessional, I was shocked to watch one of them in the middle of the working day, almost lying on the bar, hanging on the phone, biting his nails, completely ignoring what was happening in the hall ... shocked by the mojito (pure mint, filled with sprite) - no taste, no aesthetics.
There is a very large selection of dishes. Very tasty. Beautiful view of the city. The staff is very pleasant, polite and sociable. I got the impression from the visit that they were waiting for us. Thank you for your hospitality
They ran away from there, despite the gorgeous location and view, it's just some kind of station eatery. We wanted to have lunch with the child, but it's just dangerous to do it there.
Beautiful view of Republic Square from the 5th floor, that's it)
The price tag is too high, the service is 15% off the check, the food is not very good. The same whiskey cost 2-3 times more expensive than in other restaurants. The waitress is pleasant, smiling, we will definitely not go there a second time.
The food is terrible , everything is overdried , it is impossible to chew mutton , the service is terrible , while 15% are taken , the result is a spoiled evening and hunger , I do not advise
1 star for the view, and the work of the waiter, a very pleasant and sociable young man. An appetizing hair that I found on the edge of a cup of coffee, tiramisu is one of the most mediocre in my life, coffee like from a kettle in a hotel
An experience from the expectation/reality series
Service and maintenance - the waiter does not know the menu and to questions and requests to tell about the dish, he answers "I do not know" and refers to the fact that the menu is new, and in general everything is written there. This is the first time I've encountered this
The bar - serving and the taste of cocktails leaves much to be desired
The cuisine tastes mediocre. More importantly, the serving of the dish does not correspond to the very description in the menu that the waiter referred to (the ingredients that are listed on the menu were missing)
I wouldn't come here a second time.
It was expensive, the menu was shabby, the barbecue was generally overcooked as much as possible. The service is disrespectful - in general, I do not recommend it.
This is the worst place I've been 😡
Everything is bad here!!! The only good thing is the view, but this is definitely not the merit of this institution. The food was carried for 1.5 hours, the trout was cooked terribly, the service was also not a delight. For four of us, we gave 22,000 AMD, ordering only 4 dishes and tea. The owners of this place have gone crazy! The only thing the receptionist could do was apologize, but we had to pay the full price, otherwise he would have hung this check on the waiters. This is not a solution to the problem. I have been to many places and not only in Russia, this is the first time I have met such a disgusting service.
Սա ամենավատ տեղն է, որտեղ ես եղել եմ 😡
Այստեղ բոլորի համար վատ է: Միակ բանը, որ այն գեղեցիկ տեսարան է, բայց հաստատ արժանի չէ այս հաստատությանը։ Ուտելիքը տանում էին 1,5 ժամ, իշխանը ահավոր եփում էր, սպասարկումը նույնպես ոգևորված չէր։ Չորսի համար վճարել ենք 22000 դրամ, պատվիրել ենք ընդամենը 4 ուտեստ, թեյ։ Այս վայրի տերերը խենթ են։ Կշեռքի կառավարիչը, որը կարող էր ներողություն խնդրել դրա համար, այս դեպքում մենք պետք է վճարեինք ամբողջ գինը, հակառակ դեպքում նա այս կտրոնը կկախեր մատուցողներին։ Սա խնդրի լուծում չէ։ Շատ տեղերում եմ եղել ու ոչ միայն Ռուսաստանում, այնպիսի զզվելի ծառայություն, որին առաջին անգամ էի հանդիպել։
Let's start with a good one - it's a view. It's all. We booked a table with a good view, at the entrance we were greeted with dumbfounded eyes and sent to the 5th floor, where the waitress says sit down at any table, which naturally did not fully satisfy our expectations. Next, the waiter came up to us, a boy who constantly asked for the order, seemed to accept it, but without writing in a notebook, came up again to clarify. I wanted to eat steak, the menu indicated the position: "Beef steak", to my fair question, is it machete steak, rib eye, striploin or New York, the waiter went to check with a more experienced person, the waitress came up again, who said simply: "this is beef", well, how to say *** thank you for***. We ordered cocktails that clearly have the wrong proportions, too sugary. The chicken soup had a film over the broth, which corresponds to the fact that it stood for a long time and was just warmed up, I probably wouldn't even understand if they bothered to stir it after heating, it was also absolutely tasteless and without salt. Fettuccine carbonara is a shame, big chunks of cheap ham....
The worst place I've been to in Yerevan, better take a bucket of wings to the KFS and a bottle of wine, get more emotions and taste by eating the same on Republic Square
It is unreasonably expensive, a horse percentage is charged for service in the amount of 15% of the receipt. This is a stone-faced service, without a good evening, and all the best. When I was waiting for change at the bar, they silently put money on the bar and left. I am most dissatisfied with this institution and the staff. Only the view from this cafe is for 5 balls
For what to pay 15% do not know how to greet people, their faces are like after a vine. The service is the worst I've ever seen in my life . I don 't advise anyone . Expensive and not tasty . On behalf of the waiter, he will disappear
I join the negative reviews... I came here to look at the menu after kalin, because I couldn't figure out why they charged me a large amount.... And this, it turns out, is the included tip o_O... There was no word about it anywhere, and when paying the bill, they also kept silent, saw the withdrawal and began to think... This is a tin, of course... And it would be for that. We accepted the order, brought a drink, and after 20 minutes we were told that none of the ordered dishes were available... I took a lamb kebab on the recommendation, clarified whether it would be cooked quickly, they said yes... Half an hour later, she asked where the dish was... They promised in 2 minutes. They brought it in 10 minutes. I immediately asked for the bill. They didn't bring it. The kebab is tasteless, it seems that yesterday's was heated in the microwave, then it cooled down... The bill was brought after another request... If I had known about the tip, I would have made you clean up for such service
Repairs are needed, prices are higher than those of competitors. The service is good.

A cozy place with a nice interior, but they didn't put habanera in the dish (Mexican breakfast). After the question, they replaced it with hot red pepper. In general, it is delicious and good service, but it is expensive.
It's a pity that you can put a whole one point, because this "institution" does not deserve even one point. To begin with, after sitting at the table for 40 minutes, not a single waiter deigned to approach seeing such a picture, as I personally went and took the menu from the waiter's table. So, after sitting at the table for 40 minutes, no one bothered to come up to us. Naturally, my company and I decided to leave. The only person to whom there are no complaints in this institution is the doorman, the rest are just below the plinth of the service sector.
P.S. Of course I deeply apologize, but what kind of service do you not give, in this I apologize (by the way deeply) far from a budget and status "institution". I do not recommend it, do not waste time and nerves!
We ordered a warm salad, Adjarian khachapuri, coffee and lemonade. We waited a very long time. The salad was brought cold, the meat was tough. They asked to redo it, waited another 15 minutes. They brought the exact same salad. The bill was brought for 14,000 drams. They paid for it, left the salad, and asked me to give it to the cook. In general, everything is bad, long and expensive (for such cuisine) it is better to consider other establishments, there is much much better, the same tavern Yerevan. It is very tasty and the prices are pleasant.
Well, of course it's a shame. Everything would be nothing but everything..
They couldn't finish any of the dishes, like in a cheap eatery.
And this is the very center of Yerevan.
Some negative emotions.
+5000 fees for a beautiful view
+15% service that will never reach the waiter
+ tales from the waiter that the terminal is not working. To be paid in cash at their exchange rate.
That's why you need the terminal to the end. They are obliged to provide. If not, then at least let the police be called.
I don't recommend it.
It would be possible to put 0 points, that's how much I would put.
I gave 1 point for the beautiful view.
The most tasteless place in Yerevan.
I somehow got used to the delicious gastronomy of Yerevan and relaxed in the choice of places to have dinner.
The beautiful building of the restaurant attracted with the opportunity to dine on the terrace, overlooking not only the entire main square of the city, but partially Ararat.
Briefly, because I don't want to waste time on this dubious institution:
Instead of a loin of lamb, they brought a set of different bones, but not a loin (photo attached).
Medium roast steak was not even performed well down, but simply dried to the state of chips for beer (also in the photo).
The greens are ripe. Caprese salad on tomatoes, apparently brought from Moscow, or more northern latitudes - I don't know why. There are plenty of local tomatoes…
Always bypass it.
It's a terrible place! Avoid it!
The food is tasteless, the wine is terrible, the beer is so-so! The service leaves much to be desired!
It takes a very long time, they don't bring food to everyone at once, they carry it for a very long time, when you refuse dishes because of a long wait, they still try to make them pay! Ruined the mood for the whole evening!
One point for the view, it's really beautiful, but otherwise, avoid it!
The view from the roof terrace is great, but that also has its price. The prices are extremely high and the services away from the location leave much to be desired. The service is mediocre and the atmosphere very haughty. For the view and a drink ok, but for more it was too expensive for us.
It 's a terrible place . We took a VIP booth on the 5th floor, but apart from the beautiful view from the window, we did not observe any other positive aspects. We waited for the waiter for 30 minutes , and during the order it turned out that 90% of the dishes from the menu were simply missing . We ordered a mikado cake, which was just disgusting, the cappuccino was brought cold, then we waited an hour to be counted out. We were served rather rudely and unfriendly , but it is not surprising , since there is one waitress on the 5th floor for a large number of visitors and she simply did not have time to do anything .
I do not recommend this place to anyone, as the prices are very expensive , and there is no service . There is no customer orientation .
We read a lot of bad reviews and went with great caution. But we really needed a view of the square)) we took a pizza, not a masterpiece, but quite good. 2 cocktails - one is straight good, the second did not like: 80% ice and tasteless liquid. The waiters need to be caught. 15% after-sales service is included in the receipt. The view is really gorgeous.
He came in, he looked awesome. I read the reviews, showed the waitress, asked how you can comment
She pretended to hear it for the first time, said okay, and retreated. They were afraid to order food. Gone
I didn't really understand where so much negativity came from. Overall, the food and service are not bad. Let's count for 3 points + 1 point for the view. And that 4 points is quite justified.
We took a medium-rare steak. Slightly overexposed. And risotto with seafood. I ate better, but also quite nothing. Cocktails are also normal
We were "lucky" to stumble upon this place on the first day of a walk around Yerevan. There was no way to view the reviews. Everything went wrong with us that day, and as a conclusion, there was a terribly tasteless dinner that completely ruined the mood.
The pork shish kebab along with the potatoes were very dry, the lamb in the dough, branded and praised by the waitress, was tasteless (no salt, no spices). But a tip of 15% is immediately included in the bill. The only advantage of this place, which of course does NOT overlap the quality of the food and the price tag for it, is the veranda overlooking the square and Ararat.
I strongly do not recommend it.
It's a terrible place, why didn't you read the reviews right away?((( Salad with oak liver!!! I told the waiter, he ignored me, and then he told me to go to the manager myself and tell the problem 😵💫
The most delicious thing, I beg your pardon, but the food there is disgusting (((( kharcho soup with walnuts, and it's not that it's bad, the fact is that my husband has a severe allergy, and there are no words on the menu about it, as a result, the person was very ill ((( in general the food is not tasty , bland , I wonder if they have tried it themselves ? The view is beautiful, but it's not worth the money! Keep in mind that it is expensive there in terms of price ratio in Yerevan
It's a terrible restaurant. He was attracted only by his appearance.
The four of us sat, the food was carried for an hour, the drinks were brought and they were ruined; they even managed to bring a warm coke. Everything we ate was not delicious (pizza, Caesar, Tartare, mushroom cream soup, mashed potatoes with cutlets)
Be prepared for another 15 tips included%
The staff is also terrible, 3 waiters work, and there were a lot of people.
There were also no shrimps, we had to order caesar with chicken and we immediately got a second coke instead of a red fanta :/
Come only for a photo on the veranda by ordering water....
