I’ve never experienced such terrible service at a restaurant. Every time we’ve tried to eat here, the hostess claims that all the tables are reserved, but they’re clearly sitting empty for long periods of time. It’s as if they don’t care about accommodating walk-in customers, and when we asked about the situation, the hostess was rude and dismissive.
If you want to be treated poorly and ignored, this is the place for you. Otherwise, I’d highly recommend finding somewhere else to dine, where they value their customers and don’t leave tables empty for "reservations" that never seem to show up.

This place fascinated us =) The interior is modern and very cozy, there are places on the street, but we preferred to stay in the hall. Comfortable and stylish, modern furniture, incredible wall paintings and incredibly beautiful moldings on the ceiling! The dishes I remember most of all are ojahuri with sweet potatoes - this is a divine combination of sweet potatoes with the tenderest beef, this dish is forever in my heart! The staff is also kind and friendly, always ready to prompt and advise (it was the waiter who suggested trying the dish). In general, the place definitely deserves the highest praise!

a restaurant in the center of Yerevan with good prices. Very tasty food, a large selection of appetizers and main dishes, there are also desserts. The bar menu is also varied, and everyone will find a drink to their liking (I sincerely love lemonade Tbilisi)
A delicate honey cake, juicy khinkali and a modern interior with references to traditions - that's what I remember this place for
* there are also child safety seats

very tasty Georgian food, so much so that I was ready to come every day. I really liked the assorted pals (a decent enough portion), salad with crispy eggplant – tomatoes deserve special attention, they are unreal, red, as they should be, juicy and sweet, well, again, a portion for exactly two.
the kitchen, service and staff are great.
I couldn't see the interior of the restaurant because we were sitting outside, but what I saw was very pleasant to the eye and I wanted to look at it.

A cool friendly place with minihinkals and a brute! Everything is very tasty, and striped khinkalkt with mutton is love. You can find a place for a big company on a Friday evening. Thanks!

One of the best establishments in Yerevan. The cuisine is excellent - every day we went to have breakfast there (and not only to have breakfast), although there are many good places nearby.
the staff is very attentive and sincere.
We will definitely come back.

Finally, a wonderful restaurant with Georgian cuisine has opened in Yerevan. Let's start with the main thing - with the food: it's beautiful. The kitchen is a very modern author's interpretation of classic well-known dishes.
The interior is very beautiful, every detail is thought out in it, down to branded napkins, dishes with original paintings, ordered from Yerevan craftsmen.
Excellent service (we send greetings to Anastasia, who is incredibly polite and knows everything about the place where she works, apres). Կեցցե Լալի

Khinkali, eggplant salad, Adjarian khachapuri, lemonade. I liked everything very much, the cool service and the atmosphere. The only thing is, I didn't have enough meat in the hinkals. It is difficult to say for the price, since many places in Yerevan have poor quality at an adequate price, it seems more expensive here, but also without complaints.

Pretentious, expensive, overly flashy. The staff is very pleasant and attentive. Zinkali are spicy and tender. A large selection of wines, an experienced sommelier. When the hall is fully seated, it is quite noisy, the guests try to shout over the music

Neo-Georgian cuisine in the center of Yerevan.
The interior is fashionable, rather minimalistic. It is light and generally cozy
I took tartare (the meat is slightly frozen, but a lot of hot oil was added there, so it was delicious), ajpbsandal (it's warm here... delicious, spicy) and plum pie (dry crunchy pie, tasteless plums on top, ice cream and cold sauce - what's wrong here )
The service is uneven - at the beginning there was no attempt to tell about the restaurant, no contact to establish - the order was accepted and okay, the dishes were brought by a guy with an attempt to talk, take feedback ...
In general, a beautiful place, I will come here again closely, explore the food and wine with cocktails

Topchik! After a wonderful dinner yesterday, we came in. For breakfast. It is a must-visit in Yerevan, the second day is here! Benedict is the best for breakfast, the brioche in it is generally the most delicious that I have ever tasted🤗
Hashbrown sweet potatoes are also good, but this brioche 😍

Probably the most delicious place, both in terms of the taste of the dishes and the level of service!!! The waiters will tell you about the interior and tulips on the ceilings. The very approach to the guests is certainly enticing, and I want to come back here!!! But there are spots on the sun, too. I'm kidding. I'm kidding.

First of all, I want to mention the staff. The waiters are wonderful. They are very friendly and welcoming. The food is delicious. The combinations in their dishes are very interesting. It's a pity now there is no opportunity to try hummus with persimmons (out of season).
And they also had breakfast. I advise you to try their cheesecakes.

I've heard a lot of different reviews about this restaurant, so I decided to check it out myself. In the compartment, the food is good for me, as for baking, it's fantastic, especially foam with cheeks. Of course, there are a lot of questions about the service, but they disappeared thanks to the care of Daniel and Alexander.

We were a big company and we had no problems splitting the bill, which is often an unsolvable problem for Yerevan establishments.
The eggplant salad is excellent, lots of coriander and the eggplants were cooked properly - crispy on top, and tender flesh inside.
A variety of wines, there is even Austria.
The service is fast and professional.
And the bingo service fee is not present in the bill.
All of the above, as well as a pleasant interior and not loud music, make this place one of the favorite places in Yerevan

Lali: Georgian fusion in the center of Yerevan
We have been following the repair of this place for a long time and now, finally, it has opened. A beautiful Georgian restaurant with an Italian oven, a nice bar and a very pleasant atmosphere for lunch or dinner was built 2 minutes from Republic Square.
Service: 9.5
You will be met and planted literally in seconds. The service can be in Russian, Armenian or English. Everyone is very polite and attentive. The waiter knew the menu well and could tell about all the dishes from my request. He regularly approached me and did not leave me without attention. Maybe a little too much.
Food: 9.5
Took puri, fresh from the oven, wonderful. Caramelized dried beetroot with nuts, cheese mousse and tarragon oil is now my love. Classic khinkali is quite basic, but a good balance of meat, herbs, spices and salt. In general, it is very good.
Interior: 9
Very beautiful and modern. The arches and classical columns look a bit eclectic, but the velvet red ceiling in the bar and kitchen area, thick white tablecloths, wooden furniture in the Soviet style is very interesting and not hackneyed. Definitely like.
Music: 8
Jazz and music plays in the background, creates a pleasant atmosphere, but because of the common room, you often hear the conversations of neighbors or staff, which are louder than music.
Toilet: 9
There's a whole floor (almost) under the toilet. I counted 4 cabins, which is great for such a landing. There is a sink in the common area. The booths themselves are small, but comfortable.
Overall rating: 9
Prices:
Khinkali – 550 AMD for 1 pc.
Dried beetroot — 2600 AMD
Puri — 400 AMD
Opening hours: 12:00 – 01:00
Location: #Yerevan #Kentron #9balls

I liked the restaurant, modern Georgian cuisine.
❣️Pleasant music and a beautiful terrace.
On the terrace, it is better to take places away from Frank Basta (the music from there is very disturbing).
Took:
- crispy eggplant in nut sauce,
- lemonade "Taste of Kutaisi",
- ojahuri,
- fresh bread (with matzoni - a fairy tale).
Very tasty, excellent waiters who prompt and help!

It is quite bold to open a Georgian cuisine restaurant in a gastronomic Armenian environment. But the risk is justified. Delicious, stylish. I was impressed by the dishes. Friendly service.

Very tasty coffee. The food is almost all delicious. If it weren't for the cold, bland shakshuka, which was clearly not cooked in the pan in which it was served, it would have been 5. If you don't know how to cook it, it's better to exclude it from the menu.

The place is average. The service is great but the food is not impressed. Khinkali for 500 drams is about nothing at all. You can eat better in Yerevan for 300 drams. The rest of the dishes are not too enthusiastic.
I don't want to go back. PS it is impossible to find a passage to the toilet without waiters.

We went to this restaurant yesterday, the food is not bad, the work of Alexander's waiter is at the highest level. But! The price deception was in almost all positions. That is, the dish on the menu, for example, costs 6100, it's chicken in sauce. When closing the account, I saw that the sauce was also listed separately next to this dish, although it was not served separately. To my question, the waiter said that this is how they make their way in the program. But this is nonsense. We were celebrating a birthday, so I didn't want to spoil my mood and fight with them. But it was very unpleasant. That there was a similar deception in several positions.
I really dislike this kind of thing. It's better if the food is tasteless or the portion is wrong, but I can't stand the deception in the price at all. I don't recommend this restaurant to anyone.

I am updating the review, after the previously published good one. Every time we arrived in Yerevan, we went here EVERY day. Overall, the kitchen is not bad. But the last visit was strange. We did not like two dishes, both outright marriage: cold achma and wildly bitter eggplant with baghe. The waiter listened carefully to our feedback, handed everything over to the chef, but in the end both of these dishes were included in the bill. Apparently, the chef decided that his food was the best on earth, and did not accept criticism. For Moscow, for example, this situation is nonsense, I have never had to pay for frankly tasteless dishes there. Restaurants that value regular guests who consistently leave 30 thousand drams every day work differently. Then why do you even need this show-off with the question "How do you like the dish?". You answer "Badly" and you get "Thank you very much for your feedback, please pay for our mistakes." Well, OK, it's not a problem to pay, but will we come back? Unlikely. There are no questions for the waiter, but the Chef deserves 2 stars.

Tasteless, very spicy (too much), the service is weak. You ask for one thing, they bring another. With a look as if everything is as it should be.
Of the advantages, only the interior is beautiful. But it's not the interior that's being eaten…

The illusion of a good restaurant. Chicken chkmeruli and khinkali are delicious. Brisket does not look like a real brisket, but just stewed meat, achma is semi—warm and filled with cold cream, crispy eggplant is very bitter. Achma and eggplant were returned, the waiter passed the remarks to the chef. The boss did not agree with us, they included it in the bill :) I recommend the chef to listen to the reviews of the guests and learn to accept objective criticism of unsuccessful dishes. In the meantime, I give you a well-deserved 2 stars for this attitude. Special thanks to the waiters Alexander and Egor — super attentive, sociable, tactful.

For those who like spicy food 😄
I saw several reviews of this restaurant and I really wanted to visit it, I liked the interior and overall the reviews were good.
But the disappointment started right from the entrance, we booked a table in advance, a girl met us and said "choose the table yourself", but the table we chose was dirty (it stood in the corner and it was not clear from afar that it had not been cleaned), we decided to sit down at it anyway, because we liked it We thought it would be quickly removed, but the waiters and hostesses ignored us for 10 minutes, until I approached this girl (hostess) myself and reported the problem.
She suggested that we move for the time of serving that table (literally two minutes), but in the end we just moved, because by the time the table was served, the order had already been made (20 minutes had passed).
The menu was brought about 5 minutes after we moved, and the order was accepted about 10 minutes later…
well, anything happens, after all, the restaurant has recently opened, but we were a little upset, because in the reviews I saw and read about a different level of service and there was a good mood :)
We took tartare, fried eggplant with baghe sauce, khachapuri in Adjarian style, chicken in chkmeruli sauce, lemonades from Kutaisi and Tbilisi, plum pie and sour cream with persimmon, berry author's tea (which is actually just karkade, but when brewed the taste of the barberry is felt :)). We also ordered mushroom sauce separately for a sample, but it was not brought and was not removed from the bill until we told the waiter about it, which also spoiled the mood.
Almost all the dishes were spicy, which greatly overshadowed our visit, because my husband does not eat spicy food at all.
Khachapuri, lemonades and desserts + tea were not spicy.
We did not expect spicy tartare, as well as spicy sauce with eggplant, the chmeruli were sprinkled with chili on top, but the most annoying thing was that no one warned about the sharpness at the order stage (of course they could ask themselves, but they took potentially non-spicy dishes in advance) and there were no marks on the menu from the sharpness…
I haven't seen anything like this in the reviews either, so for those who care that the food is not spicy, be careful when choosing dishes at Lali restaurant.
I liked Tbilisi lemonade very much, it had an interesting taste, Kutaisi was sour at first, and then for a lover of blackberry flavor, but overall OK.
Desserts were not very pleased when I saw the word "sour cream", I imagined something like a cheesecake or a cake with thin cakes and sour cream, but I got something like crumbs of chocolate cookies filled with sour cream sauce and with a couple of small pieces of persimmon, I couldn't finish it, you can just see it in the photo.
The plum pie was a little dry, why there was creme brulee sauce and ice cream without a warm bottom pie, but just on fresh slices of plum - it's not clear, but it's generally edible.
Khachapuri tastes OK, but the boat was very strange, too high.
The interior is beautiful, the music is OK, but sometimes it was a little loud.
The service is not to say that it is mega bad, but also not good, somewhere on the 3rd. The food was generally taken out at a normal speed, but it was difficult to call the waiters, they ran back and forth all the time, although the landing was not very tight. There are no complaints about communication, everyone is polite, friendly enough.
Very good hand cream in the toilet :)
Unfortunately, the overall aftertaste from the visit was negative, so I give 3 stars. Against the background of all the worries, I completely forgot to take photos of the food, but at least the dessert got there)
