The staff was rude, arrogant, and didn’t have proper internal communication between them.
We called at 6:10PM and asked if the activities that involve children are available, they said that we can make it if we arrive before 7:00PM. We ran with my 2 year old child and made it there within less than 10 minutes.
We entered, asked where we should go for the activities, was immediately asked to go to the proper room, pay first, and proceed. I know that we have to pay, but why be so rude about it? We proceeded to the relevant room, asked about the activity, and I was told that there is no availability. Like, what? You just told us there is over the phone. After some words of criticism from our side for this incident, one of the staff members cut us off on the way out quite aggressively and started yelling at us to add insult to injury.
In short, if you can’t have better staff with no attitude and aggressiveness, then you probably should just close shop and open a different business.
This was my first and last visit. Very disappointed.
really cultural center .if you visi our spiritual capital Echmiatsin - you must visit this place or places .in one address there is a city for children and for all

Great and interesting place with extraordinary ornaments and design elements. Pottery, beautiful garden, different halls to enjoy time with friends and family.
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.
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 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.
It's amazing! It's a very atmospheric place.
A great restaurant with a national flavor, with delicious dishes and wonderful wine and wonderful waiters.
Amazing and interesting art space, pleasant atmosphere, very friendly and professional staff.
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!
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
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
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!
A very, very beautiful place! You really enjoy the contemplation of all the beauty and history. The food is not delicious, it was a huge disappointment
Очень интересное и приятное место. Это не просто ресторан, это культурный центр, где есть кружки для детей, можно сходить на мастер класс по выпечке лаваша, и собрано множество интересных старинных предметов, и современного искусства тоже. Очень красивые уютные дворики и балконы, действительно самобытный, интересный, уютный интерьер. Все продумано до меловей, до солонок и салфеток на столах.
Очень вкусная еда, опять таки необычная, не то, что подается в каждом кафе и ресторане, хочется попробоватьвсе меню. Но порции большие, поэтому за один раз не получится.
Прекрасное обслуживание, сотрудники доброжелательные, внимательные, очень гостеприимные и любящие это место .
С удовольствием придем еще, и желаем процветания и благополучия.
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.
Чудесное место. Большое и вкусное национальное меню с авторскими блюдами. Большая территория, где можно погулять в тени деревьев. Национальная музыка, доброжелательное обслуживание. Огромные порции. Цена средняя и адекватная размеру и качеству блюд.
A cozy cafe, not far from the main temple complex) clean, quiet, and, most importantly, delicious) I especially remember the interior, very authentic :)))
A very atmospheric place. Art space in Armenian. I was impressed by the restaurant with national cuisine and grandmothers-waiters. It was warm, cozy and delicious as at home.

We are from St. Petersburg, we have heard a lot about this place. We decided to visit it with high expectations, but alas we were deeply disappointed. I only liked the fresh, it's clear that fresh is very hard to spoil ... but how could you make such a tasteless pizza?! I'm still wondering. Even at home, no one would make such a "pizza", it was impossible to eat. I advise you to reconsider the choice of chefs, otherwise you will lose customers. Thank you for not including the pizza in the bill, I have no complaints against the waiter
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.

You just need to go there and see this place with your own eyes, taste interesting and delicious dishes, feel the kind atmosphere, admire the design, unusual decorations.
Excellent cuisine, reasonable prices. Being in this restaurant feels like being in a museum. It's a very colorful place.
I definitely recommend it!

A must-visit when visiting Etchmiadzin - excellent atmosphere, good service, unusual cuisine. There is also something to choose from in the souvenir shop at the institution.
Случайно увидели это место на туристическом указателе и решили зайти пообедать. Ресторан превзошёл все ожидания: необычное интересное пространство, еда очень вкусная, а обслуживание выше всяких похвал! Большое спасибо персоналу!
Очень уютное место, интересно оформленный дворик. Еда очень вкусная, традиционная армянская кухня, много необычных для русских людей блюд. Придём сюда снова)
Это просто восторг! Начиная от ценностей, которые несёт эта компания и заканчивая материальной реализацией. Вкуснейшая кухня, изумительная атмосфера и дизайнерское оформление
Мы остались довольны данным заведением. Быстрая подача, уютная атмосфера, доброжелательный персонал, очень вкусная еда, есть на что посмотреть) советую посетить
