This is a legendary and old restaurant that has been completely renovated recently. This place offers amazing food, an amazing atmosphere, and great service.
This place is like coming home, where you feel cozy and comfortable, and the whole staff in here is super nice.
Many influential people visit this place because of its uniqueness and delicious food.
Parking is a bit of an issue, but the street parking is there and free. The best hours to visit this place is after working hours because the street gets empty after that time.
Visiting Artyush (Yerevan, Khorenatsi St., 20) is not just a dinner, it is an immersion into the very heart of Armenia, acquaintance with its soul through delicious cuisine.
A tiny restaurant, tucked away in one of the central streets, is a real gastronomic gem, shimmering in the very center of the city. If you are lucky, and Artyush himself, a generous host with an open heart, meets you at the doorstep, his cordiality will warm you better than any hearth. Be prepared for a whirlwind of flavors, a kaleidoscope of flavors and generous portions, because here every dish is a real feast for a gourmet, an ode to Armenian cuisine.
The atmosphere, saturated with the centuries-old traditions of Armenian hospitality, is sometimes shrouded in a light haze of cigarette smoke, which may seem unusual. But don't worry, for those who appreciate a secluded environment, there is a cozy study where you can enjoy a meal in silence. The restaurant enjoys well-deserved popularity, therefore, so that nothing overshadows your journey into the world of Armenian cuisine, it is better to take care of booking a table in advance.
Expensive, but delicious! Don't order too many dishes. Limit yourself to one hot or fragrant soup. What strikes and delights me most about Armenian cuisine is the dogwood compote, which is the perfect end to a meal.
Unnecessarily expensive. The prices are at the level of an expensive restaurant, and the food is just completely homemade, quite tasty, but very homey and the choice is very limited. Despite the fact that, in fact, these are 5 tables in a room called a home hall, it's uncomfortable for me. They served an absolutely tasteless sweet drink as a gift under the guise of wine, but it doesn't look anything like wine. Soup with homemade chicken - half a plate for 2500 drams, a thin piece of roast beef - 5000 drams ... well, this may be normal for inexperienced tourists, but I would not recommend it.
The restaurant at Artush is a real corner of gastronomic pleasure. From the first steps in this cozy establishment, you immerse yourself in the atmosphere of warmth and comfort. The interior harmoniously combines modernity and traditional elements, creating a relaxing atmosphere for guests. The service in the restaurant is at a high level: the staff is polite and attentive, always ready to help with the choice of a dish or drink. The friendly atmosphere makes the visit even more enjoyable. The restaurant at Artush has become a real discovery for me, and I am happy to recommend it to anyone who is looking for a quality place.
Greetings from Abkhazia!
We had the displeasure to visit this small family establishment twice. Maybe the food is good, the place was recommended by an Armenian friend from Rostov. But we haven't tried the kitchen yet.
We went there for the first time in the evening at the beginning of the tenth.
Judging by the expressions on the waiters' faces, we were not very welcome at the entrance, but they offered us a seat. They brought the menu and immediately said we don't have a barbecue, if you need it, then you're not here. We puked on the grill and didn't plan to, so we continued to choose dishes. After 5 minutes, the waiter came over and said that they would close in 40 minutes and would hardly have time to cook for us, or we would have to eat very quickly. That's why we'd better leave and come back tomorrow afternoon.
We were surprised and went to the exit, at that time 6 local guests came inside and the table was set for them.
We arrived the next day in the afternoon. The owner met us and immediately informed us at the entrance that their gas stove was broken. But he allowed me to take the table. There was a feast in a separate enclosed room, served by a loud group of local guys.
They put a decanter of vodka on the table as a compliment (we don't drink vodka), but they weren't in a hurry to take the order.
Realizing that we weren't welcome here, we got ready to leave.
To which the cleaning lady (as it turned out, it was the owner's wife) told us in the back that respectable people come here, and if we are poor, then we do not need to go to the restaurant, but to the dining room)))
A great restaurant that welcomed and saw us off on our Yerevan vacation. We haven't found anything better all week. Very hospitable. Delicious homemade wine. The divine kufta. The kitchen is excellent. The owner asked us every 10 minutes if we liked everything.
I highly recommend you to visit
The hospitality is at the highest level. The waiter, after a couple of phrases, now recommended dishes that suited us perfectly. The dishes are very tasty, the atmosphere is inviting, the owner of the restaurant himself met and inquired about our opinion. Tamla and desserts are the most memorable. The prices are reasonable. The history of the restaurant is amazing, there are photos of the owner with celebrities from all over the world on the walls. As we understand it, this restaurant arranges dinners for the first persons of the states. A must-visit!
Delicious tea. The food is average. As for the atmosphere, I prefer privacy, but here the owner of the restaurant is sitting in the hall just like the owner, looking at the guests in a masterly way, not at the waiters. We were well served, but I was not very comfortable there psychologically.
We really liked it. We were greeted kindly, and immediately brought a glass of homemade wine as a gift (I really liked it). Everything we ordered was delicious. At the same time, the service was fast and unobtrusive. The quality/price ratio was higher and better than expected.
The wine is amazing, any dish will be very tasty. Lots of local cuisine. I am very pleasantly surprised that it can be so delicious and so family-friendly.,
It's a very warm and cozy place. Great home cooking. The owner personally controls everything. He treated us to homemade fresh wine. I recommend this place to everyone.
Delicious, hospitable, very atmospheric. Not everything we ate and drank was included in the bill. The portions are large.
A special mention is the seasonal dolma, based on the principle of stuffed peppers and cabbage rolls. Only the cabbage is thin, thin.
When we came for the 2nd time, all the tables were occupied. Although the owners honestly offered to disassemble a small table for us, which played an exhibition role.
It was very tasty. The waiters are smart, there are very few tables, the room is not that big. It looks pretentious, but the service is peculiar. Prices may be higher than in other establishments, but the food does not stand out in any outstanding way. You can go once
The kindest and most unusual place in Yerevan.
First of all, people who were born in this city can understand this.
Guests will be able to appreciate the taste of real, homely and at the same time ancient Armenian cuisine.
Thank you very much!!!
A lovely cozy family home...not a restaurant, a table. We came in when the owner was resting, word for word, men (I can't name waiters!), we were interviewed, made an exact cut of wishes, and after 5 minutes appeared: a collection of cheeses, any greens, fresh simple vegetables, excellent stewed eggplant-pepper-onion salad, bread basket. The owner rolled out a decanter of apricot and homemade wine without asking. After about 15 minutes, the most tender lamb dolma collapsed, divinely stuffed peppers, satsebeli sauces, homemade matsoni. Veal with capsicum and steamed egg was expected to be excessive. A mega authentic place for those who are tired of barbecue.
It's just a miracle! The host is great, the food is great, the atmosphere and the hospitality. Everything is at the highest level! I definitely recommend it! Just a delight
The coolest place! Delicious, fast, reasonable prices. When we came as a family, we were offered a separate office with air conditioning. After the hot street, it was divine. And they also brought us a decanter of homemade wine as a compliment from the chef. I really liked it.
A chic cafe. A hospitable host. Delicious cuisine. We were treated to homemade wine, tea with cherry jam! Everything is very tasty!!! Thank you very much! We will definitely come back when we arrive in Yerevan!
As time passes, I remember dinner with pleasure. The locals recommend it. It's cozy and not crowded. Dinner for five turned out to be cheaper than in other establishments in Yerevan. The portions are good, they meet warmly. A decanter of fine homemade wine was presented. I recommend that you definitely visit the gastronomic picture of Yerevan for completeness
The best Caucasian cuisine restaurant I've ever been to. Everything is perfectly cooked from the best products. The service is excellent. The atmosphere is homely. Everything is just at the highest level!
Incredibly delicious! Very kind and courteous staff! It's a comfortable environment, I'd like to come again!

We have heard so many good things about this restaurant from local connoisseurs! I'm sure it's a really great place, with amazing cuisine. And Artush himself is a really powerful man who can close the restaurant for all New Year's holidays from the 31st to the 6th..)) It's a pity that we couldn't have lunch here on this visit. We hope for the future..!!))
A wonderful place! In the evening we met here with the owner of the restaurant and his wife, very atmospheric, new renovation, the food is very tasty, the service is wonderful! We returned the next day and were delighted again!
I highly recommend it! Don't look at the reviews with a low rating, this is a wonderful place!
We came here on the recommendation of a partner. Sooo delicious! Yes, the home environment, yes, the menu is in stickers. But, the initial quality of the products is good and cooked with soul! The host himself is always on site and is happy to welcome guests. The waiters are amazing, attentive and helpful. People commenting with a negative assessment are clearly those who like lavender raf because it is fashionable. You cannot experience the real Yerevan without visiting this authentic place)
The shoulder of lamb is just a delight)

We had dinner at this amazing restaurant. While they were choosing what to order, they brought two glasses of wine and juice to the child. After ordering, they also brought three boiled colored eggs (it was Easter) and lavash as a gift. The food is delicious, the waiters are polite, the interior is like in a palace. But most importantly, there was a friendly host. He talked to the visitors and to us too. Everyone who is nearby is there urgently.

Everyone who came to Yerevan as a tourist needs to come here. Delicious homemade food. Excellent service! Uncle Artush is always glad to have guests and pleasant communication! Payment in cash only
The coolest authentic place with delicious food and sociable staff. To be honest, we are very surprised why Yandex has such a low rating. We are thrilled! Lamb and tolma are delicious! Coffee, wine - a bomb!!!
We recommend it!!!! 5 stars definitely!!!
I really like criticism, but I can't understand if you don't like something, why are you sitting there next, are you inspectors or specialists...??? I was here 10 years ago and I have an association when you can work for more than 35 years, you should at least respect it. I was satisfied with the prices and the food, I am grateful to these people in one word
I'll be the first. The restaurant has just been renovated. The restaurant is famous and well-deserved. Unfortunately, the opening hours are incorrectly indicated on Yandex maps. I am sure that if you fix it, it will be sold out soon. We will sell out because the food is incredibly delicious and the service is excellent. We have tried many restaurants and cafes in Yerevan. This is by far the best. We highly recommend it. And we especially recommend apricot and mulberry vodka. This is certainly not vodka, but an honest delicious distillate. I highly recommend it and wish you a pleasant appetite.
A small cafe in the city center with a classic set of Armenian dishes. Everyone tastes different, I didn't like it: a lot of salt, small portions, quite expensive. No card can be used to pay. There are few tables, there is no summer veranda. There are scary stuffed animals and birds inside. I wouldn't go a second time.
The shoulder of mutton is just a delight. It is very difficult to cook a delicious lamb, but here it is amazing. Very nice staff, polite, attentive. One of the best and most pleasant establishments in Yerevan. You don't have to pay if you don't like it. I give you a tooth, you will be delighted
If you want to eat " ugly " delicious food , then this is only for Artyusha . However, keep in mind that a couple of kilograms of excess weight are guaranteed. But it's worth it.
This is the best place in Yerevan)) it is extremely tasty. It looks like a completely nondescript institution with a sign from the 70s. But! Divine! Low bow to the chefs who can create something incredible out of food🙏🙏🙏🙏
The food is delicious, the waiters are unobtrusive (however, they helped with the choice, dissuaded from one dish and recommended another, for which I thank them very much), the prices are average.
The entourage is Soviet, but it adds color)
Incredibly welcoming and very tasty. It was lucky that such a pearl was found right next to the hotel. The atmosphere is close to home. It's like visiting an old friend.

It's a very tasty place. The host is hospitable and generous with treats and socializing. The wine and apricot vodka are great! We were very satisfied.
It's a disgusting place. It's a canteen that hides behind the decorations. Paintings on the walls, tablecloths, glasses, appliances...
The food is very bad. The most expensive salad was cooked for 3 minutes and in fact it turned out to be eggplant caviar. A piece of beef is completely tasteless.
I visited the institution after seeing a high rating (4.2 at the time of writing the review). In the area of 100 meters there are establishments with the same rating, but much more delicious food in the same price category.
I didn't want to write a review, but after the phrase "brother, the terminal is not working well today, you can use rubles", I realized that a review was needed.
Avoid it.
We were very strongly recommended to visit this place. When we arrived, we were the only visitors, although it was a weekend evening, which was a little confusing. BUT: The food is insanely delicious - homemade, cooked according to traditions and with a soul. Fashionable places in the city center rest on the quality of the dishes, although at first glance the place may scare away.
