This sleek and modern eatery features goodies from the Mount Ararat region, south of Armenia. Inside, beautiful metal sculptures adorn the restaurant, while the blue and pumpkin coloring is a great contrast. The small restaurant, with about a dozen tables, is bustling, especially when the work crowd comes in for the cheap, hearty lunch specials — the meat kebabs are $8.99, while items such as hummus and grape leaves are $5.99. In addition to traditional Mediterranean fare, the eatery offers burgers and chicken sandwiches.
