THIS RESTUARANT IS NOTHING ARMENIAN

by aREALArmenian

THIS IS NOT AN ARMENIAN EATERY

THIS PLACE IS OWNED BY EYRABS

PLZ DONT CONFUSE EYRABS FOR REAL ARMENIANS

ARMENIANS ARE NOT MIDDLE EASTERN ANYTHING

NOR ARE WE ARABS

WE ARE CAUCASIANS

WE ARE FROM TRANS-CAUCASIA, ANATOLIA

ARMENIAN FOOD IS NOT EYRAB FOOD

WE HAVE OUR OWN FOODS/DISHES

WE SHARE NOTHING IN COMMON WITH EYRABS

THE SCAM LIARS WHO OWN THIS PLACE ARE EYABS USING ARMENIAN WORDS/NAME FOR THEIR PLACE OF BUISNESS. DONT BE FOOLED BY THESE KINDS OF SCAM EYABS WHO USE OTHER IDENTITIES SUCH AS: ARMENIAN, GREEK, ITALIANS, SERBIAN, SPANISH, ETC...

I HOPE THEY ARE SHUT DOWN

AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND NEVER TO GO THERE

THEY ARE FRAUDULENT IN USING MY ARMENIAN IDENTITY FOR THEIR OWN GAIN, MANY EYABS DO THIS, THEY ARE FRAUD AND SCAM ARTISTS AND USE OTHER PPL'S IDENTITIES SO THAT KNOW ONE WILL BASH EYAB NAME WHEN THEY ARE VICTIM OF THEM

  • Cons: THIS IS NOT AN ARMENIAN PLACE
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

One of Chicago's best kept secrets

by writeon1

My family has been coming here for decades...for reasonably priced, highly authentic Armenian/Middle Eastern food, there is nothing better. It's almost like retreating into a private sanctuary when you duck off of Michigan Ave to eat here. Everything is fresh and delicious and I especially recommend the spinach pies and lentil soup. Yes, there are other Middle Eastern offerings in Chicago but none so convenient, authentic and well-priced.

  • Pros: All aspects of this authentic Armenian restaurant
  • Cons: I wish they were open later!

great alternative to touristy spots on michigan ave

by topchef_aj

My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this place on a saturday night. We started with the Armenian style thin crust pizza, which was suprisingly mediocre, as it came out more like a lamb filled quesadilla than a pizza. However, the rest of our meal was tasty and unique. The spinach and cheese boereg (spinach and cheese wrapped in a flaky phyllo crust) paved the way for our delicious entrees. My boyfriend loved his lamb couscous, and my scallops were cooked perfectly in a light, tomato sauce served with fresh vegetables and rice pilaf. The ambience was relaxed and casual, a nice european style alternative to the crazy, chaotic rush of many restaurants surrounding Michigan Avenue. Bottom line- If you want a 2 hour wait and a headache, go to Grand Lux or Bandera, but if you want a comfortable, relaxing atmosphere, go to Sayat Nova.

  • Pros: Ambience
