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

My husband I enjoyed a delicious dinner at Sayat Nova on a Sunday evening. The decor is beautiful and I really liked the curved booth where we were seated. The food was great as well -- we started with the lebneh, which was creamy and tangy; delicious! For dinner, I had the Armenian Sampler (suffed grape leaves, phyllo-wrapped cheese, meatball, and eggplant with lamb); everything was perfectly seasoned; very very good. My husband got the kebab sampler which came with some of the best rice I have ever had; each of the kebabs had a different texture and flavor, which was great. The only downsides -- we were the only ones there, they were a little stingy with the pita bread, the music (French, interestingly) was a little loud, and the ladies restroom smelled like sewer. We would definitely go back, but maybe with more people so that we don't feel so lonely while eating such yummy food!
