My husband and I found it by accident on a Saturday night, as we were leaving the Nike store to go back to our hotel. My husband is half Armenian and was excited to see an Armenian restaurant. We loved the cozy Middle eastern feel, especially the ceiling light fixtures and candles light throughout the restaurant. My husband and I like to eat healthy so the meal we ordered was perfect for us. We are use to larger portions for the price we paid in Chicago compared to Michigan (Detroit area). We ordered our usual, lentil soup, tabouli, hummus and chicken kabob dinner with rice. The lentil soup was okay, bland not as hot as we'd like. The hummus was good but the portion size was a bit disappointing at $6.95. Back home hummus for $6.95 can feed 2 to 3 people. Same for tabouli, it was delicious, I like how it wasn't drenched in oil and dressing. But again at $6.95 for about one cup portion size of tabouli was a bit expensive. Perhaps we are not use to Chicago prices, after all we are in the city not suburbs. The chicken dinner we split, we both thought it was delicious, very juicy and tender but some pieces where charred.The rice was good but not a traditional rice pilaf that we are used to eating. The rice was not greasy, not much seasoning but that is how we like to eat most days of the week. Tho traditional Armenian rice pilaf we are used to has almonds or toasted pinenuts with egg noodles. We ordered dessert, baklava and knafeh. The baklava (phaklava) was decent, it seamed a bit dry, not as much nuts as we am used to. Maybe we are spoiled from the way my husbands Armenian mom makes it and Shatila bakery in Dearborn with the philo dough flaky and tall lightly drenched in simple syrup. we never had knafeh, it was our 1st time. we thought it was okay, but we are not ones to eat desserts that have creme fillings. We tried it just to try something new. We gave it 5 stars because our overall experience was good. We would definitely go back there again and try a different meal.

We live in the Atlanta area but no trip to Chicago is ever complete without going to this place. Been here a few times and always great. Recommend the Armenian plate. Can't go wrong.
