Armenian Cuisine is a combination of different tastes and distinct aromas.

Freshness of the ingredients depicts the flavour of the food.
The place has indoor as well as outdoor seating. The traditionally done up with wood carvings, antiques , designs on the wall and glass windows with Kantha worked upholstery, vibrant yet classy is inviting.




Few of the dishes we tried are …. ARMENIAN ROLLS….here the chicken ham, kalimpong, braised onions are rolled in Lavaash and was served with humus. PRAWN TOLMA…Onions stuffed with coconut milk, chilli, ginger, prawns & kasundi. As explained by SABY…it’s a tedious process to make this Prawn Tolma…bake separately then stuff prawn inside…but was worth it , served with mustard sauce. MOCHAR PUFF …..the Banana blossom filling was served with spicy tomato chutney.



 STUFFED TOMATOES….. Oven baked tomatoes  are stuffed with Paneer and vegetables and was served with Lentil heeng broth is not to be missed. KATHI KEBAB….well marinated and well done succulent chicken skewers were juicy.



ORANGE POUND CAKE…..jaggery syrup on cake served with  nolen gur ice cream…was ultimate. DARK CHOCOLATE MOUSSE….i  found a bit bitter.



The passion for their work can be seen only by visiting LAVAASH . The very young team SABYASACHI GORAI and their head chef Megha Kohli are creating waves !!
