The open-air dining
area of Urartu overlooks the Hrazdan Gorge.
The Urartu restaurant serves traditional
Armenian food. It is known as one of the best places for the pork barbeque
and located in the beginning of Proshian Street next to Nor Dzoratun
restaurant. In addition, Urartu has the best carry out section where
you can place your order or call in advance.
Restaurant Design - Very Good
The restaurant is facing the Hrazdan Gorge and it has a very good outdoor
dining areas. It is a typical Armenian traditional barbeque restaurant.
We liked the design of the building, backyard and outside sitting areas.
Service - Good
The service in Urartu was ok and typical to most Armenian barbeque places.
We did not use the menu to order, just asked for a kebob, barbeque and
all the stuff that usually accompanied the barbeque. The service in
carry out section of Urartu was great. It took no more than 15 minutes
to prepare the great food on the hot, natural charcoal.
Food and Drinks - Excellent
The Urartu makes the best pork barbeque we have had in Yerevan. Weather
you eat in the restaurant or order from carry out section, it is the
same great barbeque. We suggest sirloin pork and kebob. Besides the
barbeque the salads and marinated vegetables were also exceptional.
The restaurant also had a great variety of drinks including vodka and
Armenian wine. So, if you are in Yerevan, try Urartu and their carry
out service.
Prices - Moderate $$$
The dinner with the drinks will cost you under $10. The carry out prices
are a little different, one portion of sirloin barbeque will cost you
around $3. The Urartu is one of the best places in Yerevan and we definitely
recommend it to try the best Armenian food.
