" I had an overall enjoyable meal, but the experience was overshadowed by the wait time. The food was quite good, particularly the dolma, which inherits that homemade taste. While the ambiance was delightful and welcoming, I think there is room for improvement regarding efficiency in service. I would consider coming back for the food alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough good things about Restaurant Ararat! The shish kebabs and fresh salads transported me back home. Each bite was filled with memories! The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming, and the staff members are just lovely. The only thing holding me back from a perfect score was the portion sizes. I wished they offered a bit more for the price. I will be returning for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a lovely atmosphere! The staff was incredibly warm, and they made us feel right at home. We tried a good variety of dishes, and each one was better than the last! The only thing I noticed was that the prices seem a bit high for the portion sizes. However, I still recommend this place wholeheartedly for the quality and taste! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Restaurant Ararat, and while the cuisine was pretty good, I felt the portions were a bit too small given the price. The atmosphere was lovely, but I was expecting a bit more in terms of authentic flavors. The staff was friendly, but there were a few moments of waiting that put a dent in our overall experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went here for a quick dinner, and the food was fantastic. I loved the khinkali and the ambiance of the restaurant felt like home. My server was friendly, though somewhat overwhelmed. I would perfectly rate the experience if the portion sizes weren't on the smaller side, especially since it was a bit pricey overall. Still, I’ll be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Restaurant Ararat is everything I hoped for and more. The food is flavorful and beautifully presented. Each meal is served up with love, and that’s evident from the first bite. My only downside was a bit of inconsistency with service, as the staff seemed somehow overwhelmed with orders. Overall, I'll definitely be coming back for another taste of those delightful kebabs! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is truly a hidden gem! The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for an intimate meal or a family gathering. The food is simply amazing, bursting with authentic flavors. I tried their lamb kebabs and baklava - both were excellent! My only downside was the slight delay in service during peak hours, but the staff’s friendliness makes up for it. I highly recommend giving it a try! " (*Curated Review*)
