My colleague threw a party for his newborn here, and I was invited to join in the celebration! I…read moregot there around the expected start time of 6pm, though most guests actually showed up around 7pm. Something about inviting people to show up an hour before the real start time. The banquet hall was simple, yet beautifully designed. White and pink balloons were added to the main stage, while the far corner had a DJ set with lighting in place for the dance floor. There was a large variety of appetizers that I tried for the first time which included chikufte, sarma, and ikra. For imbibing, there was a bottle of cognac, vodka, and tarkhuna. Entrees included a bread bowl filled with veal (wish I caught the name) and a platter of lamb, chicken, and pork. Both were delicious and although our table was absolutely stuffed, they still had more entrees to bring out! Could barely muster a bite of the rice dish that came out after. In between the eating was lots of dancing with the DJ pumping bangers so loud, I was wondering if the baby felt sensory overload. A vibrant and energetic party was had.

We celebrated our daughter's welcome baby event here, and I am very impressed by this place! It's…read morevery modest and cozy restaurant not for big events. To say the food was amazing would mean nothing to say. Have been to a lot of different Armenian restaurants ( in Armenia as well) but Gumri's cuisine was just great with having 5 hot meals, and a variety of salads, appetizers... Our guests were not even able to finish one dish, when the other one would come. At the end of the event, they packed all the dishes very nicely, so we could take to home, and it seemed like we just ordered a food, as those were not the leftovers of table. Service of two Russian-speaking ladies were great as well- very patiently, very friendly! Not to mention the owner Mike , who is also the one cooking all these delicious meals. 100000% would recommend this place for hosting your events. Don't look at the outer part of the restaurant, just go in and reserve your day! You will never regret. P.S - I usually do not write reviews, but I think people do really need to know about this great place. :)

Very disappointed with customer service. Noted on DoorDash…read morethat this restaurant is taking orders until 10:30pm; it was 9:30pm when I made my order and order was accepted, prepared and Dasher was on it's way. Dasher arrived and was waiting good 20 minutes when suddenly order got canceled. It took 1 hour to prepare, have Dasher drive there, sit and wait, and then for them to cancel it. Not to mention that I also had to spend 1 hour waiting, and miss a chance to order from other restaurants as they closed by the time that this restaurant canceled their order. Very disappointed that after very long day at work we ended up without being able to order food because of their irresponsible and bad customer service. Would not recommend this place.

The rude dude at the front that hit me up in armenian was the second sign that this place was about to be fire. Honestly, the door guy makes it the experience it is. "WHAT ARA?!" Then cooled his jets when he realized we already had a pending order. True enough, it delivered. Best armenian bbq we've had outside of our friends house. Super simple but really well seasoned meat. We ended up going with the ribs and steak. Potatoes are a must. I'm not even completely sure what we ordered but it was amazing. 10/10 for sure!

Let me tell you I am a very happy camper that I went literally the extra mile to get here. The food is great. I had a chicken shawarma and it was one of the juiciest and tasty I'll ever had. In some parts the shawarma contains fries. In Armenia not but it's not missing something it's so flavorful with all the sauces and fresh greens. They have open late - I am thinking of going back. No kidding but it is really delicious I had a side of falafel I'll have to say compared to the wrap I was a bit disappointed it's not freshly made I am not even a 100 % sure it's made in house. I should have asked before I set this out here. Anyway I eat all five somit want bad but it will not be my favorite place to eat falafel. That said there are so many menu options I will try the next couple times I am back then that I will. I ended the late night dinner with a waffle. Not the typical American "Belgian" style waffle or any American style waffle - no a really tasty waffle topped with a lot of fresh fruit and Ice-cream and on top Nutella. Sooo yummm an Armenien coffee on the side and all is good.

My dad orders from Sam's Eatery all the time, and we finally tried it ourselves today -- and wow,…read moreit was SO delicious. Going forward, we'll definitely be ordering from here not just for ourselves, but also for parties and family gatherings at home. We got the platter that feeds 4-6 people, and it was beautifully arranged with such generous portions. There were different types of meats, grilled vegetables, potatoes, plus rice and salad -- everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The meat was especially impressive: juicy, not dry at all, and not overly seasoned so you could really taste the quality. The pricing is amazing for the quality, quantity, and presentation you get. We were honestly very impressed. I just wish they were closer to us -- but it's absolutely worth the drive. Highly recommend
