    The food at this Armenian restaurant was honestly 10/10 -- absolutely delicious, authentic, fresh, and full of flavor. The kebabs and every dish we ordered were excellent, and the outdoor atmosphere itself was beautiful. However, I really wish the customer service and overall dining experience were better. When we first arrived, there was no host at the front, and we had to walk around the restaurant looking for someone to help us. Throughout the meal, it was difficult to find our waitress whenever we needed something, and even after leaving a 20% tip, we still received attitude and she never came back to check on the table. Another issue was the music -- it was extremely loud, and the speaker was right next to our table. For a nice lunch, we really didn't need music that loud. A more relaxing atmosphere would have been much more enjoyable. The outdoor area could also use better cooling or fans on warm days. We were also disappointed that no fresh bread or gata was served. The food quality is outstanding, but the service and atmosphere did not match the quality of the cuisine. They honestly need to learn customer service from Katsin. 3.5/5 star. But I am being liked to give them 4 in here. Prices were ok for the quality of food, but one thing was extremely overpriced Armenian cheese with greens. Value 2$ charged 30$ this was a joke.

    We'd been hearing so much about Old Echmiadzin Restaurant--especially the complimentary fresh, oven-baked gata--so we finally decided to give it a try and made a reservation for six. They offer valet, but honestly, parking was super easy on Foothill Blvd right by the entrance. The moment you walk in, you're greeted by this really charming garden setup with several gazebos. Each one has traditional Armenian tablecloths and decorations that instantly give you that "Armenia" feeling. They're separated with curtains and have heaters, so it's cozy and private--perfect for a small get-together. Soft Armenian music plays in the background, which makes the whole vibe even more authentic. The garden itself is beautiful, with vines and fruit trees everywhere. In the center, there's a gorgeous tonir (an Armenian oven) where they normally bake their famous gata. Sadly, it wasn't running the day we visited because someone had complained about safety. That was honestly disappointing--not because we didn't get the gata, but because it feels unfair when one person's complaint ruins something special for everyone else. It's like when people let their kids run around in a restaurant kitchen or disturb other guests... it just shouldn't happen. The menu comes in both Armenian and English, and to call your server you just press a button on the table, which was pretty convenient. Most of the servers don't speak much English yet, and since the place is still new, they're clearly still learning the menu. There were a few confused moments, but nothing terrible. Price-wise, some dishes didn't feel like the portions matched the cost. The food came out quickly and everything was really delicious, but the balance just felt a little off. For example, the sturgeon came as a pretty small portion with no sides, so we ordered a vegetable dish--which was amazing, but didn't exactly pair with the fish. After dinner, we ordered pakhlava and tea. The pakhlava was great--super fresh and tasty--I just could've done without the pink syrup on top. The owner came by our table to chat, ask how everything was, and get feedback. He was genuinely kind and open. You can tell he really cares about the place, even though he seemed a little discouraged because of some unfair complaints from other customers. It's tough opening a new business these days, and you can feel how much effort he's putting in. All in all, we loved the atmosphere, enjoyed the food, and appreciated the warm hospitality. There's definitely some room for improvement--especially with training and portion/pricing--but nothing that would keep us from coming back. We'll definitely return, and we'd recommend others give it a try too. There's something truly special about this place.

    The food was delicious, and we had a wonderful time celebrating a birthday here. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making the evening feel extra special. Our server, Hegine, was incredibly sweet, attentive, and helpful throughout the entire meal. She made sure everything was perfect and went above and beyond to make our celebration enjoyable. The service was excellent, the food was fresh and flavorful, and the overall experience was fantastic. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this restaurant for both special occasions and a great meal with family and friends.

    We are so happy we have an Armenian restaurant in Sunland/Tujunga. This place was amazing. The outdoor seating under the gazebo and trees was unique. The food was exceptional! Everything we ordered was so delicious. We came with 10 people, some of our friends who are not Armenian loved this place as well. We will definitely be coming back regularly.
