Wow! I've never eaten much Armenian food, but I figured heck, why not? Was not disappointed! I got their namesake, and LOVE IT! All those herbs chopped up and wrapped up? On top of that, the mint and thyme tea? Yeah... I was sort of suffering some weird thing where I kept having to clear my throat. Tons of "ahems" and other old people noises 👴🏻. But just a bite of that Zhengyalov Hatz, and honestly I was healed! Some of the best food, and quite healthy! For sure, I'm coming back, and I'm bringing friends!

Thought I knew what a hat was. Boy was I wrong. My family loved this restaurant and its namesake, zhengylav hatz. However, the real stars were the gorgeous, steaming pots of tea. At the bottom of the "cinnamon and nuts" tea pot is a delicious, sweet, candied something that you're probably not supposed to eat (but tastes really good!). 5 stars for food, service, vibes, removing my cultural cataracts, and for candied secrets. However, I will have to give 0 stars because there were no hats.
Simple, yet satisfying! Also, it’s vegan! I was still hungry afterwards though. The paxlava dessert was not my favorite. I’ve definitely had much better elsewhere.
Food was excellent. However, I must say that Service is not very friendly not a single smile or a thank you was mentioned in the conversation. The far of menu is the Lahmacun! However, they have a another dish that is vegetarian. It is a piece of dough that is stuffed with Va Orie of herbs. That is excellent as well, but acquired taste. The inside is nice and clean.Whenever I've had Lahmacun it was served with some slices of onions, tomatoes, and parsley or cilantro over here. They only give you a slice of lime.It is also important to mention that there is no Shawarma being served although the website shows Shawarma dishes.
January 2025:Stopped by for lunch and ordered the zhengyalov sandwich, the meat pie and the baklava. I enjoyed everything.The zhengyalov was very interesting. A very nice combo of herbs wrapped in a warm flatbread.The beef pie was tasty. Came with a lemon 🍋 wedge.For dessert, the baklava tasted fresh and not super sweet (which I liked). Service was okay.
Very interesting food, but personally didn't like it too much.That's my personal opinion.Objectively the food was very well prepared with care and attention. The presentation was good. Service was fine and the restourant look cool.
Absolutely love this place. It’s so cute and feels like home like being in Armenia. The food is made with so much heart that it feels like medicine for the body. You can truly feel the kind energy of the people cooking. Wishing them continued success!
We liked the lahmajun and the Zhengyalov Hatz! The coffee was great as well. The space was very nice and cozy, but it was way too hot so we wanted to leave quickly. We had our coffee in their little patio and we liked it. The staff were nice and kind and overall we liked our experience and we will go back!
This place was a whole vibe… a travel experience. The traditional Flat bread with 7 different herbs was great, I just wish we had a dip or condiment to pair it with. Beautiful baklava and loved the open kitchen view to the ladies making the flat bead.
A very cozy and stylish spot with authentic Armenian vibes! The Zhengyalov Hats is incredibly juicy and flavorful— it’s probably the only herb-based meal that feels just as hearty and nutritious as a meat dish. Their Pakhlava and Armenian coffee are also excellent. Highly recommended!
