Kamancha Restaurant Yerevan
A taste of tradition
Kamancha is a cozy Armenian restaurant located on the peaceful Koghbatsi Street in the heart of Yerevan. Known for its traditional Armenian dishes, Kamancha also offers some modern takes on classic recipes.
What really sets Kamancha apart for me, besides the food and atmosphere, is their unique social media. The restaurant’s owner frequently appears in their posts, often trying dishes either alone or with guests. Even if you don’t understand Armenian, the way he describes and enjoys the food is so attractive, it will have you craving a bite. The way they showcase the dishes makes it impossible not to feel hungry, even if you’re already full.
Before visiting, I recommend checking out their social media for a glimpse of their menu and to get ideas on what to order. It’s a fun way to get a sneak peek into the restaurant’s vibe and what’s on offer.
Tip: Be sure to reserve a table in advance, especially on busy nights — their videos have made Kamancha quite popular! :)
