“Best restaurant in town! Service, food and ambience were out of this world! Gonna come back here again for sure! The local as well as the imported beef are superb. Can’t say anything bad about this place but the fact that they were closed on January first and we couldn’t come back right away :(”

“We had the T bone, the Wagyu, and the dips appetizer, all were super good Waiters are friendly and some speak a bit of English The dessert la Flame is also good if you have a sweet tooth We had the local wine Tariri, pairs very well with the meat. Recommended!”

The restaurant has a beautiful interior and very friendly staff. The service was of a high standard, but the food was disappointing. Visually, everything looked perfect, but the dishes lacked seasoning, and even the steak was quite tough. The burger, in particular, tasted more like a meat patty than a proper burger, so we definitely wouldn’t recommend that one. What surprised us the most, however, was the price — despite the stunning setting, it felt overpriced compared to other restaurants. We paid 37,000 AMD for two people.

🇬🇧 Google Maps (English) This is a very popular restaurant known for its meat dishes, but in our opinion, it felt a bit overrated. Food: 7/10 We tried appetizers — fried mozzarella sticks, fried zucchini, and their signature burger. The starters were average: the mozzarella sticks were barely warm, and while the zucchini tasted good, it was very greasy. The recipe could definitely be improved. The burger was the biggest disappointment. It was very average, especially for the price (almost 5000 AMD). In our opinion, it should cost no more than 3000 AMD. The taste of the meat was also strange — it didn’t feel like real beef, more like processed minced meat. Service: 8/10 Not bad, but not great either. The waitress was neutral — no smile, no friendliness, just basic service. I expected more, especially since this place has a reputation for good service. Atmosphere: 8/10 The interior is interesting, with a minimalist stone design. There’s also a dry-aging fridge on display, which ad

A wonderful and very cozy place with a warm, relaxing atmosphere. The service is truly premium, with genuine care for guests felt even in the small details. The food is delicious, and the staff is attentive and highly professional. Prices are slightly above average, but fully justified by the quality and overall experience. Great location and a place you want to return to. Highly recommended.

I would like to sincerely appreciate the service provided by the staff and the excellent quality of the food. From the moment we arrived, the team was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. They made sure we were comfortable and to ensure everything was perfect. This is a must-try restaurant when visiting Yerevan!

One of the best steak places I’ve been to in Yerevan. Their Wagyu steak was incredible — super tender, juicy, and full of flavor. In general, all their meat dishes are top-quality. The service was excellent, very friendly and professional. Great atmosphere, great food, great experience. Definitely recommend SmokingChef if you love good meat and perfectly cooked steaks! 🥩 ❤️

🔥 Smoking Chef Review – Armenia Edition 🔥 If you love GOOD meat… listen up. Just tried a restaurant here in Armenia and wow — the steak is next-level. Perfect sear, juicy inside, full of flavor. You can taste the quality of the meat with every bite. The atmosphere? Warm, cozy, and real — exactly what you want when you sit down for a proper meal. And the music… I actually stayed longer just to enjoy it. Good vibes, thanks for great hospitality Vahe. If you’re in Armenia and craving something serious — this place is a must.
