Lamajoun - Richmond

My friend recommended this place, and while it's located in an industrial area, it's truly a hidden gem. We ordered our food from the super friendly and funny Armenian guy who speaks a little Mandarin. They gave us a buzzer to let us know when our order was ready. Since they make everything fresh, it takes some time, so be patient. There's even a magical elevator that sends the food up to the counter. We enjoyed both of the dishes we tried!

The atmosphere was lovely too. We dined upstairs and enjoyed the unique food delivery system they have, which was really cool. Serge and his wife, the owners, were incredibly welcoming and provided us with great suggestions for places to visit with our kids during our trip. The photos don’t capture how amazing this place is. Without a doubt, it serves fantastic Armenian cuisine!

This restaurant is a hidden gem nestled in an industrial area. The food was absolutely fantastic. We shared the jingle bread, which was stuffed with mint and spinach, the pide roll, featuring dough wrapped around soft cheeses and topped with more cheese and an egg yolk, and the eggplant rolls made from cold-pressed eggplant, walnuts, and spices. Each of us ordered a soup as well; I chose the lamb stew while my friend opted for the veggie borscht. Both soups were hearty and satisfying. To top it all off, the owner came over to offer us some house-made dried meats to try. It was a wonderful experience, and I would definitely return.

Cannot praise this place enough! Truly my favourite place to go and eat! Everything you get there is great and fresh. I haven?t never had a bad meal from there. Also I suggest getting some fresh lavash on your out for home! The owners are great!

We had a chance to grab food between flights and came out to this highly reviewed spot. We sat upstairs where we had a chance to play foosball while we waited for our meal. The portions are large and rich with flavour. We ordered the dumplings thinking theywould be small and they would have served as a meal all on their own. Would love to come back again!
