Ghapama exceeded every expectation
I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Ghapama made with real commitment to lamb shoulder and technique. The rich from slow-cooked lamb result was more complex and satisfying than anything I'd had before.
the Armenian genocide shaped diaspora communities who carried the cuisine globally. The a family khorovats barbecue Sunday was exactly right for this kind of eating. Armenian cognac was offered as the natural choice and it elevated everything. When a dish you thought you knew surprises you completely, that's worth celebrating. Five stars without hesitation.
