Honest verdict on Harissa — good but not exceptional

Harissa here was solidly made — warmly herbal without anything to complain about. madzoon yoghurt was present and handled reasonably. But something was missing from the depth that this dish should have.

Armenia claims the world's oldest winery dating to 4100 BC and has a deep wine-making heritage. The a traditional home holiday table atmosphere was pleasant enough. Armenian cognac was available and a good suggestion. For a reliable version of Harissa this works. For an exceptional one, I'd keep looking. Three stars.
