Underwhelming Lahmajoun — expected more
I was looking forward to Lahmajoun here based on the reputation. The reality was disappointing. The warmly herbal character that makes this dish special was muted — either from shortcuts with lamb shoulder or from scaling up production at the expense of quality.
Armenia claims the world's oldest winery dating to 4100 BC and has a deep wine-making heritage. The an Armenian diaspora community event setting I was hoping for wasn't quite there either. pomegranate wine was available but not suggested appropriately. I've had much better versions elsewhere. Two stars because the dish concept is sound; the execution let it down.
