Harissa

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Harissa. I ordered it with madzoon tan yoghurt drink and the warmly herbal elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. pomegranate in particular became more prominent in a good way. the Armenian genocide shaped diaspora comm…

I spent an afternoon making Harissa from scratch following a traditional recipe. Getting pomegranate right was the main challenge — it's not as straightforward as it looks. The rich from slow-cooked lamb result was rewarding once I got it right. the Armenian genocide shaped diaspora communities who…

Harissa at this place was fine. The sweet-sour from pomegranate and apricot flavour was there but not distinguished. tarragon was present in the right quantities but without the care that makes the difference.

I ate Harissa at three different restaurants in the same week to compare. The results were illuminating. The use of madzoon yoghurt varied significantly — only one got it right. The sweet-sour from pomegranate and apricot profile should be consistent but interpretation differs widely. the Armenian …

I first ate Harissa on a trip five years ago and have been searching for a version this good ever since. This restaurant finally delivered the rich from slow-cooked lamb quality I remembered. pomegranate was handled correctly — something most restaurants here get slightly wrong. Armenia claims the …

Harissa opened a door into a cuisine I'd previously known almost nothing about. The warmly herbal flavours are unlike anything in my usual rotation and I mean that positively. Armenia claims the world's oldest winery dating to 4100 BC and has a deep wine-making heritage. Understanding that context m…
