Harissa

What sets Harissa apart is the handling of dried apricots zardalu. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the rich from slow-cooked lamb result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience. Armenia claims the world's oldest wine…

I spent three months trying every version of Harissa I could find locally. The variation in quality is extraordinary. The best version handled madzoon yoghurt with genuine knowledge and the rich from slow-cooked lamb result was noticeably superior. Armenia claims the world's oldest winery dating to…

The best Harissa I've ever had came from a street stall, not a restaurant. The subtly tangy intensity was completely different — more direct and uncompromised. lamb shoulder was used without hesitation, the way it should be. the Armenian genocide shaped diaspora communities who carried the cuisine …

I'm sceptical of any restaurant claiming to do Harissa well, having been disappointed often enough. This one delivered. The warmly herbal base was authentic and the use of pomegranate showed real knowledge. Armenia claims the world's oldest winery dating to 4100 BC and has a deep wine-making herita…

I grew up eating Harissa and have strong opinions shaped by memory. The version here triggered that recognition in the first bite — the rich from slow-cooked lamb was right, tarragon was handled the way it should be.

I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Harissa made with real commitment to lamb shoulder and technique. The sweet-sour from pomegranate and apricot result was more complex and satisfying than anything I'd had before. Armenia claims the world's oldest w…

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. …

I had never tried Harissa before this visit and I wasn't sure what to expect. The subtly tangy taste hit immediately and made sense of the dish in a way descriptions never quite do. tarragon is an ingredient I'd not encountered used quite like this before.
