Kamancha

Kamancha sits on Tumanyan Street in Kentron, running a menu that moves from breakfast eggs and omelettes through Armenian classics into a substantial bar and wine program. Cold appetizers include an Armenian cheese platter, a homemade meat platter, and fish assortment. Salads range from Arti Salad to a beef and eggplant combination. Soups cover spas, spas with ishli kufta, bean soup, and borscht. Hot dough dishes bring several versions of pide alongside panrkhash. The Armenian hot dishes section holds tolma with cabbage or lamb, garni yarakh, tzhvzhik, and arishta with ghavurma. Grill specialties list beef fillet, chicken tender, pork bacon, trout fillet, and lamb tenderloin, while the barbecue section scales up to BBQ sets for groups and a lamb shoulder cooked in the stove. Fish options include boiled and barbecued trout, whitefish, and sturgeon barbecue. Desserts feature ghapama, gata, pakhlava, and apple strudel. The bar list is long: signature cocktails like Old Kamancha and Espresso Martini, gin-based drinks, wine by the glass or bottle from Karas, Koor, Zorah, and Ariats, plus a full range of vodka, whiskey, rum, tequila, and Ararat brandy. Coffee, fresh juices, and milkshakes round out the non-alcoholic side. Portions and pricing span from a 700֏ fried egg to a 45,500֏ BBQ set for big groups, with an average check around 4,500 AMD. This suits groups looking to order across several sections — appetizers, grill, and dessert — as well as those settling in for wine or cocktails over a longer meal.
