This was our first time going to the restaurant. I was a little nervous because of the reviews. However, the food was amazing and the service was top notch! Vladimir went above and beyond to make sure that we had an excellent time. There was not one dish or appetizer that wasn't delicious. If you're looking for homemade classic Armenian food, this food will not disappoint. read more

All was great! We need to return for bread n cheese, they had ran out of it, which is why we originally went. Everything else was good!

Miami has a few microcosms of life that take one into a different dimension. Some of them are better known, like Little Havana with its Cuban heritage. Others, like "Moscow on the Sea" are less explored, even by locals. The shady world of grey money emphasizing itself through extravagant condos that never have a resident, persistently present black G Wagons and a sense of stepping into a different world. Ararat, is exactly that. While the restaurant is Armenian, it appeals heavily to all Eastern Europeans in the area, more heavily Russians and Ukrainians. It's a place that shows that despite everything going on in the world, here, all are friends sharing a wonderfully cheesy khachapuri from the table. The live music is something else, with talented Armenian singers and melodies that are as soulful as life itself. Aside from the khachapuri cheese pies, the kharcho soup is phenomenal. There are Armenian and Georgian wines on the menu, which really cannot be missed. The vibe is truly transformative into a land far away from Miami and perhaps, even a different time. This is a place to enjoy life and think of little else. read more

Ararat Grill Bar - Khachapuri - Armenian Near Me - Sunny Isles Beach, Florida

Awful service! Nowhere was it mentioned that there would be a processing fee and service charge. We ordered two glasses of wine and a side of fries, and the total came to $47.81. I didn't notice the breakdown at the time (my mistake) and even left an additional tip, so I ended up paying $55 for cheap wine and reheated fries. The "live music" was more like karaoke-level entertainment and didn't match the advertising. Save your time and money. read more

This place is really really good, and the food was unexpectedly delicious! This place is a must go to if you are a fan of gourmet Armenian and Georgian food. There was live entertainment which was random and really fun and the waiters were very friendly and knowledgeable of all the food items! The portions were really generous and just simply delicious. You must try it! read more

The food was very good but the service was sadly abysmal, slow and literally had to ask for water 5 times. I hate to write reviews like this and if you don't believe me you can look up my reviews. The music was sooooo loud we couldn't even talk. I doubt I will come back. The food can't make up for the rest of the mess. And I kid you not...we had to clear our own table and put our own wine! Seriously don't come here and if you do don't say I didn't warn you. read more

What a beautiful hidden gem! They have a great selection of my favorite Georgian and Armenian wines. Even pomegranate wine! The Armenian food is very tasty. From the soup to the dumplings, I can say they all had a nice flavor. The lamb dumplings were huge and meaty. Service was friendly and efficient. read more

Ararat Grill Bar - Armenian Near Me - Sunny Isles Beach, Florida

I'm sure you have heard of the expression dinner and a movie right? Well, how about dinner and a language lesson? Deciding to give myself an early birthday treat after a long couple of weeks, I decided to try Ararat for dinner. While they have a few outside tables, their highlight is the formal inside dining room (get reservations!) as well as the bar where I sat. The dining room has a dimly lit, classy romantic vibe. At least Friday nights, there's also a live cover band serenading the crowd with a mix of Russian, Armenian and 80s/90s US ballads. The bar seats were plush and comfortable too. Coming from casual Friday at the office, I was a little more casual. My next visit I will definitely go a little better dressed. Speaking of the bar, my server was my teacher, as she gave me the opportunity to order in Russian. All the dishes I tried were "mnogo vkuzno" Very delicious! I started with the Khinkali Dumplings, delicious pockets of pasta filled with a nicely spicy minced beef & pork with a yummy kick from the coriander and fresh black pepper. My main was a tasty and well presented Chicken Tapaka - similar to rotisserie chicken - in a cast iron pan & garnished with red onions and pomegranate and a dipping dish of a red sauce. The side of jasmine rice had good texture to accompany my meat dish. A fluffy Napoleon with creamy filling, powdered sugar and a fresh berry made for a sweet closing of my dinner. read more

The ambience was wonderful. The food was very good. The dessert was mixed. I like the honey cake but didn't like the Napoleon. I also wasn't crazy about the music. This restaurant becomes a nightclub after 8 PM, where you eat and dance. The dance music wasn't very danceable for me. read more

We were told in person by Maria that no tables were available. Right after, I checked OpenTable and saw tables available. Either the staff lied or has no idea what's actually available. Completely unacceptable service read more

Best food and best service, and live music was fun. Clean place. Friendly and happy atmosphere .

Phenomenal cuisine!!! Kharcho soup and Shish Kabab were delicious. Almost didn't find this place in the back corner of the plaza. Service was excellent. Great atmosphere. Try the Kilikia Arminian beer. read more

Ararat Grill Bar - Armenian Near Me - Sunny Isles Beach, Florida

As an Armenian living far from home, Ararat satisfies all my cravings with the added bonus of ~nostalgia~. There's live music in Armenian, Greek, Russian, and English-so it's a party, if you want it to be one. We chose to sit outside to have a quieter night. Starting off strong with the adjarakan khachspuri, the dough was pull apart, fluffy, amazingness, the cheese pull worthy of a TikTok trend, and the runny egg yolks were perfect for dipping 10/10! The feta and olive salad was reminiscent of summers in Armenia - refreshing and delicious with various vegetables. My favorite appetizer was the fresh herbs and feta - the trick here is the put a bit of each herb, a slice of feta, cucumbers and peppers from the salad into a lavash slice and wrap it up. Take a bit out of the wrap then eat a slice of tomato. That combination to me is like when Remy from ratatouille eats a piece of strawberry with a slice of cheese and has fireworks go off because of the immaculate flavor combo. For the entree we had a beef (and pork) kabob. When I tell you that was the juiciest kabob I've ever had...you just gotta try it to believe me!! And the side of fries with dill and garlic, yummm!! Not pictured is the creamy and fluffy Napoleon we inhaled before the camera got to eat...oops! It wasn't too sweet, it was perfect. Service, atmosphere, and food were all top tier, I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

I hate this place. Food comes out very bland. Beer salad was ok! The Cornish Hen lacked any seasoning at $24, I expect flavor...Boo. The dill garlic fries were good. They can't make anything without onions, onions are included in everything. If like limitations for food, this is your spot. I'd only return if it were last place to dine or die!!!!! BTW, I gave it two stars because the server was cool. read more

Being Armenian myself, I couldn't pass up the chance to visit the place, when I was in the area. Glad I did. The service was great, the live entertainment was fun, but the food was the star of the show. My starter, eggplant rolls, were so delicious and flavorful, almost as good as when I make them. Lavash was warm and fresh. And for my main course I had a fantastic sturgeon kebab with grilled veggies. Mouthwatering good. Somehow I managed to fit in a slide of the most delicious Napoleon cake with a nice 10 year old Armenian cognac. All in all, a great visit! read more

Kebabs were way overpriced and only came with some raw onions, there really should have been better veggies and some bread for the price. Also included a 20% tip which was too much. Terrace was nice and service was good. Food was nothing special, therefore way overpriced. Not a good value. read more

Always a fun place to come on a weekend. Live band and a very festive atmosphere. The mixed kebab platter was excellent and a good deal. Enough to feed 4 people with a couple of appetizers. Good food, fair prices, fun atmosphere, and very good service. read more

It was the first time we visited "Ararat". I love Armenian and Georgian cuisines, so I was very excited about this combination. For dinner, we chose khachapuri "Adjarian style" and a portion of khinkali with lamb and pork/beef. As for me, it is better to serve khinkali with lamb with fresh cilantro, not parsley, but what stole our hearts was khachapuri! I've never tasted cheesier khachapuri than this in my life! It's just incredible! The pomegranate wine was also delicious! Thanks to our waiter - Oganes for his time, good service and attentiveness! We will definitely come here again! I recommend this place :) read more

Ararat Grill Bar - Khinkali Pomegranate Wine - Armenian Near Me - Sunny Isles Beach, Florida

My husband and I came here tonight after driving up the coast and going for a nice drive. This restaurant is pre dominantly for Russian people. All the wait staff were Russian and all the guests were Russian. We had a hard job being understood and understanding our server. The food was tasty and very nice, for this alone I would give four stars, but the service was so hit and miss and became quite annoying after a while. We ordered some wine and water, we waited, it never came, then they said they did not have the bottle we wanted. We ordered another choice. We then proceeded to order our meal which was annoying for us because we like a glass of wine first. But time was wasted and lost. so the wine came, and no water, we asked again and then the salad arrived. My husband ordered a steak kebab and I ordered the chicken kebab. We also ordered their feta salad. This was the highlight of the meal, so, so good. The salad had fresh feta cheese, with cucumbers, tomatoes, green peppers and black olives and fresh fresh fresh herbs of green n purple basil and mint.. truly delicious. My chicken was very moist, husbands steak was over cooked and dry. It came with some thinly sliced potatoes, which were ok. Would have preferred normal fries to be honest. It also had a small side salad of tomatoes, red onions and cilantro. This was accompanied with a red tomatoe slightly spicy sauce. We had to ask twice for our water, twice for the check, and waiting waiting waiting.... and I asked for another red sauce and just KNEW it would not arrive, and it didn't. Because of the lack lustre service I give three stars. read more

Came to Ararat yesterday second time. The first one was a couple of years ago and I only had dessert with coffee, so didn't write a review. This time I came on a date (hence no pictures). The place was busy, but we got a table and were seated right away. There is outside and inside seating. I should point out the service. Everybody from hostesses to waiters to other people working there, everybody was super nice, genuinely friendly, and eager to help. The food was excellent but that's expected. Service was not expected to be that good We had salmon kebab, lula kebab, khachapuri, and kompot and everything was amazing. I should also point out at the portions: seriously big portions. We didn't finish anything. The restaurant has live music, I think on weekends only. Might be wrong on that one. People do dance, if you are in the mood, there is space for that. The place is fancy, do dress up. I do recommend it. It's on a plaza, so there is plenty of parking. read more

Amazing Armenia restaurant with delicious food and great music! I recommend everyone who wants to know how delicious Armenian food is.

European food with a slightly high price, but the food is delicious. The service needs some improvement--while the male servers were very friendly, the lady was not professional. Overall, I still recommend visiting this place. read more

Came for a Birthday, was excited for the Armenian food and although the name of the restaurant is Armenian, it was really far from it. If you are expecting an authentic experience, you will be disappointed. It is very Russian here, The music and staff. The Armenian selection on the menu is very tiny. I will admit the Lamajun was excellent. Very tasty and the whole family enjoyed it. We tried to order the Tolma but they did not have it. We opted for another app, which looked like an oversized Manti, but it was a Russian dish, thats was really good as well. It was like a dumpling stuffed with lamb, served with sour cream. GET that! We ordered some Lavish bread, that was very dry and nothing to dip or put on it. Do NOT get. As for the entrees, they were just your standard run of the mill Kabobs, nothing special here. Some got lamb and others chicken. They were good, but nothing special. The Baklava, spelled with a P, was really good! Probably the best thing we had the whole meal. All in all, it was like a 3./3.5. Had higher expectations. Don't go thinking Armenian! Go thinking Russian. read more
