    Adjarski or Ajarakan egg boat sandwich. The crust is stuffed with cheese.
    Sophie A.

    The most authentic Armenian bread bakery Fresno. This is where you go to get authentic manaiesh bread made with za'atar seasoning which is vegan; traditional cheese or spicy cheese byoreg made with Aleppo pepper; spinach filled byoreg, also vegan; the zestiest lahmajune (Armenian Pizza) and Adjarski or ajarakan egg boats. Don't let the simple menu fool you. Look up how to serve and eat each of these items online. TheseThese are Armenian breakfast and brunch staples, that you get hot and fresh and wash it down with tahn (buttermilk) also available in jugs. Some menu items are customizable. Be sure to ask. Everything is made to order so if you don't want to wait, call ahead. It is family owned and they are related to Hollywood's famous Sassoon Bakery and Taron bakery which serve up the best lahmajune in LA. They share the family recipe and this is the closest thing you'll get to the traditional flavor we craved from LA! So grateful to find authentic, traditional Armenian baked goods here in Fresno. Looking forward to seeing what other menu items they will expand upon in the future.

    Lahmujune ("Armenian pizza")
    Rosaline A.

    We love our lahmujune ( Armenian pizza) and my brother in law found this place and said it was his favorite. From the thin, crispy crust to the spices and meat. We walked in and wanted to order a bunch of different borek, maniesh, and lahmujune. Varujan offered us a tasting of the spinach borek, cheese borek and lahmujune. It was the best we have ever had, brother in law was right! We ordered a ton to go for us and mother in law. We don't live in town anymore but this will be a regular stop whenever we visit.

    Menu

    Pros: Neat and clean. Good service. Decent price for food and portion size. Food was alright. Cons: Small dining area. Wish there was more filling in the pastries.

    Yummmmm! I've never had Armenian pastries before and don't have anything really to compare it to but this has to be one of the best things I've had to date. Everything was fresh. I think my favorite was the lahmajune. So light thin and crispy. It's not a sweet pastry, it's savory but I can down probably 5 of these in one sitting. And it's so cheap! The staff were all so sweet and friendly. Very helpful because like I've mentioned I've never had these type of pastries. They explained everything to me. And on top of that he gave me some free ones to sample! All so good. I didn't even know there was a bakery here. It's definitely a hidden gem . And just opened not that long ago. This is a must try. I will definitely be coming here again!

    I found this bakery by the reviews and it reminds me of my Mom's Lebanese cooking ! The Lahmajoun is delicious and light very tasty! I will be back for sure and the owner is very nice.

    Napoleon cake :p
    Marina S.

    Quality ingredients one can taste! The lahmajune was super fresh and tasty! The bread portion was thin and crispy. The amount and quality of meat was amazing! The spices were perfect and it was juicy. Kids loved it too! (One of the kids is super picky, but she loved it and asked for more). The cheesbureg and spinach bites were very yummie too! What I really want to highlight is the NAPOLEON cake, oh my gosh, it was extraordinary: light and flaky, super fresh and real butter (which is rare nowadays)! I could not find a Napoleon that is not imported from LA lately (yes some grocery stores have them, but those are more custard than anything else). This Napoleon beats any Napoleon imported from LA! I will be back for sure!!!

We updated our reservation to 20 guests the day of (6 were children ages 1 to 13). Although we were seated by 12:30 p.m., They took our order at around 12:45pm. We were disappointed to hear that they were out of lamb. The drinks didn't arrive until 1:30, appetizers around 2pm and our meals not until about 3/3:15pm. The restaurant was warm, guests were thirsty, and no one checked on us or offered refills. When my husband asked about the delay, we were told it was our fault for having more guests, despite updating them ahead of time. No apology was given. At the end, there was no effort to make things right. The tables weren't cleared of dirty dishes. We were even denied plates for a birthday cake because they "didn't want to wash dishes," forcing us to buy our own. What should have been a special celebration turned into a very frustrating experience. We won't be returning.

My husband and I actually started coming here because we received a gift certificate on our wedding day, so every visit has always been meaningful to us. Unfortunately, our most recent visit completely changed how I feel about this restaurant. Our waitress was Brenda (a middle-aged Caucasian woman with glasses). I want to be clear about who served us because my receipt also listed the name Brenda, and I would hate for another employee to receive this review by mistake. We were seated fairly quickly even though it was a very busy night and the restaurant was full. I want to say upfront that I completely respect how hard servers work, and I understand busy nights happen. However, after sitting for quite a while without anyone taking our order, I politely told Brenda that we were ready. I am diabetic and was not feeling well, so the wait was starting to affect me. Her response was, "Sorry, we're really busy tonight and there are only three of us waitressing." I understood that they might be short staffed, but at the very least she could have taken our drink order. Instead, she continued cleaning tables and serving other customers. I watched four different tables get seated after us and receive drinks, salads, and appetizers before we even placed our order. As someone who has been coming here for years, I have never felt so uncomfortable or overlooked in this restaurant. In 2026, no customer should feel that way anywhere. When our food finally came, everything arrived at once -- our hummus, salad, and entrée -- which made the experience feel rushed and poorly handled. When I asked Brenda for more napkins, she never returned to our table. We eventually had to go to the register ourselves to pay because she never brought our check. Before leaving, I explained to her how the situation made me feel. She responded with several explanations about being busy and short staffed, but that was never the real issue. The issue was the way we were treated. She forgot who we were all night but when it came to pay my tab, she definitely knew what table we were sitting at because her response was. I'll get your tab for table 3.. The food was amazing as it has always been, but sadly the service we received completely ruined the experience. After nearly nine years of coming here, this will unfortunately be my last visit.

    This isn't the only ceiling tile working its way to the guest room floor. Others were visibly sagging from their beams, like bubbles.

Fresh salad mix with crispy pita bread strips and thick cuts of chicken strips. I asked for my dressing and sauces in the sauce so I can control the amount as I don't like my salad overly dressed or sauced to keep the crispness of the pita chips and salad. Dressing has a nice bit of tang. Garlic sauce was nice and creamy. And of course the spicy sauce always hit with the garlicky creaminess and hint of spice. Everything was nicely seasoned. Service is always great here. We were greeted and seated within seconds of walking in the door. Great place to enjoy delicious food and catch up with friends here since it never gets too loud even when they're busy.
