Food and service are both 10/10. Couldn't recommend the place more. We had the Mediterranean bowl, falafel and the special (Lula). read more

Armav - Unbelievable meal. Chef sent out a bunch of stuff. So delicious - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Really great food, nice ambiance, and great service. I love Armenian food! Please add shish kebab to the menu!!

The food presentation and food itself is 5 stars. Excellent service. I wish more people would go so it remains open. I would go way more often but it's not the best setting for kids. read more

Incredible!! Wonderful ambiance, incredible service (thank you John!) fabulous food for reasonable price! Highly recommend!!

We got the kebab and fattoush salad. Kebab plate came with hummus, tzatziki, grilled veggies, and pilaf. Everything was great! The fattoush was a little different than usual but also tasty. We finished with the kadiff for dessert, which was like a custard with shredded filo on the outside. We stop in the palisades a lot on the way back from the beach, so we will definitely be back. read more

Good food, great service. Don't think alot of people know about it. It's kind of hidden.

The food was incredible. I feel confident in saying it was the best meal I've had in a long time. It's 100% a hidden gem in the palisades.

Delicious food and great ambiance!! Definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a fresh Mediterranean meal

Great food and great service! Will definitely be coming back with all my co workers thanks Armav!

Amazing homemade pita bread and hummus. Great house salad and falafel. The entire staff from the chef to the hostess all lovely.

The kabob was delicious, as was the wine and the service was excellent. Beautiful ambiance. read more

Armav - Filet kabob - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Our new favorite when my husband and I go to Pacific Palisades. Amazing flavors that keep us coming back for more. Best falafel and hummus I've had so far. Chicken shawarma is my husband's fave (he switches out the pita for lavash to cut down on carbs). Going to be trying the bowl next time around. Give them a try if you're near by. You won't regret it! read more

Went on a Saturday morning shortly after they opened. It was nice and quiet. The food was amazing and I would definitely go back!

I had dinner there tonight with my father, I was thrilled to see an Armenian restaurant come to the Palisades which has long had a surplus of Italian and little else. I ordered the falafel appetizer and was transported back to my trip to Jordan eating fresh falafel from Madaba on my way to Mount Nebo. The falafel may have been my favorite dish, which is saying something, if only for that nostalgia. The rest of our meal was similarly delicious. The fried cauliflower appetizer also had wonderful flavor, and my father who loves beet salad, couldn't think of one he had better than this one. And the sea bass was perfectly cooked. I will be returning soon. read more

I thoroughly enjoy the authenticity of the food and rate the beet salad among the best that I've enjoyed.

Beautifully designed restaurant in a mini "mall" but magic when you are inside. Service was impeccable (the water is wonderful), and the food was fresh, healthy, and delicious. The fried cauliflower was seasoned perfectly and lightly fried, and the dolma were filled with a good deal of beef and less rice and served with creamy yoghurt. Care and detail go into the artful presentation of the dishes. We shared the the kebab plate, and the chef thoughtfully divided it into individual portions. Dessert is great too. All requests were accommodated to our desire. They aim to please. This is are second time in less than a month. Enjoy! read more

New local restaurant in the Palisades. Nice contemporary decorated restaurant. Everything we had was great. We started with the falafel and hummus, a chicken soup, a beet salad and a green salad. All VERY good. 2 of us had the lamb chops and they were delicious. We also had the sea bass which was great. The service was excellent. And everything was reasonably priced. We will be back for sure read more

This restaurant is beautiful and the food is SO delicious. Service was attentive and well paced. I will definitely return!

I ate at Armav this evening for a light dinner with a group of friends and we all very much enjoyed the food. The Armav appetizer platter came with many tasty items, perfect for sharing. The feta cheese, dates and hummus were my favorites on the platter. Among the additional dishes we tried, the warm beets were delicious as were the spinach filo triangles. We didn't try any of the main entrées tonight but the selection looked good. For authentic Mediterranean flavours this place is a winner! read more

The food is soo fresh!! Exceptional service, lots of options, lovely setting in Pacific Palisades

We had lunch at Armav and had a great experience. Although we ate outdoors, we were able to admire the beautiful interior of the restaurant. Our server was excellent--extremely attentive with spot-on recommendations. For starters we had the lamb and the dates, both of which were absolutely flavorful. We also enjoyed the beet salad, which was perfectly balanced. The two entrees, the chicken shawarma and souvlaki, were also really tasty, and all this food was enough for two people to enjoy and take half of our entrees home. In addition to the outstanding service the presentation of everything was wonderful. Finally, I've never really enjoyed desserts at Mediterranean places in general, but the server recommended the custard with shredded phyllo and it was like nothing we've ever had before (in a good way!). Absolutely delicious! read more

Expensive. Very low quality meat. And just uninspired dishes! This is the type of place where the menu description sounds way better than the real thing. If you don't wana waste your precious $$$$, don't eat here. We ordered a beet salad, mezze plate, and a short rib dish--all were epic fails. The meat was inedible. Tough and full of fat. The vegetables and Israeli couscous were bland and not fully cooked (and I don't mean in a good al dente way). The beet salad was just a bunch of beets (which is great), but the temp was hot hot hot--so instead of a salad we got a side dish of hot beets. Oh, and no goat cheese as advertised and no flavor other than the beets' own flavors. I guess it's a good thing the goat cheese was not included b/c with the hot temp it would have melted into white goo. Then there is the mezze plate--"how can one go wrong with a mezze plate?" you think...well, let me tell you, at this place, you can! The stuffed grape leaves had to be the most disgusting thing I've ever eaten--the leaves were dry and clearly old. The filling was just this nasty, dry, old, flavorless, hard rice. I threw it up and out. There was random cauliflower that they supposedly pickled! Again, no flavor and seemed more raw than pickled. The dips were a little better tho again no real flavor. Random date thrown in and the olives again were not juicy, but dry and seemed old and flavorless. Oh and we also got spinach and cheese bourekas which...that's right...you've figured it out by now, were tasteless and honestly seemed like those frozen ones you buy at the store. We spent $100+ for nothing but food that ended up in the trash. Do yourself and your loved ones a favor, and avoid avoid avoid! read more

OK, this was my adult daughter's birthday dinner. It was a Saturday early evening and we were the only ones in the place. It's new, so I thought "whatever, give them a chance." I wish I would not have. The next morning I became violently ill. I've never felt so close to dying in my life. This meal was the first food I had for that day, so no question what made me so sick. I was in bed for several days then ended up in the ER last week because I was so sick and had a headache that felt as if my poor head would explode. It's now 10 days later and I've only just started to eat solid food again. I was severely dehydrated from vomiting so much. I missed an entire week of my life. My daughter emailed them the day after I got ill and she has yet to receive a response. So I decided to write this review. I will call them when I feel better; I am going to a follow up appt with doctor today because I am still not well. If I could roll back time and urge my daughter not to go there, I would. The server was very sweet. I hope she does not eat there, as she told us she has a young child and she could lose a week of her life with that baby if she takes a chance on the food. read more

What a wonderful evening at Armav. It was pouring rain so it was a quiet evening at the restaurant but the ambiance was lovely, the staff was attentive and the food was delicious. As a party of five we decided to share a bunch of appetizers. Every dish was beautifully presented, fresh and delicious. I loved the beet salad, the avgolemono soup and the almond tart for dessert. We closed the restaurant but the staff was patient and allowed us to take our time. Parking below (which was handy in the rain) and validated. We will be back soon for sure!! read more

Had take out. Very good. Would like to see larger portions next time tho. Will go in again for dine in.

Wowowowow! Ate here tonight and it was some of the best Mediterranean food we've ever had. So fresh, authentic and flavorful. Portions are legit a bonus! And the service was superb, friendly, accommodating....just good people. We ordered takeout -- chix kabob -- and will definitely be going back to eat in the restaurant because the restaurant ambience looked and felt great! Bravo Amrav! So glad you're in the Palisades. You're on our "go to" list. Sonoma read more

This is one of the newest and best restaurants in Pacific Palisades. The "Parasoupa" was delicious. It is a fisherman's stew with Prawns, scallop, muscles, and fish. The broth had an interesting and healthy flavor--not too much salt. We also had the Falafel with humus. Certainly the most gourmet Falafel and humus I've had. read more

The food is great! I loved my bowl. John the waiter was top notch -could not do enough for us. Chef Tony and Anna are amazing!!! Their good is delicious. read more

Flawless dinner, on a spacious patio. Generous portions, exceptional quality, and attentive service justify the high, although not for the neighborhood, prices. Fresh dill several places, surprising flavors subtly distinct from Persian or Greek in kabob, skewers of chicken grilled just to right sear so that exterior gave delicious complex fire flavors but no off burnt ones, with interior tender, moist, ideal doneness. Caramel sauce on dessert cake probably house made, although I didn't ask. Real, deep caramel. First rate. read more

Absolutely delicious food! Service was very attentive.Wonderful place to have lunch or dinner. Can't wait to go back!

Wonderful dinner tonight. Great service and excellent food. Yummy lamb, chicken, hummus, rice, grilled veggies etc. Dessert great too! Highly recommend. read more

We had an excellent lunch on the patio. The chicken shawarma was served as a salad, on top of a pita bread, which was spread with an absolutely delicious sauce. Everything tasted super fresh, too. The service was friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back. read more

Really great spot for lunch or dinner with a cute patio. I had the most amazing Mediterranean bowl which was DELICIOUS and not to mention $20. If you're local and usually grab lunch at Cafe Vida, Erewhon, Porto Via, this is an excellent addition to your rotation. Will be back to try dinner! read more

Chef-owner Kim also owns K's Bakery in Pali Highlands. Armav offers very unusual Armenian dishes I haven't seen elsewhere. It's a ground-up new restaurant with open kitchen, simple interior and fixtures with interior and exterior seating. Very friendly and efficient host and wait staff. I'm pleased to have this offering in Palisades. However, it needs better wine selections. The mainly unknown brand but expensive Lebanese and Hungarian wines are a gamble and both our white and red were disappointing. Prices are $$$$. A small, basic fish soup consisting of 3 shrimp, 2 scallops, and a few scraps of white fish was $38. I would still return to try other items were it not for the "Employee health insurance surcharge" of approximately 4%. As a retail business owner myself, who provides employee health insurance from my gross profit, I am really annoyed by high margin/price restaurants like this and a few others on the Westside that do this. read more
