A nice gentleman Edgar took my order and my 4 shawarmas, 2 with chicken and 2 with pork, started getting made. Edgar recommended I go with everything inside and with a bit of spice and to get the shawarmas on their fresh-baked bread rather than lavash. 15 minutes later mine and my friends' shawarmas were ready. My shawarma in the bread with chicken was absolutely delicious. It was so tender, juicy and very nicely marinated. I loved the spicy sauce that they used inside of the bread and they also kicked it up with jalapeños. The ensemble of their yummy bread, the incredible chicken shawarma, the fresh veggies and the sauce, made me feel extremely satisfied and just happy that I found this place. The spot itself is a hole-in-the-wall type of place, but with amazing energy and great spirit. The customer service was friendly and excellent too. I will definitely be back for more!

This review is for Gev's khinkali. Wow. First off this location is absolutely stunning, inviting,…read morefunctional, well thought out. The customer service was amazing, I felt supported and welcomed. Now, there is some limited English spoken, but please don't let that be a sign of bad customer service, rather it is just a small language barrier. There's an app by Google called translate and while it's not always 100% accurate it's pretty helpful and easy to use. Armenian and Russian is spoken here and trust me, they are making a genuine effort to speak English. Gev's KHINKALI is simply incredible. I can't wait to share some with my Armenian neighbors. Khinkali is a beloved Georgian (the country not the state) giant dumpling. It's kind of a variation of xiao long bao, the Chinese soup dumpling. Khinkali has its own delicate flavors and I love it boiled for 8-10 minutes, served with a little butter and black pepper. Let it cool for 3 minutes and then go for it. I like to bite a little bit off making sure the soupy inside gets in my mouth and some meat. Hard to only eat one. Gev's Kitchen is ready for you!! Gev's has a freezer waiting for you stocked with tons of frozen khinkali in different flavors ready to be purchased and taken home boiled or fried. $26 before tax for the beef and there are ten giant pieces in the bag. So after tax it's about $3.50 per each dumpling. In my opinion it is so worth it. Even though you can make this at home, it's a rather simple recipe, but to get the dough perfected to this degree is something else. The meat seasoning and quality itself is also perfection. Glad I took a chance and tried Gev's despite the few negative reviews. I will 100% be coming back specifically for the frozen beef khinkali. Parking lot is limited however they have two spots conveniently designated for Gev's. Ps: as someone who is sensitive and who takes customer service to heart, I must say they are very much in tune with making sure everyone is happy. This is top notch service, presentation, experience. You'll never find a place this clean, detailed, professional with such incredible Khinkali. They are smart for offering this incredibly special khinkali in such a convenient manner. Lastly, a kind request to the owners, please, I beg you please try to do your best to not raise the prices. I wish to be a regular and frequent customer but we are on a tight budget as many people are right now. I understand there are bills to pay and greedy landlords to keep up with, but please try your best to accommodate this request, thank you.

The banquet hall was simple, yet beautifully designed. White and pink balloons were added to the main stage, while the far corner had a DJ set with lighting in place for the dance floor. There was a large variety of appetizers that I tried for the first time which included chikufte, sarma, and ikra. For imbibing, there was a bottle of cognac, vodka, and tarkhuna. Entrees included a bread bowl filled with veal (wish I caught the name) and a platter of lamb, chicken, and pork. Both were delicious and although our table was absolutely stuffed, they still had more entrees to bring out! Could barely muster a bite of the rice dish that came out after. In between the eating was lots of dancing with the DJ pumping bangers so loud, I was wondering if the baby felt sensory overload. A vibrant and energetic party was had.

To say the food was amazing would mean nothing to say. Have been to a lot of different Armenian restaurants ( in Armenia as well) but Gumri's cuisine was just great with having 5 hot meals, and a variety of salads, appetizers... Our guests were not even able to finish one dish, when the other one would come. At the end of the event, they packed all the dishes very nicely, so we could take to home, and it seemed like we just ordered a food, as those were not the leftovers of table. Service of two Russian-speaking ladies were great as well- very patiently, very friendly! Not to mention the owner Mike , who is also the one cooking all these delicious meals. 100000% would recommend this place for hosting your events. Don't look at the outer part of the restaurant, just go in and reserve your day! You will never regret. P.S - I usually do not write reviews, but I think people do really need to know about this great place. :)

Beautifully shaded outdoor patio with lush green astroturf carpeting. The outdoor seating area is dog friendly. The tables are decorated with beautiful placemats, plates and rolled up silverware. The waiter was friendly, placed a basket of pita bread for the table and helped describe some of the Lebanese dishes for me. Ordered an iced tea, fries and a chicken wrap. Went inside of the restaurant to use the restroom and on my way I saw the amazing desserts station, vintage serving trays & gold coffee pots, some classic framed photos of Lebanon on the walls, the kitchen and the indoor dining area.

We really loved everything except the pitas. Would have been nice if they were warmed up at least. Everyone was very helpful in the restaurant and we also loved the lemonade with rose water and dessert. They even gave us some ladyfingers on the house. Would definitely return!
