    Butter Kyufte
    Tuss R.

    Fantastic spot, came here around 5:30p on a Wednesday. Pretty busy and small spot but very cute, server (/owner?) was very nice and apologetic. Food didn't take too long. The steak (new item) was so yummy, medium rare and well spiced. The butter kyufte was delicious. The PITA though! So soft and fresh and perfect. Would come back just for the pita. Can't wait to try other new items in the future!

    Muhammara

    Have dined in twice about one month apart for the wagyu basturma brisket sandwich. Both times, the meat was succulent, deliciously rich and fatty, and well seasoned. Service was helpful and friendly both times. They have a wait list outside if all the tables are filled, so make sure to put your name on the list if you arrive and all the tables are filled up. They also do not seat you unless your full party is there, which is understandable given the limited seating inside. A heads up that it can get a little warm in there so I recommend coming in with comfortable hot weather appropriate clothing and a water bottle. Arrived at 5 PM on 07/05/26, and the restaurant was filled up in about 15 minutes. Yes, the sandwich is $38 but it is Australian wagyu, very unique flavor and obviously a labor of love and diligence, incredibly tender and fatty for 3/4 lb of meat. For comparison - the wagyu burger at Petit Trois (another one of my favorite items in LA atm) is also $38. The price is justified and definitely reasonable for what you are getting. Can't forget the delicious even spread of pickles and the freshly made pita! Also tried the muhammara and it was delicious and fresh tasting as well! Can't wait to come back to try everything else on the menu. Lots of street parking in the neighborhood as well.

    I love it. Sometimes you hear chefs talking about not wanting to compromise quality, here is an example of when that rigid adherence to standards pay off. They don't have to give you farm fresh heirloom tomatoes in the salad. They don't have to make the best pita I've ever had in my life fresh to order. They don't need to use Wagyu to smoke their Armenian pastrami (batsturma). They don't have to chiffonade herbs to garnish their dishes. They don't have refuse take out orders either. But they do. And their insistence that it makes a difference is proving to be a good point. Food tastes better freshly prepared, and Arthur's(the chef) passion demands that you have his food at its very best. I came for the sandwich. It's incredible and worth getting. The fattoush (salad) captured my heart.

    The basturma sandwich is what everyone comes here for, and after trying it, I completely understand why. It was absolutely delicious. Yes, at $38 it's definitely on the expensive side, but the quality is undeniable. The freshly baked pita was warm, soft, and the perfect vessel for the star of the show--the meat. The basturma had the rich, smoky character of pastrami combined with the tenderness of a perfectly cooked brisket. It was juicy, flavorful, and practically melted in my mouth with every bite. The service was excellent as well. The woman working the front was friendly, efficient, and did a great job keeping the line moving while managing the constant flow of customers and table turnover. The place is not that big and maybe had about 6 tables only. A tip for first-time visitors: when you arrive, make sure you immediately go inside and put your name on the waitlist before heading back outside. We noticed several people who didn't realize this and ended up waiting much longer than necessary. Also, during our visit, they were not accepting takeout orders, so it's worth planning to dine in and checking ahead if you're hoping to order food to go. The prices may cause a little sticker shock at first, but after taking that first bite, it becomes much easier to understand why this place has developed such a loyal following.

    NOTE: Dined in on 6/3/26. Parking lot is small, but there's plenty of street parking nearby! Bring your own water unless you want to buy it there (they sell drinks) and I recommend bringing wet naps as well. There's no bathroom and if you eat the sandwich, your hands will be very messy! One of the things I love the most about LA is that I often find the best food in the most unassuming lookin' spots. More recently, it's been spots like Sora Craft Kitchen in downtown and now, Chef Arthur Grigoryan's Yerord Mas. Yerord Mas looks like it used to be a donut shop or something, but lemme tell you... it's some of the best food you can get from a spot with no restroom. And I mean that as high praise, as we have lots of great spots with no restrooms in this town (maybe that's a list that Eater/Infatuation should make - you're welcome for the content idea). Anyway, to the food! I wanted to try the famous basturma brisket sandwich and also the chi kyuftah (I'm a huge fan of this variation of raw meat mixed with bulgur and spices), but they didn't have it that day. I was given a rundown on the rest of the items, since they don't offer any written descriptions, and I recognized muhammara, as I had tried it a couple times at other restaurants. Muhammara - This was brought out first! First of all, generous portion and beautifully plated and comes with a PIPING hot piece of their amazing pita. Just watch out for the mess you'll make since the pita does shed quite a bit from the flour or whatever is used to keep things from sticking. If you're not familiar with what muhammara is, it's a dip/spread made using pomegranate molasses, walnuts, and roasted red pepper. So there's a bit of sweetness/tanginess from the molasses on top, the texture/richness of the walnuts blended in with the smokiness and slight spice from the red pepper. You'll have more than enough spread for the pita, so you can eat some of the leftover spread with the basturma brisket. Or do what I did and eat it on its own, because it's so good! Basturma brisket - Oh man... I've been disappointed by some of the other viral pastrami/brisket sandwiches I've tried in the past (sorry Gold Banh), but this lived up to the hype. Yes, it's expensive, but the quality speaks for itself. It's rich, fatty, meaty, and honestly almost overwhelming if it weren't for the sauce and pickles cutting into all of that to balance things out. The pita is wonderfully soft and fresh and doesn't lose its integrity/fall apart from the sauce and fat. Easily the best thing I've eaten in a minute and I'm already thinking about getting another one. They also cut it in half so it's easier to hold + easy to share between two people! Although this spot was on my radar for a while, I took my sweet time trying it. But what matters most is that I finally got there and that I loved it! Looking forward to trying the rest of the menu, and I wish Arthur and his team nothing but the best as I'm sure this spot is going to blow up as time goes by.

    Fattoush Salad
    Araks K.

    Wow, I'm so mad I didn't come to this restaurant sooner! The food was absolutely amazing. They recently changed the menu, and we tried the hanger steak, pistachio hummus, and fattoush salad -- and I honestly can't even say which one was better because everything was so good. The flavors were fresh, unique, and perfectly balanced. The service was also very friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely a new favorite and a place I'll be coming back to!

    Lentil kyuftah
    Christine C.

    Everyone comes here for the batsurma brisket sandwich and I can see why. The pita is the freshest, fluffiest pillow wrapped around the BEST brisket sandwich I've ever had. Yes, it's pricey, but dang it, it's worth it! As excited as I was to try the brisket, I was even more happy to find that their fattoush salad, pistachio hummus, and lentil kyuftah were just as delicious. The next time I come back I will happily share half a sandwich so I can try all their other items. I can't wait to taste my way through the rest of the menu! The parking lot is small but I found street parking one street over in the neighborhood. Service was friendly, but FYI there is no bathroom.

    Basturma sandwich (1/2)
    Ahlennah B.

    Pita so good you want to crawl inside it and take the softest fluffiest nap you've ever taken. Perfect chew, great flavor, beautiful cook. An utter delight. I didn't even know pita got this enjoyable all on its own, and I've had what I thought was good pita! This came with the pistachio hummus, which was recommended by other reviewers...and for good reason! Really gourmet flavors, excellent texture, went beautifully with the pita. They were out of the Ishli Kyuftah, so will have to come back another day for that because it sounds amazing. A lamb mixture Bolognese sauce inside of a bulgur patty in a lemon sauce...yes plz! We ordered both their basturma sandwich and a new shredded pork shoulder offering, both of which are served in their outstanding pita bread. The basturma is out of this world. I understand why they run out. Go early. It's worth it. This was so good - melt in your mouth, excellent flavor, so tender - and the cheese sauce was next level. A perfect compliment of flavors. They even made me like a pickle, which I normally avoid like the plague. I would order this again in a heartbeat. It's a big sandwich, quite filling. The shredded heritage pork shoulder was a little too spicy for me, but I'm a spice wuss. The flavors were lovely and the pork was a nice texture. Very generous with all of the ingredients! If you enjoy spicy things, this sandwich is probably excellent! Service was warm and personal, super informative and passionate. Things are made work love and care here by a small team, so it did take some time, but morning excessive. Good things are worth waiting for, and is come back here to wait for the basturma any day. I love that their menu is simple and focused, but that they still experiment! The space is small inside, but with room for a few tables. Several people came in for to-go orders while we were there, and several more came for dine in. There is a small lot for the parking plaza and street parking otherwise.

    Pistachio hummus
    Rodney M.

    Been wanting to come here forever! Saw the pastrami sandwich on social media and came here to try it. Worth every cent!!! If not for the meat than definitely for the bread. Best bread ever and can eat it every day! Service was amazing. Everyone was super attentive. Place worth coming back over and over again

    Hummus and pita
    Arpa A.

    To be honest, I really thought this place was going to be overrated but when I say the basturma brisket sandwich is one of the best things I've ever had, I'm not kidding. The pita bread alone is worth trying this place but they fill the fresh pita with tons of brisket that melts in your mouth. I have no idea what's in the white sauce they pour into it but it's amazing and the pickles are the kind I grew up eating (if you're Armenian, you know). I promise it's worth the price tag. The hummus was pretty amazing too and it comes with a fresh pita right out the oven. No bathroom. No take out.

    Wow! The food here is so delicious!! Wagyu Brisket Basturma Sandwich Ishli Kufta Muhamara Everything was so so delicious! Drove out from Arizona to have this delicious meal! Looking forward coming back for more!!

    Three Basturma brisket sandwiches
    Emanuelle Z.

    This was the MOST delicious culinary experience I have ever had in my life. Truly mind blowing, flavor bombs, and the technique and skill behind each dish is something that you can taste with each bite you take. As soon as we walked in we were hit with the delicious smell of spices. We had the Muhammara and the Waygu Brisket Basturma sandwich. The muhammara is rich, sweet, and tart. The bread is like a duvet with how soft and fluffy it is and FRESH. That same duvet bread is used for the basturma sandwich. The waygu is rich, EXTREMELY tender, perfectly seasoned with basturma spices. The pickles were the perfect touch and cut the richness of the bechamel like sauce and beef. All in all, a delicious meal, perfectly executed. I just want chef Arthur to know my family and I felt so lucky and blessed that we got to experience this. Thank you for keeping the Basturma Brisket on the menu. Your craft and talent is other worldly. May God bless this restaurant and those who enjoy it as much as we did!!!

    Chash: yogurt kyufta
    Susanna O.

    As you approach yerord mas in all its simplicity, you find that each meal is more than just simple. With key, high quality ingredients you have some of the most special dishes. We weren't able to sit and try as many dishes, however I can confidently say we will be back for more and most certainly repeat some. The pistachio hummus is accompanied by freshly baked bread that will give you all of the happy feels. The pistachio hummus in itself is very subtle, light and quite delicious. I may add that the portion size of the bread and hummus is greatly portioned to share. The lentil kyuftah comes with a side of a carrottes rapees and butter lettuce. What a fantastic combination that takes such a simple dish and elevates it perfectly. My personal favorite as this dish brings me such comfort-- the yogurt kyuftah. You receive this nice and warm. Poached chicken pieces in yogurt, with the most precious meatballs stuffed with butter. This is topped with mint and Aleppo pepper giving it that extra fresh spice you need. Each bite into the meatball gives an explosion of butter, paired with the yogurt and chicken truly gives you the epitome of a comfort meal. Lastly, we of course had the brisket sandwich. This sandwich is giving- great to share as each sandwich holds half a pound of brisket. With house made grand cru Gruyère mornay. This will have you FULL! A must try dish here whether you're eating in or in the go. The service was wonderful, you truly feel like family once you walk in, with great details about each dish. Even with a packed house staff was attentive to our needs. Highly recommend.

I generally like fewer toppings, but everyone is different. I suppose in the future I could ask to go light on the toppings. But I'd rather they be generous rather than skimpy.
