Gor-Gor Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Yeah! Tant Nelly and Ammo Garbis. Azat: I'm glad you enjoy the restaurant! I was afraid you guys would think I was trying to simply advertise the place -- but it's honestly the best Armenian/MidEast food I've ever had. I've been eating their food ever since I was little kid. Did you have the beorags?? Ohhh I would kill for one right now. 18970 Ventura Blvd Tarzana, CA 91356 818.708.8986 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azat Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Dear Gor-Gor, I have only been a customer of theirs for about 3 years, but have never had a bad experience there. beorags are super, the Tablui is super, the lentil soup is super, the falafel is super, the lentil/bulgur pilaf is super. What can I say everything is super. But what makes that small restaurant the best Armenian restaurant in LA is the owners. Voski martik en erenq.

Azat Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 (edited) I am not ready to spend $12 on you yet. You throw mixed signals to me and I am not sure if you are ready for Sasoon. Edited December 9, 2004 by Azat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azat Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 Couple of nights ago I had a wonderful dinner at a VERY hip and Chic restaurant on Montana(South Brentwood for those of you in LA) named Yu(http://www.gayot.com/restaurantpages/LosAngelesInfo.php?tag=LARES041110) To me it felt like I was sitting in a hip bar in NYC Village area. The food is Pan-Asian, almost tapas style as portions are small to encourage people to share and try many different things. Sushi is first grade. The bar very happening. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a happening place to go for good food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamavor Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Sofia Echo, Bulgaria Jan 11 2005 Restaurant Review-A few of our favourites Clive Leviev-Sawyer In addition to this week's special 2004 in Review pages of this newspaper, it is also an appropriate time to honour the tradition established last January of asking The Sofia Echo restaurant reviewers to say which restaurants they found most memorable during the course of their visits last year. Marlene Smits said of restaurant Bvlgaria (4 Tsar Osvoboditel Street, Phone 988 53 07), "The food, service and atmosphere definitely stand out for me. It's calm and modern, the food is really up to standard and the service is great. Its personnel know about etiquette, but are absolutely not stiff. After having dinner there, I went back several times just for some dessert or a meeting." Of The Thirsty Dragon (2, 13 Mart Street, 964 06 40), Marlene noted: "This is one of my all time favourite restaurants in Sofia. I visit it almost weekly. The food is great except for some exotic dishes that they simply don't know how to prepare properly. Apart from that the atmosphere is cosy and nice and that makes it a great place for informal dinners." Her view on Pod Lipite (1 Elin Pelin Street, 866 50 53 or 866 50 59): "This restaurant is definitely a great way to have real traditional Bulgarian food in an old fashioned, but quite classy, environment. The food is great! And that's why it's a good start for foreigners to acquaint themselves with Bulgarian cuisine." Of Hua Sing Sin Low (113 Vassil Levski, Telephone 943 34 83), she said: "Here I simply had the best Chinese experience in Bulgaria. It's not a place one chooses to dine in for its looks, but the food is great." Marlene's view on Komara (on Edison Street and Trudolubie Street, behind the parking of block nr. 9, 0887 265 021): "Komara is certainly also not on my list in terms of beauty. The food however, and in summer the tranquillity of the garden, is really a pleasure. I went back many times after the review and every single time I had a nice meal." Gersende Schubert gave Pizza Victoria (7 Tsar Osvoboditel Street) four stars "for a terrific quality restaurant that is simply and neatly decorated" and she liked Pizzeria Ugo (45 Vitosha Boulevard and on William Gladstone Street), noting the careful thought that went into the decor, a diverse selection of dishes and pizza sizes that were "just right" as Goldilocks might have put it. David McMullin gave Opera (113 Rakovski Street) five stars, as well as describing it as trendy and tasteful, and giving it a "bravo!" Julia Terlinchamp had her first experience of Russian food at Gara Za Dvama (18 Benkovski Street) and said it had "eliminated any bad thoughts I once had about Russian cuisine". Gus Worth awarded four stars to Amber (70 Burel Street in Ivan Vazov): "We can definitely say go to Amber and prepare to stop," and four stars to Rio (1 Bulgaria Boulevard, near the National Palace of Culture), which he thought to be good value for money, even with a bill for two of 64.40 leva. Danny Dresser gave Awadh (41 Cherkovna Street) three stars, an Indian restaurant that he praised as a "highly welcome newcomer to the Sofia scene...even those who don't like very spicy food should give it a try, as the chefs are very happy to hold back on the chillis". David Toal said of Bistro Boné, "the restaurant is basically a quaint, simple place favoured by locals. Much of the menu features the standard Bulgarian fare, but there are some interesting variations on traditional recipes and a few unique offerings. I've visited the restaurant three times, and each time found that the kitchen took care in consistently producing attractive, well-prepared meals." Christine Milner said: "The best one I reviewed this year was the At the Fountain (17 Yanko Sakuzov Boulevard) where we had a really good meal that stood out from so many mediocre places. They obviously have an excellent chef and I hope it stays that way. The interior was just right - fairly trendy and tasteful but still cosy and we had a very good waiter who behaved naturally. "The health food restaurant Kibea (2a Dr G Valkovich Street) is also a good restaurant and I regret being a little down on them in my review, they were the victim of circumstance and the fact that I chose something to eat that I should have known I wouldn't like. I know lots of people who really like the place and the standard of cooking has remained very high. Kibea also has a bookshop and a health food store downstairs, which I use quite frequently". Looking back over the 15 restaurants he reviewed in 2004, Clive Leviev-Sawyer named his favourites as Armenian restaurant Egur, Egur (18 Sheinovo Street), Maharaja (65 Kiril and Metodii Street) for its Indian cuisine, and Retro (2 Dobromir Hristov Street) for its sophisticated atmosphere and decor, and excellent food and service. PS: Have been to all of them except Egur - Egur! They just opened last year! It seems to me that foreigners do not know where to eat in Sofia. There are few excelent French and Italian restaurants that no one ever rated, which might be a good thing afterall! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sev-mard Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 I can't say it's the flat out best, but I went to Carousel's in Glendale for lunch with one of the General Contractors from my job yesterday, and it was very good. The atmosphere was great, the hummus, lavish, salad and tabouleh were all very fresh. The khorovatz was excellent, and the couple glasses of wine we had of course helped the meal. I'd heard about it before, but had never been, I liked it alot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azat Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Went to a super good restaurant tonight. The Lobster in Santa Monica (http://www.thelobster.com) Incredible sea food selection and they only had maybe 2-3 meat dishes on the entire menu. But they probably had 20+ fish/crustacean(sp?) dishes. We tried 7 items and every single one was perfectly prepared. 8+/10 Stars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckBejug Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 (edited) Have any of you Angelenos ever eaten at Sasoon? In my (biased) opinion, it's the best in the city for Armenian/Middle Eastern food. Okay okay, it's my aunt's restaurant. lol But it's so good! I've had Zankou, and it is absolutely nothing in comparison to Sasoon. Honestly. The shawarma (tarna) sandwich at Zankou is a joke. It's in the Valley on Ventura Blvd. (in Tarzana) style_images/master/snapback.png There is a Sasoun Bakery in Hollywood, any relation to this place in the Valley? The one in Hollywood has very very good boregs and manaesh and lahmajoun. SASOUN BAKERY 5114 SANTA MONICA BLVD Los Angeles, CA 90029-2414 323-661-1868 Also, Sahag's Basturma in Hollywood has the best best best tasting Soujoukh sanwiches. He sells tel banir, and soujoukh, and Basturma(which I will never taste but apparently it's good.), among other things. All very good.

Azat Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 Last night I had dinner with Robert DeNiro. Wellllll, he was not sitting at the same table as I, actually he was not even in the restaurant but the establishment where i had dinner is owned by Mr. DeNiro. That almost like having dinner with him. no? Anyways. Went to Ago on Melrose and La Cienega last night. Let me first tell you that the minute I pulled up to the valet I felt I was in Montreal on Grand Prix weekend. There were(and I aint kidding) 2 Lamborghini's and 2 Aston Martins and a Porsche 911 and a CLK55 in the parking lot. The place is TOTAL L.A. Great decor, expensive succulent food cooked to perfection in wood burning ovens, appetizers to make your mouth water and an Italian wine list to make any establishment jealous. I tried 3 appetizers. Creamy buffalo mozzarella with string beans.(and this was the most creamy mozzarella I have EVER had), Beat salad with aged Gorgonzola cheese, and a radicio, endive pecan salad. For an Entrée I had the Chilean Sea Bass stake grilled to perfection with lemon and olive oil and for desert I tried the white chocolate cake, banana cream pie and pear tart wit raspberries. Ohhh it was so good. Everything was perfect until I got the $310 bill(including tax and tip) Whose bright idea was it to go to that stinking joint???

Ohhh it was so good. .... style_images/master/snapback.png Hey I thought all you californians were politically correct! Chilean Sea Bass is amazing & succulent - i've only had the pleasure on a few rare occasions. I tend to avoid it as it is being illegally overfished and will soon be an endangered species (according to the US State Department fact sheet). No matter. Azat, I envy you - that sounds like a fabulous meal!! You'll have to tell us what Robert DeNiro's like in person Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sip Posted July 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Best buffet in the world: Edo Buffet in Middleton WI. All you can eat sushi and edamame, hot and sour, egg drop, and miso soups, the usual chinese food stuff, a few very other good items on the menu including my favorite, the cucumber salad. The mushroom potato dish gets as well. Overall, it's by far my most favorite buffet ever. The sushi cheff is an excellent guy and he really knows what he is doing it seems. I can't help but tip him every time. Cost? $4.95 a person for lunch, $5.95 for dinner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
