Krichian's Grill & Bistro

Looks like we're in the dining area of a house, very cute. There's even an enclosed outdoor area. But it was too hot to sit outside ;)

There was a large party taking up half the space. Luckily we made reservations. They were pretty boisterous.

Service was excellent. Susan was very helpful as we've never had Armenian food. Bedros (not sure of the spelling) was on point clearing plates and getting extra plates, utensils etc. Considering such a large party they still came to check on us regularly. :)

When we sat down they brought us basket of pitas and a plate of 🫒, 🧀, pickled cabbage and pickled banana pepper. This was so good, much better than just boring bread and butter! I don't know what kind of cheese it was but I really liked it. I don't usually like unknown 🧀 but hubby will eat any kind of 🧀 LoL

We ordered:
Armenian 🍵 - this was really good! We each had 2 cups :D

Kibbehs - nice and crispy on the outside and meaty on the inside, wasn't too doughy like other places

Sujuk - Armenian Sausage - delicious! The stew like tomato on top gave the sausage a nice juiciness, might have felt dry without it, nicely complements the sausage

Yalanji - Grape Leaves - one of the best I've had! Had to get an extra order to take home :D

Okra with Mujadara - was only on the lunch menu but as our friend is vegetarian, they made an exception for him and he enjoyed the Okra and Lentil Rice

Rack of Lamb - hubby loved the lamb, I'm not a lamb fan but it was flavorful. And hubby loved the Lentil Rice

Grilled Salmon - I've had over cooked salmon in some very upscale restaurants so was surprised this was perfectly cooked over a bed of spinach which itself was very good. I didn't like the Lentil Rice to me it was too sweet, and clashed with my salmon, hubby was happy to take it off my plate LOL

Definitely worth a try. It's similar to other middle eastern cuisine but there's just enough of a difference to warrant a try. :)

Armenian food made with love! The location is clean and has armenian art displayed. The staff is friendly and brought us complimentary hummus and pita bread. We had the grilled salmon with camaralized onions and leeks and the filet mignon kebab platter

Wow!!! It’s my first time dining here and I’ll definitely be back.

We came as a huge group and ordered a bunch of appetizers and entrees to share. The food here was delicious and flavorful.

They have a lot of middle eastern dishes to choose from and you can’t go wrong with whatever you select! I highly recommend the hummus, babaganoush, fetoush salad, combo platter and French fries.

A great restaurant near Paterson!

Great place for homemade Middle Eastern food. A fusion of Armenian and Lebanese cuisine. Great service from a true “mom and pop” restaurant! Must have the hummus, manti soup and chicken shawarma platter!
