How long have you been in business, and what is your restaurant’s history?
My wife Anna and I started our company in 2011 with a very small operation: a commercial kitchen in Surrey that we rented on an hourly basis. We both worked full time at a software company, so we baked at 4 a.m. every day, then sold to our community members at two Armenian Churches. Lamajoun (a thin layer of yeast-free dough baked with beef sauce) was in high demand. Some of our products, including our lavash flatbread, became very popular. Hundreds of customers ordered them via direct delivery, as well as many resellers—including popular store chains—in Vancouver, North Van, Richmond, Surrey, Victoria and the USA. In 2017, we opened up our own production location on River Road. Our main goal is to produce, cater and wholesale our products, but we also have a small seating area with four tables. We have become very popular, attracting customers from as far away as Whistler and Seattle.
What’s special or unique about your restaurant?
We prepare our food the same way as we would prepare it for our children: everything from scratch, using only the highest quality all-natural ingredients, premium meats, and local market greens and vegetables. All of our products are palm oil free, margarine free, preservative and MSG free.
What’s your specialty or best-selling item?
Chicken BBQ (marinated in yogurt and garlic) with grilled red peppers in freshly baked lavash flatbread, plus Jumbo Khinkali dumplings.
Do you have any new menu items?
Sometimes we offer dolma (ground beef rolled in grape leaves) with homemade tzatziki sauce and beef soup with pearl barley and potatoes (our grandma's finger licking recipe).
What’s your favourite item on the menu?
Lamb shoulder BBQ in lavash flatbread—mouth watering!
