Sayat Nova

Tucked in Ontario St. near Michigan Ave. is a jewel of a restaurant , serving authentic Armenian cuisine. Everything we had was delicious, but the best are the lamb dishes and yes, the beer & cognac !

This Armenian restaurant is flavorful and affordable in an area that's expensive and consistently packed. Try the flavorful and mezze sampler of hummus , spinach , and stuffed grape leaves .

Paklava was a nice way to end a meal. The dish usually comes with three pieces, but since there were four of us, they offered to give us an extra piece. Very considerate.

Love it here! The hommus is so silky and delicious! The vegetarian combo is so much delicious food for a great price! A true gem among all the other terrible chains in the area

Feels very authentic . Like a good home cooked Armenian meal. The Hummus is smooth and the Combo platter tasty.

The Trout with Fine Herbs is probably my favorite dish

The best hummus I've ever had, served with warm pita . This place is a staple, been here many years.

Kebab combo is yummy of you like meat! Armenian combo has a delicious phyllo dough cheese pastry .

If you are Kosovar or Bosnian, you will love this place. If you're not, you will still love this place, but especially if you're Kosovar or Bosnian.

Haven't had anything I didn't like: kabobs very succulent, kibbee spiced just right, knafi custardy but not too sweet

Amazing hummas and Armenian food . Place has been around literally since forever

The knafi was just right: custard was not too sweet

My friends and I all swear by the #8. We've been there enough that they pretty much know it's our order. It's clean your plate good. The humus is also delicious.

incredible! all of the appetizers are delicious and the beef kabob yum!

The Armenian Combo was a hit

Try the Raw Kibbe and the Cheese Boereg. Delicious! The Kufta is great too.

amazing and delicious apps, soups and the beef kabob is great ~

On the Mag Mile, amidst a sea of corporate restaurants , this place is a welcome gem! Lovely Armenian food .

Amazing find, great service !! Tabouli is amazing!

Go with a group and order different dishes to share

Mixed appetizer and Armenian combo are the best!!!

Amazing and affordable

Everything is delicious!

Get the Kibbee lunch entree. Was outstanding!

The sauteed chicken (spicy ) is nothing short of amazing!

I do not like hummus BUT, definitely get it here - It is excellent!

Hummus is awesome. Yalanchi (vegetarian ) Sarma was very disappointing. I think there were almond slivers in them? Not pleasant nor traditional- and not as described in menu. :-(

The chicken coucous is good.

The appetizer combo is a good deal . Grape leaves were delicious

The food was good, but service was slow. We waited 15 mins before our waiter came up to us and asked if we liked to order any drinks.

Love this place

Try the Malbec ”on tap ” from Trivento

Lamb kebab !

Delicious!????

Quiet , intimate and simple.

Lunch menu #17 with a side of hummus .

Enjoyed a very nice, quiet meal when I was in Chicago last June.
