About Armenian Taverna and Restaurant

Manchester's Armenian Taverna has been ensconced in its current Princess Street location nearly four decades, although is started life even earlier on Fountain Street. Now under new ownership and recently refurbished, literally generations of customers have visited this romantic basement taverna which is right on Albert Square, just opposite the Town Hall. The food is freshly prepared over a charcoal grill and favourites include starters such as Gagamp, cabbage leaves filled with delicately spiced lamb meat, rice, tomato and parsley and mains like the Armenian Goulash, made with pieces of lamb, cooked in a rich wine sauce together with courgette, carrot, onion, aubergine and tomato and served with rice. The mezze selection is popular and everything comes with the chef's special bread from the Caucasus. The wine list also features wines from Armenia. The restaurant is open for lunch Tuesday to Friday and dinner Tuesday to Sunday.

A gem in the middle of Manchester. The food is great . All the starters in the platter were excellent and the Pelmeni with broth really hearty. The service is friendly and informal, but professional and the atmosphere lovely. They also have a remarkable wine list which is pricy but not unreasonable.

The goulash was to die for. Perfect portions and a great change from your typical Manchester Central restaurant. Highly recommend.

Delicious food in VERY hearty portions. Great service and lovely atmosphere. Menu and ambience quite authentic and unpretentious Highly recommended.

Fantastic food as always. Party of 4 eating on a Friday night. We had booked and were seated pretty much immediately. It was busy but service was pretty good. We all had the meat banquet which was delicious. Not cheap but not ridiculous, you're looking at £30 for the cheapest bottle of wine.

The food was excellent. There was only one server so I was expecting slow service but actually he did a really good job and we didn't wait long at all. And in Manchester terms it is not too expensive a restaurant. Excellent. Will go back again.

Visited on a busy Saturday night and this place was buzzing ! Phenomenal food and wonderful wine! We had the taster meat menu and it was utterly gorgeous! We will return again - perhaps on a quieter night so we can try more of the menu and enjoy dining with less of the bustle (which was great for a Saturday - so I’m not complaining).. there were just a few larger tables & big groups. Price was great - standards of service excellent - 2 courses and wine for just under £100 ! We will be back !

Returned after moving away for a while, improved decor, but still great food and service. Hope to be back soon when, hopefully, it will be a bit busier.

Food was delicious, service was excellent. The staff were welcoming and attentive. We ate early so unable to comment on the atmosphere later in the evening but we certainly thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Highly recommended

I have been meaning to eat here for years but never got round to it. What a mistake to make! The food was fantastic and very reasonably priced. Service was very good also. We have never tried Armenian wine before but it didn't disappoint. We will certainly be back. PS. I have only marked 3 for atmosphere because it was early when we dined and so it seemed very quiet. However if the restaurant had been fuller I may have been able to mark it higher.
