The Best Restaurants In Brighton Beach

"On my first visit to Hi Food Cafe, I saw a pair of elderly women walk in with empty shopping bags and walk out with those bags stuffed full of fresh lavash, so I knew I was in for something special. This place serves Armenian comfort food at its finest, and it’s worth doing a little bit of research so you know what you want before you get there. The lula kebab, a regional specialty made from ground meat (you can get chicken or beef, both are very good), is a must-try. Get it wrapped in lavash with sliced onions and herbs if you want to eat it on the go, or order it with a side of eggplant for a slightly more substantial meal. Don’t skip the lahmajoun, a flatbread covered in ground meat, cheese, and a spiced-but-not-spicy tomato sauce. If you see a tray of sweets make its way towards the glass case near the register, get one of whatever has just come out of the oven, whether it’s a flaky cheese-filled pastry or a sticky, cone-shaped Ant Hill Cake." - carina finn koeppicus

Went with my Armenian friend, who was incredibly impressed by its authenticity. Having tried his mom’s cooking, I can confirm the food here is indeed legit. Such a great hole in the wall gem in coney. Very reasonable prices as well.

Being Armenian I guess I am prejudiced, but I don’t mind driving for an hour sometimes just so I can get their homemade food, it’s very authentic and it tastes like “home”. The owner is a very welcoming lady and she does her best to keep her customers happy. It’s a great value for the price. One very happy and loyal costumer.

Such a hidden gem!! I had read about the jingalov hats in a food blog somewhere and have been wanting to try it, and this place far exceeded my expectations. She was kind enough to make mine without cilantro, and it was perfect. And the lahmajun was the best I have ever had in my life! The baked goods we tried were all delicious. I cannot give this place enough praise! I will be returning!

one of the only armenian restaurants in the city!! run by a sweet grandma jan whos willing to share her personal meals and has a homey atmosphere. almost all the meals are freshly made by hand. would recc their kebabs! also come for their hard-to-find-elsewhere imports! updated review: i gave 4 instead of 5 initially bc the food's flavor can sometimes be more fast food oriented rather than homemade, but i wouldnt want to hurt the ratings of a fully family run institution, esp of such a pleasant family!
