⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If there’s a place on Earth where dough is treated like sacred art, it’s Ponchik Monchik in Gyumri. Their ponchiks? Absolute heaven — crispy outside, cloud-soft inside, with fillings that melt into your soul. But the real surprise? The pies.

the food is great, but the service is very long. you have to wait a very long time for the waiters, and it's impossible to even get their attention... I had to get up twice and ask them to come to our table
