Serevan - Amenia

This was undoubtedly one of my top 10 culinary experiences. We were eager to try food from a different culture and, after hearing great things about Serevan, we decided to make the trip from Brooklyn to Hudson Valley. Our meal began with a delicious yogurt soup that set the tone for the evening. For the main course, we enjoyed a delightful sweet and savory fish dish along with braised lamb shanks. Both dishes were cooked to perfection, and the flavor profiles were simply exquisite. To finish, we indulged in Armenian coffee cake for dessert, which was absolutely fantastic. It was a pleasure to witness the culinary artistry of the owner. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. If you're looking for a restaurant where the food is prepared with love and passion, I highly recommend giving Serevan a try.

Serge is an exceptionally generous chef, truly the embodiment of hospitality. His fusion of Iranian and Armenian local dishes makes Serevan a unique and special destination. It is a must-visit for anyone looking to explore new flavors or perhaps reconnect with the tastes of the old world. A true gem and a delightful experience!

My wife, sister-in-law, nephew and sister-in-law went to my sister-in-law on 5/7/2022. My wife and sister-in-law are half Armenian. Let me first say that the old house, which is located in the restaurant, has a lot of character and offers beautiful ambience for the culinary experience. We started ordering roasted eggplants and roasted chicken wings. My sister-in-law said that the roasted eggplant was the same that her mother used her father when they grew up. The chicken wings were extremely tasty and were served over a salad from this world. My main course was the Moroccan chicken bastilla, which was tastefully seasoned, with what my wife tasted like cinnamon, and the pastry case in which she was served was tender and liquid. My nephew had the flank steak he said was Oh my God, that's so good. My wife had the dorms while my sister-in-law had the scallops. My sister-in-law commented that the size of the scallops and the portion size was perfect. The portion sizes were simple enough to you want more, but don't leave you hungry. Trust me you want seconds, so good. The coating was very skillful, very clean and welcoming. The deserts we ordered ranged from cheesecake and from baklava to sticky cake. All deserts were well made and very artistically presented. The owner came past a point to see how everything was and was very personal, polite and engaged. My wife, sister-in-law and the owner spoke in Armenian and Arabic and talked about where another part of their families came from. We will certainly go back for more in the future. If you are in the area or visit, you will pay them a visit. They won't be disappointed. I would recommend this restaurant without hesitation.

Wonderful experience! The food is slightly exotic, but definitely worth the journey. The lamb was perfectly cooked and served alongside a side of rice with apricots. The appetizer was a delightful assortment of various flavors; it was rich and flavorful. Truly a pleasure, and I can't wait for my next visit!

Always a wonderful experience. The food is exotic and well executed. The ambience is fantastic with the fireplace, a cozy bar and always friendly staff. The chef is usually around checking in to make sure everything is good as well. Highly recommended and well worth the drive.
