Krichian's Grill Bistro - Paterson

Absolutely delicious! For appetizers, we had some middle-eastern delicacis: Fried Halloumi, arayes, and some hummus with pita. All of these apps were delicious! The halloumi was squeaky and salty. The arayes reminded me of a Mediterranean quesadilla minus the cheese , and hummus any time is a good time. I had gone with a group about 7+ , and ordered the lambchops $25 . It came with four pieces, some vegetable, and the option of either rice, lentils, or fries. As you can see in the photo, I had opted for the french-fry option. I did get a chance to try the lentils from a friend, and have to say, the lentils, too, were delicious! They had a yummy, caramalized onion, deep flavor. I asked the server in what preparation the lamb would taste best, and she said medium-well . It was indeed, the best way to have eaten it. After, we had a small cake we brought, and the servers were nice enough to sing Happy Birthday. We finished the evening ordering some hot teas and coffees, which were absolutely amazing. The coffee is a deep, not bitter, and very espresso-like. The residue remains at the bottom of the cup. 5/5

We went for a mid week lunch. My sister is half Armenian and has been looking for a restaurant that really has the foods of his childhood. This is a family owned place. The food was so good! subtle flavors that were not overpowering. We had several appetizers and our meals for a VERY reasonable price. Even though it is more than 1 hour away, this will be the Birthday tradition for my sister. Seated next to us was a man and his 94 year old Armenian mother who , he says, won't eat out any where else.

Looks like we're in the dining area of a house, very cute. There's even an enclosed outdoor area. But it was too hot to sit outside ; There was a large party taking up half the space. Luckily we made reservations. They were pretty boisterous. Service was excellent. Susan was very helpful as we've never had Armenian food. Bedros (not sure of the spelling was on point clearing plates and getting extra plates, utensils etc. Considering such a large party they still came to check on us regularly. : When we sat down they brought us basket of pitas and a plate of

Food was awesome. Try the mixed platter, dolmedes, tabuleh, all of them are perfect,and the falafel is the best. I couldn't give a 5 because they only have one waitress so the service may need some improvement.
