The interior is interesting and original. But the service leaves much to be desired. Two times we pre-booked a table and two times we were put in some kind of room at the back. I can't wait for the waiter. It's a long wait for food. It was not delicious, they ordered eggplant with filling, the eggplant turned out to be burnt, and the filling was raw. Homemade bread is delicious. The dolma is medium, you can say edible. It seems that there are a lot of visitors because of the peculiar interior, so they don't really care about reputation. In general, there were bad impressions and there is no desire to return there, although back in 2021 we sat quietly in the main hall and ate quite delicious food, and the service was better.
The interior is chic, to the tune of the film "The Caucasian Captive". It's very atmospheric. As you walk to your table, you smile, remembering the plot of the famous comedy! The place is pop, there are a lot of people, so the food is not for 5 ku. The kebab is over-dried, khachapuri is very mediocre. The waiters are very slow. It is definitely worth visiting once, at least for the sake of the inter!! Every hour is a show performance. Hacky, but curious!))))
An interesting interior in the restaurant. Each table has its own quote from the movie of the same name. A small museum)
The portions are very large. Delicious.
The cocktails are named after the main characters of the film. I only "met" Nina and Shurik 👍
A very atmospheric place where everything reminds of the movie "The Caucasian captive"
Delicious food, of course the prices are high, but this is the restaurant!
The prices are high, the neck kebab was very mediocre, I did not expect this from a restaurant in the center of Yerevan. Overall, the atmosphere is good, the service is excellent.But there is a lot to strive for.
Everything is very tasty 🤤
We ate too much, we even took it with us) the restaurant is excellent, everything is thought out to the smallest detail. I advise you to visit more than once
The interior is wonderful, delicious dishes, large portions, professional staff, even entertaining rooms were found-all this creates an atmosphere and mood... I definitely recommend it!
They cook very well. The level of service is excellent. I visit them all the time. After 6 pm, a pleasant piano. In general, everything is super, I definitely recommend it to everyone.
His birthday was celebrated on March 13, 2025. There was an advertisement on the table saying that birthday people get a 20% discount. However, when calculating with a discount, additional requirements began to be put forward, such as buying a cake. Then they started demanding a passport, but they couldn't get a copy. As a result, the birthday girl had to run for her passport. We dragged the process out as best we could.
As a result, the evening was ruined.
It wasn't about the money, it was about the principle.
The food and the show leave much to be desired!
We arrived with my husband in Yerevan, decided to visit such a place advertised by bloggers on Amiryan Street "Caucasian captive". What can I say.... we thought we'd sit down and try different national dishes, but... The pork ribs have done their job. They were dry, the meat could not be chewed, the husband did not even eat them. When we told the waiter about it, the receptionist then came up to us and said that it meets the standards of cooking of our institution. Alas and ah! If these are the standards when guests (not just us) complain that it is impossible to eat, then...Draw conclusions, gentlemen! Another of the disadvantages, it seemed to me, we were not exactly welcome, since we came together and, probably, in their opinion, we would have ordered little.But, believe me, in other establishments we ordered many different dishes, and left decent checks.
Of the pros: sooo delicious eggplant salad! I recommend it!
And the guys -dancers, just fire, did the show perfectly!
Conclusion: do not listen to bloggers, the meat there is really tasteless. There are a lot of other places in Yerevan where you can have a great and delicious meal. We will not return here
Soooo satisfying, very tasty, a lot of people
The portions are huge
Cocktails are not very good, but why take them in such a place)
The meat is just wow!
The design is fire! Phrases from the film make you smile, create a mood, bring you back to the good old days) the attitude of the staff is friendly, the food is delicious, the portions are huge))
I didn't like the food, the meat was tough, the cheese was very greasy, the onion was just floating in oil, and there was a little liver inside. There was delicious tea, and I also liked that the artists danced a dance. But it's not worth going here for the sake of food, and this is still a restaurant.
Today we visited the restaurant "Caucasian captive". The interior is 5+. That's all. The food is not delicious, although we took different ones to try. We couldn't finish any of the dishes.
Now about the service: it's been a long time since we've seen such indifference to our guests. Asking questions about the composition of the dishes: the waiter at that time corresponded with someone and asked again what we had asked him.
The finale was that the waiter begged for tips, saying that what is indicated in the receipt 10% service fee does not suit them. Although, there was a desire not to even pay for food! I strongly do not recommend it! The owner needs to pay attention to the work of his staff. There are other beautiful places in Yerevan, but not the Caucasian captive.
A very atmospheric place! Everything is cool and detailed based on the film of the same name. The dishes are beautiful, large, khachapuri with double yolk, well, just lick your fingers. But the khinkali was pumped up, so sharp that the taste of the food was not felt. I didn't like them, even though they were juicy. It's good that the children took the cradle and potatoes, otherwise they would have to leave the khinkali, because it's impossible to eat!
Don't come here. The only plus is the friendly waiters. The food is 1 out of 5. The most not delicious restaurant of those in which we were, and at times less delicious. The menu is huge, the dishes are very mediocre.
There is a very large selection of dishes. The restaurant is decorated in the style of a movie... I liked it very much.... Everything is very tasty. The company consisted of 5 people... Not a single stop... Everyone ordered what they wanted... And traditional Russian-European :))) and national (mostly).... It's very tasty and soulful... Pleasant professional waiters
The waiter stole 2000 drams while carrying the change (brought 2000 less and the check was also gone), after that he also had the audacity to extort tips (with 10% tips included in the bill). In order for the administration to punish the scoundrel: we had lunch on 10/29.24 in the afternoon, ordered sterlet, kharcho and a cold dish of eggplant and pepper. We were sitting in the hall at the end of the restaurant, which you need to go to on the right side and turn left at the end. The waiter is a middle-aged man. Otherwise, there are no complaints, either about the food or the interior.
I haven't eaten anywhere tastier in Yerevan! The table was full of fragrant meat, vegetables, cheese, tortillas, wine and cognac! Everything was prepared quickly enough for a large company. Magic) I will be in Yerevan, I will definitely come back!
05.11.24 I was at the Caucasian Captive restaurant on Sayat-Nova 25.
I ordered a lamb kebab, barbecue sauce, Choban salad.
The salad is cut as large as possible, it tastes normal (fresh vegetables), the price is 1900 drams (almost 500 rubles.) for a simple vegetable salad, it is clearly overpriced.
But the apogee of the apotheosis was a barbecue - four small dry pieces on thin pita bread and a mountain of simple white onions that would tear your stomach to shreds. One of these four tiny pieces was impossible to chew because of the solid veins. The waitress asked if everything was okay. I honestly outlined the situation, the answer is generally expected: well, yes, probably a bit harsh meat… Well, yes, apparently in this institution it is completely normal for 3800 drams (900 rubles.) serve dry sole instead of juicy and soft meat.
Before I tried the kebab, I wanted to take another dessert, but the waitress could not clearly explain what cream was in the cakes, what they were made of, Googled and looked on the Internet…
After the barbecue, the desire to taste dessert disappeared completely.
They charge 10% for the service (in Portofino, the coolest Italian resort - 15%) - for what, it is not clear.
In general, there is no entourage at the restaurant, no service, no restaurant-level food. Apart from the pretentious prices, nothing hints at the restaurant.
Therefore, I do not understand the rave reviews, maybe I was so unlucky. Maybe on Amiryan 6 the quality is completely different, but I write as it is.
The mood is spoiled, expectations were not met (I went there after reading the reviews). The place is clearly overrated.
I put one star ONLY FOR LIVE MUSIC: the pianist played wonderfully there.
It's a good restaurant, but you can feel the atmosphere of modernity, not only in style, but also in smell. It's time to update the interior and replace the surroundings, otherwise there is a smell of mothballs and old age.
It's atmospheric inside, the interior is really good, and there are several beautiful photo zones.
About the food: we ordered meat on the grill, the only place in Armenia where we were served bones, not meat.
It's very atmospheric. You plunge into the entourage of your favorite Soviet cinema. Delicious and varied cuisine. Beautiful and incendiary dance numbers in national costumes.
There are 2 establishments with the same name in Yerevan. Here is a post about a restaurant on Amiryan Street.
The location is excellent. Several halls. It is better to make an appointment in the central hall in advance, there is a show program and it is usually busy. If you want to eat in a quieter environment, then go to the far one. A beautiful entourage from a famous movie.
There are many dishes on the menu that can satisfy anyone. Mutton, beef, pork, fish - everything is there. Delicious. I think the eggplant salad is one of the best in the city. Lamb kebab too.
There are problems with ventilation, big problems with sound quality, an atmospheric interesting place, not everyone cooks well (do not hesitate to call the manager when it is poorly cooked). Khinkali is very tasty, but they put a minimum amount of meat there. Shish kebab is cooked well, salads are also OK
Well, it's a very colorful place. We didn't regret that we decided to have dinner in this particular place. Everything is very tasty! Thank you very much!
The establishment is 9+ out of 10) they are very tasty, the staff is super, the interior makes you pull out your phone and take a few photos as a keepsake
We went in for breakfast - breakfast was not provided, they said that the cook had not arrived yet (it was 11 a.m.). I had to order salads and tea. Of the four dishes ordered, I liked only tea. I don't recommend it.
An interesting place, a large menu. Everyone has something to choose from. They took aveluk, tongue, khinkali and kebab. It was delicious. Of course, the service is not prompt and not all the waiters are friendly, they just walk around with a dissatisfied face.
The food is delicious, the cuisine is clean, the atmosphere is just great, the waiters are polite, I really liked it, I advise everyone to definitely go
The place is a tourist destination, there are a lot of visitors, so now there is zero. Only big companies are welcome. If you came as a couple, then you are not welcome, we were taken to a separate small hall near the kitchen, completely forgotten by people, no coziness or comfort, when asked to sit in a large hall (there were 5 empty tables), they replied that everything was registered, which is clearly not true, some tables were simply not cleaned (people had just left).
We went in the evening, there were no seats, asked to reserve a table for lunch, said that it was not necessary, it was free at lunch, come. We came, but somehow I didn't want to sit in the restaurant behind the kitchen, with free tables and almost all free separate rooms for the company.
Prices are above average, and the level of service is exceptionally low, as tourists go for the sake of the name and see the statues of their favorite movie characters. The composition is interesting, and the statues themselves are of extremely low quality, only a distant similarity.
Make your own conclusion: the restaurant refused to board 2 people in anticipation of large companies, when the restaurant is loaded 50%. Well, that is, he did not refuse, but offered to sit in the backyard behind the kitchen.
If you are satisfied with this attitude towards yourself (and many are satisfied, judging by the crammed small hall behind the kitchen), then this is your choice.
Great place, great cuisine. attention: Very large portions! Be careful. Well, the fact that the WORLD cards are accepted is super. I realized only after 2 days, having suffered problems with payments 🙂
- There are no hostesses, you go downstairs and no one needs you. - Not tasty fatty pasta with veal. + Beautiful and interesting interior. + Accept the world card.
The most beautiful restaurant I've been to, the interior, the atmosphere is so atmospheric, these cool phrases and very, very tasty food, I'm really delighted
It's a cool format of the place, but it's too noisy, zero privacy.
For those who want to visit, you need to understand that it will be noisy, fun and delicious.
For the guests of Yerevan, it is one of the places that must be honored.
But I'll still keep the score for the noise and lack of restaurant service))))
