Shaghig

Shaghig is a restaurant on Zakyan Street in Yerevan, serving what it calls a Western Armenian and Mediterranean menu — dishes drawing on the Middle East, Armenia and Greece side by side. The kitchen lists items like knefe (sweet cheese pastry with syrup), foul (stewed fava beans), and fatteh (layered chickpea and toasted bread dish), priced individually on the menu.

Beyond the sit-down menu, Shaghig runs a subscription line called BALANCE, offering daily prepared meals, and sells semi-finished products meant for home cooking. The restaurant takes reservations, does delivery and takeout, and serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, along with coffee, wine, beer and cocktails.

It has outdoor seating and allows dogs, with a children's menu and a stated live-music offering — useful details if you're weighing it for a group or a family stop rather than a quick coffee.

Shaghig sits in Yerevan proper, about 1 km west of the city center in straight-line distance, on Zakyan Street.
