Often described as Yerevan's best restaurant, Dolmama's is housed in a rustic 19th-century dwelling. The menu focuses on eastern Armenian dishes with additional flare including dolma (stuffed vine leaves) khashlama (meat stewed in wine) and khoravats (barbecue) with mulberry sauce. Its wine selection is excellent and strictly Armenian. Esteemed guests have included Hillary Clinton, Vladimir Putin and George Clooney.
