Sat Sep 26 13:49:17 -0700 2009 14274 Angelina 1 5060535 Not Armenian, but there is a Georgian restaurant in Warren on Route 22. Since Armenia borders Georgia, I figure the cuisines must be similar. HOWEVER, my one and only experience at this place, which is called Georgian Street Scene, was poor. One other person also posted about this restaurant and his experience was, if anything, worse. Perhaps we need a third opinion! :-)) http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/650854 I have a friend who is Armenian so if no one else comes forward with an answer I will give her a call.

Geographically, Turkey and Armenia are next door neighbors too so there must be a lot of overlap in their cuisines. Turkish restaurants have been discussed several times on the board. Just do a search. Sun Sep 27 11:25:39 -0700 2009 5061497 57768 ambrose 4 5063282 Thanks ambrose. I think I have been to almost every Greek and Turksih restaurant in NJ. lol!! Thanks for your help. My girlfriend is Armenian, but she lives in Manhattan, and does not come over to NJ to dine, which I don't blame her. I just love her cooking, and thought maybe someone knew of a little gem I overlooked! Thanks for your posts and your help!

(I know of at least two restaurants named "Sahara" which are actually Lebanese. Why is that?) Thu Oct 08 06:15:10 -0700 2009 5087500 323646 eleeper
