Frequently asked questions

On the website or by phone. Online, add products to the cart: meat by weight in 500 g steps (you can also type the weight), everything else by the piece. Then enter your name, phone number and address, choose delivery or pickup and a time, and send the order. To order by phone, call 044 25 57 55. We take orders every day from 09:00 to 21:00.

No, nothing is paid on the website. After you send the order, we call you to confirm the exact weight and the final price, and we agree on payment during that call.

Meat is sold by weight and cut to order, so the exact weight, and with it the total, is known only once it is cut: a piece ordered as 1 kg can weigh a little more or less. We call with the exact figures before delivery. Prices marked “≈”, such as honey, are confirmed on the same call.

Yes. We cut meat in the shop to order: into pieces for skewers, to the thickness you ask for, into chops, or as a whole rack for lamb ribs, and we joint a village chicken on request. Write how you want it cut under “Order notes” at checkout, or tell us on the call.

About two hours from the moment the order is packed: a Yandex Delivery courier collects it and brings it to any address in Yerevan. At checkout you can instead pick an hour today or tomorrow, between 10:00 and 21:00 (today, no sooner than two hours ahead), or choose “I’ll confirm by phone” and agree on the time when we call.

Delivery is charged at the Yandex Delivery rate, which depends on the distance, and you pay it directly to the courier. We add no delivery fee of our own, so the total we confirm on the call is for your order only.

We deliver anywhere in Yerevan. For an address outside the city, call 044 25 57 55 or write to us before ordering, and we will tell you whether delivery is possible.

Yes. Choose “Pickup from the shop” at checkout. The shop is at 68 Barbusse Street, Yerevan, in the Arabkir district, and is open every day from 09:00 to 21:00.

Yes. We grill it over wood in the shop and pack it hot. Grilling costs 600 ֏ per kg of raw meat, on top of the price of the meat. For each started 2.5 kg of meat ordered for grilling, we add one cardboard box (300 ֏) and one lavash (200 ֏), both charged. For 3 kg of meat that makes 1,800 ֏ for grilling, 600 ֏ for boxes and 400 ֏ for lavash: 2,800 ֏ in all. At checkout, tick the meat you want grilled.

No. Beef and chicken kebab cost 1,000 ֏ each, raw or grilled. The grilling charge applies only to meat sold by weight.

For pork khorovats most people take chalaghaj, pork chop on the bone: it stays juicy and holds on the skewer. Boneless pork cooks faster and suits children, and ribs are grilled whole on a grate. Lamb ribs go on skewers or a grate; lamb cooks faster than pork, so watch that it does not dry out. Chicken wings with the shoulder grill well on skewers.

About 500 g of raw meat per adult when khorovats is the main dish, or 350 g when there are other dishes; count half for a child. Meat loses about a third of its weight on the fire, so 1 kg raw gives roughly 650–700 g grilled. For 10 adults you need about 5 kg of raw meat. The barbecue calculator on this site does the sum for any number of guests.

Our meat comes from villages and nearby farms. We cut it in the shop, to order.

Chalaghaj (Armenian չալաղաջ, Russian чалагач) is pork loin on the bone, cut into chops. It is the most common cut for Armenian khorovats. We sell it by weight and cut it into skewer pieces on request.
