Description

Set on the third floor of Centria Mall in the heart of the Olaya district, this Armenian restaurant has a rustic style with a warm, authentic feel. Its two rooms have a stone-faced décor, wood flooring and a central kitchen partially on view between the two areas, while a small terrace offers a street vista. The menu is extensive, offering appealing, authentic Armenian dishes. Take your pick from fresh salads, appetisers such as delicious cheese borak and some great Middle Eastern dips – but certainly don’t miss their classic kebabs and signature honey cake.

Review summary

Located on the second floor of a Riyadh shopping center, Lusin offers refined Armenian and Mediterranean cuisine. Most reviewers praise the high food quality, highlighting dishes like pumpkin soup, cherry sauce kebabs, stuffed cabbage, and inventive salads. The ambiance is elegant, and service is generally described as impeccable and swift. However, negative feedback points to poor value for money, with some finding the food average relative to the high prices. Issues include limited buffet variety, unresponsive booking systems, and instances of aggressive upselling. While it serves as an excellent introduction to Armenian culinary traditions, diners should be aware of potential inconsistencies in service and pricing.

Suitable for diners seeking refined Armenian cuisine who are less sensitive to price.
