[net.veg] Armenian Restaurant in Phoenix

TO ALL LOVERS OF GOOD FOOD:

I was in Phoenix, AZ on business two weeks ago and I discovered a
*wonderful* restaurant.  The place is actually in Scottsdale, and
is called "Armenia."

I had a wonderful lunch consisting  of  tabboule  salad,  stuffed
grape  leaves,  and  a  yogurt  dish with fresh cucumbers (I have
forgotten the name of that one).  I especially enjoyed it because
I am a vegetarian and there were quite a few different vegetarian
dishes in the appetizers section.   In  addition  to  the  dishes
above, falafel and about four others vegetarian dished are listed
on the menu.  However,  there  are  also  many  meat  dishes  (in
particular,  a  lot  of  lamb).   The  food  is all freshly made,
including homemade yogurt and freshly marinated  olives  (from  a
tree outside the restaurant).

The prices were reasonable and  the  service  was  excellent!   I
talked with the owner and asked him why there weren't more people
there during the lunch hour.  He replied that people would rather
eat fast food than quality food.  Well, I thought that there must
be a lot of people that would like to know about places like this
so  I  told  him  I'd  put  an  article on the net describing the
restaurant.

So all you folks in Phoenix, or if you will be traveling there, I
recommend  checking  this  place  out  (I'm  getting  hungry just
talking about it).

Here's a pseudo-copy of their business card:
