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: ARMENIA Steak & Kabob Restaurant George Mardirossian The Armenian Restaurant 7055 E.
