of the soul
For twenty-seven years, generations of guests have found their way to our doorstep on Pushkin Street — for the dolma, the courtyard, the 190-year-old vine, and an evening that feels like coming home.
A place that keeps family traditions of the finest quality.— Alena B., guest

Our Story
Twenty-seven years.
One table.
Dolmama opened her doors in 1998 in a quiet courtyard on Pushkin Street. The recipes came from one Armenian grandmother — Mama. The bread, the wine, the dolma rolled by hand each morning. Nothing else has changed.
Above the inner courtyard, a grape vine planted 190 years ago still bears fruit each summer. The same family welcomes you. The same care goes into every plate.
We are not a trend. We are not a concept. We are a kitchen, a courtyard, and a city's memory.
— The Dolmama Family
Three Generations
The Dish That Named Us
Dolma Dolmama.
Hand-rolled grape leaves wrapped around lamb mince and short-grain rice, slow-simmered, then plated with mountain mint, walnut yogurt, and pomegranate seeds from the Ararat valley.
It is the dish guests come back for. The dish that gave the restaurant its name. Three generations of perfecting one recipe.

The Courtyard
Under the 190-year
vine.
Step through the wooden door on Pushkin Street and the city falls away. Our inner courtyard — shaded by a grape vine planted before Armenian independence — has been the soul of Dolmama from the first day.
Summer evenings here are slow. Lanterns come on at dusk. Guests linger past midnight. This is where the city remembers itself.

A cozy restaurant with atmosphere and delicious food. We were here twice during our trip to Yerevan and left very satisfied each time. The dolma is tender, fragrant — with matsoun, walnuts, pomegranate. This is the place you want to return to.

A very cozy place. The summer terrace has a 190-year-old grape vine that still bears fruit. Beautiful, atmospheric, delicious. A wonderful establishment that has been running since 1998 and carefully preserves family traditions of the finest quality.

The interior is traditional with old pictures and decorations on the walls — beautifully captured. The food is generous and the wine list is genuinely Armenian. A jewel on Pushkin Street.
