Erebuni Restaurant, Bar & Lounge in Islington

Super friendly, great food and good vodka! Will be back.

best restaurant I've been to in a while legit good spot that will make you genuinely happy. amazing service as well without a doubt.

If you are thinking about it, please come here. Erebuni is just so delicious and great service.

I liked the atmosphere, the food and the work. The food was amazing, everything was clean and tidy.

Loved this restaurant! We were looking for some Armenian food and found just that. The staff were amazing and knew exactly what we wanted, even advising some amazing Georgian wine. Very authentic experience and would totally recommend.

We went on a Wednesday night and the place was already starting to fill up and it was early, the place is lively and loud and everybody there seems to want to try everything on the menu, we would recommend the KHACHAPURY and also the Khinkali both of which were really good. The team there can help you but just be careful you don't eat too much as there is a lot of bread in the food so you can fill up fast! there is a good choice of wine to go along with the food One point to remember fromThursday onwards it is open late! which is worth remembering as it is open till 2am at the weekend!!!

The best Armenian experience I have had outside of Armenia! Great family fun business with the most amazing Khinkali and Armenian Dolma + Baklava… will be back

If you go to karaoke and order drinks check the final bill. We’ve been several times and every time they’ve added extra positions to the check .

Very clean place. very welcoming, amazing food and drinks. Owner was super lovely. 10/10

loved this place, great range of georgian, armenian and russian food and great atmosphere. owner gave us a free shot of vodka at the end too :)

Great Lamb Shaslyk. The best one I had in London so far. Very friendly owner.

Excellent experience! Excellent service by the Armenian couple. We loved the quality of food and variety of options, as we were a group of 9 we were able to try out several Georgian and Armenian dishes. Definitely a place we'll go back.

Absolutely amazing place. Great variety of very delicious food. Lovely atmosphere and welcomed stuff.

Very tasty and authentic food from Russia and Georgia. Got me back to Russia after getting the Borsch. Pielmini and Blini were exceptional. I can only recommend this place for a nice and different experience for anyone looking for good Euroasian food!

Food was alright, prices a bit high. We were the only ones there on Friday night

Nice Soviet style restaurant with tasty food

Excellent in all aspects, just what it should be!

Great food and lovely restaurant!

Absolutely loved the Georgian Khoi Lali and acharski khachapuri. The service was perfect and food was delicious.

Came here for dinner with friends. The staff were really friendly and accommodating. We all did mixed starters but the Blinis were the tastiest. The pork shish kebab was also very juicy and flavourful. The desserts were honestly very sweet. And they do have a karaoke room for hire just below the restaurant.

One of my favourite restaurants in the world. Been here many times, and will be back many more. Delicious food and lovely service every time

One of the best restaurants i have ever been

好吃的，干锅牛蛙很香！！配菜很足！！！娃娃菜好吃！！！都好吃！！！！推荐！！！

Absolutely THE BEST Armenian, USSR and Georgian food in London!! I love this restaurant!! I went here for dinner with my family, every dishes we ordered were heavenly delicious!! Although the waiting time for the food was quite long, but it was worth it. For starters, I love the Selodka Pod Shuboy the most, we ended up ordered another one after dessert, highly recommended!! For main course, I ordered the Khashlama, the lamb was so soft and tender, taste amazing with the veggies! And dessert was delicious too! The owner (I guess) was very friendly and fun with good service! We had a very enjoyable evening! I was surprised that we were the only customers there on that night, maybe because it was a weekday.

We were a party of 5 celebrating my son's graduation from UCL and we had an amazing night. Outside the weather was cold, windy and drab but inside the atmosphere was so welcoming and warm! Our starters (see picture) were all sensational- veal tongue with horseradish, chebureki (lamb patties) and a delicious herring salad- so good we ordered it again as a final dish. Main courses continued in the same vein- the standout dish being the lamb chops in an unctuous, sumptuous tomato, peppers, onion and beer sauce. Best of the desserts was the Napoleon cake- lick the spoon clean! While the food was exquisite and the ambience and decor most comfortable and welcoming, it was the vodka that surprised us the most! Who knew neat vodka could taste so good and moreish? Oh, thanks again for the complementary shot on leaving. And best of all was the service from Edward- did I mention our complementary shots? Aside from that he was quick, attentive, good-humoured and from start to finish we felt we were in very safe hands which were going to ensure we were well fed and had a great time. We're not in London very often but when we are we'll definitely go again. Top class!

War alles sehr lecker, wir wurden freundlich empfangen. Ich kann das Restaurant auf jeden Fall weiter empfehlen

Delightful spot serving food & drink from in and around Armenia & Russia.

Very nice venue, spacious, large tables with lots of sitting area, nicely decorated. Food on the other hand were not so good. Cheburek/чебурек was very disappointing, tiny amount of lowish quality tasteless meat, ukha/уха (mixed fish soup) we had to send away, was not balanced with overpowering lemon . Veal and mushrooms julien was very tasty (tiny portion that suits me well if it was priced accordingly to size), pork and beef kebabs/шашлыки were nice, again so overpriced. Enjoyed very nice dry red wine Marani Mukuzani, highly recommend that. I would have given Erebuni 3 starts over food were not so overpriced, £175 for 2 people with just glasses of wine (not a bottle). The drinks were competitively priced but the food was overpriced for the portions.

Excellent Georgian / Armenian restaurant. Sapid khatchapouri. Exquise kinzmaraouli, a sweet red wine.

Amazing food ! We are fond of Georgian cuisine but even if it's a new experience we can highly recommend, you won't be disappointed ☺️

Absolutely incredible food! Restaurant is fun vibe, and the owner is wonderful

Прекрасное, разнообразное меню. Умело накрытые столы. Вежливый персонал. Получила удовольствие от уютной атмосферы и вкусной еды. Спасибо. Удачи и дальнейшего процветания Вашему ресторану.

One of the best of the best, food was delicious, mouthwatering lamb chops with rice. The xachapury was just fabulous. A must try in London.

Went in there for a quick beer, £16.00 for two very average pints! Did not try the food but it did look nice.

The food was beyond bad, embarrassment to amazing Armenian cousine. Chebureki were cooked way in advance and reheated in microwave, soggy dough and tasteless filling. Manti again were precooked, almost no broth inside. The waitress' very unwelcoming attitude was quite entertaining though))) There are many similar restaurants in London. This one is definitely not worth that money

I can’t recommend. Food isn’t tasty 🤮

The food and the staff were amazing. We absolutely loved our experience there. We highly recommend this restaurant.

Great food, lovely family vibe.

Sadly disappointed in this restaurant. We had several plates (a potato salad, several types of dumplings, etc) but all of them were very bland and the meat was low quality. Also, they charged us for bread we didn't ask for (in addition to the service charge). Overpriced for what it offers.

Reseñas falsas, sólo un camarero y malo. Comida regular y anectoda: pido vino rose precio 22 € no tiene y me recomienda otro armenio de 30€……..no recomendable, elegir otro!!!!

Amazing service ⭐ Very unique and cosy! Perfect place for experiencing post soviet food!

Wonderful service, amazing food, huge menu to choose from. The wines were delicious plus the home made vodka the owner makes is to die for. This restaurant is a must try.

Really nice food from largely Russian speaking regions in Armenia, Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova and Russia itself. Some great cooking that tastes home made and an interesting drinks menu. Warm service and good food here. Prices ok.

Delicious fresh beautifully cooked genuine food and lovely wine. I absolutely enjoyed everything we ordered and had a phenomenal time. Pleasant service too. I highly recommend for any low-key situation when you crave real food.

I was really looking forward to trying Armenian food with my friends so we found this place on google. It was a very disappointing experience from the start. The waiter/owner was grumpy and not very welcoming. He was the only person working so the service was slow. I noticed that my coke did not taste very nice so I checked the sell by date and it was two years out of date and so was my friend’s. The starters arrived all separately rather than together and the “Armenian Pizza” Laimajo, was completely burnt around the edges, it was black and shouldn’t have been served. I then ordered a chicken shahlyk kebab for my main which cost £19, so I did not even hesitate to think that it would be chicken breast, but unfortunately it was chicken thigh which to me feels like they are using cheap cuts of meat and charging a premium. They also charged £2.50 for some chilli sauce. My entire meal for the kebab and some bread cost £40 the restaurant is completely overpriced. The service was very slow and my kebab didn’t arrive until my friends had finished their mains. I did ask the waiter/owner to remove the out of date drinks from the bill and he did not even apologise once, he just got even grumpier! I then had to tell him to get a new bill so it amends the service charge. We reluctantly paid the £11 service charge as the man was so grumpy we were scared that he would become angry! Worst restaurant experience I have EVER had.

Four of us who had never eaten this cuisine before, had an excellent meal. I would recommend the Khashlama and chicken Tabaka. The host was very helpful and welcoming.

Amazing Georgian food. Nowhere in London like it

Amazing food and pomegranate wine.

Amazing food, drink, service and loved the decor and atmosphere! Will definitely be coming again. Have the pomegranate wine ready for me! X

Amazing authentic Armenian food. Delicious menu, friendly and welcoming staff, a lovely, magical experience. 5 star.

Erebuni is among my favourite restaurants in London. It has an unflinchingly authentic atmosphere, created by the warm, generous family behind the bar. The food is always an absolute pleasure, not to mention a rarity in London — an enticing combination of Armenian, Russian, Balkan and old Kartvelian foods that are almost never found on menus in the capital. I advise at least one trip here if you're in London and you've ever felt the warmth of Russian cuisine, it will take you back there instantly, and you'll be invited to cap it off with a round of enlivened vodka, on the house! I haven't even mentioned the world class Karaoke bar in the basement of course, but I'll let you discover that on your own.

What a fantastic restaurant. Located 2 minutes from Barbican tube station. Walking into the restaurant I felt like I had been transported back to Georgia. Menu is very extensive and hearty (meaty). The owners are lovely. The service is excellent. If you turn up at 6pm you get to pick your seating. The restaurant is very large with a beautiful open bar. Every dish arrived beautifully presented. The portions are generous. The flavours are wonderful and authentic. This would make a great party venue. I am very grateful to the staff and owners of the restaurant for such a lovely evening.

Love to go in this restaurant. Exquisite food and really good staff.

Food is very delicious but they are outrageously overcharging people. Drinks are ridiculously expensive (even the basic ones) and will destroy your bill. Yes, the host will offer you free shots once or so but that’s a drop in the ocean compared to how they overcharge you in the end.

Erebuni restaurant serves really tasty food. Owner Eduard was talking through the menu for us to understand what is what and the giving us some tips how it is best to eat certain foods. Atmosphere of this place suits for couples on a date or just to go there with a group of people

Очень вкусная єда ) Приятний персонал прткрасное караоке!!! Всем советую посетить еребуни Ресторан

Вкусно, есть выбор пива, владелец дружелюбный.

The food is authentic and amazing! Very friendly service highly recommend it!!👍🏼

Amazing place, wonderful food the service and the owner - are legendary!

This is a great restaurant both for people who know and love Armenian and traditional Russian/Soviet food, and anyone new to it. The menu is diverse and caters to whatever you fancy and the food is made with real attention and care. My advice is to be a little bit patient as good food does take a little bit of time to come, but trust me it is 100% worth it. The host, Edward, definitely deserves a special mention - great chat and makes you feel very welcome. Big thank you for making my birthday celebration really enjoyable! Will definitely come back soon and bring more friends along.

This is one of the best places I have ever been to. The staff are so welcoming, we had a lot of questions about the dishes, the waiter (who I think is the owner) was absolutely lovely, he answered all our questions and even recommended us dishes and what drinks would go best with them. Such a wide variety of different foods and each food went well with a specific wine or vodka. Erebuni restaurant is definitely a must try! A piece of heaven on earth. All restaurants should have this type of hospitality.

Absolutely wonderful food, lovely people and an all round brilliant experience. The lady who looked after us was only too happy to advise on what was best to go for and which things we might enjoy. The food was properly authentic and all cooked on sight with very fresh ingredients which had only just been bought. The atmosphere was lovely, beautiful ceiling lights. Also a good selection of vodkas! Loved it and will definitely be back :)

Fantastic restaurant very friendly family run business with enjoy and interesting authentic menu choices. Very pleasant experience definitely would return. Thank you.

Awesome place to enjoy russian/armenian food! Very friendly staff and superb service! If you are looking for tasty food, look no further! Hello to Eduard, Top man!

Serving Georgian and Russian food not in the best quality.

Fantastic food and super welcoming staff!

Семейный бизнес. Хозяева приветливые и приветливые. Действительно очень хорошо. Рекомендуемые.

Super borscht, selections of vodka, friendly service and delicious Armenian Georgian and Russian specialities. Highly recommended.

Wonderful meal this evening, had the erebuni cheese pie to start and the ‘Ker u Sus’ (Eat and Be Quiet) main. Different from most other cuisines yet easy to find lots of nice options on the extensive menu. Would recommend to anyone.

Ожидали большего, были очень разочарованы(Очень долго ждали блюда, настолько долго, что успели устать! ( насчитывайте часа на 3, не меньше) Помещение и Мебель требуют ремонта( диваны заклеены скотчем), Столовые приборы - как в советской столовке, старые, дешевые, поцарапанные, вызывают брезгливость!Не вкусно!Обслуживание, не сказать что на высоте, дорого( не стоит тех денег, которые они просят) за обслуживание 20% включено в счёт!Не рекомендую, мы точно больше ни ногой! В Росси они бы и месяца не проработали с таким качеством блюд(((

Спасибо большое, очень приятная атмосфера и вкусная еда!

Great atmosphere and a tasty food

The Place is really authentic and nice. The owner and the waitress are very kind, they served as with the best attention and the owner offered us some vodka at the end of the dinner having a toast with us! Despite that, a minor remarks is needed: the servise was super but a slightly attention need to be paid on the table dressing. For example the fork and the spun were put on the table without something behind them. We had 7/8 starter, 5 soups with nice bread cooked with cheese and eggs, 5 dumplings, 2 desserts, a glass of good wine and 13/14 shots of vodka per person ( we were 5 people ). We paid 350£. It was worthy dinner with very high quality food. We would have provided with 5 stars, but the table question was I important in my opinion. We will be back there soon !

Great Armenian food. Very much like the food I used to have in Armenia.

Awesome Armenian dishes. Service was good and food was very delish.

Very delish Armenian food. Was not expecting to find real Armenian food here in london but was pleasantly surprised. They cater more of Nortern Armenian food, vs wester(Turkish/Arabic) or eastern (persian/Iranian) Armenian.

Excellent food and drinks! The owner (Eduard) is friendly and the whole atmosphere is nice, relaxing and pleasant. Recommend it for a date dinner or just dinner with friends.

Wide range of dishes, homemade taste and quality and nice atmosphere. Apparently a family business. The hosts are ultimately welcoming and friendly. We got shots of vodka and raspberry liquor as compliments at the end of the meal.

This is a good place to eat, drink and relax. It has a good atmosphere and a warm welcome.

Heerlijk gegeten super vriendelijke eigenaar

Very delicious Eastern European cuisine. Very home made food with love. Thank you Erebuni. Best Restaurant in London.

First for me, Georgian restaurant. Good service and great food.

A missed opportunity to taste good quality food from Eastern Europe and the Caucasus while in London. Staff was attentive and the local wines were good. I appreciated the wide range of different dishes on the menu, but the quality of some of them was just sufficient to their price. I definitely expected more for what I paid.

I’ve been looking for a place that does proper Russian/Georgian food for years in London and this one is an instant favourite. The staff were so lovely and the food was absolutely delicious - the dumplings really seemed like they were made to order (!!!). Been dreaming about their khachapuri ever since. Huge props also for offering lots of nice veg options in addition to all the traditional meaty stuff

Recently visited this restaurant and will definitely go back!!! Food was amazing!!! So many flavours and feels like it was cooked with love - true feeling of home cooked food!!! Few days after the visit and I’m still thinking about Khachapuri 😋 Laura is such a lovely person. She gave us so much information about Armenia which we are planning to visit next spring.

Beer is good plus tasty cheesy bread barsnacks!

If you enjoy to be treated with respect and kindness this is the place that you should go. Excellent meal by the way. We got great recommendations from our host.

Amazing service and amazing food! Laura is a lovely girl always up to a nice chat and Eddy will never let you down with a good laugh and a shot of their frozen amazing vodka! Recommended for a meal or for a cheeky drink after work

Thank you Erebuni for a memorable evening. Will be definitely back soon. Delicious food, great ambience, service was attentive got many good recommendations from the waitress, great choice of wines for the food and then even more bigger choices for their home made flavoured vodkas that just gives the perfect end to the perfect night.

Last night we've been hugely overcharge at Erebuni. Our bill was doubled and included already paid drinks and food. As we was a large party, some people left early and paid but our final bill included everything again. We have been pushed to pay twice. Also, the prices in the menu were different from the bill we received.

Conveniently located near Barbican Station. Food was great with a nice mix of Armenian, georgian and Russian cuisine . We ordered beetroot soup, khinkali, khachapuri, pirashki, lamb shish, wine.. Not a very easy menu for a beginner though

Приятная атмосфера, сейчас живая музыка. Ооооочень всё вкусно 😋

Great food. Best host. Simply amazing

Great food! Interesting tasty plates! And the service really friendly!

always one in a million service from laura and eddie! you feel like you’re part of the family and eddie will stop at no bounds to be the most hospitable guy. love this place and the people who work here. do not miss a visit!

We celebrated our 27th wedding anniversary dinner at the restaurant on Saturday night food was delicious and excellent service try the lamb chop or pork dish !!!!

Small Russian and Armenian restaurant. Good service. Portions small for price. My first Russian restaurant so somewhat hard for me to rate.

Vine aquí para cenar temprano después de asistir a la exhibición de AI en Barbican. ¡Qué lugar espléndido! Una bienvenida muy cordial, que nos permite sentarse en uno de los "banquetes", aunque solo éramos dos. Un vino favorito de estilo georgiano Saperavi y una limonada de estragón ruso son un buen comienzo de la noche, y el omnipresente Khachapury, verdaderamente delicioso, espera a los entrantes del carnoso ucraniano Borsh y Khinkali, magníficas albóndigas de ternera georgianas tradicionales. Estos fueron espléndidos. Los platos principales también eran excelentes; Chanakhy: un estofado de cordero y verduras de estilo georgiano, y Ker U Sus (¡Come y quédate tranquilo!) Un plato armenio hecho con filetes de res, tomates, pimientos verdes y rojos, guisantes, pepinillos y cilantro fresco, servido con papas fritas . ¡Qué fiesta! Gran comida tipo "cocina casera", con pocos lujos pero exquisitamente cocinados. Una cerveza checa Kozel fue un gran acompañamiento para estos. He viajado mucho en Europa del Este y estos platos eran tan buenos como los que he probado. El restaurante comenzó a llenarse a medida que avanzaba la noche, pero el ambiente era excelente, con una buena mezcla de europeos del este y clientes británicos. Sin duda volveremos.
