Araks Restaurant in Vilnius

Place very nice. Food is ok: some perfect, some very average. Waiters bubbly, waitresses quite arrogant

Very delicious Armenian and Sakartvelian(Georgiancousine

Brother found this on our journey back to our hotel and it did not dissappoint one bit. It deserves all the stars! Food was AMAZING, hot, and full of flavor. Views were stunning and staff was very friendly. Has been my favorite restaurant in Europe by far. Must try!

Well-established Armenian restaurant in the outskirts of Vilnius. Beautiful location by the lake. Prices are at par or higher than restaurants in downtown Vilnius. The famous Georgian bread Khachapuri is €12.50; kharcho soup 6€, various fish/meat kebabs €12.5-15.5. It’s a mix of Caucasian, Lithuanian cuisine, the only truly Armenian thing is the ownership and mineral water from what I was able to observe.

Good food, good service

Fantastic plase to eat. Delicious food, very friendly staf, big portions. Parking.Weekends it is better to pre book a table.

Delicious

Very good cuisine

Really calm and cozy place outside of Vilnius. You have to go there by car, otherwise only with taxi.Food was nice, but my ribs shashlik was quite hard and little bit unpleasant. Olives were nothing special. However all other things were good. Soup was really nice and meat was tender, turkey shashlik was also tender. Lava cake was very nice.Waitress and was really friendly and helpful.

Good food. A little lousy service.

Loved it.

Very friendly staff that interacted with kids. Food was delicious, despite lamb chops being slightly overcooked. Armenian vine is a must try. Worth going away from Vilnius.

Good staff, a bit pricey

Nice food, but quite simple, same with people around.

Excellent food. And amazing views. Definitely drop in for famous soup harčo and lavash.

Very tasty traditional Armenian food. Highly recommended!

Poor, not welcoming service. Asked for kids pencils never got it. Food is ok, but expected better.

Restaurant is located in a very nice place, close to water. It has plenty places to sit outside, wooden terrace. The food is quite nice, especially soups - hashlama, charchio. Chicken we chose to eat for lunch was so so. Howeve, it was more than enough for two. Reachable only by car or other transport. Nearby other two restaurants are located.

Very nice view, prices are harsh, but not so much, because the porsions are big!

We have been enjoying the food at the restaurant and kept on coming back but yesterday the shashlyk was way below the standard. It felt like it has been warmed up from the day before. Also, in spite of the reminder from our side, they forgot to bring our tap water (which is charged forand charged us for a take-way box. In addition, we had to wait for about 20 min to make a payment, first at the table and then at the till. We felt that the quality and the service do not match the prices...

Although they are heavy on the dill, this is good food and a nice place on the lake. There is also a childrens playground area close

Variety of Armenian dishes. Food was good. Very long waiting time. Probably worth reserving a table.

Nice place with a lovely view to a lake with food and service that doesnt remind the old good days of this same restaurant. The visit started with a waiter who was raising her voice at clients and making everyone feel guilty for any question they might have on the menu. The outside tables stood in complete silence, no atmospheric music, just random shouts of a waiter. The grilled trout stake was just an overcooked piece of fish fat. Sides were pieces of tasteless veggies and rice. At the same time chicken was undercooked, the meat wasnt fresh, had an odd taste. The food price and quality ratio isnt favourable. Also, in order to substitute side (which is a pile of puffy rice for both fish and chicken), client has to pay extra.

Soups and chacapuri were really tasty, but grill meat was overcooked, unfortunatelly.

Nice Caucasian food and very good local spirits! You should try soups as well!

Surprisingly good!!! Near big HBH, it features simple kitchen, decent espresso and wonderful porch!!! Light is valued, especially mid-November.

Food is just decent, definitely not worth the price. Its ok place to visit once for some kinda authentic food

It was a lovely place to have dinner. The service was pretty good and quick and the atmosphere is stunning. There were plenty of interesting choices and they were delicious too! The views of the river were beautiful and pleasant to view during our meal.

Superb food, affordable prices.Restaurant located in nice place.

Really nice place with very very sad food. Do not go there if you like meat. We tried different dishes, all of them were either real bad quality meat, or overcooked. It was just sad.

Cool 👍

Great food and drinks for a fair price, lovely place with a beautiful lake behind the restaurant

Really good service, nice view. Food could be better, portions - bigger. Meat was a bit dry and hard.

Had to wait a bit, but food was amazing. It reminded our trip to Georgia. They have nice seats outside with the view to the lake. It gets a bit busy in those outside tables so booking could be a good idea but you should also keep in mind that they allow smoking in those outside the tables so it could be not so pleasurable experience if someone will be smoking near you. I hope they will not put ashtrays on those outside tables

Loved it! The restaurant exceeded my expectations. Portions were big, meat was soft and full of taste. I would definitely visit again and recommend it to others. The staff was friendly.

Very tasty, well prepared and presented, be ready for the well sized portions. The staff are courteous, but so are most of Lithuanians anyway. Ive been on many occasions and have always been more than satisfied.

Satisfying and filling food. Rich soups - be careful, after soup its hard to beat other dishes . Not annoying or too slow service.

One of the best restaurants near/ in Vilnius, always superb meat quality, and good prices

Visited a few times. The main Araks dish is tasty and filling. Great wine and snack selection as well.The service is typically quick and the view is great when sitting outside on the porch. Recommended!

Great authentic food, beautiful surroundings, attentive staff. Liked very much!

My favorite in town chacapuri, chinkali and dolmas. Great place to celebrate special occasions, but I noticed that to me just going there is already special occasion :Beautiful view to a lake and good food.

I used to come to this restaurant 7-8 years ago. Now, in 2018, after 8 years, I found the same high quality grilled food. I liked it. Staff is friendly too. Nice place, especially when you are sitting outdoor on summer evening. Lake in front of you creates special atmosphere here!Place is not cheap, but it worth it. Some food is oily/with lot of fat, so ask and will select a good option from the menu.

Super Location...top Essen

Pretty good food, mostly the soups they have. So delicious. On the other hand seemed that the weiteres had a bit too much of work (even though it was tuesday and not too crowdedtherefore few times we needed to wait longer for drinks as we should. However she was really nice and all in all we spent a nice evening there.

One of the best šašlykas in Vilnius, but certainly not the cheapest

Very tasty barbeque 😀

Nice restaurant with nice view and convenient location, however at the summer time being outside will require you to fight off mosquitos.

Perfect armenian cuisine. Very nice stuff. Quite nice view trough windows. Only one bad thing, there is not much activities for small children

Great meat of all kinds, amazing wine. Try the "Noahs Ark" if youre three people or more - its a collection of four different meat kabobs and lots of vegetables.This is one of my favourite places to bring guests.

Best Armenian cuisine in Vilnius. Pomegrenade wine is especial, shashlyk is heavenly
