Sarki's


Thames 1101, at Jufre; Tel. (011.54.11) 4772.4911
Hours: Daily for lunch and dinner
Price range: $$$

When you walk down this side of Thames around 10pm, you’ll wonder what crowd of people is lined up for.  Located on a quite neighborhood street, virtually tourist and restaurant free, Sarki´s seems to be the only action around. This large middle eastern restaurant is packed every night, no joke.  In a neighborhood with a large Armenian population, Sarki´s seems to be the favorite.   

It’s a step above the many other Armenian joints around, with prices to match.  With fine linen, attentive yet busy waiters, and quiet traditional music, Sarki´s offers authenticity and class.  Get all the favorites from home made hummus ($8), tabule ($7), falafel ($10), knishes ($8), and shish kebab ($12) all accompanied by endless baskets of warm homemade pitas.  The homemade baklava ($6) is crispy on the outside an oozes honey, making one wonder why they bother eating other deserts.   

This is definitely a place to make reservations if you plan to come after 9pm.  They are open for lunch and dinner, with dinner dramatically more popular, and noisier.  Regardless, this is a local favorite, and when it comes to restaurants one can always trust the locals.
