Krichian's Grill & Bistro

I absolutely LOVE this place!! Found this hidden gem by accident (although I only live a few blocks away)…the chicken chops here are AMAZING!! The lamb is grilled perfectly, and seasoned the best…the rice is to die for, and the veggies are always satisfying!!! I order from here at least once a week now, for the past year!!! And I will be a forever customer!!!

I recently dined at Krichian’s Grill & Bistro, and it delivered a flavorful introduction to Armenian and Eastern Mediterranean cuisine in the Paterson area. The restaurant has a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere that reflects the hospitality commonly associated with Armenian dining culture. The interior feels comfortable and neighborhood-oriented, creating an inviting environment where guests can enjoy traditional dishes prepared with care. Armenian cuisine is known for its emphasis on grilled meats, fresh herbs, and vibrant vegetable dishes, and the menu here reflects those traditions well. The kebabs were a standout, demonstrating careful marination and proper grilling techniques. The meats were tender and carried a balanced blend of spices that enhanced the natural flavor without overwh

Great Armenian restaurant, among the very few if any you'll find in the area. I tried the Manti (beef stuffed in dough) with yogurt on the side. Chicken thighs grilled and cooked to perfection. Served with beans and fries on the side. The fries were okay, and the beans while they're not my favorite side dish, they were okay too. I also had a yogurt drink (Ayran), pretty authentic middle Eastern drink and refreshing too. Plenty of parking space too. I definitely recommend this place if you like Middle Eastern or Armenian food.

A Paterson staple for middle eastern cuisine. Try the lentils and rice combo with a mixed grill, Armenian salad and their hummus. Excellence is an understatement. 10/10 and amazing hospitable experience during Ramadan.

Looks like we're in the dining area of a house, very cute. There's even an enclosed outdoor area. But it was too hot to sit outside ;) There was a large party taking up half the space. Luckily we made reservations. They were pretty boisterous. Service was excellent. Susan was very helpful as we've never had Armenian food. Bedros (not sure of the spelling) was on point clearing plates and getting extra plates, utensils etc. Considering such a large party they still came to check on us regularly. :) When we sat down they brought us basket of pitas and a plate of 🫒, 🧀, pickled cabbage and pickled banana pepper. This was so good, much better than just boring bread and butter! I don't know what kind of cheese it was but I really liked it. I don't usually like unknown 🧀 but hubby w
