Located off Michigan Avenue in the heart of Chicago's Magnificent Mile, Sayat Nova is every bit the equal of its upscale surroundings. An exotic and infinitely romantic retreat, the interior is defined by lattice-like chandeliers that cast intricate patterns on ceiling and walls. Likewise, lush banquettes are set back in private dining alcoves that make the enjoyment of Sayat Nova's Armenian cuisine a deliciously intimate experience. Named after troubadour Haroutiun Sayakian - Armenia's Sayat Nova or King of Songs - each dish served is a tone poem that pays homage to Armenia's rich culinary heritage. Appetizers include Lamajoun (thin-crust pizza topped with spiced ground lamb, minced onions, peppers and tomatoes) and a house favorite, Red Lentil Soup that's like nothing you've ever tasted before. Meanwhile, entree choices range from all manner of Kebabs, to charbroiled Lamb Chops, Sauteed Scallops, and traditional Sarma (stuffed grape leaves) and Kufta (meatballs stuffed with diced lamb) dinners. As an added touch of authenticity, for those so inclined, after-dinner hookahs are available. Reasonable prices and live music on weekends make this a perfect choice for both business and social entertaining.
