It is like a tradition—it is a traditional meal.” He said the restaurant’s clientele is comprised of many nationalities, such as Russian, Ukranian, Armenian and more. He credits a local Armenian church for helping him spread the word about the restaurant. Every Saturday night, a performer sings in Russian; however, she also takes requests. “The other day there were Persians here, like 12 people,” Vardanian said. “She said she could not sing in the Persian language, but she found the music on the internet and started to play Persian music just to make those people feel comfortable.”
