Une blague

Le lieu est plutôt mignon et il y a beaucoup de plats labellisés vegan/sans gluten mais ça ne suffit clairement pas.
J’ai pris un menu complet : entrée-plat dessert à emporter, pour un total de 32€ et j’ai eu faim à la fin de mon repas alors que je ne suis pas une grosse mangeuse.
Les portions sont ridicules et hors de prix.
Le pire a été le houmous aux poivrons : 10€, servi sans pain pita, l’équivalent de trois cuillères à café maximum… super.

Pros: Plats labellisés vegan sur la carte, Emplacement

Cons: Portions minuscules

Deserves 5 stars

If I was allowed to rate it 5, I would. Delicious food, friendly service, and always nice you see in any restaurant have clearly labelled vegan dishes.

You can't have it both ways..

This was my very first experience with Armenian food, so that alone felt that a definite plus. It didn't hurt that the dishes tasted lovely either: bulgur, lentils, raisins and other ingredients made up the filling of the vine leaves, with tahini sauce as a perfect companion. For dessert I opted for the walnut baklava, and it was just another hit. Nevertheless, be aware that both dishes were served warm, and from what I could see of, and hear from, the kitchen they must have been microwaved. 17 and 7.5 euro (if memory serves me right) may not be large sums for a meal that is made from scratch.. but if we're taking these types of shortcuts then I'm afraid I have to say that, great though it may be, Kouj's food is just too expensive for what it is.
On a different note, I tried booking by e-mail but never got a confirmation. I rang and they said that, on a Thursday evening, it wouldn't be necessary.

Überraschung hinter unscheinbarer Fassade

Ich hatte mir unter veganer Köfte etwas anderes vorgestellt, war aber trotzdem begeistert von der gut gewürzten Masse, die im Gegensatz zum Originalrezept nicht aus Kartoffeln, sondern Linsen zubereitet wurde. Ein wenig knapp bemessen vielleicht für den großen Hunger, aber so war noch Platz für einen Schokokuchen, der sehr saftig und lecker war. Der Espresso fiel im Vergleich dazu etwas ab... Trotzdem sehr empfehlenswert, zumal es mittlerweile 3 vegane Gerichte auf der kleinen Karte gibt!

Pros: Auswahl , Freundlichkeit

Cons: Etwas zu kleine Portion

Délicieux et raffiné - delicious and refine

Nous nous sommes régalés avec ces spécialités arméniennes (une découverte) et la propriétaire du restaurant est très accueillante, gentille et attentive quand on précise que l'on est Vegan. Le houmous de betterave et les boureks aux champignons étaient excellents! Et la carte a des options véganes clairement indiquées.

We really enjoy discovering the restaurant "KOUJ" and the armenian specialities are really tasty and full of flavors. The owner is really nice and friendly with all her clients and she really pay attention if you say you're Vegan to propose you the right dishes.

The beet houmous and mushrooms boureks was delicious and the vegan options are clearly labelled in the menu.

Pros: L'accueil - the hospitality, Boureks champignons - mushrooms boureks, Houmous betterave - beet houmous

Cons: Aucun - None

Sitio chiquitín y agradable

Las mesitas en la terraza de la calle y el menú con opciones veganas claramente señaladas hacen de este un lugar agradable para comer. El servicio fue atento y rápido. Recomendable.

Very good lunch!

I discovered Kouj on another veg website and I was suprised it was not HappyCow! Their menu has clearly labeled vegan options.
We tried the Mouhamara (roasted bell pepper dip) which was delicious. Then we had the Hovivi Tchash salad and Panra-Hats, both were very good too.
And finally for dessert, they serve a delicious nuts baklava.

The waitress was very nice.
