- More Armenians now live outside Armenia, in cities around the world, than in it. This is the result of thousands of years of hardship: wars, revolutions, and genocide that have forced Armenians to disperse again and again as refugees. Armenian food culture reflects this dispersal, pulling from other traditions to produce a varied cuisine that changes from one community to another. But in L.A., which has the second largest Armenian population in the world, many different generations of Armenians meet, bringing together the disparate cooking styles that millenia of unrest have brought about.

Iranians of Armenian decent
have had so many positive contributions to Persian cultural. As a Iranian I think we have been very fortunate to I have Armenians as part of our society hope they always receive blessings. shnorhakalut’yun!
Thank you 🇮🇷🇦🇲 we are brothers and neighours in spite of religions
I am an Armenian from Iran (south of Iran,Oil rich city of Abadan Ahwaz), all my childhood friends were persian , I still remember them dearly for their kindness and closeness to us Armenians. I am taking my hat off for my country men and women (persians) with great respect.
@@annaagon6100 I would love to go one day to Iran.
I think many of the structures in Isfahan were contributions from Armenian architects.
I like these videos and appreciate the cultural identity that these folks have. Though I am sure that every ethic/cultural group loves food and has specific dishes that they as a group hold dear.
where is the Iranian-Armenian pastry shops? they always forget about us :)
they love their meats
whites, latins, and asians. Not Americans, latins, and asians because we are all Americans.
The random shots of the car which had nothing to do with the restaurants were hilarious.
Its presented by infinity, someone gotta pay the bills. But once I saw the food I didn't even see the car anymore.
It looks like they wanted to make it seem like a transition between the restaurants which they showed.
Jay Jay I was gonna say those shots of that infinity aren't random.. definitely placed on purpose considered that's it's sponsor.
It's like the shots of plane taking off when people go somewhere in a movie or a tv show....it shows a change of location. Plus Lexus probably sponsors this so people like us can watch for free....
it was sponsored by Infiniti
I'm not Armenian, but I love their food and their culture! Such a beautiful high educated people! I told my daughter who lives on LA, if some day I move to LA, I would love to get my house on Armenian area. I had a restaurant on Toronto, for many years and I was dealing with many different people from different countries, the Armenian people were the most easy going and loving people to deal with. Thank you for sharing the video! I really enjoyed it!
Armenians here in TO are way different from the ones in LA, keep that in mind.
GlassesTarzan Not that different if they're assimilated into the American/Canadian culture.
nonosh armenians hardly assimilate
There is no perfect race, you don't have to put other groups of people cause of a small minority you dealt with, to make a point.
armenian orthodox fascist nationalist but extreme but I understand the necessity to retain our culture as our history has shown without unity there can only be oppression
love to my armenian brothers greetings from greece
Alexios Sanchez thank you so much from Armenia to Greece to our brothers and sisters Loveee ❤️❤️❤️💋💋💋💋💋
Μην λες μαλακιες
Alexios Sanchez love u too ✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽
I love Greece
Love Armenia from a Greek!!!!!! Beautiful people!!!
I love Arminian food I am Mexican American viva Arminia
larrs loez 🇦🇲❤️🇲🇽
This is türkisch food
@@sazkopat1741 I love 🇹🇷 food 🥘 👍🤝
OMG the food looks so good....I have never thought of going to an Armenian restaurant.....I can't wait to go now. Thanks for posting.
Carousel in glendale is a great place to go. It's a bit pricey but the quality is there and you're guaranteed to leave full
Wayne Harris. "Golden fork" in N.Hollywood is the real Armenian food, not the Lebanese mixture, like in carousel! That's more Arabic then Armenian food! Try that restaurant. Everything made on real wood coal, not gas! Kabob doesn't taste good on gas, wooden coal. But Glendale is a Nazi town and regulations are not allowing to make a real fire for the kabob. Go to "golden fork" it is on Oxnard street!
As an Armenian, you should try our food. It’s just amazing. Rally good.
@Musa Kalaycı inbred
Good vid but the biggest population of armenians outside Armenia isn't in the US, it's in Russia
no it usa
lakers 16 there are over 3 million Armenians living in Russia there are 1.5 million Armenians living in the US
Dv h alright thank you
waNErBOY Does it really count if majority of those Armenians were forcibly assimilated by the Soviet regime?
Armenians please gives us Kim Kardashian's booty and we'll promise to give Erzurum and Van back to you.
l never had Armenian food before. l would love to try some. Food looks very delicious.
Summer Rain its more of a turkish cuisine
Summer Rain you can come try a lot of Armenian food at Yerevan our pink city. ❤️
Arpi. You made it sound like GAY city by saying pink:) :):) " ROZOVIY" sounds better:):):)
archie arch "pink" meaning the building we have that are made of pink volcanic rock, not calling it "gay"... why are south Caucasian people such homophobes
I believe the rock is called "tuf"... karmir tuf :P
i've never been this hungry.
So many stupid comments. Guys just watch the video and enjoy. Lol
You forgot how to mention how they commit a lot of insurance fraud. lol
Aw dude come on... I was in debt & I needed to make a quick buck so what
And I sent 1/2 the money to my poor grandparents back in Armenia... true story bruh I'm not lying plz believe me **wink wink**
Andrew Far lol, that's true. Armenians are famous for insurance frauds.
Yeah. But hey, if it wasn't for us, you lot wouldn't have nukes to blow each other up with. So if you are going to rag, you can find better reasons.
that's why we got fraud hats my g
Andrew Well we do what about you white people always doing drugs and asking for money on freeway exits.
I can agree. I would like to add, though, that all Armenians are connected through our love of good food AND our faith
If you are referring to Christianity, as much as I wish you were right, sadly Christianity is almost extinct in the community
GlassesTarzan Because we're an educated people who comprehend the nature of the world. Besides, we had over 600 years of culture before King Trdat mandated the conversion to Christianity.
nonosh While you are correct Christianity became our culture through non-barbaric conversion. As a devout Christian I wish more Armenians weren't sucg militant atheists, especially against Christianity.
GlassesTarzan , what the heck are you talking about?? Armenians are amongst the most religious people I have ever met. Every Armenians I know is a devout Christian.
Lebanese Armenian I can speak anecdotally too. As an atheist millenial, I happen to have 8 of my 10 closest Armenian friends self-identify as skeptics (i.e., either agnostic or atheist) while only two are passive believers of some higher power. To branch out of my cosmopolitan Los Angeles bubble, my girlfriend moved here from Yerevan only two years ago, and she and her friends are all atheist as well. The times are changing, my compatriot; we are critical thinkers who place credibility on evidence while questioning blind traditions that are grounded on faith.
To be honest, armenian food better than turkish food
Can you ever distinguish between them? They named Shawarma and Shish Kebab. Both are Turkish food. Shawarma is wrong pronunciation of the Turkish word "çevirme" which means "turning" (intransitiv). Manti is definitely not Armenian food.
nothing is Armenian in this video except the owners
Change your last name you dont deserve to have an Armenian one
finally some who knows something 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 dont trust these lyers they give extra wrong informations
@@shahsultanhan6477what ? Are you that stupid or do u pretend to be ? The festival and the food was all armenian. Ponchik, borik xorovac etc.
@@shahsultanhan6477you are too dumb to even comment
Greetings to our armenian brothers from occupied palestine
Most comments here aren't about the food at all, so let me do the honours:
Looks absolutely great. Right amounts of all macronutrients as well. I can see why Armenians are well-built.
This backround music has been Azerbaijan music
why everytime i hear about armenia, the only thing comes in my mind was system of a down ? :)
#ArmenianFam Where you at? 😋🇦🇲
MORE THAN 70% OF ARMENIANS ARE IN THE GRAVEYARD 🇦🇿🇹🇷🇦🇿🇹🇷
@@shahsultanhan6477 you’re next 👹
by the way nice japanian profil picture. they love us Turks and don't accept your genocide lie 😊🇹🇷🇦🇿🇯🇵
@@sangeliqs look what happened last months with your "soldiers" they are send to hell and before they died the felt the hell too 😉
The strongest ethnicity in the world. One of the primary language bible was translated to. Whereas two armenian meet there’s gonna be a little Armenia.
much love from Lebanon!♡
Love from armenia be healthy and good yall love ur culture
Armenians helped create the agricultural community in the San Joaquin Valley, I've never heard of that, I'm going to have double check on that. but good to know. 👍
They did. The first wineries in Napa & central California were the result of Armenians from Iran bringing their influence & knowledge to CA. Wine originated in the caucuses. The worlds oldest winery is in Armenia (Areni-1).
Then where’s all the good Armenian food in the SJ Valley? It’s one food I grew up eating in LA and can’t find now living in San Joaquin Valley.
I remember when the governor of California was Armenian, things were sure better back then .
People yelling at kids to get out of the kitchen it's like some kinda orchestra lol sounds exactly like Ukrainian Easter at my babas.
Love Armenian From Iran
ما ایرانیان را دوست داریم و ما ایران را دوست داریم ما پسر عموییم! زنده باد ایران!
tfuhhh Great Azerbaycan will come Inşallah Ya Aliiiiiiii
We have long history both i love iran from armenia
Azerbaran has no culture shush
I love the Armenian culture. Learned alot. Such beautiful people and survivors
this culture is the culture of Azerbaijan They stole these dishonorable people have nothing to do with them.
@@tbrizismaylov6903 its really not
Ur country is new u dont have food culture u stole
Very sad history, but they say the end will be good.
Armenia lives
PONCHIK!!!
KEN CEE which is Polish... :)
they said that ponchiks origin was polad. watch video : )
@@ninnosha2986 yeah they included it wich means that they respect its origin. But they also took insperation and made theirs too
you can see the dishes were stolen from virtually Turkey-Azerbaijan kitchen.and music
Delicious Armenian food😍 pappilion has the best ponchiks and perashkis, if you are ever in the valley i would definitely recommend
Music in the video is Azerbaijani but nit armenian.
Nice Turkish foods
Pişi, Mantı, Şiş(Means skewer in Turkish), Hummus,Shawarma,Kebabs, Pilav, Çörek,Yoghurt,Baklava,Börek,Pastırma. ...None of them are Armenians, Arab or Turkish Food
I'm not Armenian the food looks amazing and would love to try it. I believe all cultures are unique and Beautiful 🙏- especially the Women 💐 am I right?
Very beautiful, well rounded with good upbringing women. One cuter than the other. We also have Persian Armenians, Arabic Armenians, Iraqi Armenians and now will add Kharabakhi Armenian to LA population.
All the food they showed was either Lebanese, Iranian or the ponchik which is like Russian/Ukrainian/Polish what about actual Armenian food??
It’s weird for me being Armenian and not being brought up Armenian.
I see all these people who look like me but I feel left out.
Long live Armenia and Armenians! This food is ours with some Syrian/Lebanese/Iranian influence. None of it is "Turkish" since Turkey doesn't have its own food, its all stolen from other cultures(Assyrians,Greeks, Armenians).
Truth
Kızıl tuğ turkish motherland? you mean kazahkhstan? certainly you can't be talking about anatolia, the land turks have stolen
Lebanese Armenian ask your grandmother and grandfather they know the foods origins !
History of these foods are not documented and well-known before Turks, All of them are Turkish,Like or not
@CanBS turks have not been in anatolia for 1000 years. The fall of constantinople happened in 1453.
Delicious Armenian food😍 pappilion has the best ponchiks and perashkis, if you are ever in the valley i would definitely recommend
I wish there was a little Armenia in Melbourne
Armenians are not white , they are not Europeans , they are middle eastern . Look at what she even said at the beginning of the video. Armenians that are from Iran and Lebanon . Enough said they are middle eastern not white
Delicious Armenian food😍 pappilion has the best ponchiks and perashkis, if you are ever in the valley i would definitely recommend
Ponchik and Perashki is not Armenian, it's typical Slavic/Russian/Polish food
I am from Armenia/Armenia and I would never say that's an Armenian food because it's not. Tabule, humus, babaganoush and those dips are not Armenian either, they are middle eastern, so is shawarma
None of these are Armenian food and taking Polish food and turning it into Armenian doesn't make it Armenian, it's still a ponchik....
Like seriously, Armenians have so many dishes of their own making, and they are advertising this? Like c'mon
WTF the kebab is a Turkish dish it is not an Armenian dish ...
Every country has their type of kebab
You win the dumbest comment award 🤡
WITH LOVE FROM ETHIOPIA TO OUR ARMENIAN AND IRANIAN FRIENDS ! HOPE YOUR RETURN VERY SOON TO ETHIOPIA !
I love ethiopia yall are good people respect ur culture
Little Armenia is also home to the world's greatest mma and boxing coach Edmond Tarverdyan.
Head movement head movement that's a joke right?
Hahahahaha that was a good one
The comment section is fucked up.
This made me so fucking hungry
Middle eastern / Central Asia food is the fucking best
As a Turkish guy, let it be known, that Ponçiks are a masterpiece the Armenians have gifted to the world, kudos
Ponçik rus sözüdür ve rus yeməyidir.Ponçikin ruslara məxsus olduğunu bütün SOVET ölkələri bilir
@@nuredinbagrov3805 The concept of a ball of dough filled with something is prevalent in many cultures and every culture gives it its own name.
Food looks awesome!!
forgot to mention Armenians from Syria but who cares about us right 😃😀😀😀?
Love Armenian from Nederland !!!!
Thanks lory Tatoulian... Best wishes. Alex boghossian from France

Awesome. Now go to Cambodia town in Long Beach, CA
sin7wu dude, i live about 10 minutes from long beach and i love going to Cambodia Town. The food is amazing
yummy !love Armenian foods there' re so healty
I work with a lot of Armenians in ca lot of them In the construction business working with them is getting me interested in their culture and food. Is it me or I see a few Mexicans working in the kitchen back there
Tastes even better in Armenian since the products are always natural and ridiculously fresh.
Where is the restaurant they the Kardashian’s go to? I hear they own several restaurants!
Carousel
It's arabic cuisine actually
Wenzy0l it sure is brother, it's natural for armenians stealing other peoples heritage and culture and dishes, these gypsies had nothing and still have nothing
Adam Jones lol "we have nothing" and yet you're still so obsessed with us. All I see are your comments. Stay jealous bitch 😘
It might sound weird, but i would love to try armenian food someday...i'm a libyan armenian 😅
Love Libya from armenia i respect ur culture
Hi from Armenia Yerevan
I used to get chased by Armenians coming home from Los Feliz elementary school. Times have changed since then .I do enjoy the Armenian old timers they are cool. I enjoy Bravos Pizza and Panos Pastry .
Im glad times HAVE changed. We tend not to bother anyone if they dont bother us. Any non Armenian is welcome in our culture as long as they respect our culture & religion. We want to stay Armenian & stay orthodox christian so if that is respected, anyone & everyone is welcome to see what our culture is about.
@@dr.spectre9697 we aren't orthodox
Stealing Turkish food like "mantı" and calling it Armenian doesn't make it Armenian xD. It's still a Turkish name and still Turkish food.
I get so happy reading all the comments about people wanting to try Armenian food haha, I never thought people would really care unless a friend told them about it or something :D
what is armenians?? 😂😂😂 there are no armenians anymore.
most of "armenians" today has mixed populations by Turks & arabs 🤣
With all that said, I think the best Armenian food is Armenian Food from Armenia!!! Our khorovats is the best, our spas, our tolma and everything else is closer to us , who is from Armenia, it tastes like a childhood! But it is only my opinion:)
I dont know aper....Im an Armenian from Iran & our food is pretty amazing too! Its all ok though, we are all Armenian so we should love & appreciate each other :) I must say though, Armenians from Armenia eat quite a bit of pork which A LOT of diaspora Armenians dont like. I prefer lamb or beef. I suppose the consumption of pork is due to the soviet/russian influence so it's understandable.
This is not armeniena food !!! Kebab is from turks central asian nomad eat you can look all the türkisch countrys they have this eat kazhastan uzbekistan,tajikistan,kyrgystan(turk kipcak kuman hazar,tatar) eat that and bring the russian people that as shashlik. in india they eat kebab too ... moghul turk empire of india the nomadic turks bring the kebab to india and persia and the same in anatolia.the greek have much from us to. gyros is döner from us the arabian have call it shavarma the word shavarma is from.turkisch cevirme it is kebab. most from the armenirns here think turks have noth history ... you dont know atilla the hunn has west roma empire deleted otomans has east roman empire deleted ... before ottoman empire the turks was selcuk empire and than bevor göktürk empire we have much and most history as yours the persian and roman empire arabian empire we have dominated wy they are corrupt and kill his own people for rich we want to stay by the real and right dont leav the lies turks not make genozid to armeniens

Thank you for playing real Armenian music!

It is sad that many Americans look at Armenia as a third world country. I think the Armenians always met their minimum needs, so it will never be India or any other country where there is such shortage of food. You see Human rights agencies never collected data on crimes against the humanity. We believe in the good intentions of everyone, but in fact, what you show us is pretty discouraging! Sad I couldn't live in LA. Pretty Expensive place to live. Not to mention I was not going to collect garbage with the knowledge that I have...
I thought she meant 'our minions' 😂
Sahar 95 How?
I think sahar is Arab or Palestinian... hate much uh sahar?
Muahahahha finaly an arap which is on the side of their Turkish Muslim brothers. the libanese and syrians are mostly armenians which converted to Islam that's why we don't look to them.
Please, please, please, stop saying Latin, Armenian, Asian, etc., and AMERICAN, because these other people are Americans. Say Caucasian, or White, or Western European, but stop saying American for White people. White people are not the only Americans.
Very gourmet and cultural!
One day i will come to LA to my Armenian family love you and miss you im Kurdish.
Iraqi Armenian here!
Lol they sell Polish food as armenian food, they sell Turkish kebabs and mezes as armenian food and they sell Arabian falafels as armenian food. I guess they'll be selling Italian pizzas as armenian pizata soon.
This is beautiful!
Proud of being armenian descent, i am brazilian, i live in Rio de Janeiro, i have met some armenians here, but most of armenians are in Sao Paulo
Would someone please change the title to AN operational feast
totally waiting for Lucas to pop out behind the counter and take over the host
