Being on the border with Iran, you would think Armenia would have lots of Persian restaurants...but surprisingly they are few and far between. I think the best one in the city is Shirvan. It's a small, underground place decorated in classical Middle Eastern style, with carpets on the walls, low lighting, and hookahs all around. It's a small, intimate place with great service(they burned the cd that was playing in the background for us because Melody wanted a copy-how nice is that), and good Persian food. It's no Raffis, but it's good...
