In yesterday's Eclectic Beirut at Night I promised you an Armenian feast; at Seza Bistro
Two Armenian guys charming the guests while two Armenian mademoiselles in their cute traditional outfits working the kitchen
A feast was ordered based on guessing and intution
Patatesove are mini kebbeh stuffed with potatoes and Armenian spicing - alright
On the other hand, Imam Bayildi, eggplants with tomatoes and pepper are a must
Gedzou Patates are spiced potatoes with garlic and cilantro with exceptional crunch
Of course one cannot skip the well known Armenian Lahmajan. While I have tried the imitations in Lebanese restaurants, these originals are a perfection
Manti - the real authentic treat - are mini doughs stuffed with meat and baked. When served, they are drizzled with a tomato sauce, yogurt sauce then sumaq
I am craving a full dinner of Manti and nothing else. This is definitely a must
Other main dishes reflect the tradition of the region's elders of no waste
Every part of a sheep is served one way or another at Seza including the intestines and the feet
The lovely Armenian hosts wrapped up our evening with a selection of sweets on the house
