Sevan Restaurant

We got the mix kebab combo, appetizer combo and Armenian salad. The meats were all delicious, grilled very well, and were all very juicy, especially the lamb kebab! Salad and babaganoush were super delicious as well. They also served us baklava and a plum tart (?), which had just the right amount of sweetness, is homemade, and were excellent. Service was amazing; they took care of us very well. Atmosphere is nice - the back portion of the restaurant is well-lit (with good outdoor lighting) and also has some outdoor seating.

This is a great family run restaurant. They are extremely friendly and provide excellent service. All of the food is very fresh. They offer catering services for private parties in addition to the restaurant. I will definitely be returning for more yummy food.

We had an incredible dinning experience here. We traveled two hours from Brooklyn and it couldn't have been more worth it. The food was phenomenal and the waiter was knowledge friendly and attentive.

I had an amazing experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and inviting. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, and every dish we tried was perfectly seasoned and beautifully presented. The meat platter was the highlight. It was tender, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Tim was a great server and very thoughtful. Definitely a spot I’ll be recommending to friends and returning to soon!

My descriptions don't do justice to what they serve. Quality ingredients, tasty spice combinations, affordable costs, and pleasant service. Workers made our meal more than just food on a plate. Their meals demonstrate culinary bravery and appeal. This place delivers what it advertises.

Since moving out of state, Sevan is our first stop on the family Food Tour when we’re back in town. The perfect Mediterranean flavors, high quality meats, yummy Mezze appetizers, great wines, the absolute BEST salad, and most importantly, food our children crave and enjoy eating!!! Reminiscent of family dinners, Sevan has a modern take on generational favorites at an extremely fair price! Please Sevan, open a restaurant near us in Charlotte!

The people notice what you need in a space that feels just right. The worker's optimism genuinely improved my night. What an incredible spot I've found!!! Everyone finished their meals, showing how good it tasted. The workers demonstrate exceptional attentiveness with real care.

The evening gave us flavors to enjoy in a setting worth returning to. The workers were consistently attentive. Quality dishes alongside creative food options. This restaurant deserves special recognition beyond five stars. The place maintains honest flavor.

I've been here for different meals, and all were good. The staff performed with expertise and proper formality. The experience feels cohesive. This restaurant looks consistently good. If nearby again, I'll definitely eat here.

If you like traditional, George and cuisine, this is the restaurant for you. The food was amazing. The service was fast and courteous. I’m not crazy about the decor, but it’s just me.

I came with coworkers and our experience exceeded expectations. Order a variety to really enjoy the food. I've tried different menu items and found adequate quality. Someone deserves credit for this team's performance. This place provides satisfaction.

Among ordinary experiences, this place offers something precious. Every dish arrived properly prepared and flavorful. If I'm nearby, this restaurant is getting my business. Accommodating, straightforward, and real. This restaurant is better with company.

Really nice middle eastern restaurant and a great way to try Armenian food. I brought my dad who had never had Armenian food before and is used to mostly eating Asian food. Ordered the salad, the dip platter and lamb chops. He loved everything! The Armenian salad is the most order here.

My family has been coming to Sevan for years. For the restaurant, take out as well as hosting large family gatherings. The food quality and service is always consistently great. Whenever i have a craving for kebabs and Mediterranean food, Sevan is my go to! Cannot go wrong with the armenian salad, dips and lamb/chicken kebabs.

Held my dad‘s memorial service here at Sevan restaurant today and it was amazing. The service: The servers were very polite, professional and courteous. The food was outstanding, plenty of appetizers and entrees for the group. The chicken kebab was the star, so juicy and delicious. The venue is very classy, clean and perfect for any occasion. I highly recommend and will use again!

Food is great, the menu isn't too big which shows they focus on a certain amount of dishes which means generally they take pride and the dishes are bound to be good. The branzino could use more oil, although don't get me wrong, it wasn't dry! But it did not come with a lemon like other places😮 but the waitor there is super nice and took care of us well overall.

I recently visited Sevan Restaurant & Catering in Oakland Gardens, a long-standing Armenian restaurant located along Horace Harding Expressway in Queens. As someone who has explored restaurants and food cultures across more than ninety countries, I am always interested in places that represent regional traditions that are less commonly seen in mainstream dining scenes. Armenian cuisine falls into that category in the United States, which made this visit particularly interesting. The restaurant itself has a warm, neighborhood feel. The interior is modest but comfortable, with a layout that feels more like a family dining room than a modern, trend-driven restaurant. It is clearly a place that locals return to regularly rather than a destination designed primarily for tourists. That sense of community adds a layer of authenticity to the overall experience. The menu focuses on traditional Armenian and Eastern Mediterranean dishes. Grilled meats play a central role, with items such as shish kebab, lamb chops, and chicken kebabs cooked over open flame. The quality of the meat and the simplicity of the seasoning allow the ingredients to stand out. Dishes like hummus, baba ghanoush, and fresh salads provide balance and reflect the broader regional culinary influences that Armenia shares with neighboring cuisines. Service felt welcoming and straightforward. Staff were attentive without being overly formal, and the pacing of the meal allowed time to enjoy the variety of flavors that come from the grilled items and mezze-style starters. From a global travel perspective, the experience reminded me of small family-run restaurants I have encountered throughout the Caucasus and parts of the Eastern Mediterranean. The emphasis is less about presentation and more about hospitality and traditional cooking methods passed down through generations. Overall, Sevan Restaurant & Catering offers a solid and authentic introduction to Armenian cuisine in Queens, particularly for diners interested in exploring culinary traditions that are not widely represented elsewhere in New York.
