A Journey Back to Our Roots Through Tolma
At the heart of Yerevan, nestled within the walls of an age-old building, lies MOV – not just a restaurant, but a heartfelt homage to the soul of Armenian cuisine. Here, Tolma is not merely a dish; it is a narrative, a character, the queen of our culinary lore. She is the essence of our culture, embodying the spirit of a nurturing woman, reminiscent of a mother's touch in the kitchen.
Our journey began in a time of uncertainty, amidst the chaos of a world that seemed to have lost its way. It was in these shadowed moments that we, a trio of enthusiasts, embraced a mission – a mission to rekindle the flame of Armenian culinary tradition. For a year, we delved into the depths of our heritage, exploring the stories and secrets behind Tolma, our crowned jewel.
Tolma, in its essence, is a celebration of variety and creativity. Wrapped in vine leaves or other greens, it carries the heart of Armenian flavors, filled with a blend of spiced meats, grains, and herbs. Each Tolma on our menu is a chapter from our childhood, a recipe passed down through generations, echoing the warmth and love of our mothers' cooking. These dishes are not just meals; they are memories, a nostalgic journey back to the days of home-cooked delicacies.
MOV Restaurant is more than a dining experience; it's a revival, a love letter to Armenia penned through its cuisine. As you step through our doors, we invite you to join us in rediscovering the magic of Tolma, to relish the taste of tradition interwoven with a whisper of the contemporary. Welcome to our story, welcome to MOV.
