Jana Grill & Bakery

Jana Grill & Bakery is a perfectly decent option for Armenian and other pan-Caucasian cuisine in the greater Boston area. I had the opportunity to sample a number of items on the menu, and was not disappointed by anything.Jana Grill & Bakery claims to serve "the flavor of Armenia and the surrounding countries." This, however, does not include Turkey or Azerbaijan, which could raise geopolitical qualms for guests. While some may appreciate a dash of geopolitical or ethnic conflict with their meal, it is understandable that others may not. And so we continue. I had the pleasure of sampling the Traditional Armenian Kebab, megruli khachapuri, and vegetable satsivi. The Traditional Armenian Kebab was a long and slender cylinder of ground flesh, seasoned with spices that I know but shall not name, served on a paper-thin lavash with onion and some pickled vegetables. The megruli khachapuri, a dish well known to me but nearly impossible to locate in the Boston area, was decent and unique: its dough was more buttery than most khachapuri I have eaten, both within and without Georgia, and the cheese was difficult to place. It was tasty and slightly unexpected, but not in an exceptional way. The vegetables were fairly standard grilled vegetables but they were served with a voluptuous bazhe sauce of walnuts. The sauce, it could be said, was the star of the show.As for the miscellanea: the prices are fine, not so-called "fine" dining, but not on the low end either. The value is not exceptional. Also, the wine menu has a number of interesting specimens, yet only the house wine is available by the glass. As for the service, it is fine. The space, however, is beautiful: well-decorated walls and unique tables make for a lively ambience.I would return to Jana Grill & Bakery once in a while.

I don't think I'll be back. I called to order dinner to pick up for myself. I figured I would try the mixed meat platter so I could sample a variety. The menu I looked at said it was $18... but that might have been old. But I was fine to pay a bit more even so. I called to order and told the girl I wanted that item. She asked me if I wanted rice or potatoes as the side. I said rice. She said come in 20 minutes. Ok great. I was excited to try it. I arrived and she gave me the bill. $63 for a plate for 2 people. I said "this isn't mine" but she said it was. I said I only ordered for 1 person. She said I said "for two" on the phone. Seems odd since I'm the only person eating. I think she messed it up and didn't want to admit it. I didn't know what to do since they made the food already. I should have left based solely on the fact that if staff doesn't admit to being wrong in this simple case, I can't imagine how they handle different situations. I agreed to pay and she said "it's ok. It's not that much food anyway" ... oh great. I'm paying $63 for not that much food for two people. Needless to say I left annoyed. I won't ever return. It's too bad. It looked nice inside but I don't trust their practices.

Love this place. Best meat better !!!Try their ravioli !!!Armenian food markets real as could be !! Try and you will appreciate!!!

Such good food, can't recommend enough. Particularly recommend the cheese boat. Perfect location for a small gathering. I've been here twice and can't wait to come again

this was such a great find. the food was fantastic & everybody there was incredibly friendly and courteous. everything we had was kind of addictive, so we will be returning very soon.

Food was great! Started with hummus. This was delicious, but served with only 4 baked pita triangles. More bread would have been nice for the price $12. All 3 of us each ordered a different Losh item. Hard to handle if you want to put losh into the 1/2 pita (and eat like a sandwich) that was given. Pita was on the bottom of the pile of Losh, cabbage, onions. 1 full piece of Pita on TOP would have been better

Decor is great and in a hidden spot on the corner outside is deceiving g and when you go in it's quite cozy. We ordered the assorted Igor oats plate for two and beef borscht soup. They offer entertainment Thursday- Sunday during the months of Sept- May. I can't wait to come back and here the live music.
