Our Story
A Family Kitchen, Open to the Whole Community
AJ's Armenian Cuisine was started by the Semerdjian family, who wanted to bring their home recipes out of the kitchen and share them with Fresno. What began as a love for cooking has grown into a neighborhood destination for genuine Armenian flavor, poured wine, and cold beer. Every kebab is grilled to order, and every plate comes with fresh pilaf or bulgur, made the way it's always been made.

Angelika5 stars Lamb Chops were excellent - juicy, tender and very tasteful. Veggies were an excellent addition to the meal. I also added red beets. Lamb chops were so good that I came back next day and had it for lunch. I definitely recommend it!
Elliot5 stars Top spot in Fresno for your Armenian fix. I’ve been going here since it opened. As soon as you walk in you feel like you’re at someone’s home. All the employees are welcoming and will help with any questions you might have about the food. Plus it’s the only place I can find solid Armenian beer.
Warren5 stars My family and I loved eating here. The staff are so friendly and the food is fantastic!! You can’t go wrong with anything that is ordered here. The shish kebab is their main specialty. I highly recommend this restaurant!
Keith5 stars Great Lamb dinner!!! Good size portion for the price.
Gabby5 stars The food is delicious and the rice pilaf closest to homemade.
