There is Sonia's in Cranston. Not an Armenian restaurant per se but their are some dishes on there among other types of items . Owners are Armenian

There used to be a small hole in the wall bakery on Orms St, you can totally miss it driving by. I forget the name and if memory serves me correct they only made lamejun.

Not that I know of. There was an awesome place in Worcester called Shiraz that had been around forever but they closed a couple years ago. I think there’s a place in Watertown, but that’s a little farther.

I highly recommend the various Armenian church bazaars around the area, they always get a lot of great vendors.

Also, as someone of Armenian heritage and an avid cheesy Gordita crunch fan, I always feel like this combo was made for me lol

like the other poster said definitely try Sonia’s, all of their sandwiches are bomb. if you want to pay a pretty penny you could definitely get some nice groceries there as well (apricot jam, basturma, etc).

if you are ever on Allen’s Ave skip Sea Plane (they are trash forreal) and instead go to OV’s. OV’s is a wonderful, classic American diner but it is owned by Armenians and has a couple items on the menu.
