Nestled in Northern Liberties, Apricot Stone is a cozy BYOB gem where an Armenian mom serves up tantalizing kebabs, hummus, and Mediterranean delights.
"Chef Fimy Ishkhanian has taken Northern Liberties by storm with Apricot Stone, a laid-back BYOB restaurant offering a fusion of Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and Armenian fare like manti, beef-stuffed grape leaves, fattoush, and lamb kebabs." - George Banks-Weston
"Northern Liberties’ Armenian BYOB has white tablecloths, candles, fresh flowers, and a celebratory atmosphere that somehow always feels like a holiday dinner (and not an unhinged sports bar). The dining room is always packed here on the weekend, so plan ahead. Grab a bottle of wine, another person as clueless about sports as you, and split the silky hummus, rice pilaf, and a couple of lamb kebabs." - candis mclean
"One of Philly’s best Armenian restaurants from chef and co-owner Fimy Ishkhanian, Apricot Stone in Northern Liberties is the destination for prix fixe meze or dinner-for-two menus. Bring a few bottles of crisp whites (assyrtiko from Greece or musar blanc from Lebanon) and chillable reds (xinomavro from Greece) to enjoy alongside hummus plates, boreg, and lamb kebabs." - Ernest Owens, Eater Staff
"Apricot Stone is an intimate Armenian BYOB that can get pretty crowded, especially on the weekends. However, on nice nights, the outdoor plaza doubles as Apricot Stone’s personal patio, overflow area, and dog companion zone. Grab a few friends, a bottle of wine, any handsome pup you might find along the way, and split some buttery spanakopita, hummus, and a couple lamb kebabs." - candis mclean, alison kessler
"This Northern Liberties BYOB is one of Philadelphia’s few Armenian restaurants. Its small menu of skewers includes lamb, filet, chicken, and luleh." - George Banks-Weston
