About Lusin Mayfair, London

Nestled in London’s prestigious Mayfair district, Lusin Mayfair is the UK’s first Armenian fine-dining restaurant, offering a cultural and gastronomic odyssey. Its name, meaning “the moon” in Armenian, reflects the celestial symbolism cherished in Armenian culture. The restaurant blends opulent design with authenticity, featuring hand-carved Armenian Khachkar symbols, Tuff Stone from Armenian mountains, and a lavish interior designed by architect Maram Seddiq. Founded by hospitality entrepreneur Dr. Mazen Almugbel of Mira Foods, Lusin draws inspiration from Armenia’s rich culinary traditions, elevated by Michelin-starred chef Marcel Ravin and Armenian cookbook author Anahid Doniguian.

Lusin specializes in Armenian cuisine infused with Levantine and Eastern European influences. The menu highlights bold flavors like pomegranate molasses, aromatic spices, and dishes such as Kibbeh Labaniya (meat-stuffed bulgur in yogurt sauce), Cherry Kebab with signature cherry glaze, and Lavash-Baked Seabass. Traditional staples like Manti (dumplings) and Lavash bread share the spotlight with modern twists, such as the decadent Honey Cake layered with honeycomb. The restaurant also adheres to Halal standards, ensuring inclusivity for diverse diners.

The ambience exudes luxury, with gold accents, vibrant bursts of color, and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Hay Hill. The atmosphere balances sophistication with warmth, making it ideal for romantic dinners, business meetings, or celebratory gatherings. Live Armenian music and literature-themed decor further immerse guests in the cultural narrative, while the attentive staff and curated beverage menu—featuring Armenian wines and inventive cocktails like the Supernova (with apricot brandy and sparkling wine)—enhance the experience.

Since opening in October 2024, Lusin has attracted high-profile patrons, including Middle Eastern royalty and diplomats, cementing its status as a destination for elite dining. Reviews praise its “excellent service,” “unforgettable flavors,” and unique position in Mayfair’s culinary scene, offering a refreshing alternative to European and Italian fare. While prices are steep, the quality justifies the cost, earning it accolades as a must-visit for discerning food enthusiasts.

Expert Review for Lusin Mayfair, London

Nestled in the heart of Mayfair, Lusin is a revelation for those seeking an authentic yet refined Armenian dining experience. The moment you step inside, the warm, golden-lit ambiance strikes a perfect balance between sophistication and rustic charm, with subtle nods to Armenian artistry in its decor. Service here is impeccable—attentive without being overbearing, and staff effortlessly guide you through the menu with genuine passion. Start with their mezze platter: velvety hummus kissed with smoked paprika, vibrant mutabal, and house-made lavash so delicate it melts on the tongue. The lahmajoun (Armenian flatbread) is a standout, topped with spiced lamb and pomegranate molasses—a tangy-sweet harmony that lingers. Pair these with a glass of their Armenian amber wine, an unexpected gem that elevates the entire spread.

For mains, the khorovats (charcoal-grilled meats) are unmissable—succulent cuts of marinated lamb chops, smoky and tender, served with roasted vegetables that sing of seasonal freshness. Vegetarians aren’t forgotten; the stuffed aubergine with walnuts and tomatoes is a masterclass in layered textures. Save room for dessert: their baklava is a buttery, nutty revelation, drizzled with rose-scented syrup. While prices lean toward Mayfair’s premium side, every bite justifies the splurge. Lusin doesn’t just serve food—it curates an immersive journey through Armenia’s culinary soul. A must-visit for anyone craving bold flavours, artistry on a plate, and a dining experience that feels both timeless and thrillingly new.
