Chef Ararat el Rawi Introduces Brooklyn to Armenian Cuisine at Cafe Little Armenia
I was born into a family of Armenians who immigrated to Iraq and then to the Midwest. My interest in cooking emerged at a very early age stemming from the time I spent with my mother when she cooked in the kitchen. In my 20s, I worked as a kitchen manager for Chef Andrew Zimmern at Cafe Un Deux Trois in Minneapolis.
Encouraged by the response, I found a vacant space in Greenpoint and spent several months working to restore it to restaurant readiness. I am pleased to say Little Armenia Cafe is now open to the public. I look forward to serving you all soon.
