Apricot Stone

Mediterranean, Middle Eastern$$-$$$

Owned and operated by mother-son duo Fimy and Ara Ishkhanian, this Northern Liberties BYOB has earned a loyal following thanks to Armenian specialties like the crispy manti, tangy hand-wrapped grape leaves, and lahmajoun flatbreads topped with spiced meat. More recently Apricot Stone has benefited from consultation from Cypriot-born chef Konstantinos Pitsillides, who helped broaden the menu’s Mediterranean horizons by adding grilled halloumi, slow-braised rabbit and lamb shanks, and shrimp saganaki — a showstopper which arrives bubbling with fragrant tomato sauce and feta cheese.
