Authentic Armenian Pork Shashlik: The Art of Khorovats
Experience Traditional Wood-Fired Perfection
Our Craft: From Premium Pork to Juicy Perfection
At Yerevan Sac, we honor the rich culinary heritage of Armenia with our renowned Pork Shashlik, known as Khorovats. We meticulously select premium center-cut pork shoulder, celebrated for its perfect balance of lean meat and tender marbling, ensuring every bite is succulent and flavorful. Our commitment to authenticity and quality makes us the preferred destination for genuine Caucasian grilling in Carmichael and the Greater Sacramento area.
The secret to our exceptional pork shashlik lies in a time-honored marinade that penetrates deep into the meat. This blend includes freshly sliced onions, aromatic basil, and a unique combination of Armenian spices passed down through generations. The marinade tenderizes the pork and infuses it with a distinctive flavor profile, setting our Khorovats apart.

- Signature Armenian Marinade: Our pork is marinated for 24 hours in a blend of fresh onions, fragrant basil, and traditional Armenian spices.
