Kyalla (Armenian: քյալլա, lit. 'head', Armenian pronunciation: [kʰjɑˈlːɑ])) is a traditional Armenian dish consisting of a roasted bull's head. Historically, it was associated with lower socioeconomic groups, but over time it became more widely consumed and is now particularly popular in the city of Gyumri.
Etymology
The term kyalla derives from the Gavar dialect of Eastern Armenian, where it means "head."
