Gata is a buttery, sweet Armenian pastry made from a soft, yeasted or shortcrust dough, filled with khoriz—a mixture of flour, butter, and sugar, or sometimes nuts like walnuts or almonds. It’s shaped into rounds, rolls, or braids, then baked until golden, often marked with symbolic patterns or cut into diamonds.
Commonly baked for New Year, Easter, or pilgrimage days, Gata is found across Armenia, especially in Garni, Gavar, and Artsakh, each region offering a slightly different style.
