Timur Stan Restaurant: Recommend to Everyone! Worth the Wait 🍢

Timur, a restaurant in Vladivostok highly recommended by local friends, really lived up to the hype——from the moment I saw the skewered meat sizzling with oil, I knew this trip was worthwhile! The charred beef and mutton, the surprisingly delicious Caesar salad, even its flaws feel "worth it". Now I just want to tell everyone: "Go eat it!"🎉 🍖 Skewered Meat: The Joy of Juicy Goodness, Only Those Who Eat It Understand! The "soul dish" you must order when entering the restaurant is definitely this skewer of grilled meat——choose between beef or mutton, the skewer is thicker than an arm. The outer layer is slightly charred from the charcoal fire, but it's not hard at all when you bite into it. As soon as your teeth touch the meat, the juice bursts in your mouth, mixed with the aroma of cumin and charcoal, with no gamey taste at all! A lamb lover at the table nodded while chewing: "This lamb is as tender as snow beef!" A large skewer is enough for two people, and the satisfaction of eating big mouthfuls of meat instantly heals the tiredness of wandering and eating😋 🍚 Mutton Pilaf: Mediocre, But Still Finished The pilaf with yellow radish has long-grain rice cooked to be distinct, with the sweetness of yellow radish seeping into every grain, and the mutton pieces are stewed until tender and falling off the bone. To be honest, compared to the amazing skewers, it's only "passable"——the taste is mild, without a particularly strong spice flavor. Maybe I was distracted by the skewers, thinking it's "just okay", but my friend ate it happily, saying "it's just right to cut the grease". 🥗 Caesar Salad: A Surprising "Rich Version" I thought the salad was just "filling in", but was hooked after one bite! A thick layer of Parmesan cheese shavings is spread on top, mixed with crispy croutons, juicy cherry tomatoes, and shredded chicken breast——unlike the usual light version, the Caesar dressing here is particularly rich, with a milky aroma mixed with the spiciness of black pepper. Every bite is like eating "salad pizza", surprisingly matching! 📍 A Hidden Gem Up High Stairs: Hard to Find But Worth It The address is [Добровольского улица, 33 ст4]. Follow the navigation to the intersection, then climb a long flight of stairs according to the sign to find it. The location is indeed a bit remote (taking a taxi is recommended!). But once you get to the store ，you'll understand: the queue almost reaches the stairs🚶‍♀️, with locals and tourists waiting together, lively like a market. The boss said that the baked buns are a "noon limited", often sold out in the evening. If you love this, you must go early! We happened to catch freshly baked ones when we went, with a crispy crust that crumbles, and the mutton filling is hot but fragrant. Regretted only ordering two😭 💸 1000 Rubles per Person: Cost-Effective Enough to Visit Weekly Three people ordered two large skewers of meat, one pilaf, and one salad, totaling over 3000 rubles (about 1000 per person), which is super cost-effective in Vladivostok! The downside is the remote location, so it's recommended to carpool with a few people. You can order more dishes and share the fare, perfect～ When leaving, I was still the aroma of the grilled meat. My friend said: "It's no wonder this restaurant is popular——the meat is fresh, the seasoning is on point, and even the salad isn't perfunctory." Indeed, being able to eat such solid and delicious exotic food in a foreign land makes the queue worth it! Next time I go to Vladivostok, I'll definitely rush there at noon, determined to eat enough baked buns! #StanRestaurant #FoodExploration #ExoticFood #Vladivostok #VladivostokTravel #EthnicCuisine #HiddenGemRestaurant #Russia
