Uzbek Eats Berlin – A Plov Lover’s Takeaway Delight
I recently ordered a takeaway dinner from Uzbek Eats in Berlin, and it turned out to be a delightful experience. The star was the Plov (a traditional Uzbek rice pilaf with meat), which arrived piping hot and wonderfully aromatic. Even as a takeaway, the dish looked inviting – garnished with bright orange carrots and fresh herbs. The portion was more than generous, easily enough to satisfy a hearty appetite.
For me, the standout elements of this meal were: • Authentic Taste & Aroma: The plov smelled and tasted like a true Uzbek home-cooked meal, with fragrant cumin and other warm spices in every bite. • Tender Meat & Perfect Texture: The chunks of lamb were juicy and fall-apart tender, and the rice was fluffy without being oily. • Generous Portion: One order was very filling and offered great value for money – I even had a bit left over for later. • Travel-Friendly: Despite being delivered, the dish arrived well-packaged and warm; nothing was soggy and all the flavors were intact.
Overall, I’m thoroughly impressed – this was easily one of the best takeout meals I’ve had in Berlin, bringing the comfort of authentic Central Asian cuisine right to my door. I’ll definitely be ordering from Uzbek Eats again and highly recommend it to anyone craving a hearty,...
Read moreWent there for the opening. It’s a fairly small place with some space at the bar/counter, so be prepared for standing while having your food. The latter though is a true delight! I tasted non kebab, which comes with pulled beef and assorted salads, so it’s not your average doner kebab, rather its sister from Central Asia. I loved it! I also went for somsa which is baked in tandoor, so it comes out crispy on the outside and juicy/gooey on the inside. Too bad though I spent 20 minutes waiting only to find out that the beef stuffed somsa I had ordered had been sold to other customers, so I was offered one with chicken filling. What you need to know however is that somsa is normally never stuffed with chicken, so for a Central Asian like myself it was rather disappointing to taste a take on the original food made for the Europeans. Now I must confess that it still hit the spot. All the spices, the crispy dough and well, the chicken, were fabulous.
This joint definitely has the potential to grow into something bigger and more popular, because the food is truly good. I do hope though that the owner finds a suitable system for the shop to operate, so that the service is always on top...
Read moreWhen I saw the logo of Uzbek Eats featuring the traditional Uzbek plate ornament, I knew we had to order our dinner from there, while visiting Berlin. Everything we ordered was incredibly delicious and authentic — Plov, Manti, and Samsa. The cook truly knows how to make a great Plov; I’ve been happy for days just thinking about it. It was definitely the right choice to order it.
The Samsa might seem a bit expensive for the quantity, but knowing how much work goes into preparing and baking it, the price is totally justified. Especially when it turns out very tasty!
Some insider tips: • Don’t drink cold beverages with Uzbek food — fat and cold water don’t mix well. Have some hot tea instead. • Don’t eat too close to bedtime — you’ll need some time to digest this hearty meal. • Didn’t finish your Plov? Warm it up the next day and add a fried egg on top! • Leftover Manti? Pan-fry them the next day in some butter until crispy… njam-njam-njam, njam-njam-njam! 😋
And don’t worry — Uzbek food might look fatty, but you won’t see many overweight Uzbeks. Dishes like Plov offer a great balance of vegetables, protein, fat and carbs to keep you energized and satisfied for a...
