Caravan Restaurant — Restaurant in Bolingbrook

Cozy place right on Schmidt. I ordered a little over an hour before they close for takeout, but walking in everything looked very clean and I was immediately greeted. I ordered the dumplings and Plov.

The dumplings are HUGE and quite flavorful. The red sauce they give with it is nice (make sure to order extra). The filling was delicious and the dumpling had a nice, chewy texture.

The Plov was amazing. It had quail eggs, bite-sized pieces of boneless lamb, shredded carrots, tender cloves of garlic, a fresh side salad, and raisins (or at least a very close relative of the raisin). The lamb was succulent; took very little effort to chew and had no gamey taste at all. The quail eggs were a nice surprise; I’ve never had quail eggs and was nervous but it tasted just like chicken egg. The shredded carrots and raisins added a little sweetness which was welcomed. A side salad can make or break a meal, and the side salad was fantastic. The tomatoes were firm yet juicy, the cucumbers were crisp and cool, and the onions and herbs...

We order from this place quite often. It is sad to say that for the last 2 orders the food was not fresh. I mean not fresh at all. We ordered Gulash and Kazakh soup today. Soup was not tasty as it used to be. It feels like boiled water was added, not flavoured. Gulash was gone bad. It smelled like it was spoiled, tasted like an old food from yesterday. I was scared to serve the food to my family. So sad that they did not care about the clients anymore. Not ordering from this place again, and recommend be careful...

Last evening, my husband and I tried a new Uzbek restaurant in town called Caravan Uzbek Cuisine in Bolingbrook. We both had bowls of soup. The broth was different for both of our soups and they tasted completely different. I had the beef dumpling soup, called Pelmeni-Chuchvara (shown in the pictures below). The husband had the beef strips soup but I don’t remember what it was called. We both enjoyed dinner a lot, and highly recommend it to...
