I took my girlfriend here for her birthday. I took my girlfriend here for her birthday set everything up in advance. It was my first time going. The food was delicious absolutely delicious. I'm from New York and it's hard to find good European food. The service wasn't that great. I still did leave a very good tip. I placed my order in advance. I ordered a lot of stuff. And I said bring it out slowly here and there. I started with two drinks 20 minutes late. I still didn't have them. I winded up walking it up to the ball myself ordering the same drinks and getting them before. The girl actually brought me my drinks which she did about 5 minutes and a half after. And even with all the complaints I was trying to be nice. I still did speed diggins nothing sped up. There was another waitress in there and I went over to her and asked her that I wanted to bring out cake for my girlfriend's birthday. When she got involved everything seemed to go a little faster. I mean come on. I saw my waitress walk by me like eight times and not even once come over to the table and say to us. Is there anything I could get you even have to to drink fiasco. I tried it again. I ordered other drinks again. I had to walk over to the bar and get it myself. The music was great. We had a great time dancing and listening to the music. The atmosphere is great and like I said the food is great. Just if I put it as a whole the service was terrible. I still gave her 25% tip because I wanted to show the girl. She thought I was probably complaining so much that I wouldn't tip all. I didn't do that. I did quite the opposite by giving 25%. . They split their tips at the end of the night and the other waitress was great. Don't get me wrong. The waitress was nice when I saw her and didn't even have to complain several times. You would figure the service would speed up a little bit but it surely didn't. I ordered probably about seven dishes for just the two of us. Figured a lot of leftovers take home but I only got four of them. It worked out as the four wheeler was perfect. I wasn't charged for the seven either so her mess up save me money. But with tip and everything else the bill came to about $250. I just wouldn't expected a little bit more better service they say service is the most important thing if it wasn't for the music and the good dancing, I wouldn't have anything...
Read moreBeluga House is truly a hidden gem—and not the kind you stumble upon by accident. This is not just a restaurant; it’s a cultural journey. If you prefer to stay in the safe zone of familiar food and predictable nights out, you might miss the magic here. But if you crave new adventures, love to immerse yourself in different cuisines, and appreciate the traditions and flavors of other cultures, then Beluga House will feel like a celebration made just for you.
From the moment you step inside, you’re transported. The aromas of fragrant spices greet you at the door, hinting at the authentic dishes to come. The staff, even with a language barrier, exudes warmth. Our waitress spoke little English, yet her kindness, genuine smile, and helpfulness bridged every gap. Hospitality here is not about perfect words—it’s about the heart behind them.
The food was nothing short of outstanding. Having traveled to Uzbekistan, I know the depth of flavor and soul that goes into their cooking. When we saw they served authentic pilaf—Uzbekistan’s iconic rice dish—we were instantly sold. The tender meat, perfectly seasoned rice, and blend of spices transported me straight back to Tashkent. Every bite was comfort and memory combined.
And then there’s the atmosphere. Indoors, the place is alive—truly alive. The energy is infectious, with live singers, a DJ, laughter spilling from every table, and people dancing as if the night belonged to them. Music fills the air, and even if you don’t understand the lyrics, you understand the joy. Dancing isn’t just encouraged—it’s inevitable. Outdoors offers a different charm—quieter, more intimate—where you can enjoy the same incredible food under the open sky while still feeling the heartbeat of the celebration inside.
We ended our evening with dessert and tea, both as thoughtfully prepared as the main course. The tea was aromatic and soothing; the dessert, sweet but balanced—an elegant finish to a night that was already unforgettable.
We will absolutely be back, and next time we’re bringing our Russian and Uzbek friends to share in the magic. Beluga House isn’t just a meal—it’s an embrace from another culture, a place where music, food, and human connection come together in one joyful,...
