Chayhana Samarkand Glatt Kosher — Restaurant in Hallandale Beach

We've had two dinners at this new Uzbek restaurant in one week, both so good. We had three different kabobs (chicken, liver and lula), fried potatoes with mushrooms, a trio of salads (carrot, beet, and cabbage) and the warm, fresh bread. On our second visit we got the trio of salads again (I couldn't stop thinking about it), lagman soup (a hearty meat soup with hand-pulled noodles) and chicken tabaka with fries (crispy garlicky chicken grilled under a brick).

Juicy, tender, and grilled...

We came here with a big group to try out this Uzbek restaurant. The salads were fresh and pretty authentic. Next we move onto the meat…the chicken tapakah was good. The lamb kebab was soft and juicy but was over salted….the manti however was very delicious, juicy and flavorful. The pielmeni (Russian dumplings) was also good and delicious. The fried pelmeni however was overcooked…the Samsa was full of meat and good. Also to note, it would have been nice if the waitress would do a better job at coming back to check on if everyone’s meal was good but also provide any additional sauces etc…I asked for ketchup and the waitress completely forgot and also didn’t speak any English.
