This Uzbek-style restaurant is a hidden gem that delivers an unforgettable culinary experience. The moment you step in, the aroma of spices and grilled meats pulls you in. Their plov is a standout—rich, buttery rice with tender lamb, perfectly cooked carrots, and a gentle blend of spices that hit all the right notes. The manti, large and juicy steamed dumplings filled with flavorful minced meat and onion, melt in your mouth and are incredibly satisfying.
Surprisingly, their avocado salad is a refreshing star on the menu—bright, crisp, and drizzled with a tangy vinaigrette that balances the heartiness of the other dishes. The skewered kebabs are grilled to perfection, with juicy, smoky cuts of lamb and chicken that speak to the restaurant’s mastery of open-flame cooking.
Don’t miss the samsa—golden, flaky pastries filled with spiced meat that offer a comforting, savory crunch in every bite. And if you’re craving a warm, satisfying noodle dish, their lagman delivers. The hand-pulled noodles soak up the rich, hearty broth loaded with beef and vegetables.
Every dish feels home-cooked, authentic, and made with love. Whether you're familiar with Uzbek cuisine or a newcomer, this place is worth...
Read moreA very cozy café with comforting food. It might not exactly be a “high-class restaurant”, but rather a place to relax & chat with the loved ones, and it’s the very charm of this place. Food is incredible, these were one of the best kebabs I’ve tried in my lifetime. Lula kebab was unbelievably juicy and tasty, as well as the rest of the dishes we had.

I must admit the waiter was polite yet inattentive, did not look at the dining area unless specifically called, which I was a bit shy to do so I had to wait for a little while before he noticed me. I would appreciate them paying more attention to the guests, but other than that it was a great experience, especially for such a reasonable price. Overall, great! Thank you for your service, and I will definitely be coming...
Read moreAbout 10 years ago, I had the opportunity to visit Uzbekistan. Recently, I decided to revisit those fond memories by visiting Toshkent restaurant and invited my friends to join me for an authentic Uzbek dining experience. However, to my disappointment, we were met with incredibly poor treatment from the staff, which tainted our entire evening. It's disheartening to think that these individuals, who were supposed to represent the warm hospitality of Uzbekistan, seemed to have forgotten its essence. From the moment we arrived, it was evident that the staff lacked the welcoming spirit that I had come to associate with the country. Additionally, the quality of the meal itself fell far below my expectations, leaving us thoroughly dissatisfied. Regrettably, I must caution everyone to stay away from...
