I come here all the time for good Uzbek food. Genuinely the one and only place I can go for this. They have great Samsa. The only complaint: hardly any toppings on my plov. I have celiac disease and try to treat myself with some celiac friendly food from time to time here, I ask for less rice and more toppings. Tell me why my bowl is 80% rice, 15% beef, and 5% toppings. The past 5 times my plov was basically beef and rice. This last time I asked for less rice and extra toppings. This picture will tell you about my past 5 plov orders. after I removed the beef just to show how much rice vs actual flavorful toppings there were. I would actually pay $10 extra dollars for the order I actually want, I don’t know what I need to say to get the plov the way I used to get it when the man was behind the counter. Very disappointing how one of my favorite dishes is gone apparently and I can never get it again no matter how I ask. Please change this, I want to eat this...

The food is alright however the customer service is horrible. Whoever the older lady waitress is she is horrible at doing her job. She pushes through her needs. She is not friendly, she has a very cold personality and never came to check and ask how are things going. At the end when it came to paying the bill she put all our table’s bill together. We asked if she could split the bill, but she said she can’t and wants our table to pay as one. She said one of you pay for everyone and the rest of you pay him back with cash or zelle the amount to your friend.

She doesn’t understand what if the customer doesn’t have cash or can not zelle the money. This is a restaurant that people come with friends and families. Are they all supposed to pay together? You should always respect the customer and as a business owner please put that as priority.

People like her will ruin a prosperous business. Please OWNER pay attention and retrain her if you don’t want to lose...
