A small room, the tablecloths on the tables are dirty, they don’t feel washed at all, the dishes are chipped, napkins for table setting are in terrible condition, which are used many times, the impression is that either this establishment does not have an owner or the owner saves on everything, including the safety of clients , I also found out that the tips I left on the card did not reach the service staff. I’ll make another test visit and if this happens again, I’ll contact FloridaDepartment of Business and Professional Regulation And I will close the shop, along with the owner of the establishment.

Very delicious and fresh Uzbeks and Russian food will be visited again ?
I was visiting Sarasota and realized that it was Nowruz, the Persian new year. I looked for a Persian restaurant and the nearest one was in Tampa.Happily, I found an Uzbek restaurant close by. Knowing that Uzbeks celebrated the holiday just as much as Persians we decided to give it a try. We weren’t at all disappointed.We were just about the only ones in the restaurant because we got there quite early in the afternoon, but we were attentively served by a very friendly and knowledgeable waitress who helped us with become familiar with Uzbek and Russian food.Long story short: the appetizers (traditional Uzbek bread and a kind of flaky cheese dumpling) were delicious, as were the lamb entrées that we chose. Dessert was a very tasty Russian treat, Syrniki (farmers cheese-stuffed pancakes, topped with sour cream and cherry preserves) which was fabulous.We’ll definitely be back – I highly recommend this place.Parking: plenty of parking right in front of the restaurant, which is located in a strip mallKid-friendliness: No children there when we were there, but I’m sure it’s child friendlyWheelchair accessibility: Completely accessible
Stumbled upon this restaurant and it is such a gem! Beautiful decor and delicious food. Took my daughter 6 year old daughter with me and even she liked it, which is no small feat! We will definitely be back.

2024-03-16I visited a restaurant which had a nice atmosphere with live Russian as well as recorded music. The volume of the music was perfect, not too loud, which added to my enjoyment of the ambiance. As a vegetarian, I asked the waitress about the vegetarian options available and she recommended the Draniki (Potato Pancakes) which were described as Grated Potato Hashbrowns, Fresh Herbs & Sour Cream, and confirmed that they did not contain any meat. I ordered the Draniki accordingly.However, when I received the dish, it was in a pot and did not look like traditional pancakes. I assumed it was a new and unique dish from Uzbekistan. Only after I started eating did I realize it had meat in it. I called the waitress to inform her about the issue, and she agreed to replace the dish with a vegetarian one. After a 20-minute wait, I received a new version of the Draniki, which looked like traditional pancakes and contained no meat.I noticed that the menu mentioned "Fresh Herbs," which were not included in the dish. When I asked the waitress about it, she brought me the herbs. Initially, the waitress informed me that I would be charged for the replacement of the Draniki, which I agreed to, even though I felt that they should not have charged me for their mistake - firstly for telling me that it was a vegetarian dish and secondly for not mentioning that the dish contained meat.After a while, the waitress informed me that I would not be charged for the replacement dish. However, when I asked for the herbs, they informed me that I would be charged for the dish. In the end, I was charged for the Draniki.Overall, it was a disappointing experience for me, especially charge/no charge/and then back to charge, even though it was complete their fall.Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian options on the menu, but they serve with meat and know about it. Be careful.

If it hadn't been for someone referring me to this little gem, I probably would have never noticed it!A small store front in a strip mall, the sign slightly hidden behind a tree, and surrounded by a plethora of other businesses, it's easy to overlook. But what a shame if you have never tried this absolutely delightful restaurant!The ambiance is fabulous! As authentic as the delicious cuisine! The flavors were fantastic, and the service was astounding.This will most certainly not be the last time we dine here!!
What a gem! I’m in town for a conference and discovered this place near my Airbnb. Wonderful food & atmosphere!

In this establishment you will be robbed and rude. Personally, my phone was stolen here, I won’t say who. A police report has been filed and an investigation will take place. I don't recommend it to anyone. Avoid this place.
