Very Nice restaurant our favorite spot to dine in, Went in yesterday with no reservations they still served us good and Plov was awesome.
I really love their food but i have recently found out the employees lie over the phone when you call them if they have the Plov available they say they dont and in person they have it, This has happened with me three times actually very very dissapointed.
Wasn't as good as another similar restaurant walking distance away from this restaurant. Food was edible but lacked flavor and was bland . Overpriced for what your portion and final product. The food didn't seem fresh, rice was dry.

They made us wait 1 hour for food. Customer service is very bad here. They take so much time.

The Maraquanda Greek salad was mediocre. The black olives were not kalamata, but from a can. The tomatoes weren't ripe. The restaurant needs to buy tomatoes, then let them ripen for 3 or 4 days. And not enough feta cheese. The vinegar oil dressing was already on the salad, no choice there.
Tandoori Samsa was almost inedible, reheated at least once. The bottom crust was very difficult to cut. I really had to lean into it.
They weren't watching our water pitcher and it was empty for a while.
Thankfully it was not expensive. But I don't plan to eat there again.

We had an amazing experience here! The lula kebab was absolutely delicious — juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Everything tasted fresh, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service was great as well. Definitely a place we’ll be coming back to. Highly recommend!

We ordered Samarkhand Plov and the bread which made a fantastic combination together! The best meal I ever had! And add a nice glass of fruit punch and serve yourself a meal from heaven!

Solo diner for my late lunch today. It was a 45 minutes drive for me to try Uzbek cuisine for the first time. There’re plenty of free parking in front of the restaurant. There’re restaurant is right at the corner where you head into the parking so it’s well located. The restaurant is pretty spacious and open, but well decorated. I asked a lot of questions and their servers were very patient and courteous answering all of my questions. I ordered a cup of Shurpa soup, one skewer of Lamb, one skewer of Beef Tenderloin, and village style potato with garlic and dill.
The Shurpa was out of the world. I haven’t had such flavorful soup for quite some time. It’s clear broth with potato and carrot. Not greasy but well balanced with lamb and beef broth. Highly recommended!! The Lamb and Beef Tenderloin kabob are unlike Afghanistan Kebob or Turkish Kebob, I guess Uzbek kebob is more mild flavor (not much “spiced”) but still tender, juicy, and flavorful. Unfortunately the onions had too much vinegar and not grilled along with the kebab, which was my no-no. I personally enjoy with raw onion or grilled/roasted onions. If the chef can cut down the amount of salt he put on the village potatoes, it would be great.
Overall, enjoyed Uzbek cuisine and would love to come back to try their Shepherd Fried Lamb, Tanaka “oasis” hen, and Manti dumplings.

I was anticipating a good experience here because of all the great reviews. We were there early on a Friday, well before 6 pm, so the kitchen was not busy, nor the dining room. I ordered the plov because everyone wrote so highly of it. My friend got the Cornish Hem - Oasis. That was served a la carte - no sides, just the chicken.
My plov was a generous portion. It was lukewarm. The vegetables in the rice were overcooked and soggy. I could not identify the meat as lamb, which I love, and usually has a distinctive flavor. Overall the dish was greasy and not very flavorful. I don't know if it was the leftover from the previous night reheated because we were there so early, or what, but I could not recommend anyone ordering it based on my experience. I took home half of it, and usually I consume my restaurant leftovers pretty quickly, but this lasted a couple of days in the fridge before oould bring myself to revisit it.
The oasis was a bit more flavorful, but I guess I expected there to be something more on the plate. My friend's soda was served in the can, with no glass with ice to pour it into, or any offer of one. I was happy with the pitcher of water on the table.
So either I have incredibly high expectations, or we just showed up at the wrong time for this restaurant. I will not go there again, and I doubt my friend will, either. I cannot give this restaurant more than three stars, and even that seems a stretch.

Table setting leaves much to be desired. The appearance of the waiters is like in a roadside restaurant. What kind of cook is this, who was smart enough to collect meat and fish in one plate.
