Went to the restaurant waited 10 minutes no one even asked why are you here or where do you want to seat. Just looked at us that never seen any human. Worst restaurant ever been to. Even though restaurant was fully empty. Not recommending at all. Just wasted 30 minutes to drive there. Shame on you.

One of our favorite restaurants in the area! It's such a welcoming place with delicious food. We've tried the Manti, Meat Kutabi, Uzbek Plov, and Pork Shashlik, and everything was fantastic. My personal recommendation is the Meat Kutabi—crispy with juicy meat inside, it reminds me of the Crimean dish Yantyk. Make sure to order manti in advance, as there is bit of a wait time for them (~ 30 minutes). They are making this dish from scratch and do not freeze it. The shashlik was tender, juicy, and well-seasoned, while the plov was perfectly flavorful. The staff here are wonderful—friendly, attentive, and they provide excellent service.

We enjoyed our date night with delicious authentic food. Each dish came out separately The rendezvous salad was tossed table side, it was refreshing and light with beets,carrots and crunchy potatoes and pickles. The samsa and chuchvara came out pipping hot, we could not get enough of them! We also enjoyed the Lagman with homemade noodles, hot stuffed grapes leaves and beef stroganoff with home style potatoes. Delicious! I am coming back and bringing my friends and family. Highly recommend!

I recently had the pleasure of ordering catered banquet from Shirin Cafe for a large event at a public venue, and I couldn’t have been more impressed. From the very beginning, their team went above and beyond to tailor their service to meet our specific needs. The food was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish received compliments from our guests, and the attention to detail was remarkable.

I recently visited Shirin cafe Uzbek restaurant, and I have to say it was an incredible experience! The food was absolutely the best – every dish was bursting with flavor and tasted truly homemade. The desserts were out of this world, and the service was amazing. The staff made us feel right at home, and every detail was perfect. This place is, without a doubt, the best of the best. Highly recommend!

Excellent Slavic food, owners and staff are very friendly, and the whole experience has been great every time we’ve visited.

The ribeye kabob is proper šašlik, just like my father makes in our home country. We love their achichuk salad, potatoes, tšeburek, boršh, Uzbek bread — and of course kompot and fresh brewed coffee. Even the deserts are delightfully fresh and authentic. If you’re looking for Eastern European cuisine, this place is definitely worth visiting.
