    Baked Pears with cheese and walnut

    We are celebrated our mother's Birthday at Cafe light. I want to say a BIG thank you for such a warm atmosphere, wonderful staff, delicious food, cozy room. Dishes surprise with excellent presentation and taste. Svetlana and your entire team, thank you, we have never tasted anything tastier in restaurants in 13 years in America. You are amazing. Highly recommend this place.

    Pickled veggies.

    The northeast is notorious for Uzbek cuisine. It's also a go to for our big family dinners when we visit them up this way. But does the NE need yet another BYOB restaurant like this? Yes!! This was absolutely delicious! Located in a strip mall on Bustleton Avenue is this gem of a place. It's small, not fancy at all, but very tasty. I felt like we were in Grandma's kitchen. The kind, older woman barely spoke English which wasn't an issue, took our order, then prepared our food fresh in the back, one dish at a time. It was a very leisurely meal. Our table of four indulged in: Pickled veggies. Very good! Very crisp and not overbearing with a vinegar taste. Just right. The mushroom soup: huge bowl! Creamy and garnished heavily with parsley which I didn't mind, but hubs would've. If green sprinkled around isn't your thing, ask for it without. They're very big on garnish here. Delicious and filled with chunky mushrooms. More mushrooms than any other place in the area. Also a creamy consistency which is different up here as well. Warm salad with balsamic: Soooo good! So good. I loved the combo of the hot veggies over the cool lettuce. I asked for the slivered almonds and goat cheese on the side and I felt the salad didn't miss it. The balsamic was just the right amount. Yum! Potatoes with shiitake: This is a common dish for this cuisine and it was done so very right here. Perfectly crisp and hot, not too oily and seasoned to perfection. A few chunky mushrooms atop. Definitely split an order of these!! I would come back here again for sure and suggested my parents who live in the area do so immediately. Happy to have another Uzbek spot to add to our rotation. -1 star for lack of ambiance BYOB.

    Mushrooms soup is a must!

    This place is another i must return location. My wife and I are known for been foodies junkies, is hard to pass on other cultures traditions and today we tried this Uzbek restaurant. Let me start with the ambience, is a very quiet restaurant that for a romantic/family dinner is totally worthy. This is what we call a mom/pops restaurant, they don't have a big staff, maybe we counted 3 people but their passion for customer service to make you feel very welcome is very present. The food: YOU MUST TRY THE MUSHROOM SOUP! There it is just in case you needed big letters. The soup in my experience in restaurants it has been the best mushroom soup we have ever tried. I had the fish platter (i suck, i forgot to write the name of it) it was everything I was hoping for. I told my wife the fish platter took me to a good Holy Friday meal because it took me to my childhood when my parents cooked fish on that particular day. My wife had the Lamb Leg, in her opinion the plate it was just another plate that doesn't day much and doesn't stand out but it was tasty. Dessert: we had the traditional Napoleon with Coffee, this dessert was everything we were hoping for to close out a good night. I recommend it with a cup of coffee. It is very delicious.

    Creamy Pumpkin soup with pumpkin seeds in a bread bowl!

    Driving down good old Bustleton ave, we noticed a new place in a old shopping center. When we came in , a kind lady welcomed us. It was only after we ate our 2nd course we realized that they had closed 30mins ago and rather than tel us they happily served us dinner anyway. And what a dinner it was! We each had soup, one creamy pumpkin and one mushroom, each served is a freshly baked bread bowl. we then shared a "hot salad" which consisted of zucchini, tomatoes and peppers with balsamic and sweet goat cheese and finally a whole Bronzino fish with rice and yummy veggies. I don't know what I liked the most , everything was full of flavor and prepared with love. We honestly felt like we were guests in someones home. Looking forward to coming back!

    Basa and lamb ~gorgeous and delicious too

    Wow, this place gets BUSY ever since they went viral on TikTok and Instagram. On weekends…read moreespecially, the line genuinely never seems to slow down, so definitely expect a wait for both food and drinks. That being said, the team really does their best to get everything out as quickly as possible despite how packed it gets. Finding a table on weekends can also be pretty difficult, so I'd keep that in mind before going. As for the actual food and drinks, I've enjoyed most of the drinks I've tried here. I also love that they're always coming out with seasonal drinks and food specials, which keeps the menu fun and interesting. Definitely worth keeping up with their Instagram for updates. For the food though, there were a couple things I personally probably wouldn't order again. The J St Sando didn't have much flavor in my opinion, and the OG banh mi just wasn't anything particularly special to me. However, the tamarind fries and the gochujang fried chicken banh mi were delicious!! Those were definitely the standouts for me and what I'd come back for. Overall still a really fun spot with great energy and creative menu items.

    This place is super popular and has gone viral on TikTok for a reason--it's really worth the hype!…read moreTheir coffee selection is great, plenty of fun flavors to choose from. The only thing I'd say is I wish they had more hot coffee options, but I do still enjoy their iced drinks. My favorite part about this cafe is the food. I tried the Khang special banh mi and was blown away by how good and flavorful it was. Can't wait to come back and try more! The space is well-lit and large with plenty of seating, but it gets pretty crowded so expect to wait a while for a seat if you're there on a busy day.
