Not sure if there's been a change in ownership but the menu was updated and the service was much friendlier. We had the Israeli salad, bread, babaganush, and four skewers (not fatty lamb ribs, salmon, lalya, and chicken wings). We enjoyed everything except the lalya- never had it before. The music wasn't crazy loud so it was nice to sit and eat and chat. read more

First time trying this place, been meaning to come for the last 15 years lol! We were served by Marek and she was very nice with the recommendations. The service was quick, food came out quick and dishes were cleared quick too! We tried a variety of kebabs and a mushroom cheburechki. The mushroom cheburechki was my favorite thing this evening but everything else was pretty good too! Portions were big and prices were reasonable. My takes on each dish: 1) cheburechnaya salad - light but flavorful, good to pick on with your meal. I like the avocado on top. Small portion is good enough for 2. 2) thin cut fries - like shoestring, really unique. Half portion is good enough for 2. 3) mushroom cheburechki - crispy but juicy, delicious with sauce. Definitely try this! 4) veal liver kebab: good when hot but I think one or two bite is enough because liver taste is strong.. if you like liver definitely get it, otherwise can skip. 5) lamb kebab: good, juicy. Definitely eat while hot, can be tough while cooler. A nice basic taste, nothing too weird. 6) sweetbread kebab: not my favorite it tastes a bit too fatty without justifying the fat. 7) lulya kebab: one of my favorites. It's a ground meat kebab and it's very juicy. Definitely get it! 8) beef skirt kebab: maybe my favorite one. It tastes like a juicy steak bite. 9) no fat lamb ribs: second favorite. The seasoning is good. A bit gamier than the basic lamb kebab. Overall we enjoyed the meal and will be back to try some other items! The only gripe is that the meat is a bit rare and I would not like to eat organ meat with some blood in it. My stomach was not used to it even the next day. Not sick but not feeling my normal self. I suggest them cook the organ meats more well-done next time for food safety. read more

Outside, looking inside, the windows are tinted, so it looks like it is empty. However, if you look closely, there are tables and people inside. It's fairly large inside. I found this place through Yelp and Google maps. I was very curious as to the food they were serving. We ordered the Chebureki Special, which are deep friend turnovers with a filling inside of it. They are widely known in Eastern Europe. This was my first time having it, and I enjoyed it along with the sauce. We got the piloff, too, which was a huge portion of rice that has vegetables and meat chopped up and mixed, which would be enough for three or four people. Last but not least, two skewers were ordered too, which were the lamb ribs and quail. They really didn't skimp on the portion size, and it was great when they brought out sriracha as the hot sauce. Overall, besides the slow service in the beginning, everything else was great. read more

Food was good portion size but tasted bland. The carrot salad was great but rice was just average.

Highly recommend food is good always fresh customer service is amazing i'm at the Owner couple times. He's very good kind and always in a good mood. read more

I love this place! The rice pilaf is spectacular! The meats are cooked to perfection. Honestly, all the food is so good. The price is reasonable as well. However, the service is not stellar. I don't mind it, but you're coming to an old-school kind of restaurant, so be aware that the staff just takes your order and leaves. They also add a tip to your receipt, so be aware of that. But the food is definitely worth it! read more

We also the rice with veggies. All served with the famous huge salad. Excellent. Service was very attentive. Busy vibe in the dining room. They have a large TV on the wall.

I referred many people to this restaurant. I love the set up and how clean everything is. Employees ensure you're not waiting long for your meal. The food features proper standards in preparation. This restaurant has a convenient position and we'll be returning. read more

There are tinted windows but upon a closer look - they are open! We decided to check out this place for lunch and I'm glad we did. Their fried "dumplings" are delicious with a great side sauce - sort of like salsa. We also tried a lamb and veggie grilled skewer. Very affordable and great lunch spot. read more

I don't know much about Uzbek food, but this place is one of my family's favorite restaurants in the city overall. Delicious salads, nice waitstaff and affordable prices. The sweetbreads kebab is one of our favorites-- succulent and tender, the chebureki is amazing-- meaty and soupy on the inside with a crispy flakey crust, the house salad is always a winner, and I'm a huge fan of the pelmeni soup and manti's. Strongly recommend! read more

Came here with my fiancé on the way home from running an errand because this has been on my list for a while! Around 5pm on a Monday night, the place was pretty empty but we had really good service! Ordered the deep fried cow's brain, sweet bread, salad and soup. It was my first time having cow's brain and uh.. I think it tastes a bit like oyster?? Definitely interesting but also not knocking it out of the park if I had to try it again. Wasn't bad! Sweetbread... my fiancé ordered this and I didn't really know what I was until I got it. Wasn't bad either!! Actually one of my fav. Salad - bigger portion than we thought but we loved every single bite. Lamb dumplings - I'm not the biggest fan of lamb at ALL but this was actually good!! Doesn't have the gamey texture that I hate .. quite subtle. Overall, great Uzbek restaurant - super authentic and is a must try!! read more

Delicious food at reasonable prices. Great selection of Russian and Uzbeki cuisine. I usually come here for lunch, the interior is a bit old school and not enough to use this place for dinner. Portions are big and you can get Pilaf that will feed 4ppl for $15. Most of the time I end up taking food to go as it's so much to eat. Recommend for lunch for sure. read more

A diamond in the rough, off the beaten path but a spring of fantastic food Traditionally eastern European food, a great establishment without the bells and whistles Prices are awesome and yet better, the flavors Would visit again 10/10 Plus staff have cool uniforms...it was steampunky but simple...not sure how to describe it but it made me enjoy my experience more The atmosphere was clean and traditional, lots of wooden framing, furniture, and walls, which I like read more

I've heard rumours about this place for awhile and finally got to try it. It is Central Asian cuisine, which is meat and cumin heavy. One thing I'm very particular about is lamb and how it is cooked. The lamb here is tender, seasoning is perfect, and they have several choices. If you're not into lamb fat, you can get a leaner version of the kebab, which I think was a great idea. The pilaf I had was the green, and it was not too fatty or greasy like some plov that I have had at other places. It had lamb bits and a delicious combination of green spices (I'm still trying to figure out exactly what was in it so I can attempt a version at home!) The samsa and cheburek were also excellent, not too greasy. One variety had tender chopped mushrooms inside. The waitresses were perfectly charming. I would recommend it! read more

I love the food. The service is always just fine. The ambience is also decent. However, I hate to say it, and this is just my experience, I feel like it has struggled to upkeep a clean in sanitary environment for patrons. read more

The food! We got the Plov, Manti, samsa, steak shish kebabs and some Russian soda. Food is delicious! We ate it before taking a picture but trust us- it does not disappoint. All dishes are so flavorful and unique. Service is prompt and they're very family friendly in terms of ambiance. Looking forward to coming back and this time taking pictures of the delicious dishes! read more

Server Julie was very kind & extremely patient! Thank you for taking such great care of us! We can't wait to be back!

Delicious place. I was continuously surprised at this place. The service is pretty good and the ambiance is pretty clean and comforting. Even if it's a first try at the type of cuisine definitely try this place. Great portions and great food. Couldn't be any better than that. read more

Their fried things are on the dry side. Definitely need the sauce to come with it. The place is big with tons of seating but there is a lot of people coming in playing music at times. Their service is just okay, we do have to flag them down if needed. read more

I came here with a group of 20, who had 3 separate bills, and this place did a great job of accommodating all of us. The food was cheap and delicious. I particularly liked the potato chebureki - a large deep-fried pastry with a lightly crispy exterior and mashed potatoes on the inside. It came with this delicious spiced tomato sauce that I could not get enough of. There are lots of vegetarian options, including several kinds of chebureki, samsy, and other types of dumplings, salads, etc. I left with a full stomach and a satisfied palate. I also really enjoyed dessert. As we had a large group, we ordered and tried all of them. My favorite, by far, was the green baklava, which was not like your traditional baklava. It was compressed minced nuts in a sugar sauce (and possibly green food coloring). The chebureki and green baklava alone make this place worth the 1-hour trek that my friends and I made to eat there. The only reason why I docked a star was because our service got a bit slow as more people came to the restaurant. Perhaps this place could benefit from hiring one more server, at least for the weekend. read more

Cuisine: 7 Service: 3 Decor: 5 Value: 7 Overall: 6 The food was not bad, but prefer Salute or Stix more overall. Notable mentions would be the extremely creamy and smokey babaganoush, which was excellent. The namesake fried dumplings were crispy and juicy as well. Service was lacking. It was new year's eve, but come on, we shouldn't have to spend 10 minutes to wave down the waitress for something as small as an extra fork. Good company made it easier, but we came in for a quick meal and that's not what we got. read more

From what I understand/what local Russian folks have told me, there aren't any good Russian restaurants in Queens, so Russians in the community resort to Uzbeki and Georgian food to stifle their cravings. Well this is the Uzbeki option. Very good value and flavourful foods. To be honest, I come just for the appetizers but I do sometimes get the shish kebabs. Other entrees or sides like the pilaf just aren't as good. Definitely get a few Cheburek, for the namesake, and maybe some Samsi as well. I'm a bit more attached to the Samsi, just because it's baked rather than fried. Most of the fillings are pretty good, but if you're short on stomach space, maybe skip the mushroom/potato fillings. Favourite Samsi is strangely the one with pumpkin filling- pumpkin and black pepper just go so well with each other. And with every order, you'll have a nice metal saucière with a tomato based sauce that pairs perfectly with everything. You'd be doing a disserve to yourself if you didn't partake. I do have the occasional craving for Pelmeni, which I would describe as something akin to a wonton soup, or Lagman just for those thick doughy noodles. Lastly, to address the elephant in the room, Lamb Testicles are a go, but the Beef Brains are a pass. But then again, I don't share Southern desire to eat deep-fried butter at country fairs. read more

Had dinner here earlier today and can still smell the meat being cooked Walking in, you're greeted with this wonderful aroma of food being cooked. I came with a party of 12. My sister's BILS ordered because they're regulars at this spot and I swear every single thing just kept getting better and better. We got pickled veggies and a salad to begin with. The pickled veggies included pickles, cabbage, and peppers. The regular salad had avocado, asparagus, cucumbers etc. it wasn't even a regular salad. It was too good. We then got bread and this flaky doughy dish with potatoes in it- I will butcher the names but it's like Cherukey with potatoes. It's salty and oily and flavorful and tastes really good with their hot sauce on the table. It's delicious. We also got the meat pies - I assumed it would have ground beef in it but it was more like an empanada with pieces of beef and lamb and veggies in it. It was good but not my favorite. The French fries had some sort of seasoning, salty garlic + parsley on it which was also delicious. We got the chicken, lamb, lamb rib with fat and without fat and sea bass. It was all delicious- so freaking good! It's great for people who are low carb, and also meat lovers. It's perfectly marinated, salted and seasoned and I'm already craving more. That hot sauce on the table is your best friend there- it works with every single dish on the menu except dessert. We got a green dessert thing which is like pistachio baklava? Really different, really unique but really good. The service was a little slower than I expected but the servers were sweet and accommodating. They serve wine and beer, but it's also BYOB :) read more

I was so hungry and homesick for my moms Armenian cooking and asked my aunt what she recommended. She said I should try this place so I did. I was not disappointed. It wasn't Armenian food but it was good delicious food that is similar to Armenian food. I decided to try a few things. Borsh, hot black tea, small fresh bread, lamb kebob and lamb cheburechka. Everything was fresh hot and tasty. I will definitely return for another dose before I head back to California read more

A hidden gem. The prices are amazing, just like the food. Everything is fresh and delicious, but did not take long for the waiter to bring to us. All ingredients were top quality. The shashlik was tender. Everything was flavorful and seasoned to perfection. They have their namesake, the Chebureki, perfected. The waitresses are very kind and sweet. They speak Russian, English, Bukharian etc. An authentic Central Asian experience atmosphere. They have a bathroom in the back. It's pretty big with spacious seating. read more

Came here for my first ever Uzbek cuisine experience after I was unable to get any service from Shashlichnaya which is located on Queens Blvd. Walked in and the first thing I noticed it how crowded the place was, the noise level was a little on the louder side but bearable. It's pretty confusing since they don't exactly have a host or hostess. But dang within seconds the guy that was busing a table asked me how big my party was and told me I could have the table he was just cleaning up. Definitely off to a good start. Within a few minutes we were seated and greeted with water. Menus were available on the table, sort of like a diner. The waitress tried to get our order but we weren't ready yet so she gave us time to look over the menu. After a few minutes I flagged her down and she came over and patiently took my order. Ordered 2 cheburekis, one meat and one veal, 1 beef kabob, 1 chicken layla kabob, 1 salmon kabob and green pilaf. After a couple minutes we noticed another woman that worked there made sure our waitress took our order since she noticed we were sitting there for a while without food. Appreciated the attentiveness. The cheburekis came out first then the green pilaf, followed by the kabobs. The cheburekis were delicious and so juicy on the inside. In all honesty the tasted really similar but man on man the sauce was awesome, I could eat that sauce with a huge bowl of rice. The green pilaf was very lamby tasting, not sure why, but for someone who likes lamb I really loved it. The kabobs were good, nothing special, they were cooked very nicely and still quite tender and juicy. The entire meal for the 2 of us cost under $30 per tip. Great food and very reasonably priced. Will definitely be going back especially for more cheburekis! read more

Amazing food. Went here with family and food is awesome. Taste and the quantity is decent.

Very nice and polite service and good food. I like Chantel and kebabs. And garden salad

Went here for Door Dash pickup the Ambiance was very live & festive with everyone eating & enjoying themselves. The wait wasn't that long. Didn't stay for table service but wanted to go back so I ordered Plov at my job near by for a party. It was Very Good! Plov is new to me but I Ike it w Lamb the best !! It comes w chicken as well. I would like to go back to see what else I can taste that's different from my cultural foods. read more

It was very clean and spacious. Excellent and prompt service. We tried samsa, mantu, Pilaf, etc. Samsa was very bland, and the dough was not light and crispy. Mantu was very juicy. It would have been better if the sauce would be spicier. Pilaf was so so, lukewarm and bland. However, we loved their tomato and carrot salads. read more

Cheburechnaya did a great job with their website and have amazing pictures of their food. I first tried the chebureki and when I bit into it, it all started leaking with some kind of broth and I was unpleasantly surprised. I had to first let everything leak out and then I was able to eat them. Next, I had the Samsa and it had a lot of onion and I couldn't really taste the lamb in them. Personally, I don't like onion and I would rather taste more lamb. I then ordered the beef and lamb kebabs. The lamb was one was alright but the beef one was mostly unchewable. I also want to say that the Kebabs were very salty and the sauce that came with them was salty too. For desert beverages, they only offered green tea and coffee. It would be nice if they had more variety. As a side note, I got lucky with parking but it may be hard to find. Overall, I didn't really like the food because it was very salty and could have been prepared better. # read more

I had never felt in such a delusional situation, I got a recommendation for the place, so I went with friends, we made an order of the dishes and after a few minutes the waiter asked us to leave the place because they are not going to serve us !! In response to the question of why, they replied that they did not want to take responsibility for the kosherness of the place, just delusional! So let's start by saying that any person who cares a little about kosher, should not think about approaching this dubious place! And no other decent person should support a restaurant that throws people out like that! There are plenty of other places in New York that provide the same style of dining, so why dwell on a restaurant like this ?! read more

The lamb Adana and lamb ribs are absolutely phenomenal. They also have a butcher shop in the basement

We were very satisfied with our meal here and I will say, I think the prices are excellent (especially for a Kosher spot!) We got many things to try: skirt steak shish kebabs, lamb shish kebabs, and salmon shish kebabs. The skirt steak shish kebabs were really the stars for me. They were nice and juicy. We also got rice with veggies, which was very good, borscht, and lagman noodle soup. I was not a fan of the lagman noodle soup, as it was completely overpowered with anise. I am not used to that seasoning in my lagman. We got babaganoush, and two salads, both the same except one had olives in it. They were a great portion and had cucumber, tomatoes, onions, and each one had a generous amount of avocado- a very pleasant surprise. Lastly, we got carrot salad and bread as well. Definitely a good spot and I look forward to going back! read more

It was my go to place for many years. I have to stop now. Reason number one is your lamb kabab are very hard shew and looks like lately the meat is not fresh. Yes, I can tell the smell and taste of lamb vs smell and taste of spoiled lamb meat. Reason number two... just look at the picture. Usually restaurants include service fee for a party of at least 6+ people. And nowhere on the wall I saw a sign warning me of this practice. Customer have to decide how mush tip he is gonna leave. Sorry, but you just lost a customer... read more
