So I wouldn't come to this place again ! Their services isn't bad but when you ask for tap water they purposely try to push bottled water onto your table it's annoying. I asked for tap give tap... I'm well aware of the dangers and possible smells of tap water no lessons needed. Then the prices for The portions isn't justified. The shish kabobs are very small , flavor is good really good actually but the pieces are just look like they were sliced in half of what the portion should be. The potato chips were really good as well surprisingly since more are blend and greasy but here they are good. The cilantro onions and red cabbage definitely had a fresh and good flavor on them as well. But from previous ownership the portion size went to by a lot you can se in my previously posted pictures. The Gulchatay salad which is really a glorified Caesar salad and nothing special at all for 21$ they gotta be kidding on that. And the pale chicken that my friend and I agreed smelled and was steaming from the microwave. Not sure if they think the patrons are idiots but the chicken was definitely microwaved . We left the place fully hungry and went straight to another food spot after. If you aren't a big eater this place isn't that bad for you but many more good spot put there to try( sashlik UZ/ and Omar khayam to name a few )

The food was exceptional, with a genuine Kazakhstan influence. Despite being short-staffed that day, the service remained impeccable, and the chef delivered an outstanding meal.

Stuffed Mushrooms
Henry L.

Went here one evening. There was another table with a small group. The restaurant was spacious and quiet. Only one waiter (assuming this is the wife). The waiter asked if we spoke Russian or English. We said English. Menu was fairly large with a good selection of dishes. We had to ask the waiter to explain some of the dishes. My wife saw pictures of a particular dish and requested it after the waiter explained it was the Uzbek Plov. Rice dish was enough for two to share. The waiter then asked if we wanted a salad or dumplings to go with the rice. We chose salad, which turned out to be Achchiq chuchuk. Didn't realize it was a separate dish; which goes well with the Uzbek Plov (according to the waiter). We also ordered the Shurpa soup (forgot to take a pic) and stuffed mushrooms. The salad came first. It was flavorful (savory, salty, and refreshing). Next came the Shurpa soup. Home style soup that hit the spot on a chilly evening. The braised beef was delicious and melted in your mouth. Not salty or bland; soup was just right. The Uzbek Plov came afterwards. That dish was divine. It had a lot of flavor, the shredded chicken was not over cooked, easy to chew. We were wondering where the stuffed mushroom was, but it finally came. Not bad, but I probably wouldn't get it again. I would definitely get the Uzbek Plov and Shurpa soup again. Won't be sharing the soup next time! Although the salad was yummy, I can't justify spending $12+ for 3 simple ingredients. But of course food usually tastes better when someone else makes it for you, haha. The waiter was very kind and checked on us. The only issue was at the end when we wanted to pay. So, there was an old man sitting in the back of the restaurant by himself. He was drinking alcohol by himself and then the Chef comes out with a big plate of food and placed it on the table and sat next to the old man. Ahh, so it turns out to be the dad of the chef (they look alike!). The waiter was then eating dinner with them; her back facing us. Now, of course this felt a little awkward for us both because we didn't want to interrupt their dinner but also wanted to pay and leave. She knew we were ready to pay but she decided to sit, eat and talk with the two guys. Besides that point, I would come back again to try out the other dishes on the menu.

Spicy for food
Alisher I.

We discovered something very new and pleasant. We went with friends to a wonderful and cozy restaurant with excellent and not intrusive service and chic cuisine. A cozy and bright room, the dishes that we ordered and served to our table were fantastically served in a beautiful format and very tasty. Salads, soups, samsa, manti in the style of Samarkand tradition, lagman in Uighur and Dungan style were made from good and fresh vegetables, with fragrant spices. Fans of tradition and delicious food from Central Asia should come and try everything for themselves. Thank you very much, I have not tasted dishes from my childhood so tasty and high quality for a long time. Special thanks to Sabina for the warmth and hospitality, glad to meet you, we will be friends with you. We will definitely come back to you.

4/5 for meat appetizers, but 3/5 for entrees The meat filings for their appetizers are seriously good, but the baby-portions and jerky-like roasted lamb from the entrees might make you reconsider ordering the mains and just going for the small bites instead? Meat Samsa ($4 for 2): I've had a lot of samsas in this area but these are the best so far. Meat inside is semi chunky and not grounded up like minced meat, and the filling is super juicy beef/lamb with some onions and lots of spices. Soo good. Pastry is flakey and crispy, though not too many noticeable layers. Just perfect buttery and moist bites. Get two orders because you're not going to want to share Meat Manti ($8 for 4): oh mannn this lamb filling. Even chunkier pieces than the samsa, mixed with a lot of fattier pieces for a very satisfying bite. Bit gamey for those who can't get used to lamb. However, the skin is too thick and not soft. When I got this for takeout, the skin had already broken as well so all the juices leaked out. Kazan Kebob ($16): roasted lamb with baby potatoes. Description also says comes with red onion, but not with my takeout. Picture is below, but for $16, this is really laughable - there's 4 nugget sized pieces of lamb, one big potato chopped in half to yield two pieces. They're definitely not the baby potatoes I was expecting following the entree description. I also know lamb is expensive, but this portion is really astonishing for a meat entree. Lamb was reallllly dry. Mayyybe I got a batch that had been left over because the surface of the meat had hardened and you can actually see the jerky-like texture it was becoming. Which was really unfortunate because the flavor was actually quite decent. There was one lamb rib that was almost purely fat, but the meat on that bone was sooo tender and flavorful. Just that everything else was dried and hard to eat. Also really surprised that it didn't come with any bases of rice, fries, or even a salad on the side. Lagman ($8): Uzbek homemade noodles with beef with beef/vegs broth. Similar to Lanzhou noodles soup, but the soup is darker and heartier. Good soup, a bit reminiscent of Campbell's chunky beef stew actually. But not a fan of the thicker noodles that had absolutely no chew. Portion is also very very tiny for this.

This place has delicious food appetizers salads choices and different type of variety of Asian in European food. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting Brooklyn stop by to try out variety of cold appetizers and Salas. Then you can slowly switch to main course of the different type of protein. I highly guarantee that no one will regret it

The only thing that betrays the hidden nature of Dunya Kabab House is the brilliant red sign. Upon closer inspection, you can see a warm dining area, glass partition to see "where the magic happens" in the kitchen behind, and the many articles plastered showing their unique take on Afghani food. I bookmarked the spot to come back to, and within the week, I came back and ordered takeout for the dish most fellow reviewers raved about -- the Uzbeki Qabuli Pulao. When I got home and opened the bag, I was pleasantly surprised to find a small side salad and the dish I recognised from a visit to another nearby restaurant specialising in Uzbeki food -- the plov! The rice was really well seasoned and the lamb shank was so tender it fell off the bone. Everything was really flavourful and well balanced, even for take-out. Unlike the other place, this plov was still sweet without being cloyingly so. I had such good impression that I'm excited to return in the future and try their other dishes, since I heard *everything* Dunya Kebab House does is impeccable.

It's also super affordable for the quality and portion size--this is definitely going to become a go-to for lunch and dinner in the neighborhood for me. Don't miss it!

I ordered the Journey to Baku salad, the Turkish bread, and the Guru Khingal. The salad needed a pinch of salt, but there was a shaker on the table and with that addition, it was a decent refreshing appetizer. It's sort of a spread so I would recommend ordering some bread to eat with it. The bread came out steaming hot and smelling amazing. It was soft and fluffy on the inside and delicious. I took the extra home and ate it all immediately when I got there. Delicious bread. The Guru Khingal is honestly one of the best things I've ever eaten in New York City. I wasn't sure exactly what to expect, as I have never eaten this type of food before. The tender, handcut pasta seems to be layered with flavorful lamb fat like the most decadent possible buttered noodles and the ground lamb topping is rich and perfectly seasoned. The yogurt sauce gives the dish balance. It's a fairly large portion that could easily be shared between two. I highly recommend this spot, the glowing reviews are not exaggerating at all. I often like to try new and unusual restaurants, and sometimes I enjoy them mostly for the novelty. That was not the case at Village Cafe. My meal here was delicious and I am eager to return, even with the 75 minute commute from north Brooklyn.

I felt like I was inside someone's home and felt welcomed and comfortable. Not loud and well lit. Service (5/5): We came at an off hour during the weekend around 1:30pm there was still around 6 parties dining in. The staff provided good recommendations and good service. When asked for water without any lemon slices, they provided bottled water at no extra cost! Food: (4/5) - rated New York Times top 100 Best Restaurants in New York City in 2025 Every dish came with a small cup of sour cream / Tzatziki based sauce that went with every dish. This was a must and this was mastered very well. Kutaby with chicken and lamb (4/5) - we ordered one each but the lamb was far superior than the chicken. Guru Hingal (4/5) - served in a warmed bowl with a lid in a bed of soft pasta and minced lamb. The pasta reminded me of chow fun (Chinese rice flat noodles) and then some seasoned minced lamb. While overall there were flavors in there, it was still lacked flavors and required to be drowned in the Tzatziki sauces or perhaps a order of table hot sauce. Finally we got the Lamb Lulya Kebab (5/5): this was by far the best dish of the meal! The meat was so wonderfully seasoned throughout, juicy, and complemented well with the rice, onions, and tomato based dip. The wraps themselves were way too small to enjoy using hands so we definitely reconstructed on our plates and attempts with our hands.

You order on the sidewalk via a kiosk and choose your protein (chicken, beef, or mixed), served as a wrap, sandwich, or in a box. I got the chicken box and of the three available sides (salad, yellow rice, fries) chose the rice and sides. The most delicious garlic cream sauce is drizzled over everything, though you can get extra sauce for $1 if you want more than just a drizzle. You can also get some spicy sauce for the same price, which does not come standard with the box. I didn't try the spicy stuff, but I would next time. The rice and the crunchy, shoestring-style spiced fries were great, but of course the biggest star of the box was the ridiculously tender chicken. It reminded me of halal street meat, but it's maybe even juicier and more succulent. Minor notes: The chicken was slightly, just slightly, over salted. Don't wait too long to eat the fries, which lose their luster pretty fast (as fries tend to do).

He was unprofessional, aggressive and extremely rude. He started phasing back and forth and screaming that "You need to pay me tip". Bcoz of "tip" this man person became very angry and frustrated. If the delivery person was apologetic and kind the story would have been very different but unfortunately I had to report him. Certainly this kind of behavior and attitude is unacceptable. I immediately complained to Uber Eats and then called the store and asked for the manager but the owner of the store Mr Sadiq got on the line was very apologetic. The owner sounded like a very humble and polite person. He said he will take very strict action against this delivery person and advise me to call the store directly and order from there and ask for him. I have enjoyed Beyti food and service but now with these two incidents involving "a tip" I am very disappointed and might not want to order from this place.

I started the cucumber yogurt with warm pita bread , made in house ( I think p, not the usual thick bread but lighter more delicate) . Then had the chicken soup - blew my mind , the flavors were beautiful and so flavorful , light and nourishing with some broken rice .. my body just sighed with happiness . My partner had the vegetable couscous - looked simple - but the flavors - wow - so delicate and refined on the palate - just elevated the whole dish - we were in heaven . I had home made green mint tea to accompany the food and he had Mighty Leaf orange blossom , both complemented the food beautifully . Finally we had the pistachio ice cream - not sure where they are getting it from - but this is made with passion . Lots of lovely pistachios in a creamy luscious ice cream .
