Had a great lunch here. Very friendly staff and the place looked spotless. Everything that we ordered was delicious- deep fried dumplings tasted amazing, fresh salad with beef was so fresh, Tajik non was amazingly crispy, meat kutabi were really juicy, chicken and beef kabobs were cooked to perfection; the herring was a bit too salty for me though. The prices are very decent and the flavors are there. I'll definitely be back.

Boneless Chicken Kebab
Sam S.

I went to Karavan on a sunny afternoon with a friend. The place was empty and very clean! We started with the meat and pumpkin samsa, Samarkand salad and the fried dumplings as appetizers. My favorite was the Samarkand salad because it had a nice balance of fresh veggies, meat, and fried potato strings at the top. I liked the samsa and dumplings as well, but they had that fried, heavy feel to them. The meat in all these dishes was tender and soft. The mild red sauce that comes with the the dishes was good also. The issue was the main dishes at this restaurant. My friend and I ordered the kebab entrees since it was a bit hot that day. My friends lamb kebab was medium cooked, which she liked although kebab is not usually raw and that wasn't mentioned in the menu. Customers be aware so you know what you're ordering, and if you like your kebab less raw and rubbery. What didn't make sense was that I ordered the boneless chicken kebab which was still pink on the inside.... and I know that chicken has to be cooked all the way through. I don't know how they messed this up, given that there was no rush, we were the only ones seated in the establishment, and it took some time for our entrees to come out-- one would think there was enough time to cook the chicken through. This is a salmonella hazard. I was didn't think anything of it at first and just cut out the pink part off the first chicken piece but the second peace had even more pink meat left inside... so I only ate one (not whole) piece of chicken in this entree. At this point I was really turned off and didn't even want it anymore. I brought this to the attention of the waitress who offered to cook it again, but I declined since I lost my appetite from the pink meat and told her I no longer wanted it. I was still charged for this entree. I think the establishment didn't have the common courtesy to take it off the bill when they served hazardous food. Because of this, I am disappointed. I didn't want to have to ask them to take it off the bill, as it should have been expected. Overall, while I liked the appetizers and ambiance, my experience with the hazardous meat left less to be desired.

Lamb Kebab and Boneless Chicken Kebab

I came here with a friend for dinner. The decor is really beautiful, and I love the aesthetic of everything. We had the whole place to ourselves, as no one was there. However, I did notice they were setting up for a large party of guests. We ordered three different appetizers; the fried dumplings, samarkand salad, and both the pumpkin and meat samsa. I can't decide which of the three were my favorite, the samarkand salad was refreshing yet filling. The dumplings were amazing; this was my first time trying dumplings and I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed them. I did prefer the meat samsa over the pumpkin, but the pumpkin was just as tasty. The pumpkin samsa wasn't sweet like I assumed it would be, it was more on the savory side and had a mix of what seemed like cabbage. (Not sure though) but still good. They also have Poland Spring water bottles available, if you are like me and prefer to know where your water comes from. Although, we were the only ones in the restaurant, it took quite a while to bring out our entrees. I don't know if it was because they wanted us to enjoy our appetizers or something else. I ordered the lamb kebab, and it came with a little mound of rice. My friend ordered the boneless chicken kebab. My lamb kebab was super delish, it was full of flavor but was very tough. It felt like I was chewing forEVER. The meat was a bit on the rarer side too, this may be their default degree, so I'd definitely recommend letting your waitress/waiter know if you like more well done meat. With that in mind, my friend had ordered the chicken, and her chicken was still pink inside. Which I think was a bit concerning. She barely touched her meal after noticing that. I think this is a nice addition, especially that it is halal. And I'm not sure of how many Eastern European restaurants that are, because I have not seen many. But I do think they could have been a bit more attentive. Other than that they are friendly and this is a really affordable place with tasty food.

Came across Karavan and found it was halal so I definitely had to check it out! They also have a prayer room available which is great for Ramadan. Food: I got to try various items such as ikra, hummus, Samarkand salad, samsa, non, kofta soup, & oxtail. Every single item was full of flavor and taste it's so delicious. Not only was it delicious but it was also a very generous portion which is great for sharing. I also tried the dessert and got the chocolate mousse cake and the baklava which are both excellent. Drinks: I decided to try the homemade fruit punch which was absolutely refreshing and felt a lot lighter than getting a soda so I highly recommend that you try the fruit punch because I think it really compliments the meal. Service: it's very rare where I feel speechless due to service but here I definitely felt like the service was so insanely good that I am shocked that somebody could have such a hospitable restaurant. Not only were they catering a large group when I went, but they were on top of their game for every single person in that restaurant. Ambiance: The restaurant is so beautiful inside they have beautiful fairy lights and spacious tables. The seats are also very comfortable and cozy. I also found at the restaurant was very clean which I appreciate especially in times like this. I will definitely be returning to try more of the menu items!

Salmon Kebab
Anastasia Z.

Came in with my mom for lunch. Quite a few tables were taken. I thought it is a good sign for a new place. The interior is amazing and refreshing, very unique. Got seated at once. The staff is very courteous, the food is delicious. The food exceeded my expectations. We ordered salmon kebab, salad, potatoes with mushrooms, kompot, and the bread. Bread was just made, so fresh and tasty, I couldn't find even in Italian bakeries the rest of the food was excellent too. I really enjoyed it and will be back soon

Do you think it's $13 platter??

This place earned its spot at the top of my BBQ list--fast…read more I discovered Hometown Bar-B-Que while in the area for my son's soccer game, and let's just say... that detour turned into a game-changing decision. Sometimes the best finds happen when you're focused on family and stumble into excellence. The food is the real deal. Bold, authentic, and done with discipline. Every bite reflects craftsmanship and pride. No shortcuts. No hype. Just results. The open, spacious layout creates an atmosphere that's relaxed, energetic, and inviting--perfect for unwinding, connecting, and enjoying great food without feeling boxed in. It has that Brooklyn-meets-business-meets-community vibe that works. And the pastrami? Memorable. Elite. The kind of flavor that sticks with you and makes you plan your next visit before you've even left.

Hometown Bar-B-Que (Red Hook, Brooklyn)…read more If you're a BBQ lover in NYC, Hometown Bar-B-Que in Red Hook is an absolute must. This place delivers real smoke, real flavor, and that no-nonsense Texas-style authenticity that's hard to find anywhere else in the city. From the moment you walk into the rustic, warehouse-style space at 454 Van Brunt St, you know you're in for something serious. The smell alone will make you hungry. I ordered the brisket, beef rib, and jerk baby back ribs, and each one was perfect in its own way. The brisket melts in your mouth with that beautiful bark and smoke ring. The beef rib is massive, tender, and full of deep smoky flavor. And the jerk ribs are a killer twist spicy, sweet, and unbelievably juicy. Their sides are no afterthought either--mac and cheese, baked beans, and collards were all on point. The staff is friendly, the vibe is relaxed, and even if there's a line, it moves fast and it's 110% worth the wait. Red Hook might be a little out of the way, but Hometown makes the trip feel like a pilgrimage. This is hands-down one of the best BBQ spots in New York City. I'll definitely be back again (and again). Highly recommend. Five stars all the way.

I've visited this spot several times before finally writing a review, and it never disappoints…read more It's a well-known favorite among Central Asians, but you'll see a mix of cultures here, which says a lot about how good the food and atmosphere are. Service is consistently top-notch -- fast, friendly, and very attentive. If you're coming with a big group, definitely make a reservation. Even smaller groups should reserve on weekends or holidays because this place gets packed for a reason. Now the food... always fresh, flavorful, and made with care. Their Gosht Burger is one of my personal favorites -- juicy, well-seasoned, and always cooked perfectly. Salads are chopped beautifully and come with just the right amount of seasoning and sauce. And don't even get me started on the desserts -- every single one I've tried has been absolutely delicious. Another huge plus: they have a kids' play zone, which makes it super convenient for families or large gatherings. The kids' menu is actually really cute and surprisingly tasty little ones always enjoy it. Overall, highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great food, great service, and a comfortable atmosphere for both adults and kids.
