    Kebab Combo Platter
    Mizan R.

    There was live singer at dinner time and it set a good ambiance. the staff are very friendly and the food is halal as well. i particularly liked the kebab combo platter with a side and also the uzbek rice pilaf with beef. the bread was a bit hard and dry but the rest of the food was brilliant. i especially liked the sauces that came with the dish it was 3 different sauces and paired nicely. they also serve ice in a nice tray. top tier eats and affordable i'll go back for sure.

    Excellent food!! I have to dock one star for service as there were so many workers there but we had to search multiple times for someone to get us water, then a fork, then the dessert menu, etc. I found that very frustrating. Aside from that, wow was the food delicious and nice portions! Really enjoyed: Borscht with beef and veg (though $12 is quite steep!) Steamed dumplings both with veal and pumpkin - delicious. Veal liver kebab and grilled veggies. Loved!! We tried their 3 homemade desserts and most enjoyed the Bukhara cake and napoleon.

    Samsa (amazing)

    Old Bukhara in River Edge, NJ. Have you ever had Uzbek cuisine? I've never had it until I went here! Very authentic, beautifully decorated and you feel totally transported. Uzbekistan's signature dish is Plov-a combo of pilaf, meat, raisins and fresh herbs. There's live music on Friday and Saturday nights and it's BYOB! The service is amazing! Insta: @thehungrysw Tandoori crispy samsa (Signature Uzbek puff pastry stuffed with veal, lamb, onions, and traditional spice blend) Toki Dolma (Uzbek grape leaves, stuffed with rice, lamb and beef, served with a side of sour cream) Achik chuchuk (Tomato, chili, onions and basil) Shepherd bag (Fillet mignon cut into small pieces, fried with bell peppers, tomato, onions, garlic baked into wrap) Mantu (Steamed Uzbek dumplings filled with choice of veal or pumpkin) Samarkand plov (The Uzbek national entrée made with short grain rice topped with a succulent blend of slow-roasted lamb and beef, complemented with savory steamed carrots, chickpeas, raisins, and fresh herbs) Shish Kebab (Lamb and Kufta) Homemade fruit compote

    How cute is that?!

    It was a Thursday night and I was looking for something new and ethnic to try within 30 minutes of my house. We're kind of spoiled in that way, lots of great choices. I saw Old Bukhara on Yelp and I knew where I was headed. My daughter was willing to join me and the plan took shape. Old Bukhara has been open for a a couple of months as of August 2024. The restaurant is pretty big, it's nice and bright, and the decor is authentic and vibrant. It looks like there's speakers set up for dancing on the weekend nights. The gentleman who took care of our table (seemed like an owner) was nice and knowledgeable. He pointed me in the right direction with my selections. I had the cold beef tongue and horseradish appetizer and it was delicious, great texture on the beef and the horseradish kicked it up. A pumpkin samsa came with three excellent dipping sauces. The red pepper paste is zesty and packs a bit of heat. We had Uzbek bread and it was served hot and fresh. I had the Samarkand plov for an entree. Really nice portion of lamb, perfectly cooked rice, and additional peppers etc. Word of warning, the little peppers are unsurprisingly spicy. (At least to my palate) My daughter had a chicken Caesar salad, chicken made fresh. They have a solid menu for less adventurous diners. Dessert was the "Old Bukhara" cake, it was worthy of its name. Nice crispy layers, chocolate, and a tasty filling. Washed it all down with a Borjomi mineral water, nice and refreshing. Menu is authentic and has lots of options, plenty directions to go in for next time!

    Wish I known this place sooner. Great service, great food, must try the lamb, either lamb chop or the kebab. Definitely deserve more visit

    Samarkand Plov

    The place is super nice and authentically designed and the staff were super nice and friendly. We got seated pretty fast although we did not have a booking. The food was awesome and it was super delicious.

    Food come out too fast. You did not finish even half of your appetizer and main course already arrives. But the problem is that the waiter does not take empty plates and just dumps food on top of each other. Few items we wanted to try were not available. Had to send one dish back. I have no idea how you can prepare beef so tough. Also did not care for music. Same eighties Soviet Union repertoire.

The ambiance is very peaceful, with walls are covered in lush greenery and artwork that will make you feel like you are in the Mediterranean islands The food is traditional and consistently high quality--my personal favorites are the Kilim Salad and the stuffed cabbage. The service is equally exceptional. Haluk is the best waiter- he is kind, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, making every visit feel special. The warm hospitality and outstanding Mediterranean food keep us coming back.

My favorite Moussaka, melt in your mouth pita bread, dolmades, calamari, and grilled octopus. Their Greek fries and gyros are next level. BYOB and your appetite savoring the night away. Park in the back right at the train crossing. Love this place. We go several times a year. Enjoy!

    THE FOOD ----------------…read more+ Assorted Hot Platter - Mini cheese pies, mini spinach pies, grilled vegetables and rice wrapped in grape leaves were all very fresh and delicious. Definitely a good way to try a little bit of everything. + Gyro Supreme with Lamb Souvlaki - Huggggge gyro with a massssive serving of deliciously fresh fries. Gyro meat and lamb souvlaki cubes were excellllllent. Lots of tzatziki inside. Easily could have saved half of the entire entree. + Gyro Supreme with Chicken - Same as the above for the fries and gyro. Chicken was fresh, surprisingly tender and absolutely delicious as well. + Grilled Chicken in a Pita - Same as the comments above. THE SERVICE ------------------ + Waiter was friendly and patient. + All of our food was served very quickly. THE SURROUNDINGS -------------------------------- + Very local, homey feel to the restaurant. + Restaurant is located right by a set of train tracks. + Interior isn't huge, but still has a decent number of tables. + Big private parking lot outside. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- + Came by on a Sunday afternoon at 12 PM and it was verrry quiet. There were 2 tables already wrapping up their meals, but we were the only customers inside for the next hour. - They charge a 4% credit card fee, so try to bring cash if you want to save a few bucks!

    Gyro King 150 Washington Ave…read more Dumont, NJ 07628 Wings Shish Kebob Chicken Tilkka Platter Chicken Rice Platter Lamb Rice Platter Chicken Lamb Mix Platter with shawarma Appearance: 1/2 Taste: On the main intersection at Washington and Madison Avenues is a local Halal restaurant. Both appetizers were excellent! The wings are hot and crispy. While the shish kebob was also really tasty, it has an elongated appearance that looks similar to a specific body part (hence the main reason for a lower appearance rating). While I was apprehensive about trying lamb, the green eggs & ham situation came into effect! As soon as I took my first bite, I was hooked as I devoured that platter! The shawarma sauce is really creamy and it goes with anything and everything! You can either have it on the side or on top of your meal. Some of the dishes, such as the chicken tikka and shish kebob, are cooked on the grill and it will take a few minutes longer. But it's definitely worth the wait! All in all, these Halal entrees are fantastic. The portion sizes are really large; in most cases, one serving will feed 2 parties. As I mentioned in previous reviews, come with an open mind and never judge a book by its cover. #dumontnj #gyroking #halal #shishkebob #chickentikka #shawarma #njfoodie #lamb #lambriceplatter #chickentikkaplatter
