So I have ember here over 25 maybe even 30 times and HAVE NEVER BEEN CHARGED FOR LEMONS!!!!! NEVER EVER What kind of cheap business do you have to be to charge for lemons for water ??? I loved this place but when you do this kind of petty stuff just leaves sour taste in your mouth . I'll moving onto another place sadly . Not to mention when we got the check and were debating it with a friend the servers were walking around starring amd looking one came over to ask what's wrong we mentioned it to her and lying straight to my face that we have always charged for lemons when I always ask for lemons every single time . Not to mention that they raised all their kebab prices by about 2$ per stick they didn't add size , portions but prices went up . read more

Good food, painfully slow service. We ordered for pickup and they said 20 minutes. It ended up being 50 minutes. Anyway, the Greek salad was my favorite part of the meal, it was excellent. The lamb and lulya kebabs were very good. As for the plov, I've had better, I've had worse. The liver cubes were also okay, not great. Their salmon dish with white sauce was very good too. Prices are amazing for these days. read more

Accommodating staff, quick service, pleasant experience. The management takes care to make their customers happy. The space is tiny, and it gets super packed during busy rush times of lunch and dinner. Get here a bit earlier than traditional meal times, if you want to snag a seat. The decor is casual, so this is a no frills space for a meal for any informal occasion. All meats are oversalted, so keep that in mind if that's an issue for you. You will be very dehydrated after your meal, so drink plenty of water as you're eating. Menu is extensive, so even picky eaters will be able to find something satisfactory. Prices are reasonable for portion and quality of food. Portions of salads are generous, which is appreciated. Greek salad was delicious--well balanced and delicious. Best salad on the menu. Satisfying and healthy. Tashkent salad was bland and not prepared in the usual style of this salad. I would skip this next time. Turkish Liver appetizer is tasty, delicate, and bursting with flavor. Recommend. Manti were spot on--delicate, thin dough, juicy meat. Would be back for this. Chebureki were on point--light, crispy dough and flavorful meat filling. I try to avoid chebureki because they are so fatty and oily, but I did not feel that with this presentation. Lulya kebab was juicy and tender--a winner out of all the meats that we ordered. Very salty. Lamb kebabs were our least favorite--the meat was dry. Very salty. Lamb back kebab was juicier, so if you're looking for a good cut of meat, this would be your pick. Very salty, still. Can bring your own alcohol, as all Russian speaking customers are used to. read more

Place is pretty small and extremely packed. We went there on Sunday afternoon and luckily had a table right away. Service was fantastic, servers were always available and very courteous. Most importantly food was super great. For appetizers we ordered beef tongue with radish, it was excellent and very fresh. Turkish style liver cubes were excellent as well. Crunchy and juicy and nice sized portion. For entrees, we order potato dumplings very good, lamb shanks super good and beef tails were superb, not many places know how to make them but at Omar Khayyam they nailed it. Prices are good considering the location. Definitely recommend it read more

We were invited here so we can't speak on the prices. We also don't speak the language and the person who invited us was communicating with the staff in their native tongue so we can speak on the service. However, the food came out quick and it was yummy. The pilaf's portion was smaller than I've had in other places. But the samsa was pretty big compared to other places. The Greek salad had pastrami crisps on the top which threw me off, I've never seen that before. The place is small and packed tightly so it can be difficult to move around. P.S. Parking in the area is very difficult. read more

Short female Head waitress with black hair is very rude. When asked, what do you recommend, she says "I don't know what you like!" What kind of Service is that? Be aware, they Already tack a 10% service charge on top of the bill. There is no service, they just bring your drink and food to you. No checking on you, no refill water. Food was decent if you like blood-tinged chicken Tabaka. When I tell her, chicken is still raw, she gives me attitude and explain it's cooked saying, "you got it?" Save your wallet go elsewhere. IMPROVE YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE OR ELSE YOU WONT HAVE CUSTOME read more

The food here brings me back again and again. The rates won't surprise you, choices aren't confusing, and meals satisfy. Their dishes show culinary skill and their servers show hospitality expertise. Their experience provides total satisfaction. I'll absolutely return to this restaurant. read more

The place is located next to Brighton beach train station. The inside is pretty simple, and you can bring your booze because the business does not sell alcohol. For the starter, we had a fresh veggie salad; the portion was huge and easy to share. I also ordered samsa, but I do believe there are better places for that. As a side dish, we had potatoes with mushrooms. I believe this place has the best kebabs in the area! If you are a fan of liver and lamb ribs, this is the perfect spot! The ribs are super juicy, and the liver melts in your mouth. My husband does not like lamb meat, so he orders chicken and beef, which are also really good! read more

Absolutely INCREDIBLE food and my first time trying an Uzbeki restaurant! Came for dinner in a group of 7 after a Sunday at the beach and there was a table available. Here's what I tried: Pita bread: so good that i never wanted to buy grocery store sliced bread ever again Fried potatoes and mushrooms: so simple and so delicious Dorado fish: delicate with perfect crispy oily skin Pilaf: lamb over fatty, flavorful rice The branzino, quail kebab, pickled veg salad, tomato salad and buckwheat side dish were also just all perfect. This truly felt like a feast of high quality ingredients in simple but beautiful flavors. Great and kind service. One of the best places I've eaten at in New York! read more

Small place with a huge menu of delicious food. The service is fast paced but the wait staff is very attentive. They provide excellent recommendations. The Navruz salad, beef kebobs, liver kebobs, lulya and fried potatoes with mushrooms were finger-licking good. You have to try their home made kompot (fruit punch) and their smetannik (cake). Great ambiance wish the place was a tiny bit bigger but for a little place they food packs a punch of yumminess. read more

Since it opened in 2023 I have never missed an opportunity to have lunch or dinner here when I am in the Brighton Beach/Coney Island area. They serve solid Central Asian cooking, which, as usual, includes some Russian specialties. I usually get some sort of lamb shashlik and either the potatoes and mushrooms or the herring and boiled potatoes. Moreover, the prices are pretty reasonable. read more

** This is not a Halal Restaurant *** So I'm a big fan of Restaurants that are #Halal as it allows me to comfortably eat food without worrying about weather I can religiously eat it or not. For those that dont know what is Halal, its basically similar to having Kosher meal. And those that eat kosher meal can understand how important it is for the restaurant that's saying its meal is kosher, to actually be kosher ... Why I'm giving this restaurant 1 star is because I hate when restaurants milk the system by saying their food is halal when it's not. The restaurant owner says its halal, asking them for certification could not provide it. Asking them for receipt of where they buy they could not provide it but says they buy from halal meat shop so I said give me the name of this halal meat shop and I will ask them if they supply your restaurant with halal meat , THEY SAID THEY CANNOT PROVIDE ME THAT INFO AS WELL ... My friend who understands their language heard one of the server laughing, saying who cares if the food is halal or not. I feel its situation like these where we should have an entity that enforces restaurants who say they have halal food but cannot provide any information that backs their claim of their restaurant being halal. The restaurant also serves Alchohol! Dont play with a select community to make easy money! Restaurant owners should know they cannot and will not be allowed to do such things! If this was a Jewish Restaurant, the people would have shut it down based on the restaurant not having any proof of it being Kosher ... read more

Great stuff. Great food Great customer service came here w my dad for lunch and this place was slammed but they got us a table

Very disappointed. The woman taking order over the phone is extremely rude and unprofessional, does not know how to speak with clients or take a correct order. She messed up my order and it is ok I would not take my time to sit and write a review if she wasn't so nasty about it when I called. Instead of just apologizing that she misunderstood or that they were busy, she started to accuse me, that I did not order Pelmeni and they do not have it in their menu, (they do have it and she confirmed when I asked if they have) when she recalls me asking about it and going over the order with her. She didn't give me total of the order because she was busy, she said it will be ready in 20 mins when we waited almost 50 mins. The worst part about all this, is that the food was not good, me and my husband both were sick from it. I will not order from them again, think twice before ordering from this place. read more

A restaurant for foreigners? Maybe not. Last Friday night at 9:50pm, I walked in with my Dominican friend and they denied us service. Saying they were "closing" but still was an hour before. I would come to this restaurant growing up with my Eastern European family, no problems. This was definitely an attack on him and his race. This restaurant has lost a loyal customer. This incident was enough to turn me away forever. read more

They have amazing food, it is very fresh and almost gets better every time I go. I am glad they opened up in the neighborhood.

The best items out of everything that we ordered were Cheburek and lula kebabs, super juicy and fresh. $5 cheburek was really big I mean it was like a meal on its own. Lamb pilaf definitely needed more flavor, spices and garlic. read more

Recommend. A great place to dine or have a drink with a very small group of close friends. Each dish is made with love and professionalism. prices are not high. You can drink your own. For a large company, only lunch is more convenient (there is no place for dancing). Everything is clean and tasty and fast and attentive! 11 out of 10 read more

Not a place for Muslims with Hijab. I went with my wife and daughter to this restaurant. they asked us to wait for a table. I waited long. Some other people came after and waited too. they let others enter. I asked why. they said just wait. eventually many people kept going before us and the waiter didn't let My Hijabi wife and I to enter. I didn't know that they have something against muslims with Hijab. it's a terrible experience. I feel bad for going there and wait all this time to find out. I would feel better if the waiter told me straight forward and not make us wait very long to be humiliated. read more

Excellent food as always, salads are always fresh and flavorful. The kebab was cooked perfectly, both chicken and lamb. The vareniki, we got potato, cherry, and cheese were excellent. The potatoes with mushrooms are really good here! Our delivery got lost so may be best to pick it up yourself if you can, but delivery drivers were super nice gentleman. Always a quality meal with large portions. read more

Went to this gem for lunch in Brooklyn. Loved the food selection variety on the menu. Their prices are very reasonable and fair. If you stop in you'll have to try the avocado salad. You get a very nice portion and the dish itself was very yummy. The kebabs were super delicious too!! The service all around was great. Everyone seemed to be attentive and nice. If you're craving Middle eastern styled comfort food this is the place. read more

My husband asked this restaurant to reserve a table for 6, but "nooo" they do not do reservations, and they asked us to just come by and they had a table for 6. It was a lie. We came in few minutes, and saw that a couple was occupying 6 seats, and other 2 people were occupying 4 seats. After 30 minutes of waiting and finding chairs nearby, a waiter told us that he would not serve us, 6 people, although he could have done it when we sat 6 people on a table of 4. The waiter was very rude, and we just got up and left to Wise! They had a table, and manners and were welcoming! read more

... went last night for dinner and we felt that it was even better than last time [4] months ago. Everything was super fresh and super delicious. Easily one of the best meals I've had this summer. We ordered Achuchuk Salad, Tashkent Salad, Feta w/Tomatoes, Manti, Cheburek, Lamb Kebab, Beef Kebab, Liver Kebab, Ribs, Buckwheat, and Tea w/Cherry Jam and Smetanik Cake for dessert. I would do it all over again tonight. Highly recommend! read more
