    Lamb shank, perfect
    Miss P.

    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

    Very good food, nice atmosphere , friendly and attentive service ! They do not take reservations on the weekend , so be ready to wait a little , because they are busy but it worth it! They have liquor menu but you can BYOB no cork fee

    Chebureki are out of this world!

    Food is amazing. Decent portions. Good service. Very cozy spot for dinner with family and friends.

    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!

    Absolutely amazing place to sit relax and eat your heart out!! The food was exceptional and the staff was amazing!! Highly recommend and will definitely come again if in the area.

    Hole in the wall! Best beef manti ever!! 5/5 Pilov with lamb 5/5 Chicken tabaka 5/5 Luyla minced beef kabob! 5/5 Lamb Chops were great! The only down side was the beef dumplings - with thick dough

    Liver, beef, lulya kebob

    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.

    The only reason this order is getting 2 stars instead of 1 is because the restaurant handled the…read moredelivery itself, it arrived very quickly, still hot, and everything was wrapped carefully. The best item in the entire order was the Mushroom Gratin (what many Eastern Europeans would simply call mushroom julienne- Mix of mushrooms in a heavy cream sauce and topped with melted cheese). It was cheesy, properly cooked, flavorful, and actually very good. That said, the price increase is absurd. This dish used to cost $15 and now costs $26, which is a 73% jump, while the portion is still only moderate. Good? Yes. Worth $26? That is another question. The Chicken Stroganoff, however, was a complete failure. It looks like the kitchen was trying to put its own "innovative" spin on a classic dish by serving Chicken Stroganoff over a latke -- basically a large potato pancake/hash brown -- and by adding pickles directly into the dish. In theory, that could have been interesting. In reality, it did not work at all. A proper Stroganoff is usually served with mashed potatoes or buckwheat, and pickles, if used at all, should complement the dish, not drag it down. Here, the pickles added nothing because they were the same poor-quality pickles this restaurant sells separately for extra money: thick, tough, bland, and lacking the garlicky, flavorful bite that good Eastern European pickles are supposed to have. The latke itself was also a miss. Instead of being thin, crisp, and well-seasoned like a proper Eastern European potato pancake, it was thick, heavy, and almost completely flavorless. No character, no seasoning, no real potato crispness -- just a large bland base taking up space on the plate. And that is exactly the problem with this dish overall: far too much latke, very little actual Stroganoff. The chicken portion was minimal, the mushrooms in the Stroganoff were bland and underseasoned, and the chicken pieces themselves were chewy, tough, and unpleasant to eat. The sauce was also weak and unmemorable. So what we really received was an oversized, mediocre potato pancake with a very small amount of badly executed Chicken Stroganoff spread over it to make the portion look more substantial than it actually was. I also paid extra $2 for extra pickles, and that was not worth it either. The portion was tiny-1 fat pickle, quality was poor -- thick, tough, and zero flavor. I asked for extra black bread, and "extra" apparently meant 4 pieces. Better than nothing, but hardly generous considering the prices this place now charges. So overall: extremely fast delivery, 1 very good mushroom appetizer, and 1 overpriced main dish that completely failed despite trying to sound creative on paper. At these prices, "innovative" is not enough. The food actually has to taste good. Here, only 1 dish did.

    Delicious food, great presentation, and excellent service!…read more We had an early family dinner at Chateau de Capitane in March 2024. It was Sat but the music would start much later so there was no noise and we could talk. Almost all food we ordered was exceptionally delicious, from appetizers to desserts. The service was very attentive and we also got good suggestions helping to avoid ordering too much :) We highly recommend Chateau de Capitane for excellent delicious food and we'll certainly be back! Appetizers Trio Tartare - awesome! It had tuna, salmon, and yellowtail tartare and each had its own distinct taste. Can't really say which one was better as they were all good but different. Sesame Tuna - perfect! Tuna was tender and flavorful, melting in the mouth. Duck Salad - this one could be better as the duck was dry and scarce. Arugula Goat Cheese Salad - delicious! We were debating whether to order this salad as we make it at home, but we didn't regret. It had a perfect combo of ingredients + some sauce or smth making it a harmony. Kutaby with Herbs - fresh, warm, flavorful. Belyash with Meat - this eastern russia deep fried meat patty was about 1.5x of the standard size. It had perfectly fried dough (not burned) and plenty of juicy medium cooked meat inside. I tired belyashi in restaurants in russia and made at home, but this one surpassed them all. Just this single belyash already makes it worth coming back to Chateau de Capitane :) Soups Uha with Salmon - it was good, fresh, and clear. Plenty of salmon. It was tasty but somewhat standard. The taste could be made more colorful with some extra spices and maybe lemon. Dushpora - fresh and tasty, with cute mini-dumplings. We all tried and liked it. Solaynka - this one was unfortunately a miss. Tasteless and over salted. Mains Duck with Dried Fruits - simply amazing! If you like duck - this a must have! The portion was very generous and had la parts of duck - legs, wings, and breast. It was super juicy and tender, cooked to perfection. The dry fruits were of a good variety and matched the duck. Chilean Sea Bass with Creamy Polenta - soft, flakey, delicious! It wasn't not too fatty as a sea bass could be. Polenta was a great match as well as a mushroom sauce served on the side. Grilled Branzino - it was served nicely peeled off the bones and had great flavor and texture, yet was not "fishy". Stuffed Jumbo Shrimps - these were very good according to the people who ate them.

Our group of six ended up having a little bit of everything from sausage dip and pepper dip to Albanian dumplings to the Mix Grill Platter, and everything that we ordered was delicious. I don't think that we were able to finish everything, and we ended up taking some stuff home. However, it truly felt authentic and It felt real. We also paired that with some Albanian wine, which was delicious as well. it was a very homey location for people to come try some new food and have a hilarious and great time. I'd also be remiss if I don't call out that the bread that they gave was delicious, so light, so airy and that we were begging for more after the first round. They pair so well with the dips that we got and trust that I'll be back for more of that alongside the entire menu.

It was my first Albanian dining experience - the restaurant seemed traditionally set up with Albanian decor and (what I'd imagine) music. It was quite easy to get a table for evening dinner though they do take reservations. They have a large dining room in back with numerous tables and decor hung up. The staff were warm, welcoming and quite attentive throughout the meal and helpful for recommendations. The menu offers nice descriptions of dishes and of cultural significance for certain ones as well. I started off with a yogurt dish and bread - the bread seemed fresh out of the oven in being hot and steamy when cracked, revealing a soft interior. The yogurt was light and refreshing and helped balance spices in the mains. For starter I got the Fli- a multilayered pancake slice with layers of crepe that was primarily buttery. It didn't have a strong taste but went nice with yogurt. For the main I got the skenderberg - veal filet mignon stuffed with cheese, a crispy potato exterior wrap and covered in cream paired with potatoes and sliced peppers. This dish was excellent and very filling with strong flavors - tender, juicy meat, creamy hot cheese and cooler vegetables to balance the hot temperature and strong flavors. I was so full I deferred dessert though they have a few options. Overall a great meal with a large menu and great dining experience, I would definitely return! They have a location in Manhattan I haven't checked out, but per the staff that location is basically identical in menu but more expensive.

The lamb burger. The burger was 5 oz of gyro meat served on a huge bun with cucumbers. There was more cucumbers than meat and way more bread than both cucumbers or meat. I got the crispy chicken wrap which basically was a chicken Caesar wrap. The dressing was sour. The chicken was the same from the kids meal, dry and not edible. The other person in our party got the avocado toast and it was good but only came with one egg. Overall I wanted to like this place but the food seems precooked. Not well executed and it's a pass for me for the price.
