Finding hard, chewy pieces occasionally can happen, but it occurred often enough that it noticeably affected the texture throughout the meal. At times I was picking cartilage out while eating, which took away from the experience. Whether this is an oversight in preparation or part of the meat blend they are using, it points to a quality-control issue with how the ground meat is handled. The kitchen needs to do a better job trimming and preparing the meat before grinding and serving it. Aside from that, the service from the waiter was excellent, truly 5-star, but this issue kept me from rating the overall experience higher.

We got the Uzbek bread to share which was fluffy and salted well. For my main entree I got the beef kebab which was also yummy.

Also pictured is the manti , which is a beef dumpling, that my friend got and said was delicious. I will definitely be back to try the rest of their menu, especially the yummy looking soups!

The menu is a melange of Russian, Turkish, Uzbek, and generically Mediterranean offerings. To start, we had the Mediterranean-leaning "combo platter" with baba ghanoush, hummus, and tzatziki ($16) and the Russian-leaning herring with potatoes ($15; "tomato, cucumber, carrot, mushroom, cabbage, kimchi"). These were so-so. The baba ghanoush and hummus were both extremely smooth, almost whipped in consistency, almost unpleasantly salty. (We love salt and don't shy away from it at all -- but this was excessive.) I personally love a few chunks of eggplant in my baba ghanoush (like a beautiful Jordanian version I had earlier in the day from a stand in Aventura Mall) and a lot more tahini in my hummus, but of course these are stylistic differences / preferences. Tzatziki was very garlicky. The combo came with sliced cucumbers and a bit of pita -- but not anywhere near enough for our family. We did end up eating the surfeit of spreads with our main courses, so all ended well. Herring with potatoes was nothing like the menu description. Instead, it came with, yes, just pickled herring and roasted potatoes (and a huge, huge mound of thinly sliced raw onion, a few sprigs of parsley, a sprinkle of dill, a sliver of lemon). The baby potatoes were nicely roasted, but the pickled herring was quite mediocre, a touch mushy, and almost certainly not prepared in-house. The only distinctively Uzbek dish we tried was the Fried Lagman ($19; "stir-fried hand-pulled noodles in a mix of beef and vegetables, served with eggs"). I can't speak to its authenticity, but it was made with well-textured noodles topped by tender, well seasoned beef, bell peppers, grape tomatoes, and very thinly slivered omelette. The progeny who ordered it enjoyed it very much. Beef shawarma ($19; "cooked on a vertical grill, served in pita bread with tomato, cucumber, lettuce, yogurt sauce, and spices, with French fries on the side") was beautifully presented, a generous portion of thickly-sliced meat wrapped in a very thin layer of flatbread (lavash and not pita?) with a crisscross grill pattern. The Beef Kebab ($24; served with french fries and tomato sauce) was moist and tender, well seasoned. I think the slightly bland tomato sauce was meant for dipping, but the beef didn't need any accoutrements. Fries were fair, either undersalted or not salted at all. I wish we'd held on to the ketchup that had been served with the fries that came with the shawarma. The grilled branzino ($38) was nicely prepared, a medium-sized (about 1 lb) fish beautifully grilled and drizzled with reduced balsamic, served with salad, rice and a side of lemon. The skin was crisp, the fish fresh. Note that food is brought out as it's prepared and some mains may come more quickly than others. We didn't have a huge problem with this as our manners free family is under orders to eat food when it arrives, while it's hot, rather than to wait until everyone's food arrives. Also, we generously poach from one another's plates, and the last one to get her food hadn't been all that hungry for dinner to begin with. The eat-it-as-it-arrives policy turned out to be a good one since the lag time between arrival of the first main and arrival of the last was about 40 minutes. The first few to receive their meals would've had to eat their food stone cold. Sim Sim doesn't serve alcohol, but does have a beautiful tea service and hookah, and allows diners to BYOB without corkage. (All the Russian diners around us seem to have gone the BYOB route and ordered a hookah, which we also didn't see advertised in house.) It's in a strip mall as most restaurants are in this part of Florida, but has pleasant-enough outdoor and indoor seating areas. The outdoor seating is beach style. Think: white plastic chairs and tables. There was a single low wooden Uzbek style dining table on a platform outdoors and perhaps one indoors as well, IIRC. Our wait staff was very pleasant. One server gently pushed salad and Uzbek bread on us, which we declined, but sort of wish we hadn't after watching nearby diners who were probably of Uzbek descent. We're dining with vegetarians on our remaining days in the area, who wouldn't have enough protein options here, but do wish we had time for a return visit. Bookmarked for our next trip.

Instead of a regular shawarma with tomatoes, it was filled with random greens/leaves. At one point I genuinely felt like a goat eating a salad instead of shawarma. Overall, it simply wasn't tasty. On top of that, the employee seemed half asleep and managed to mix up absolutely everything, making our order the complete opposite of what we asked for. We waited around 40 minutes for our order even though there were only a couple of people sitting there drinking tea. We also had to remind the waitress about the check and our change, and in the end she told us she didn't have enough change -- so we never received the rest of our money back.

We came with the family during the first half of the day and had a wonderful experience. The restaurant specializes in Uzbek and Russian cuisine and is located in a beautiful spot by the lake. There is plenty of parking, and one of the highlights is the outdoor terrace overlooking the water. The view is peaceful and makes for a very relaxing meal. I also loved the entrance design. There's a large decorative mirror surrounded by flowers, and the restaurant's logo is reflected in it. It's a thoughtful detail that immediately creates a welcoming atmosphere and makes a great photo spot. The restaurant was clean, the staff was polite, and service was fast. Our food arrived surprisingly quickly. I ordered a cappuccino, two khachapuri, and accidentally ordered Kharcho soup when I actually meant to order Solyanka. Thankfully, the Kharcho turned out to be delicious, so no regrets! My husband ordered a steak, while the kids were happy with chicken nuggets and fries from the kids' menu. For dessert, I finally got to try the Pavlova that I had seen on their Instagram page, and it did not disappoint. I've also heard that they host live entertainment and performances on weekends, which makes me want to come back and experience the restaurant in the evening. Overall, we left very satisfied and had a lovely family lunch. Thank you, Aida, for welcoming us so warmly. This review is a little overdue, but the visit was memorable and definitely worth sharing.
