I went today in to this Old Bukhara restaurant, for me it was a surprise to see an Uzbek cuisine…read more I'm from Uzbekistan and I was honestly interested to try the food. Oh my the taste of the food is one to one just like from old times. Try the Samsa it's freshly cooked and crispy comes with sauces which adds flavors. One of my main dish was Plov and let me tell you it was rich in flavor and it was delicious. Service was good our server was Farukh and thank you a lot for your advices as well. The atmosphere and decorations are very detailed, very good interiors. Guys don't fall for the look of small restaurants it's like a hidden gem. Try it!!!

I was in the area visiting a friend, and we decided to try Old Bukhara for lunch. It ended up being…read morea fantastic meal. We ordered a pumpkin samsa, an order of beef manti (5 pieces), and the Samarkand plov. The pumpkin samsa was delicate and flaky, with a filling that struck a nice balance of pumpkin and seasonings. The beef manti were exceptional. The dumpling skin was super thin yet held the flavorful broth and tender meat inside. The Samarkand plov came with a generous amount of meat--a mix of beef, lamb, sausage, and two quail eggs. All of the meat was tender and not fatty. If I had to nitpick, I would say there could have been a bit more rice for balance, but at $23 it's hard to complain considering how much meat they give. The restaurant is pretty small but has a warm, inviting ambiance, decorated heavily with traditional Uzbek metalwork and textiles. For two people half of the food was enough to feel full, and we ate the rest for dinner. Altogether the meal came to a little over $50, a great price for the portions and quality. I'm from Queens and Old Bukhara easily stands alongside the best Uzbek spots in Rego Park and southern Brooklyn.

Everything was served over their qabuli rice with a few sauces and a fresh cucumber salad on the side. The green sauce especially added a nice kick. Overall, great flavor and very generous portions -- easily enough for two meals. Would definitely order this again.

I had high hopes for this restaurant but the experience as a whole was nearing disaster point…read more Perhaps the place is new and needs to fine tune timing orders so everything comes out at once and train their waitresses to accurately take orders? Pros: the interior is beautiful and our waitress was gracious and tried hard. Negative: the waitress took the orders down incorrectly. One person got chicken when she ordered lamb. Waitress called the shwarma platter the sandwich so I started eating someone else's dish! Not everyone ate at the same time bc the dishes came out staggered. I ordered a sofa but never received a glass. I requested a side of veggies and got it but the other person who ordered a shwarma platter got the side also and it's not included. The food was bland and not restaurant quality. There's plenty of parking. We were a group of 12 and that is hard to accommodate sometimes but we were the only people in the restaurant. Also, getting the orders correct on the plate is necessary. The staff were nice and it was clear they were trying but were out of their element.

We couldn't stop eating it and I don't even like yogurt! The tabbouleh accompanied the platter with fresh pita bread and crisp lettuce leaves. I had hoped, though, that the tabbouleh would be minced a lot finer than it was. But still, it's flavors were delicious. Two of us also shared the baked kibbeh Platter, which was a generous portion of kibbeh surrounded by a lovely array of romaine salad with cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions dressed in a fresh lemon/garlic dressing which brought me back to the wonderful Lebanese food I enjoyed by some of the very best cooks in my younger years. And the French fries were great too, and a generous portion of garnished hummus was also on the plate. The kibbeh, however, was disappointingly dry and the lower layer hard. I know the luscious texture of freshly baked kibbeh, and for me this missed the mark. There was a mujaddara entree on the menu, but not available today so I will definitely be going back for that. They'll also make kibbeh nayyeh fresh with 24 hours notice! And next time I'm there I'll leave my number to be alerted on those special occasions when they may have molokhia, another favorite of mine, but kind of rare to find anymore. I would love for this wonderful bistro to succeed, and there is no doubt that I will be a regular customer. Our server, Talia, was so very nice. I had a party of 10 which wasn't easy to handle! Thank you!

We started with the baba ganoush, which was creamy, smoky, and came with this HUGE warm, freshly baked bread covered in sesame and nigella seeds. The bread alone was worth it.

The plates were loaded with rice, salad, grilled vegetables and pickled cabbage and the portions were very generous. You definitely won't leave hungry. Service was friendly and attentive without feeling rushed. Between the food, portions and service, I really couldn't complain about anything. We left full and happy and would absolutely come back. Easy 5 stars for me.

The menu is perfect for sharing family-style, and we especially loved the complimentary puffy bread (which is even better with an order of one of their dips!). Our group shared a few appetizers along with the Sultan Plate (large meat platter for 4-6 people), which comes with a dramatic flame presentation and a generous assortment of meats. Everything was flavorful and we all enjoyed trying the different varieties. The adana kebab was one of my personal favorites. We were also pleasantly surprised by how spacious the restaurant is. There are two beautiful private dining rooms near the front that'd be perfect for a party. In general, highly recommend dining here with a group!

Let's get the elephant out of the room first…read more Ambience: Non-existent. Interior looks bare. It has a few seating. This is not a spot for a romantic date. We got takeout and were very satisfied. Food: I've had Egyptian before in NYC and I liked this much more. Here's what we ordered: Dolmas (stuffed grapeleaves). They were served hot. Never had them hot and I was surprised by how much I liked them. The stuffing was soft inside with a hint of sourness. Completely different from the typical cold pickled versions we had. I usually have 2-3 pieces but this time we ate the whole pound of it. Stuffed Cornish hen. This order takes a while, so order ahead. At first, we were not impressed by the meat. Not bad, very moist and meat fell off the bone. But, then we ate it with the stuffed rice. Rich umami. All the flavor went into the rice. Very rich flavor and together it was delicious. I would add hot sauce to the mix. Chicken kabob. All breast meat. Decent portion. It was not dry and very well spiced. My in-laws loved it. I'm not a fan of white meat but recognize that it was done well. Stuffed eggplant. Indian eggplant. Also hot version. Firm exterior, soft interior. Cuts through really well to share. Definitely like it more than the cold appetizer i've had elsewhere. More on the milder side so other dishes tasted better. Biftek (fried breaded thin steak). Fried very well. Didn't get soggy in the container so the kitchen knew to let it cool and stay crispy. Nothing bad but also not special. Many different cuisine does the same thing. Needs a dip. I would order it again and I imagine kids with a tunnel vision palate would like it too because it's like chicken nugget and french fries to them. Meat shawarma. This was disappointing. It's not bad but boring compared to all the other dishes. It's pretty much meat over rice but since I come from the city, it doesn't stack up against the lamb/chicken over rice from halal carts. It was a little dry and came with tahini (hummus based). Pretty sure this version is more authentic but I'm biased to the lamb over rice covered in white sauce. If you never had Egyptian before, it's in between Mediterranean and Middle Eastern because it is both but at the same time different enough to be its own category. There's a Greek restaurant in the same plaza and I would say the fare is completely different although their dishes overlap in the menu. They are not comparable. Verdict: We ordered more food the very next day. Until we try other restaurants in the area, this is currently my favorite Egyptian restaurant.

I've had problems ordering here in the past due to language differences, ordering through doordash or one of those outfits made it very easy to schedule a pickup. We tried the baba ganoush this time, koshari with fried liver, stuffed green peppers, and little rice and meat sausages. Prices are super reasonable- too- Everything was excellent, not a complaint at all! And that's rare for me. Oh yeah a complaint, allow a lot of time clarify with the restaurant exactly how much time it will take because everything is made to order and it is not a 15 or 20 minute deal. But well worth it.
