"I decided to bring my friend to this lovely place tonight because I've wanted to try it for a while. I'm so glad we came! It's tucked into a strip mall with places like Papa Johns, but don't let that fool you. It's a nice place to have a meal. The employees were all very kind and attentive. The server we had was excellent. The food was delicious and plentiful and very interesting (okay, I've never had the cuisine of Uzbekistan, okay? . They brought out some pita with this thick yogurt type dip to start, and it was delicious. The pita was perfectly toasted. We started with the appetizer sampler and the pickle sampler. It seemed like a good place to start! All 3 of the dips were great and came with the same perfectly crisp pita. The pickle plate was a wonderful very fresh variety of pickled vegetables. We ordered some Uzbeki bread to share. It was like a bagel exterior and a more fluffy, soft interior. I had the Gampan as my meal, and she ordered the Shrimp Jiz-Biz. Both were great, though for different reasons. The shrimp dish was more spicy (without being too hot and the Gampan was more spiced. We also ordered the kunefe to try as dessert, which was so deliciously both crispy and creamy. Not overly sweet but definitely sweet enough. My receipt is pictured here, so you'll see that the price is very good, especially considering how many leftovers I brought home plus how full I am. You should definitely try them out!"
