Chaikhana Sem Sorok

Nice joint for sampling Uzbek cuisine which is kosher. Traditional shoeless seating in tent out front. Bathroom narrow but functional. Delicious plof. Natives dine here, which means that it is authentic, and that they have made a long trip just to live as they were living in Uzbekistan.

Was excited to try this place however the food was bland and not worth the money. Ordered chicken rice which lacked any seasoning or flavor and a bit on the oily side. The meat samsas were just ok but nothing I would crave and order again. The lamb soup was also bland and could use some salt. AND the lady working there couldn’t stop coughing and DID NOT cover her mouth like seriously! Handling food at least wear a mask! Overall underwhelming and won’t come back.

This place serves great Uzbek food, fresh Samsa made the traditional way, good tea and kebab ( shashlik ). I wish they cleaned the outdoor sitting, and vacuumed the seats. I love sitting there but it’s so filthy, so many crumbs, so many stains. And the waitress (their only one) seems a bit rude and rushed. Come for the food ! Not dine in maybe
