Not authentic at all. -- What they call Turkish rice can't even be called decent rice -- Persian menu items however were good -- Lentil soup was a good soup but it was not an authentic lentil soup at all. Don't expect the traditional flavor -- Unlike the pics, salad mix in your Adana will arrive in a tiny, disposable clear plastic -- You will eat at tables covered with sticky, clear nylon table "cloths" -- Your water will be served in disposable plastic cups -- Your food will be served in acrylic-plastic cups, including the hot soup -- Now the value: Soup is $10, Adana is $22, Kobideh is $25, a cup of Cay / hot tea is $3.50 (almost all Persian/Turkish restaurants serve this as a complimentary item -- Lastly they will charge you an extra 3% for paying by card Decision is yours...

It is unassuming from the outside and seems tiny when you enter, but don't let that fool you! First, they have an entire extra room of seating in a space next door (that seems to have been recently remodeled). The menu has a nice variety of options listing hot and cold appetizers, main entrees, sides and desserts. They specialize in Uzbek Cuisine which is quite different in some areas, but also similar to other cuisines with certain dishes. There are a variety of dumpling entrees and also fried dough/fried pocket items. One of the favorites among my family is the fried pelmeni which are small, beef filled dried delights. Perfectly fried, bite sized and packed with flavor. They are served with sour cream and a sweet chili sauce, but you don't really need any dipping sauce because they are so good on their own. Another appetizer we love is the cheburek, a beef filled fried pastry similar to something like an empanada. For entrees, I've had the Uzbek plov several times. Rice with carrots raisins and lamb. The lamb is tender and perfectly seasoned. It is one of those dishes that I am stuffed but can't stop eating because it is so delicious. The pelmeni soup is another highlight. Perfect for a cold day or to give you an ultimate comfort food meal. Service is usually pretty attentive (although if you end up in the extra room it will be on the slower side but still good). There is street parking right in front of the restaurant, but if there isn't space, there is also a municipal lot about a block away. The one down side is that if they are busy, it can take quite awhile to get food. But the wait is worth it! If you are looking to try something new and different, give this place a try. You won't be disappointed!

We started with the beef, chicken and pumpkin samsas, Uzbek Plov and Juvava. The Uzbek Plov is a rice dish with lamb, carrots, raisins, and chickpeas. It is served with bread and a tomato salad. The bread reminded us of a pretzel. The Juvava is beef dumplings in a soup with vegetables. Delicious! We also tried the raspberry mint tea. The staff is very friendly. The restaurant design is bright and inviting. They do not serve alcohol. Located conveniently next to a parking garage

Although not Ukrainian, this restaurant has very similar flavors. The inside was incredibly charming and very cozy. The restaurant is inside of a small house. We were taken into a side room that did not have any windows, but was uniquely decorated. We shared the fruit compote drink, which was very good. We also had a Kachapuri bread with mashed potatoes and cheese and their signature dish which was meat and rice. Everything was very good in the service was great. I believe that the food was likely Halal, although I can't be for certain. They did observe the Muslim call to prayer while we were there and offered prayer mat to guests who wanted to pray. We felt very welcome here and I would recommend this restaurant to others.

I wouldn't say anything in particular was the best ever, but everything was really good, which in itself is just awesome. The paneer tikka was good. Nice a flavorful. The palak chaat was fine - I'd say it was mostly just palak pakoras and didn't really have much of a flavors of a chaat. Proabably this was the only somewhat disappointing item. The paneer lababdar was really good. Asparagus kofta was probably the even better, and then the dal makhani was also good. We ordered naan in a couple of batches and enjoyed it most when they brought it out really fresh out of the tandoor. The bullet naan was really good. Garlic naan was good too. Really nice people and thoroughly enjoyed this Mother's Day feast.

Now that I'm not anywhere near the restaurant anymore, sometimes I get a craving for this place and my heart breaks a bit on the inside knowing I don't have easy access to it anymore.

During my visit with a few companions, our main issue was the wait time: a collection of reheated falafel balls, premade salad, and hummus -- all of it uninspired -- took about 20 mins. to arrive. Moreover, the service was downright lazy. Not only do you have to order from an electronic, self-serve kiosk; and not only will the servers (if there are any) not bring your food to your table; but you even have to maneuver BEHIND THE SERVICE COUNTER to get a drink, should you choose to buy one, from the refrigerator! They cannot even be bothered to hand a pop to you! It all raises the question: what are the employees here being paid to do, exactly? Let me tell you: they are certainly not brainstorming ways to improve this business!

Overall, food is generally pretty tasty. But the last two times I ordered, meat and rice were both dried out and I was missing something with both orders.

In all of the years they have been in business (family owned since 1972), the quality and service has never waivered. I am an absolute nutter for Mediterranean food, specifically Syrian. The food is 100% legit, authentic. Made with love, care, & pride. My goodness that tabooli is INCREDIBLE! All fresh ingredients, all the time. Just the right amount of lemon so it doesn't overpower the rest of the flavors. The spinach & lentil soup reminds me of an old boyfriend's Sitty's kitchen. Her soup was the best and the stuff you get at Ali Baba is nearly identical. Kebab dinner platters and grape leaves are fantastic.
