The sandwiches are so so, many overwhelmed by bread. The chicken parm that I've had there for example, the chicken is over fried with dried out edges. And there is never enough.

The employees don't always use clean gloves behind the counter while preparing orders and I've seen some touch their faces.

Balance means just the right amount of juiciness (fat), garlic (lite), seasoning (pepper), and salt. The competition was just OK. Years ago I put together a contest representing 5 othe sausage makers among 5 fellow dart players at the Eagles in Chagrin and R&D was voted number 1, first place. The only way to eat these delicious morsels is with a dab of FRESH horseradish. BTW don"t over cook and never boil, just simmer for 20 minutes. Who would have thought, and from a Croatian sausage maker too! Joe Mersnik

The best part, you get great food without the restaurant prices. I'm just so glad I finally found this place. Everyone here is super friendly and helpful. They took great care and time to explain the food to us since I have no experience with Uzbek food. The Beef Lulya (very similar to Kafka) was simply amazing; it was juicy, tender, and flavored to perfection. The Uzbek non was so good; chewy and soft. We got lucky we got one when it was still hot fresh out of the oven, ate some of it in the car, couldn't wait. I'm going back tomorrow to try some of the other selections. Went back the following day to try the Samarkand Plov, Chicken Lulya Kebab, Eggplant Salad and Lamb Samsa. All were absolutely delicious. The kebabs are extraordinary; juicy tender and grilled to perfection. The Samarkand Plov is full of flavor but a bit oily for me. Eggplant Salad was super. I will definitely be visiting this place regularly.

This grocery store has products from Uzbekistan, Russia, Ukraine, and other neighboring countries. My Uzbek Uber driver told me about this store and I have been a loyal customer ever since. Their prepared foods are the highlight of the entire store. You'll find Uzbek and Russian delicacies like plov (pilaf), various meet pastries, salads such as olivie and vinegret, meats, holodets (meat jello), Napoleon and sour cream cakes, baklava, manti, sauerkraut, pickled things, and other delicacies. The quality of this food far surpasses any local restaurants and any other Uzbek restaurants I have tried in the US. I always get plov (pilaf), and a little bit of everything to try. Plov has huge chunks of meat and is very tasty! During my multiple visits I've observed almost all customers get some food to go. This food is sold by weight. I heard many people in the community talk very highly of this place and their food selection. The store has a deli and butcher/meat section with very good looking meat. The employees are very helpful and provide recommendations. There's also fish available in a refrigerated section. Throughout the store you'll find everything that your dining table may need - spices, nuts, pelmeni (dumplings), cheese, tea, sweets, savory snacks, canned goods, pans for cooking manti, rugs, and more. They even have Dubai chocolate! The store is fairly small but very clean and packed with treasures. You can tell that the owners put their hearts into this establishment. The service is very friendly. Even the customers frequently socialize amongst themselves. The service is trilingual - Uzbek, Russian, and English. Feel free to order food or meats in any of the languages. The store has a small parking where you parallel park and some parking in the back. I would very highly recommend a visit especially focused on grabbing prepared foods. Plan to spend some time here because there are a lot to check out!

The meat had the taste of soap to it. We stopped eating them and ended up having potatoes and salad for our special meal. I took the meat back to the store and asked for the manager. The young man was nice but could not get the manager to come out and talk to me. He said she would give me a store credit and that was what he did. I spent time preparing the meat, driving back to the store and waiting. No compensation for our ruined meal either. Will not be going there again.
