I am from Uzbekistan and am forever in search of a good Uzbek place. This one is one of the better ones. Really pleasant outside seating area on a balcony overlooking a thoroughfare but not right at ground level. Good service--prompt and polite. Excellent authentic nostalgic Central Asian food. We ordered a pitcher of kompot (boiled fruit drink), a large cold pickle plate (the garlicky peppers were AMAZING), hummus, lamb samsa, a cheesy hachapuri, and of course the amazing Uzbek bread (non, or lepyoshka). For our entrees we ordered 3 different kind of shish kebab and lamb manti, and everything was fantastic. We will be back!!!! read more

I ordered the khinkali, and while the flavor was good, the ground meat filling contained an excessive amount of cartilage. Finding hard, chewy pieces occasionally can happen, but it occurred often enough that it noticeably affected the texture throughout the meal. At times I was picking cartilage out while eating, which took away from the experience. Whether this is an oversight in preparation or part of the meat blend they are using, it points to a quality-control issue with how the ground meat is handled. The kitchen needs to do a better job trimming and preparing the meat before grinding and serving it. Aside from that, the service from the waiter was excellent, truly 5-star, but this issue kept me from rating the overall experience higher. read more

My husband and I ate here with friends quite a while ago. We've not had the chance to return. I came with a group for lunch and found the food to be delicious, the service very attentive, and the atmosphere a bit over the top. We started with an assortment of salads served with delicious, fresh baked bread. Next was the traditional pilaf or plov, rice with meat. The lunch was finished with servings of honey cake. It was all very delicious. read more

My friend found this place online and was excited for us to try. We were unsure if we were going to be able to get a table for 6 on a Saturday night but we were relieved to get seated right away. There are tables indoor and outdoor but since there was a beautiful fountain out front, we opted for that. We were further supported by our decision when we could hear the live and robust music inside. All-in-all, we love most of the dishes. Such as the dolma (stuffed grape leaves), olivier salad (potato salad), pilaf, pelmeni (dumplings), borscht (cabbage stew), fattoush salad (tomato salad) and chicken and beef shish kebab. Everything came either already saucy or with a side of sour cream for topping. Presentation was beautiful. There were a few other dishes we ordered towards the end that we weren't as big fans and I can't seem the remember the names so just stick with the ones above instead! Unfortunately, the lightning was dark so I was unable to get some pictures. Dishes are on the smaller side so anticipate to order a lot of dishes if with a party of 6 or more. Service was quick and efficient. Bathrooms were clean and spacious. Would love to come again and save some space for dessert! read more

Chayhana Oasis is a quaint Uzbek spot. Nicely decorated. Friendly service. Tonight they had a birthday and anniversary, which brought people to the small dance floor in the back. The food was really good! Home made bread was a winner. Loved the lamb and pumpkin dumplings. The grape leaves were not my favorite, but they weren't bad. I'm just a little picky with those typically. I also enjoyed the fresh pumpkin filled samsa pastry! Topped it all off with a large (shareable) fresh mint tea. I missed their rooftop parking entrance and paid in a local lot across the street. I'd return and recommend! read more

Food here is top of its class and the vibes are pretty authentic to the area. I've become a big fan of Uzbek food and this place was tantalizing to the palate. I went with 3 of my peeps and being that they already knew what was bangin' on the menu, I went with their choices and got the traditional beef kofta for myself. Service was at its best, having the waiters stopping by our table frequently. Although they got quite busy, we were still attentive. Yes we had to wave our hands sometimes because they were attending to the new patrons flowing in, but they still delivered excellent service. If you love meaty goodness, authentic dishes, with some live singing , then bring your bros, besties, mistresses, lovers, significant others and spouses here for a damn great time. I'm definitely coming back here with the boyz. read more

Well everyone speaks Russian here which was nice! The decor is absolutely stunning and eclectic. My family decided to order wayyyy too much and we were not disappointed. The staff are very friendly and there is a parking deck right next to the restaurant that I think they valet. Cheberuk was my favorite with the crispy outside and perfectly cooked inside. My husband got the langman soup- he stated it was the best soup he's ever had. Kabobs were lamb with this sweeter sauce and were just as good as my dad's homemade ones. read more

From the moment we walked in, we were struck by the warm, welcoming atmosphere of the restaurant. The staff greeted us with genuine smiles and provided impeccable service throughout the meal. The ambiance was perfect--elegant yet cozy. They were very busy and still accommodated us with no reservation. As for the food, it was nothing short of extraordinary. Each dish was a work of art, beautifully plated and bursting with flavor. Highly recommend coming here and supporting this business in Miami! read more

I LOVE Chayhana Oasis. There will be much praise coming in the text that follows. But first let's get some basic facts out of the way. * * * Russian food is amazing. Russian restaurants however were gutted after the invasion of the Ukraine. In Austin, one of our most popular places was Russian House - a place with legendary cooking, over one hundred homemade infused vodkas, a venue where one could hear Slavic and Middle Eastern artists, and a large loyal crowd. All this evaporated after the Ukraine invasion. The place went bankrupt. Since then, Russian entrepreneurs have had to be very very very careful about marketing. Selling oneself as Uzbek has been one successful strategy. Much of classical Russian cuisine has in fact been Uzbek. For all I know, the entrepreneurs really are Uzbek. But the menu here is full service Russian With a complete lineup of both the Uzbek classics and the non-Uzbek classics. Execution is MAGNIFICENT. * * * The menu here is huge. I can't do justice in one review to all of the wonderful options. I will just make a few comments to give a sense of the flavor of the place. Uzbek cooking itself is characterized by all sorts of dumplings. Dumplings feature prominently on the Chayhana menu. European Dumplings tend to be "won't thrill you, won't kill you". They are rarely bad. They are rarely extraordinary. I have done a lot of Eastern European eating and had more than my fair share of dumplings. If you have European dumplings anywhere, you want to have them at Chayhana Oasis. We had their Chuchvara. These are addictive tiny balls of pleasure. Or more accurately deep fried mini dumplings served with a garlic sauce. Neither my mother nor myself could keep our hands off of them. This was total and complete dumpling pleasure. Soups are also strong at Chayhana. My mother had Lagman is a simple beef noodle soup. You would think what is the deal with a beef noodle soup? My mother went nuts again. And she was right to. Keep in mind she has made plenty of beef soup in her lifetime. So this was an expert's vote of approval. I had a cold meat platter of three ho hum meats and one basturma. The basturma made me totally forget about the other three items on the platter. Because the meat platter was positively huge ... I could have totally filled up on the basturma alone. Basturma is the Armenian answer to pastrami - in the sense that it is a cured spiced meat. But the similarity to pastrami disappears after that. I can't describe basturma any better than that. You will simply have to go to Chayhana Oasis and try it yourself. It is totally totally worth doing. However, none of these were the star of the show. The star of the show was .................. (Dramatic Drum Roll) THE BLINTZES. * * * I am of Jewish ethnicity, and I have had a lot of blintzes over the years. This includes the famous blintzes at Ratner's in New York. Back in the day, the blintzes at Ratner's were considered to be the definitive version of the dish. Ratner's blintzes really were as good as advertised. Chayhana Oasis's blintzes are BETTER, better by a lot. Part of their secret is a mushroom onion filling. The mushroom onion filling is to die for. They do make two other fillings and those might be good too. The crepe part itself is particularly remarkable. I put sour cream on top, but I really didn't need to. I will be remembering those blintzes for a long time. * * * Russian restaurants have great desserts ... And they had Napoleon Cake on the menu. I kill for Napoleon Cake. But after those blintzes and that bastrama and not being able to keep my hands out of my dining mate's chuvara, I couldn't fit a molecule more of food in my stomach. This was a huge and tragic loss. * * * That said if you are a visitor to Miami, Going for Cuban can be really nice. I personally, am a huge fan of Havana Harry's. But if I had one and only one meal to eat in Miami, I would go to Chayhana Oasis. From this Yelper - That should tell you a lot. read more

The food was AMAZING! So flavorful and well presented. Highly recommend the kabobs. Our waitress was extremely friendly and gave us a heads up on certain entrees that might take 20-40 minutes to prepare and cook. Food definitely worth the price and wait. The restaurant is great place to dress up and go for date night. I'm not from the area but definitely come back when I come back to Miami. read more

Love the place!! Our waiter, Dina, was amazing!! Food was great and delicious!! Loved it!!

What a discovery! Chayhana Oasis completely amazed me. The food was highly flavorful and genuinely felt authentic. We tried the lamb plov (so tender!), the khachapuri (cheesy perfection, and no, it's not pizza!), the blintzes (crispy and creamy) and the pilaf. Each dish was served on stunning patterned plates that added to the experience. A big shoutout to Ruslan the Ukrainian; his service was outstanding, and he elevated the entire meal with his friendly demeanor and fantastic recommendations. The decor is colorful and transportive, like dining in a Silk Road palace. If you're looking for something unique and tasty in Miami, check out this place! read more

This spot is delicious and a great local spot. It was surprisingly packed at 6:30 for dinner but we were able to get seated in less than 5 minutes indoors without a reservation. The service was ok, it took a bit to get our order in but to be fair it was Easter and very very busy. The ambiance is very eclectic and showcases the culture well. The food is also pretty good, nothing out of this world but for a quick casual meal in sunny isles it is delicious. We got the chicken and beef kabobs with the roasted potatoes and mushrooms. For our appetizer we got the pickled vegetables which are actually such a great portion and very tasty! It comes with tomatoes, pickles, and cabbage. We also tried the pumpkin samsa and beef samsa. Personally, we wouldn't get the beef again but the pumpkin was so flavorful. read more

OH. MY. F********!!!!!!!!!!!!!! COME HERE ASAP IF YOURE IN THE FORT LAUDERDALE AREA!!!!!!!! First and CERTAINLY not last time having Uzbek food. Holy wow. Service was so professional and attentive. The restaurant is huge with super pretty outdoor seating next to a fountain!!!! Wow everything about presentation and experience here was 10/10. The tables outside are just beautifully painted. I wouldn't have changed a thing about the experience. Food: oh wow. The bread is $10, comes warm and is absolutely soft and has a slight crust to it -- AMAZING! The soup was recommended and honestly maybe was the best thing of this meal. Flavorful, meaty, herby, UGH YES. and the samsa????? Wow so juicy and flaky and just the most flavorful and perfectly made thing. The skewers were also absolutely insane. The rice and quail egg dish missed a little for me as it is sweet and not that salty, and it has some sort of raisins in it. But everything else was just amazing. The water is even fancy. Gosh we're coming here the next time we're in Florida. 100%. Do yourself a favor and make yourself a reservation here, and prepare to have your socks BLOWN OFF. WOW!!!!!!!!! read more

My visit was nothing short of excellent. I was on the quest to look for a Russian/Central Asian venue and thought I would fall short on the Central Asian part, but low and behold, I was able to The cuisine was delicious and quite varied. Their bread is amazing, the borscht is great, and the plov is a must-have. Their selection of kabobs and meats as well as other seafood and vegetable options is quite good. The service was also quite good. The servers were attentive and pleasant the times I have gone. I never lacked water, so I was happy. The area is really nice and the beach is right across the street so it's a very walkable area that has a very upscale vibe. I'm thrilled and will return soon. read more

Service was acceptable but did not understand why waiter tried to speak in Ukrainian and it will make more sense to have native people who has more knowledge about Uzbek food. Food overpriced nothing special. I guess that's what Miami able offer. Lastly they had 18% service charge on the check, when I have asked waiter if this a tip. He said 18 percent service charge goes to staff, employees and chefs. Seems to be owner is too cheap to pay his employees from total gross. read more

The ambiance is great, they do have live music at night. They have outdoor and indoor seating and the decor inside is really nice. This was my first time trying Uzbek food and definitely not the last! From the appetizers I would say my favorite was the khachapuri. And from the main dishes the chicken shish kabob was delicious!!! But overall, everything was so tasty and the customer service was great! I would recommend getting a reservation because the place does get packed read more

Came with a group on a weekday night and was excited to try an Uzbek restaurant for the first time. Glad that we could rely on the staff for their recommendations. We ended up ordering several dishes to share. Khachapuri: my gosh if you love carbs and cheese, order this appetizer! The menu has a pretty small version (probably for 1-2 people), so if you're in a larger group, you can ask for the larger version that's not printed on the menu. Also, my friends and I didn't know how to eat it properly, so I'm glad someone came by and explained that we were supposed to break off pieces of bread with your hands and then use the bread to mix the cheese. I'm a personal fan of anything with warm bread and hot gooey cheese--you'll definitely get those satisfying cheese pulls with this. 5/5 Hanum (soft wrap filled with diced potatoes, carrots; and onions): good in spices, I'm just not as much of a fan of the rice paper-thin soft exterior. 3.5/5 Pilaf: well-seasoned rice with savory chunks of meat and sweet dried fruit. 4.5/5 Manti with lamb: steamed dumplings--loved the soup inside, lamb flavor, and the thick doughy outer skin. 4.5/5 Lamb shish kabob: Good in flavor and cooked well. 4.5/5 Mevodik: honey cake. Of all the desserts, this was recommended by staff since it's made in-house from scratch. I liked that it wasn't too sweet and pretty light. 4/5 Finding the parking garage was difficult (you have to drive closer to the end of the plaza). I wish I had read the other Yelp reviews earlier about free parking and the possibility of getting parking validated, because I ended up paying for parking (~$3 an hour). Service is slow, but I really appreciate that staff was honest with their recommendations. The food was a tasty new experience for me and I'm glad I could try it. Just keep in mind that the cost of each dish is pretty pricey, so this place is definitely best suited for family style sharing (especially if you're like me and you want to try everything). read more

Best Uzbek food in town. Truly amazing authentic dishes, kebabs and such. Beautiful decor / ambiance. Great service. The only thing I didn't love is entertainment/ musicians on Friday / Saturday nights are quite old school and too involved with regular customers (chatting away) while ignoring new visitors. They also did more talking than singing. I'd say that entertainment here is definitely for older folks. Wish they geared towards younger crowd at least somewhat too. read more

Delicious, filling comfort food and fancy decor at Chayhana Oasis. Came here for late lunch on a weekday with friends and it was quiet. That's because most people probably come here for the night time festivities where there is live music and some dancing. These dishes were all very tasty: -adjaruli Khachapuri - indulgent cheese, egg and bread -beef and Lamb samsa - Lamb was my favorite, very tender but beef was very beefy -Lamb kebab - just really good and tender lamb flavors -Lamb pilaf - aromatic, slightly sweet from sautéed onions and very hearty/buttery -lepeshka - basically it's bread but freshly made and tastier than most stale free bread -eggplant Oasis salad - much needed freshness and brightness from the heaviness of other dishes. -medovik - not to sweet honey layered dessert -mazurka - not to sweet dessert, worth trying once -bitter tea - didn't catch the name. Helps with digesting the heavy meal Just okay: -Chuchvara - didn't have as much flavor. The dipping sauce was good. -gnezdo (meringue) Next time will order the manty - steamed dumplings. Parking seems non existent but is two "blocks" down from the restaurant.  If you drive slowly once passing the restaurant on the right, you should see signs for parking on the right. Bring your ticket to the restaurant and they will validate for you. Staff was pretty good. Overall great experience for first time having Uzbekistan food. read more

It's personal. With my heaviest heart:) I am finally ready not to come here again. We used to book our family vacations around Sunny Isle to go to Chayhana (from DC). I have annual family photos for at least 7+ years here. While the service is still excellent, the food is UNRECOGNIZABLE. It started getting worse gradually, but we loved the atmosphere. This time I am concerned that I am getting food poisoning from soggy tomatoes and tasteless vitamin salad. It was so unfresh. Mantu was microwaved and had zero juice, the plov was just wrong, and finally, they managed to kill Gnezdo! It's an all-time favorite. We have a mix of Middle Eastern and Russian family members. The food was unacceptable for everyone. I am leaving a one-star review as a very Red flag to management because I don't want that place to go downhill so badly. Please get back to your normal! Until then, we are out. read more
