    pilaf or plov
    Annette F.

    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.

    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!

    This is our BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS official restaurant. My word, anything you order from the menu, is a win win!! Delicious, I think they say you get a Michelin star when you keep coming back to the restaurant and it never changes in flavor, that's the way it is I'm Chayhana! We know we are in for a treat every time we go because we're not worried if it won't be up-to par this time, it's always delicious and fun since we get live music and dancing. The waiters are there at your beckoned call and are always attentive to the smallest detail, change plates/silverware/water filled/clean or clear empty platters I can't say enough for how it feels so perfect to dine without feeling like something is lacking/failing.

    First food stop for every traveling Eastern European person to Miami is Oasis. Food has been amazing each visit, service - outstanding! This time I brought my parents with me - and they were amazed. True Uzbek experience every time

    Russian salad

    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!

    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!!!!

    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.

    Pilaf

    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!

    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.

    beef and chicken kebab
    Gabrielle K.

    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.

    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!

    Five stars! Beautiful decor, nicely balanced to welcome both formal and casual dining. Seems they do a fair bit of takeout, too. Waiter was helpful in guiding us through the menu, which did not disappoint. Our favorites were the Adjaruli Khachapuri, Lepeshka, and Achichuk salad. We hope to be back!

    Do you make chak chak dessert (cak cak)?

    Is there happy hour or bottle specials?

    I don't believe they have happy hour!! Reservations required and about bottle special , I did not see anything like that on the menu but always nice to ask no charge for… 

    Really interested ?can I get chicken pilov ? Not a fan of lamb.

    I am sorry, we only cook pilaf with lamb.

    Is this restaurant halal?

    I believe it is, I didn't see any pork or bacon on menu so I do think they are religious.

    Is this place halal?

    We use halal meat ( lamb and chicken for kebabs).

We came with the family during the first half of the day and had a wonderful experience. The restaurant specializes in Uzbek and Russian cuisine and is located in a beautiful spot by the lake. There is plenty of parking, and one of the highlights is the outdoor terrace overlooking the water. The view is peaceful and makes for a very relaxing meal. I also loved the entrance design. There's a large decorative mirror surrounded by flowers, and the restaurant's logo is reflected in it. It's a thoughtful detail that immediately creates a welcoming atmosphere and makes a great photo spot. The restaurant was clean, the staff was polite, and service was fast. Our food arrived surprisingly quickly. I ordered a cappuccino, two khachapuri, and accidentally ordered Kharcho soup when I actually meant to order Solyanka. Thankfully, the Kharcho turned out to be delicious, so no regrets! My husband ordered a steak, while the kids were happy with chicken nuggets and fries from the kids' menu. For dessert, I finally got to try the Pavlova that I had seen on their Instagram page, and it did not disappoint. I've also heard that they host live entertainment and performances on weekends, which makes me want to come back and experience the restaurant in the evening. Overall, we left very satisfied and had a lovely family lunch. Thank you, Aida, for welcoming us so warmly. This review is a little overdue, but the visit was memorable and definitely worth sharing.

The menu is a melange of Russian, Turkish, Uzbek, and generically Mediterranean offerings. To start, we had the Mediterranean-leaning "combo platter" with baba ghanoush, hummus, and tzatziki ($16) and the Russian-leaning herring with potatoes ($15; "tomato, cucumber, carrot, mushroom, cabbage, kimchi"). These were so-so. The baba ghanoush and hummus were both extremely smooth, almost whipped in consistency, almost unpleasantly salty. (We love salt and don't shy away from it at all -- but this was excessive.) I personally love a few chunks of eggplant in my baba ghanoush (like a beautiful Jordanian version I had earlier in the day from a stand in Aventura Mall) and a lot more tahini in my hummus, but of course these are stylistic differences / preferences. Tzatziki was very garlicky. The combo came with sliced cucumbers and a bit of pita -- but not anywhere near enough for our family. We did end up eating the surfeit of spreads with our main courses, so all ended well. Herring with potatoes was nothing like the menu description. Instead, it came with, yes, just pickled herring and roasted potatoes (and a huge, huge mound of thinly sliced raw onion, a few sprigs of parsley, a sprinkle of dill, a sliver of lemon). The baby potatoes were nicely roasted, but the pickled herring was quite mediocre, a touch mushy, and almost certainly not prepared in-house. The only distinctively Uzbek dish we tried was the Fried Lagman ($19; "stir-fried hand-pulled noodles in a mix of beef and vegetables, served with eggs"). I can't speak to its authenticity, but it was made with well-textured noodles topped by tender, well seasoned beef, bell peppers, grape tomatoes, and very thinly slivered omelette. The progeny who ordered it enjoyed it very much. Beef shawarma ($19; "cooked on a vertical grill, served in pita bread with tomato, cucumber, lettuce, yogurt sauce, and spices, with French fries on the side") was beautifully presented, a generous portion of thickly-sliced meat wrapped in a very thin layer of flatbread (lavash and not pita?) with a crisscross grill pattern. The Beef Kebab ($24; served with french fries and tomato sauce) was moist and tender, well seasoned. I think the slightly bland tomato sauce was meant for dipping, but the beef didn't need any accoutrements. Fries were fair, either undersalted or not salted at all. I wish we'd held on to the ketchup that had been served with the fries that came with the shawarma. The grilled branzino ($38) was nicely prepared, a medium-sized (about 1 lb) fish beautifully grilled and drizzled with reduced balsamic, served with salad, rice and a side of lemon. The skin was crisp, the fish fresh. Note that food is brought out as it's prepared and some mains may come more quickly than others. We didn't have a huge problem with this as our manners free family is under orders to eat food when it arrives, while it's hot, rather than to wait until everyone's food arrives. Also, we generously poach from one another's plates, and the last one to get her food hadn't been all that hungry for dinner to begin with. The eat-it-as-it-arrives policy turned out to be a good one since the lag time between arrival of the first main and arrival of the last was about 40 minutes. The first few to receive their meals would've had to eat their food stone cold. Sim Sim doesn't serve alcohol, but does have a beautiful tea service and hookah, and allows diners to BYOB without corkage. (All the Russian diners around us seem to have gone the BYOB route and ordered a hookah, which we also didn't see advertised in house.) It's in a strip mall as most restaurants are in this part of Florida, but has pleasant-enough outdoor and indoor seating areas. The outdoor seating is beach style. Think: white plastic chairs and tables. There was a single low wooden Uzbek style dining table on a platform outdoors and perhaps one indoors as well, IIRC. Our wait staff was very pleasant. One server gently pushed salad and Uzbek bread on us, which we declined, but sort of wish we hadn't after watching nearby diners who were probably of Uzbek descent. We're dining with vegetarians on our remaining days in the area, who wouldn't have enough protein options here, but do wish we had time for a return visit. Bookmarked for our next trip.
