    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

    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
    Galina A.

    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!

    Bella P.

    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.

    Ade S.

    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've been hitting up Mediterranean restaurants like nobody's business on this leg of our spring…read morebreak, in part because of our proximity to many, and in part because my progeny and I are currently obsessed with babaganoush in its many variations. For this particular dinner, we were also focused on finding a truly vegetarian friendly restaurant where we could take our dear friends. Kabobji was a wonderful choice for vegetarians, omnivores, and carnivores alike. It's a large restaurant with plenty of booths and large tables for gathering with friends and family. Someone I suspect to be an owner was working hard alongside his wait staff and displayed a sense of genuine hospitality. Above all, the restaurant has a rock solid kitchen. The falafel ($13.99 / 5 pieces) here were ****STELLAR****!!! They're shaped like Indian medu vada (fried with a hole in the middle), probably for the same reason: to allow as much of the surface to fry to that perfect golden crisp as possible. And Kabobji's falafel were, in fact, awesomely crisp and well textured, made from soaked chickpeas in the traditional style, perfectly sized, nuanced and subtle in flavor -- some of the best we can remember having. (For reference, we love Nish Nush and Tanoreen for falafel in NYC -- and I think our neighborhood must be one of the major international epicenters for falafel.) Also excellent: the baba ghannouj ($10.99 for the small size), just a bit chunky, enriched with a lot of tahini, a moderate amount of garlic, a touch of lemon. This is how we like to make it at home. The vegetable ghallaba platter ($20.99) was simply made with thinly sliced onions and bell peppers, a small amount of zucchini, I think, and a touch of tomato. I would've loved to have had a spritz of lemon or sprinkle of sumac for a more acidic component, perhaps a little less onion. Note that this dish works better as a main course when accompanied by something protein-y like hummus, but it was pleasant to eat alongside our other orders. A convive, who went with the mixed shawarma platter ($27.99), found it to be a generous portion size and enjoyed it, especially with a side of well composed fattoush salad (+$5.99 to upgrade). Beef shish kebab ($14.99) and lamb shawarma ($15.99) wraps were both excellent and moist, a good balance of protein and vegetable. I didn't try them, but the "cheese pies" ($12.99) turned out to be pitas covered with a large amount of melty white cheese that some young children might enjoy as pizza. (Mine probably would've found them to be "too cheesy," but they're mutants.) They came three to an order. When you dine in, they bring a big basket of warm pita / pida to the table -- quite a generous touch!! I think it's house made and of course went beautifully with our food. Bottom line: GREAT FALAFEL! Great, low-key, family-friendly vibe. Good for vegetarians and non-vegs. Go.

    I love this place! I remember when I was 26 I came here once's and I felt in love! Come and enjoy!…read moreYou're going to loveeeeeeeeeeeeeee it!

You walk in and there's generations of photos on the walls and employees that have been there since day 1. Food is always consistent and that's not something you come by these days.

We arrived and there was a wait but it's a small little place so we waited outside until another group of people came and started smoking so we went inside ... When we saw that one of the tables was available and there was really no place to stand, one of us went over to start to sit down (as a solution) and the waitress whose name was Lulli or Lolli started yelling at us telling us that she had to clean first and I said yeah, but there's no place for stand and she yelled that we had to wait. Now, if you've been to Israel, you'll know that people are pretty rude. Kind of nasty they yell at each other we all know and accept it. And you kind of expect it if you go to an Israeli restaurant coz you're gonna get treated poorly. They act like you're bothering them. Of course it's not true of all Israeli restaurants but it's a generalization that's pretty spot on. Once you do get seated and she calms her ass down, you order the most amazing lemonade with fresh lemon, mint, and blended with ice that is to perfection. There's a spread already on the table of small little salads, chickpeas, carrots a lot of cabbage beets etc , to pick on while you're choosing from the extensive Israeli food on the menu . They have all the great Middle Eastern foods that you'll find in Israel . The hummus, the baba ghanoush, the falafel, the amazing is really salad with all the fresh herbs and the delicious fresh ingredients. Five of us spent about $22 each and had the best time despite our waitress and the leaky ceiling and the pretty dingy decor , but that's why we come here. Oh, and the tip is included in the price, which is probably why your waitress doesn't give a damn if you like her or not. We will be returning here for that Lemonanna and overlook Loli or whatever her name was.

    Well I accidentally came here. Was headed to Hummus Achla and noticed this place across the street…read morewhich is called "Falafal Achla". I assumed this was owned by the same people. I decided to go to the "Falafal" version of the "Achla" empire because it looked newer from the outside. Before I get into this review I'd like to say I risked my life for a falafal, by trying to cross Hallandale on foot. Y'all need some crosswalks my Miami people. But I was still light on my feet (pre-falafal) so was able to play live Frogger like a G. On to the food. I had a falafal sandwich. What's very nice is the owner literally scoops fresh falafal into balls and fries them up on the spot. The result is a moist falafal that's still lightly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The falafal is a bit hard to eat and it's messy, from the huge dollop of tahina sauce that dresses the top of the sandwich. But I like saucy food so that's not a problem for me, plus I was impressed the pita held up all the way until the end of my meal. Wow. When I make this at home my pita turns into a soggy and ripped mess every. single. time. Inside the (very fresh) pita is falafal of course, Israeli salad, and hummus. What could have make this better? Something tangy or sour to to play against the other flavors. I would have enjoyed a pickle of some sort in there. This one falafal filled me up real good and I was starving. And for less than $8 that's a good deal these days. I have no doubt this food is authentic. The owner is Israeli and looks like he's been working with falafal since back in the day. And the restaurant itself is very new, clean, and nice looking. Why not check it out? Just look both ways before crossing the street, and never, never ever, try running across Hallandale with a stomach full of falafal. (I was between 4 and 5 stars and with a few more choices for toppings I think this would a slam dunk 5-star. But Yelp doesn't allow 4.5 stars and with room for improvement I can't give 5 stars.)
