Incredible food! The meat was tender and the soup was amazing. World class food in a small truck stop

I ate so fast I forgot to take pictures! Delicious authentic cuisine. The compot is just like my grandma used to make...fruity and refreshing. Loved the lamb plov and the samosas. We drove an hour out of our way to eat here. read more

Chayhana - Samsa - Uzbek Near Me - Perrysburg, Ohio

The food was basically fine; I picked up some lamb and potatoes for the road, but it turned out there were more bones than meat and potatoes combined. read more

The food is delicious and tastes homemade. I am a fan of their tomato and onion salad, stuffed cabbage and pelmeni soup. Their black tea with sugar is perfectly steeped and so deeply aromatic. Every Russian/Central Asian dish I have tried here is delicious. The service is not quick and it's better to be proactive and approach the server with your order instead of waiting for them to approach you. Also, do not wait for the check. Go up to the counter and pay. The ambience is clean but sparse and they have an Islamic prayer room for the many truckers that frequent this establishment due to its proximity to the turnpike. Sometimes on Fridays they play Quranic recitations instead of europop music through the speakers, which makes a soothing and lovely environment. read more

A place like this, situated where it is, will cause you to say, "only in America." I did some campaign work in the greater Toledo area. The money people put us up in a True by Hilton in the Corporation of Rossmore, OH. Work came fast and unpredictable; time was not an ally. Scouring the webs for interesting places to eat, Chayhana hit the top of the list. I'm driving at night through vast expanses of open land like I'm Neal Cassady, except I'm looking for pelmeni, and not pu... whatever. In any event, the scene is liminal. A saltbox house here, a lone church there, and a ten story silo over there. Finally, I arrive at my destination: Chayhana. This Uzbeki restaurant is in what looks like a renovated Wendy's. It's also on one corner of a four way intersection that otherwise caters to truckers. The boys running the place got their hands on some firecrackers and are lighting them off in the parking lot. Fucking Fallujah, man. The service here is lackadaisical, but well meaning. Their lack of promptness and proclivity to forget an item you ordered isn't because they don't value your patronage. These lapses in are due to the fact that they have only recently arrived from the Caucuses where priorities are different. I admit the place is dirty. I read how a fellow yelper got sick; I can see that happening. But again, life in the Caucuses differs from that of the continental U.S. Look, they have an entire array of colognes for you to use in the men's room. That should make up for bad service. And the piquancy of the food should make up for the fact that dining here is like a game of Russian Roulette for food poisoning. I ordered three items: big eyes, bigger stomach. One was an appetizer. Cheburek, which belongs to the broad genre of stuffed dough, this one is stuffed with ground beef and onions and the dough is fried. They gave some kind of canned tomato sauce in a plastic ramekin: I didn't ask. It's an appetizer made completely in house for $3.99, you don't complain. I also ordered the pelmeni. For those of you who fancy yourselves Italian food lovers, these are shaped just like tortellini, but have a beef and onion filling - you see a pattern with the beef and onion (in Uzbekistan, I'm sure there'd be more horse meat). Over a dozen of these hand made dumplings swim in a delicious beef broth, seasoned with dill and parsley. They give a side of sour cream. It doesn't blend well with the broth. I recommend dipping the pelmeni into the sour cream, not vice-versa. For mains, I had something called xolodes. This is a beef aspic. I admit, I asked for this with some trepidation, but never having eaten aspic, I felt I owed it to the food world. It was delicious and intensely beefy. Fresh herbs garnished over the top gave some sprightliness to the dish. The gelatinous cold beef was a texture I wasn't entirely prepared for. Mind you, I love tripe and chicken feet and all sorts of gelatinously textured items. But cold? That is a hurdle I still need to cross, well, cross with more grace. They have a giant menu, with items influenced by the Persians, Arabs, Slavs and Chinese. Hell, they even have an ad for a pancake breakfast pasted up in the window. Only in America! read more

Looks like Uzbek, taste like undercooked American! Was told they didn't have potatoes so when my wife and I were finishing our dinner the guy beside us magically got what I had ordered and was told they didn't have! Food was ok, but not really good as expected! read more

I have never tried Uzbekistani food before, so when I saw an Uzbekistani restaurant I knew I had to stop by! This is a very comfortable and welcoming environment. There is lots of seating, and balkan-esque pop music plays over a speaker. Everyone is very kind, my server gave me great suggestions of what to try. I had a Samsa, Borscht Soup, the Compote drink, and traditional lemon tea. Everything was excellent, very flavorful. This was a nice hearty meal after a cold day of working outside. Highly recommend stopping by here if you're in the area. read more

Chayhana - Samsa, Borscht Soup, and the Compote drink. All excellent! - Uzbek Near Me - Perrysburg, Ohio

We stopped here why traveling on a whim and it was soooo good!! We had the fresh salad, Borscht, samsas, and UYGHUR JIZ-BIZ. Everything was delicious. The beef was so tender and the samsa were flaky and savory. Salad was fresh and borscht had great flavor. Would definitely recommend for takeout or eating in. When I went to pick up the food there were people sitting in booths eating dinner and drinking tea! It is like an old Wendy's restaurant and seemed clean inside. I also noticed a prayer room was available. read more

This place is a hidden Gem in Toledo. The food is fantastic. Some of the best food I've had in a long time. Has the quality of a high end restaurant and the taste of your grandma's delicious home cooked food. If you want to get a taste of the east, this is as close to uzbaki food as it gets. Staff is friendly and attentive, place is large and spacious. This place is a must! read more

Chayhana - Half eaten bread, beef kebab (minus a piece), and half eaten Galupsi. - Uzbek Near Me - Perrysburg, Ohio

First time here and for most part very pleased. The building is an old Wendy's restaurant transformed into a very nice and clean establishment. The Turkish/ Persian menu is extensive and the dishes we ordered were all new to us. Our party enjoyed everything we ordered from the bread, appetizers and main entrees. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and helped in choosing our dishes. We rating of four stars was hard to pick instead of three. The reason is, you do not serve one's appetizer salad and entrees all at the same time. Also the lack of condiments at the table including salt and pepper. Also their location may hurt them. All in all give them a try because the food is phenomenal. read more

Definitely the best place around!! I did a cross country move a while ago and stumbled across this place. I was soooooo happy! Best food and the people are the nicest! Loved the atmosphere and everything. DON'T WAIT - GOOOO!! read more

This was truly the best restaurant food I have had in years. It is at a truck stop in an old Wendy's building. Kind of a quiet spot though with friendly staff. I've never tried any of these dishes before, but everything I ate from the complimentary bread, salad, beef dumplings, beef pasta and Chayhana black tea, was fresh and delicious. read more

A hidden little gem! From the outside - it's a small building on the side of a truck stop, but inside its rather quient with a friendly staff and amazing food worth driving an hour for (in our case). Authentic Uzbec food (or what could also be associated with Eastern European cuisine). Prices are great. Portions are good - especially generous soup Portions. Come hungry because you will want to try everything! Lamb plov - rice dish - is hands down spectacular! Cheburek and samsa - absolutely delicious! I wish this place was closer to home! read more

Chayhana - Uzbek lamb plov - Uzbek Near Me - Perrysburg, Ohio

I had never had Uzbek food and I loved it. The grilled lamb and potato were cooked to perfection and the lamb was tender and falling off the bone. The grilled beef with rice and sautéed green peppers and vegetables was delicious. If you don't want Uzbek food they have a Spaghetti with bolognese sauce. They have breakfast egg specials and the truckers seem to be parked all around it. Also the stereo system was excellent with a good playlist. read more

The food is delicious and the server was so nice and helpful. We loved the picked vegetables and the dumplings were very good as well. We enjoyed their Borscht and my husband loved the whole fried chicken dish they serve. The atmosphere was quiet and peaceful. We already look forward to our next visit so we can try other dishes! read more

I spend over 200 dollars and the food itself maded me have the runs like nonstop. Either the food was outdated or they don't know how to cook the qubali .They can't make it like afghans. They should quit making it, while they can. The food was so oily and salty. It was waste of money. I couldnt even eat most of it due to; it was so gross and nasty. I don't know why anyone would want to go to this nasty ass Resturant. It's like they're trying to make others have a heart attack with all this oil and salt or what? I'm disappointed that they maded qubali this nasty, even the food in the trash can in Afghanistan taste better then this. read more

Fantastic little place.... Right off of the Ohio turnpike, avoid the Subway.... Much better awaits across the parking lot. As an appetizer try the Samsa. Amazing! Had the Borscht as well.

Food choices are amazing, have been here two times in the last month to try different foods, all have been great,

I wanted something light to eat so I ended up getting the Pelmeni Dumpling Soup. So tasteful... The broth is full of flavor with herbs and a side of soft cream that you mix into the broth to give it a creamy hearty flavor. The medallion shaped dumplings are filled with a good flavored beef meatball... It was so good I had to get one to go .. I'm a truck driver so this will be my go to place when I'm at the truck stop across the street. read more

Way out on Libbey Rd. you will find this Uzbek restaurant. We loved our bread, and the Chicken Tahaka was divine. Service was friendly but the food did take some time to come out.

I am a truck driver and I went to get food from restaurant and I got food for a week thinking I am gonna have some good Uzbek food but the food was dowsed with oil and salt and no taste to it I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone I wasted 200$ for their shit food. read more

This place is a gem!!!! It feels like a whole in the wall and once you walk inside the lights get flipped on everything changes. Great ambiance, amazing service and the food is fantastic. As a trucker with a love for diverse food I generally find myself lacking for options. This will be a mandatory stop for me anytime I'm in the area. For those truckers that are hesitant trying ethic food, get the Plov!!! It will bring back memories or mama's pot roast. read more

Discovered the unassuming gem while visiting Toledo for a wedding. We got the carrot salad (fresh-tasting & perfectly acidic), uzbek non (soft with a toasty flavor), laghman soup (hearty & warming, thick handmade noodles with a great chew, tomato wasn't overwhelmingly acidic), uzbek plov (beef was tender & rice was cooked in the beef fat so this was so flavorful). To top it all off, service was attentive as well. We didn't expect to find this unique spot right off the highway -- it was a lovely surprise! read more

I was looking for someplace I'd not been and with different style of food than my normal choices. This place is at turnpike plaza. It was authentic & amazing! I will be returning soon. So many other dishes I will be trying too. read more

We weren't expecting to have a great meal at the truck stop. But now we know new food and never imagined that Uzbek has unique foods and desserts. Desserts made by the owner sister! So freaking amazing, we still can't decide what was better. The milk based or the honey based cake. You decide? read more

I was so excited to try this spot as it was midway for my husband and I to meet up with my parents. I'd never had Uzbekian food so I was up for an adventure. Initially, we were greeted and sat at a booth - which oddly had a clear plastic table cloth on it. We ordered the Uzbek non bread, plov and jiz-biz and my parents ordered the samsa, plov and stir fry noodle. They brought out one plov and a great looking lamb dish that I thought was my dinner like 2 mins later. We were waiting for my parents food before digging in and a different man came out, shook his head at me and took my plate away. There was no explanation. No other food came so we urged my husband to eat his before it was cold. A few minutes later, my parents got their food and our bread showed up. Still nothing for me...and the uzbek non was cold, dense, hard with no sauces or condiment or flavor. Basically, it was one thick baguette-like dinner roll that we could barely break apart for $4.50. The samsa was better and had a sauce. Next, a plate was set in front of me - a few sad pieces of overcooked lamb atop generic French fries. Our water glasses were empty. No one ever checked on us or our food. A bill was put down and we put our card in it. No one ever came to pick it up though 3 men stood together doing nothing. We took it to the front. The bill was over $75, and I had to eat cereal when I got home. The Plov and stir fry had good flavor, but none were worth $14.99 each. My sad plate of fries and lamb was definitely not worth $19.99. I ordered lamb with roasted potatoes and onions. None of our meals looked even remotely like the pictures, and I wasn't even given what I ordered. All the employees seemed not to understand our questions. Dull and mediocre food at high prices with bad service. read more

A bit out of the box that this Uzbeki place is adjacent to a highway and a turnpike in what we call "truck town" with all the related fast food and gas stations. However, the food is very good and the ambience is nice. We got the non, which is a loaf of bread with a bagel- like texture, and the meat dumpling appetizer. The meat dumplings had a samosa- like dough with small meatballs inside. They were actually quite light and tasty. For entrees we had the Jiz-Biz and the chicken. The Jiz-Biz had peppers and onions and tomato stir fried with thinly sliced beef and a brown sauce. It was delicious. The chicken is a whole bone in chicken, but it was small by American standards so is a meal for one person, maybe with leftovers. The chicken was spatchcocked and flash fried. I would not choose that again, just because it wasn't special and lacked any Uzbeki flavor. Unfortunately they were out of desserts so we didn't get to try the honey cake. We would definitely return and try other dishes! Incidentally, there is a Muslim prayer room adjacent to the dining room if you practice. read more
