    My Beloved asked me if I had eaten at a Bukharian restaurant before, as my birthday was approaching, and he was making plans. I told him I hadn't yet and it sounded great! On the day of my birthday, I looked up Chayhana on Yelp just to check the hours and driving time. As I browsed through the photos, I worried it wasn't as "fancy" as I had hoped, so I suggested a kosher French spot instead. But when we arrived, it was closed -- so Bukharian food it was! Upon walking into Chayhana, I'll admit, I was sour. It wasn't loud, festive, or glamorous. I described it to my Beloved as, "a place I'd go at 2 AM after a night out in New York when I just wanted some quiet and good food as a nightcap." But then the food arrived. And everything shifted. Each dish greeted us with comfort, coziness, and bursting flavor. All of our senses were satisfied. So much so, that we returned the very next day -- and I'm sure we'll be back many, many, many more days to follow, b'srat Hashem! Food. Staff. Cozy atmosphere. All 10/10!!!

My wife and I dine here regularly, and every visit feels like coming home. The genuine hospitality and personal attention from the staff are what keep us coming back time and time again. The food is consistently outstanding. Whether we're trying a new dish or ordering one of our favorites, every meal is prepared with care, quality ingredients, and incredible attention to detail. You can tell there is a passion for great food behind everything that comes out of the kitchen. The bar program deserves special recognition as well. The bartenders work with fresh ingredients and premium spirits, and you can taste the difference immediately. Every cocktail is balanced, flavorful, and thoughtfully crafted rather than simply poured. It's clear they take as much pride in the drinks as the kitchen does in the food. The service team is equally impressive. The waitstaff is always friendly, attentive, and accommodating without ever making you feel rushed. They genuinely want you to enjoy your experience and go out of their way to make every visit memorable. The atmosphere is another reason this place stands out. The music is always perfectly curated, creating the ideal backdrop for an intimate dinner, date night, or evening out with friends. It strikes that rare balance of being lively and energetic while still allowing for conversation. What truly separates this restaurant from others is the sense of community. It's one of the few places where you're greeted with a hug when you arrive and often another when you leave. That level of warmth and authenticity simply can't be manufactured. If you're anywhere near South Florida, it's absolutely worth making the trip to Hollywood for an unforgettable dining experience. And whatever you do, don't leave without ordering the focaccia bread. It may sound simple, but it's one of the stars of the menu--fresh, flavorful, perfectly prepared, and the ideal way to start an exceptional meal. This is more than just a restaurant; it's a place where great food, great people, and great memories come together.

The music in there was a bit loud which made it hard to hear while having a conversation. It seems super over priced for the amount of food & lack of flavor. I personally would not recommend this place.

The ambiance of the place is lovely, decorated with string lighting that looks so gorgeous at night. The patio area is much bigger than I anticipated and even has some larger tables for any larger parties. We started off with an appetizer of the peach burrata, which was tasty! I would give it 4/5. We then got wine flights which I thought were such a great value for the price. You get 3 small sized wine glasses for $15 and get to sample three wines! Definitely recommend this 5/5. As entrees, we shared two entrees - the pesto pasta and the gnocchi which at the time was made with a pork type of sauce. Both were very delicious and we really enjoyed the flavors of both. The consistency of the gnocchi's sauce was a bit interesting, as it was all sort of blended together, but the flavor was very good! Would give them each 4/5. We ended the night with tiramisu - delicious and the presentation was very cute. I haven't had very much tiramisu to compare against, but I'll give it 5/5 as I really enjoyed it! As for service, our waitress was very attentive and nice but note that they can get busy on weekend evenings, so expect a little bit of a wait. Overall, I had a great time and enjoyed the food. My favorite part of the night were the ambiance and the wine flights. I hope to come back again soon!

Super friendly across the board. The vibe is the best part. The outdoor courtyard setup is really cool, especially at night. Just a great atmosphere whether you're grabbing a drink or staying a while. Had the margarita pizza our last night and it was legit--really good. Highly recommend if you're in Fort Lauderdale and want a laid-back spot with great energy.

Not a huge food menu but just enough to share and balance the drinks. I visited on their trivia night for a date night, only a few participating tables and it was fun! The questions were difficult but we made it through and won a small prize for second place. Service was beyond friendly, and we chatted with one of the owners who was super welcoming. I'd be interested in trying out their happy hour as if you having a couple drinks and bites the bill can start escalating quickly. Overall a fun, dim lit sophisticated time!

It's owner operated, which shows in the curated wine selection and the care put into the menu. The small bites are well done and the limited heartier options are satisfying enough to make it a full evening out rather than just a stop for a quick drink. The wine list offers a strong range across regions and styles, though I'd love to see an extra Italian red or two added. The servers are friendly and clearly know their wine, offering helpful suggestions without being pushy. A relaxed and polished spot for unwinding with a great glass of wine.

It is inspired in the amalfi coast because of all the lemons and fresh flavors. We came during the week as it is only open for dinner and didn't want to deal with the weekend crazies. We tried their spritz lemonica (prosecco, limoncello and soda) and their lemonica martini (vodka, limoncello and orange liqueur). Both were delicious and the martini was creamy which was surprising. The server brought a complimentary small plate of baked (?) pizza dough in the shape of triangles to start. We ordered their cheese board which came with a tiny pitcher of honey and blueberries and almonds. 4 or 5 different cheeses: Parmesan, a smoky one that was good, Brie and two others I can't remember. For main dishes we tried the rigatoni allá vodka and two meatballs and the pasta alla carbonara with chicken. Pasta was fresh and everything was good. Carbonara could have used a little bit of salt but that's neither here nor there. Unfortunately we didn't try their desserts or pizzas so we will be going back for that. Street parking is available, just plan ahead. Specially on weekends.
