The lamb and beef gyro had nice flavor, but the chicken gyro could've used more seasoning. The salad had a nice crunch and proved to be a higher contender of my meal than I thought possible but the knafe? The knafe & Turkish tea was my favorite part of the meal! P.S. There are no fountain drinks and everything is sold by the bottle, so maybe keep that in mind if you're a glugger of liquids

He wanted to try Afghani food, so I turned to Yelp for a nearby location, which brought us here. Props once again! We absolutely loved the rich decor, and even got to dine in the raised carpeted private and pillowed area. It was a lot of fun, and good thing I sit with my legs crisse crossed quite often because that's how we enjoyed our meal. So much fun! The Samosas were really good and not greasy at all (no Tamarind, boo), like other versions I've tried. Our meals were excellent, I just wasn't so sure about the bread, but no biggie. I liked the rice with our beef, chicken, and lamb, but it was a bit bland or something. All of the meats were amazingly tender and seasoned! My minor dings were that the server barely cracked a smile and I didn't like their version of Chutney (it was on our table in a bottle with a white sauce, which was very light and tasty).

I had the grilled sampler because I just couldn't decide on what to get and I was very happy with my decision. The salad was a nice fresh accompaniment to the meal. My favorite meat on the plate was the gyro - a mixture of beef and lamb that was seasoned so well I couldn't stop eating it. I would go back just for that alone. The rice was also surprising flavorful.

I have no idea what it was called, but the one that was slightly spicy and had a similar flavor to a Mexican salsa was a surprise and a delight. I loooooooved the fluffy bread that was served to the table. Fresh, steaming hot, and the perfect utensil for testing out the dips. I'm not sure what it was called - it wasn't a pita, I don't think, since it was much lighter. But 10/10, no notes, give me 14 of them. I was craving beef, so I went for the shish kebab. Hands down, one of the most memorable I've had in a very long time. So tender. I loved the perfectly grilled vegetables. I absolutely loved adored the rice - so well seasoned, light and fluffy. Finally, baklava. I would say this was my only disappointment. The serving was miniscule. Service was lovely.

Everything was really tasty--the soup was smooth and flavorful, the rice had a nice seasoning, and the falafel was on point. It was a little pricey for just three falafel, but I was really craving it, so I went for it. I stopped by after work and grabbed takeout. While I waited, the place was quiet and the staff were friendly. I'd definitely come back for the same dishes. I'm not big on meat and don't usually venture too far outside my comfort zone with food, but this hit the spot.

Absolutely delicious food and incredible service…read more I've lived in this area the majority of my life and only recently dined at this restaurant. I am not an adventurous eater, but I could kick myself for not going sooner. The food was that delicious and very importantly reasonably priced. My husband and I decided to try it during a date night, and I can't wait to go back. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Our starter was Tandoori Samsa. Our entrees were the Classic Lamb and Plov Samarkand. For dessert we shared the Pahlava. If I had to change anything I would have ordered my own Pahlava. We are already planning to go back for his birthday with the whole family.

We found out that most of the people (regulars) who usually come here are on their vacation season so it was not an issue getting a six-top reservation with only a day's notice. The restaurant is huge with at least two mega rooms downstairs and one upstairs. We actually went to the upstairs door to check in only to be told we had to go to the downstairs door and check in there. Once we did, the staff asked if we would be ok with being in the "party" room where there would be a DJ. We were fine with that and the staff was more than happy to accommodate us. Once at our table, the extensive menus made it almost too difficult to decide what we wanted. May want to consider reducing the food options here. My wife and I split a tomahawk steak. Once we ordered it, we were told we should probably move to an eight-top because we would have more space. The place was almost empty at 6:15pm on a Saturday so we got to move and give us some more room. We also had two serving of Plov, a prime NY strip, a roasted beet salad, and a chicken fingers with fries. We added some bread, too, along with some compote. The Plov was some of the best we've ever had with lots of tender meat. Both steaks were cooked to our liking. Fries were killer and the chicken fingers were fine. I did not care for the compote as I'm used to it with fruit still in the drink. At about 7pm, the DJ started but there was no separate party which is what we thought was going to show up. The DJ sang some and played up-tempo dance music but also threw in some known music like Ob-Bla-Dee Ob-Bla-Dah from the Beatles also in the dance music style. So much fun after drinking a lot of our BYOB alcohol. Service was excellent and more than accommodating for us. He even advised when we were getting ready to leave that it was raining hard and we could stay until it died down. The restaurant is colorful with lights and designs on the walls including projector lights and white linen sheets above. The place was clean and also the bathrooms on the lower rear level. $305 not including tip for six adults which included two steaks, two Plov, chicken fingers with fries, three breads, and a compote. I mention a lot with my reviews that I'd come back to a place. I really can't wait to return to Samarkand! It was just a lot of fun with excellent food and service. I hope it's just as good when the place is slammed and full.
