Recently, we visited a restaurant to celebrate our son's birthday. We were joined by two of his…read morefriends--classmates, Americans. As an Uzbek family originally from Tashkent, we must admit, somewhat embarrassingly, that we had not visited this restaurant serving our native cuisine until now. And before coming here, I could never have imagined that what I would see and hear would truly amaze and delight me. This feeling came within the very first moments of entering the restaurant, where lively music was playing and the famous song "Uchkuduk" performed by the band "Yalla" was playing. Along with this, there was a large artistic wall panel on the right, beautifully painted, illustrating a caravan of camels traveling through a hot desert. On the left side, there was another artwork--a fresco depicting the entrance to a caravanserai, once a resting place for traders along the Great Silk Road in ancient Samarkand, a major trading hub of its time. What impressed me most was the central part of the hall's wall, where dozens of exquisite decorative items were neatly arranged--examples of Uzbekistan's national art, craftsmanship, and traditional design. These beautifully reflect our culture and heritage, known around the world. The elegant furniture, the uniquely designed ceiling, and, of course, the glossy, mirror-like epoxy floor all perfectly complement this incredible beauty. Honestly, one feels like saying that this is not a restaurant, but a museum, where for a moment I truly felt as if I were back home in Tashkent--so cozy, familiar, and close to the heart. Now, moving on to the main impressions of our visit, especially the genuine delight of our American friends with the unique and delicious dishes we ordered. Of course, there was the famous Uzbek plov, three types of juicy kebabs, salads, samsa, manty, and two kinds of tea. After the meal, fully enjoying the outstanding flavors, our guests sincerely admitted that they had never experienced anything like this anywhere before, and promised that this restaurant would become one of their favorite places to return to again and again with friends and family. The next day, each of us, while at work--including myself--felt absolutely no hunger until returning home. What a phenomenon! A true testament to the richness and satisfying nature of Uzbek cuisine--something not often found in many other dining places in Sacramento. For all of this, and especially for the incredibly beautiful interior design that reflects both the historical depth and modern spirit of Uzbekistan, creating the impression of a "small Uzbek enclave" within California's capital -- we would like to express our sincere gratitude to the management of "Caravan Uzbek Cuisine Halal" from our small family. We wish you and your wonderful staff good health above all, and continued success in earning the appreciation and love of both your loyal and new guests, contributing to the growth and prosperity of your business. And we, your new admirers, look forward to many more visits in the future to this truly beautiful and magnificent restaurant. Amen.

The staff was nice although it took some tries to flag their attention for water refill, etc. We started off with manti. I've never tried this before but it's a dumpling filled with ground beef and sweet onion. It was very cumin-forward. The white sauce was smooth and balanced. The meat platter for two was awesome and came out flaming literally. It had 2 beef kabob, 2 chicken kabob, and 2 lamb chops. My favorite was the chicken for how juicy it was. The beef and lamb tasted a bit drier and very cumin heavy but overall delicious. We finished off with honey cake and tea. I loved the cake-- layered with a light creme and naturally sweetened by the honey. It paired well with their strong and fragrant black tea.

The restaurant shares their parking lot with a few businesses, so parking could be a challenge.

Kolbeh Kabob serves Persian and Mediterranean cuisine…read more Language barrier issues with our server affected my ability to order what I wanted, led to an upsell, and prevented me from separating or splitting the bill. Server did offer to let us choose 2 different meats for our two #41 Koobideh plates (2 beef skewers for $25), but I think we would have been better off just ordering one #61 All Koobideh plate (3 different meat skewers for $34). One plate has plenty of basmati rice for two people to share. She suggested the two #41 orders, instead of answering how much an extra order of rice would cost. Maybe you can't order a side of rice? Rice comes with each entree. By ordering the 2nd plate, she offered or included the $8 Bread Basket for no extra charge. It was my friend's birthday. I wanted to pay, and she wanted to order extra to go, so I wanted two separate bills, but it seemed too complicated to explain or disallowed. After the food was delivered to the table, server didn't check on us anymore. I guess the restaurant doesn't do anything special for birthdays. My friend thought all the koobideh tasted the same. I liked them in this order: 1) Lamb, 2) Chicken, and 3) Beef, but they're the same texture, so they aren't all that different. I should have ordered a different 2nd entree, instead of two Koobideh plates. The #18 Bademjan Borani eggplant appetizer was yummy. It did come with some bread, so you don't have to order the bread basket. The bread is served warm. The basmati rice was light and fluffy, but not flavorful or buttery. You can pay a $4 upgrade to switch the rice to salad or a fancier stir fried rice. Read the Vegetarian Dishes menu section to learn about the various fried rice or polo preparations. Our server suggested the Fava Bean Rice or Baghali Polo because it is a Persian New Year dish. Yelp reviewers recommended the Zereshk Polo, which includes barberries, a fruit similar to currants. $10 to add a skewer of veggies. $4 to add a salad is mentioned under the Vegetarian Dishes menu and Seafood & Combination Plates menu. I didn't like how the sugar cubes for the Persian Tea were served. It looked communal and exposed to the elements. You could see sugar dust on the serving bowl. Other Persian restaurants serve the sugar in a smaller covered bowl. Formal dining room. Lunch specials are Monday to Friday, 11 am to 3 pm, excluding holidays. Lunch prices range from $16-$20. 3 different $8 soup offerings: chicken barley, ashe reshteh, or green lentil.

On a Saturday night after 10PM, it was a good meal and more filling than one would imagine for street tacos not sold by a street vendor. Very flavorful for a brick and mortar shop! I have to thank whoever brotha was working that night (had tattoos). The 7-Eleven next door is very rude in terms of who can park near their shop and oddly have been "allowed" by whoever to designate one singular parking spot as their own (with barely visible, small printed white paint on the ground saying "7-11 Only"). As me and my friends had planned to dine-in, the brotha at Nikos came out and asked, seemingly quite flustered, if I could move my car. He was clear it was not him asking, but due to 7-Eleven and also offered a free soda to apologize for any inconvenience as me and my party had then decided to just order take out instead (there was no other parking). As I was about to move my car, one of the workers from 7-Eleven had came outside which, once again, the brotha working at Nikos told him that I was "okay" and was moving my car. Whoever is instructing their 7-Eleven employees to be bouncers of their storefront parking needs to do better...especially when people were parked outside your store eating in their cars saying, "These are the best quesadillas I've ever had." Needless to say, Nikos Tacos=5 Stars 7-Eleven Next Door=1 Star. I'll plan to go back to Nikos if able to in the near future. Especially since it seemed like such great energy on the inside.

And now that it's a better location for us we are going to add this to our rotation. Also this is a night and day location change, the one is west sac was a little rough, it added to the ambiance but seemed a little sketchy. This new spot is bright and clean, only thing I would change is to have free chips and salsa, that's a big deciding factor for a lot of people
