The restaurant is decorated beautifully and the tableware feels so special and fancy. I ordered a tandoor baked samsa, a pumpkin samsa, and a small lagman soup. The beef samsa had a shatteringly crisp exterior, well laminated with many flaky layers. The pastry was almost impossibly light and crisp. The interior contained roughly chopped beef well-seasoned with black pepper, onion and cumin seeds. It had ample filling and was warm and satisfying. The pumpkin samsa had a heavier, slightly greasy texture as I believe it was not baked in the tandoor oven. The filling was not mushy and the cubed pumpkin had a pleasant texture. The sweetness of the pumpkin was leveled out by savory diced onion. The pastry on this samsa was chewier and it provided a nice contrast to lighter beef samsa. I can't decide which I liked more. The soup was fantastic. The noodles appear homemade and the vegetables on top are very soft but not mushy. The pieces of beef are remarkably tender. The broth is marbled with red stained oil and the rich, beefy, savoriness is tempered by some type of bright acidity. The distinct aroma of fresh dill permeates the soup. The crunchy fresh herbs add an additional texture to the soup. I was surprisingly full at the end of this meal and the prices were extremely reasonable. If you're looking to try some Uzbek food in Sheepshead Bay I would certainly recommend this place.

Was walking down Bath Ave today and saw a big picture outside of the restaurant of some Tandir…read moreSamsa. It looked like empanadas, so we went in. This was our first time in an Uzbek restaurant and eating Uzbekistan's cuisine. We were very curious. The menu was in Uzbek. Although there were some English on the bottom, we still didn't know which picture represented which item on the menu. The waiter was very helpful in telling us which picture was which food. We ordered one tandir samsa, one avocado salad, two lamb kebabs, one manti meat (which looks a lot like xiaolong bao), one glass of kombot berry juice, and one cup of black coffee. The food was delicious. We loved and finished everything. The beef in the tandir samsa smelled so good inside my mouth. The avocado salad was so fresh. The two lamb kebabs were my absolute favorite. They're not dry and burnt like the shish kebabs you get at fairs and festivals. They were very juicy and not burnt at all. I love the gaminess smell of the lambs. The manti meat looked a lot like a Chinese dumpling, but it's bigger and they have a mixture of beef and lamb inside. It was so delicious. It came with a white, thick dipping sauce that looks like yogurt. The kombot berry juice reminded me of a delicious plum juice that I had in Beijing. It was so good! The hot coffee was also delicious, similar to the morning coffees in Mexico. Overall, we loved the food and service here. We were so glad to have tried something new today!

When we came to the address, it was a little hard to find the exact restaraunt and we even went to the wrong one. Upon reaching our table and ordering, our appetizers came out very quick and the appetizer was alright. We had the babaganish and it was alright. The spinach salad was the other appetizer and it was decent too. For the main course, I had the calmari and it was 3/5. All in all, the food was decent (3/5). The service was very good. But I didn't like a few things - first, it was hard to find. Second - there aren't enough restrooms, which created long lines. Third - the entrance door and door after entrance door opened in opposite directions and I almost hit my head.

When we arrived, we were surprised to see that it was a more formal setting as we were looking for something more of a quick takeout type of place. The restaurant is very nice, it has two dining room rooms and sit down service only for the dining rooms. We were approached immediately and sat down at a table by the window. When we explain to the waitress what we were looking for she let us know that we would be able to order gyros or wraps. We ordered two chicken wraps, and one lamb wrap, as well as lamacune. The wraps came with french fries, they were tasty and they came with a white yogurt sauce on the side. The Turkish pizza (lamacune) was delicious, each order has three pieces. The waitress brought us, complementary, hummus and yogurt sauce along with their fresh bread as a starter. Overall, the experience was good and I would go back to this restaurant if I am in the area.

I have been coming to Taci's Beyti since 2013 and frequented it a lot when I lived in Brooklyn but…read morenow moving to Queens for the past few years I still make the trip over 2-3 times a year. The quality of their food has always been top notch and honestly is my favorite spot for a Turkish meal. Their hummus and basically all their skewers, kababs and grilled meats are simply amazing. Fast forward, I haven't gone to Taci's Beyti for over a year and I just recently went for our anniversary dinner over the weekend. Place still felt the same, so I ordered my hummus, mixed grill and the chicken kebab for the misses. When The entrees arrived, I was a bit disappointed. They seem to have changed what use to come with their main entrees. Gone is the bed of thinly sliced onions under your meats, so is the roasted pepper and also the roasted tomato. Three items I actually enjoyed having with my entree. They also changed the pita under the meats as well but they replaced it with a very sad salad instead, with no dressing or even a vinaigrette at that. Just plain dry leaves with some red onions. They also have two prices now, one for cash and one for credit, the cost has gone up (which I understand) but they've also cut the portions and what use to come with it. Yes the food is still good but after that last trip I am rethinking about ever going back. I am disappointed that either through choice, greed, or whatever they decided to cut back. Time to scout and try some other Turkish restaurants in the boroughs I suppose, and no I am not leaving a one star review, their food quality and taste hasn't changed. I am just very disappointed.

We are vegetarian, so we had the vareniki with potatoes & mushrooms, mushroom soup, eggplant salad (salad "Delikates"), bread, and blintzes with cottage cheese.

The restaurant itself is not fancy or decorated well, but the food was comforting, warm, and it definitely felt home cooked. I will be coming back!

Though the later was decent one order of my pelmeni came mixed with paper and had text printed onto my food. When I addressed this to the waiter and asked if this was normal he said couldn't be sure and tried to leave the table. Obviously it wasn't normal considering we had two orders of it on the table and only my order had these issues. On top of that they wouldn't serve us water and suggested we try a cola instead. As we were paying the bill the waiter hovered over us asking for a tip though he wasn't helpful for anything during my meal. He told me the cooks error wasn't his problem though they work for the same establishment and he didn't comp or take my dish away after my complaint. 0 stars if I could.

One of them was a chicken salad and the chicken was really good and the dressing was also really nice prepared really well together and we also got a Greek salad which was just a classic standard salad. They also have avocado bruschetta which was also really good. The avocado was nice and ripe. We also got samsa and it was really good. The dough was nice and flaky and crispy and on the inside the meat was really nice and juicy. It was my favorite, but it was definitely still good. For the main, we got a huge mixed grill platter that came with a bunch of different meats like chicken, shish kebab and lamb kebab and it was so good. The meat was really nice and juicy and flavorful and it was cooked really well and all of this also came with a side of chips which were a great pairing and a little bit of a different twist compared to regular french fries. The kompot was great it was nice and sweet and flavorful. The service was nice the waiters were really attentive. The ambiance was just a classic Russian/uzbek restaurant. For birthdays they play a nice funny happy birthday song. Overall, it's a nice, heartwarming experience.

Waiter was rude and never apologized for the delay and the raw burnt over priced food. Then there was a loud argument because the delivery guy was waiting about 30 minutes after being told that it'll be ready in 5 minutes. No respect for someone's time and job. I hate when people are trying to do their jobs and someone sabotages them. Apparently it's not the 1st time. And hungry people at home are also getting bad service and long wait. Overall, it put stress on everyone. Ruined many people's evening. I regret not leaving earlier and gone somewhere else. I feel like they were giving good service and respect to their countrymen in the restaurant, but not to people of other nationalities and races. Do they deliberately sabotage food and timing because they don't want us to return?! Are they deliberately delaying the delivery orders to get delivery guy to lose his job? It' seems to be happening a lot from the Uzbek halal restaurants. Too much of a coincidence. Will not recommend them to anyone. I wonder if the owner cares about losses in revenues or he's a bigot. Very disappointing.

My partner and I had just pasta with tomato sauce, dumplings, and a teapot, and it cost us $80! At another place, I had pasta with unlimited soups, and I ate the soups and was fed, and I took the whole pasta with me to eat once or twice more. And my partner ate her pasta and had some leftovers. And we had unlimited drinks for 2 and it all cost us only like $55! I highly recommend that Masal decrease their prices significantly. -They have a mandatory gratuity which to me just doesn't look good (and I do always tip). -The last time the service was awful. There was only one guy serving everyone and he kept on doing something else and rarely looking at us. He once disappeared/went somewhere for what seemed like 5 minutes. Where were more servers? We had to wait longer than last time each time we needed a server. -Last time the bathroom was unusable and we had to go somewhere else when we had to go. -Last time there were some changes that made the cafe look less pleasing, and the windows were blocked. I always enjoyed sitting by the windows enjoying the scenery but now I couldn't. My partner and I may no longer go to this cafe.
