We made this a destination on our exploration of different ethnic neighborhoods of Queens. The food is great. We preferred the baked over fried items. The savory pumpkin -- like a boreka but I don't know what the Bukharian name for it is-- was delicious. We also liked the beef and beef/ lamb The traditional cracker bread that looks like matzoh in a bowl shape ( but is not matzoh) was yummy. Just the right salt The owner suggested a flakey bread loaf with onions. Also delicious. The prices are quite reasonable. Owner suggested other points in the area: a Jewish Bukharian museum ( must reserve in advance) and 2 large Russian grocery stores. Otherwise this is a suburban neighborhood read more

Amazing food, love the authentic Bukharian Asian cuisine. Samsa is a must try !!! Service was great and welcoming

What a great bakery. The meat pies were fantastic, and also the pumpkin hand pies. Very flavorful and filling. I was on a Queens tour (from Albany) and was able to get behind the scenes of the kitchen and how they make the breads. Very cool! It was wonderful to see the process and the oven used for baking the meat pies and bowl like different sized breads. It was off the beaten path, and it is so worth visiting. read more

It's so tasty, it's a very nice little hole in the wall. The service is very straight forward

I only buy the bread here which is pretty tasty always fresh and good service very nice staff inside.

What beautiful breads, and pastries. The smell coming out of the shop is so wonderful. Important to support Bukharian businesses.

Fresh bread with Kosher meat. Fresh bread and rolls. How can you go wrong? Traditionally cooked Uzbekestani style, the bread is cooked in a round brick oven where the stuffed rolls stay on the wall. They also have a squash one and that was my favorite. The owners are very friendly. Mera's Tip: Try the squash roll. read more

This review is for the bakery only. The big round bread is just ok. Not really crusty enough, compared to what you can get elsewhere. And a lot of what they sell is from other bakeries. But the samsa are quite good, so maybe go just for those. read more

Although not that old, the bread, the people, the prices even, harken back to another time. A real gem of a neighborhood bakery serving the Jewish diaspora that live in the area. I chose a large round loaf of bread expecting to pay upwards of $5-6 for it. "$1.50, please," said the man running the front counter. On the way out struck up a conversation with a local who asked if it was my first visit--probably pretty obvious. He suggested a meat filled, triangular pastry from next door (service by the same bakery and under the same name I believe). It was superb. Look, there's nothing fancy to sightsee here. If you want to see bread as it is in Eastern Europe, though I have little experience in the matter, this is most likely the place everyone is going to send you to. Though I was there only briefly this morning I enjoyed the sights, the smells, the conversation with a local. Well worth the effort to get here. read more

Such an incredible place of food and culture - worth a visit if you're out there. The bread is inexpensive, and when freshly made, perfect pairing. Also, the samsa (pies) are worth a try as well, the dough is flaky, the filling strong read more

Simple, delicious, and filling breads served up hot and fresh here, and for very little money compared to some of the kosher tourist traps that one finds throughout NYC. We don't exactly have a lot of Bukharan Jews in Oklahoma, so this place (along with a great many other Bukharan Jewish bakeries and restaurants in the city) seemed a bit exotic to me at first. Trust me -- this place is a little gem, and no trip to "the city" is now complete without my stopping in for fresh beechak, and also for the delectable lamb plov. The owners are friendly and helpful, but they're not there just to chit-chat. Oh -- and be sure to pick up your order before things start shutting down for Shabbos. (This is a heavily Orthodox part of Rego Park.) read more

My dad was adamant about coming here after he saw the bakery on a TV show. It's a bit more than a bakery. It's also a Bukharan takeout and basic ingredients store. We picked up some meat samsi, lamb plov, manti (with a similar filling to the samsa), and tandoor bread. The meat and onion filling was great! For that reason, I'd recommend either the samsa or the manti. Personally, I prefer the crunchiness of the samsi to the softness of the manti. The bread is very dense. All in all, it's a pleasant little food spot tucked away into Rego Park. Honestly, it's a place we would have never found without TV or Internet. I'm glad we had the opportunity to check it out! It's a nice family business which helps preserve another culture here in NY. read more

Really a nice old school family style place with DELICIOUS Old World style baked goods. Stop in for a samosa and leave with a smile on your face. RECOMMENDED 100% read more

Love the round breads when they are fresh out of the oven, they will sometimes try to push the ones that have been hanging out so it's a hit or miss for super fresh depending on when they're baking. read more

This is the place to go for that crispy satisfying Samosa (meet pies). I come here on Friday's usually, not far from home, to get some bread and meat pies before Shabbat. They close early on Fridays and usually run out before two because there are so many Jewish people in the vicinity. I try to come here as often as possible. There's no place to sit down, but it's a convenient place to get these goodies and get out quickly. I'll be coming here again sometime soon. I just wish the owner put on a smile once in a while. He's very grouchy but the food beats that, plus they have a great hashgaha. VHQ to be exact. read more

A staple in Rego park amongst the Jewish community. Been here for years and has even expanded. They produce some of queens best bread or "leeposhkee" , along with meat pies (Samsa) and my personal favorite , Beechak ( filo dough w/squash). This place gets busy on a Friday b/c of Shabbat ,so try to get in here earlier. On the weekdays, not so busy. And is a good place to pick up some of the things mentioned. Samsa n Beechak pair well with dinner as an appetizer and is also good for when guests come over. The place is family owned store and the owner is always on sight . True OG in the neighborhood. Been making bread probably before you and I were even born. Grab some Beechak yelpers and tingle your taste buds. read more

Caught a rerun of Bizarre Foods on TV to find this hidden gem not far away. GPS needed to find it, don't blink; you'll miss it. This place including the bakery and meat pie baker next door are a nondescript hole in the Rego Park wall. The variety of breads, soft and firm are quite unique. We asked what each was and bought every one. Then a trip next door for the meat pies, again asking for a description. This time, buying 2 of each by type and shape. Stuffed with lamb or beef and onion, or butternut squash sweet with onion, each wrapped in a flakey dough. The 90 minute drive home was torture due to the amazing smells coming from our purchase. Needless to say, dinner was wonderful and well worth the trip. read more

This place was featured on Bizarre Foods on the Travel Channel which is what brought me to check this place out. The place itself isn't anything fancy but boy do they know how to bake up some great eats! Check out the samsas and meat pies and the melt-in-your-mouth breads at this hidden gem! I'm ecstatic I live within walking distance away and look forward to returning soon! read more

This bakery makes great tandoori bread, samsas (with meat or pumpkin) as well as any other seasonal baked items from the central asian region. Always fresh, reasonably priced, and can be ordered ahead. They even sell homemade frozen dough you can buy to make your own creations! read more

I found this place through Jimmy's (?) Bizarre Foods video, and was able to hunt this bad boy down. Pros: - their piroshky was money! (we ordered like 8 of them) Cons: - bread was kind of hard and chewy Overall: 3.5 stars. We were a bit confused when we first walked it because the place was a lot smaller than it looked in the video. They had a few danishes/cookies on the shelves that didn't appeal to us too much so we didn't know if we were in the right spot. The guy then came out and showed us two bread roll that was just made and hot We asked if he had any piroshky and he said they did but a couple doors down. Not sure if he owned both or what but when we got to the other place - we saw the piroshky. They were laid out and covered with a light towel. It looked kinda sketched at first because the place looked so empty but we ordered 6 piroshkys - walked back to the other bakery and paid. We ended up eating a few in the car and Danny liked it so much, we went back in and ordered two more! Had some the next two days, and it was just as delicious when we first had it. Overall good piroshky but that was it! read more

If you are in the area deff stop by for some lepyoshki and samosa one to die for!! Enjoy guys

Best place for fresh bread and crispy samsas. You will enjoy this place a lot. They have also been featured on a number of Resturant shows.

Not recommended at all. I saw great reviews but they are not consistent with what you get. On the left there is a restaurant, in the middle a to go place and on the right the bakery. The bakery didn't have many options and they sold me rugelach that was not fresh for at least a week. I also ordered rice pilaf that they charged $10 for a small portion. There is better and cheaper in rego park/forest hills. read more

Good bread fragrant and tasty. The meat pies were a bit hard and chunky (I was expecting a minced meat) The spinach (turnover) pies were pretty good. read more

This place is a gem. It's a little bit of a journey to get there if you're not already in Queens, but it's so worth the trip. The breads are all delicious and hold up quite well wen traveling. I live in CA, but whenever I'm in NYC, or have a friend traveling there, I make sure to get some breads from Rokhat. read more

When I got there the samsas were cold and became bland maybe I'll have to give them another chance, but definitely stay away from the spinach there's no way that one could be good. read more

Fresh baked rolls pretty good. Kind hard to find
