    Samarkand Restaurant - The bread was yum!

    Since I have never had Uzbeki food before, I was excited to come here to try whatever they had, and…read moreI was not disappointed. With a bit of research online beforehand, I decided to order some of the most common dishes in Uzbeki culture, and ended up getting quite a few dishes so I could try a bit of everything. I enjoyed pretty much all the food that I tried. My favorite dish was the samsa because the beef and lamb were seasoned very well, the puff pastry was crispy, and the sauce added a very flavorful layer of succulence. The mantu also had very seasoned meat and tasted like a bigger version of Chinese soup dumplings. I dipped some of it in the chili pepper flakes that my server gave me and it tasted amazing. The lagman soup was also extremely flavorful. It had a good amount of vegetables and very tender beef and hand pulled noodles in bone broth. I also absolutely loved the plav which had super tender and flavorful beef, and carrots, pilaf rice, and chickpeas that were seasoned very well. The amount of oil in the dish also provided a layer of flavor I believe. My friends ordered the khasip and the kebabs and I tasted some of the meat, which was not as tender but still very flavorful, especially the kebabs. The sausage, which contained minced beef, heart, lungs, and rice, resembled what I had in Northern China when I lived there. The nostalgic factor made me enjoy the sausage a lot as well. After lunch, I went next door to the Samarkand Market, and was pleasantly surprised to find many Russian products including chocolate, kvas, pelmeni, and more. I even spoke to the store owners in Russian and picked up their newspaper. The entire restaurant and market experience made me super happy and I will definitely return.

    I was excited to try this place as it is one of the only known Uzbek food in MN and I wish I could…read moregive this a higher rating. There was a problem with one of the dishes, so that's why it's only at a 3. My friend and I got the lagman, tandoori bread, assorted shish kebabs , and small plov to share. Overall, the food was flavorful and portions were generous. We really enjoyed the lagman's deep flavor. The bread was just okay, as well as the plov. We got a small size, but it was still pretty big. The assorted shish kebabs came with lula, lamb, and chicken. The lula and lamb were great! However, I took a bite of the chicken skewer and it was cold and ended up being raw. We checked the rest of the chicken kebab and found that while the middle pieces were cooked, then ends weren't. We brought this to the server's attention and he was very apologetic and immediately took it away for us. It was not the server's fault for sure. He informed us that he would let the cooks know and offered some alternatives (1. they remake the chicken skewers, 2. remake the whole dish (and I guess we would still be charged?), or 3. just remove it from our check). We chose the third option. Overall, service was friendly and nice. They were just swamped because there was also a banquet that was going on. I wonder if that also contributed to what happened with our food. While I was disappointed, I am willing to give this another try some time later. I would just be hyperaware of how meats are cooked.

    I love Beirut. It has quickly became one of my favorite local spots…read more It's great for both sit-down and takeout. Their online ordering system is super easy to use, and ordering in person is just as smooth. The menu has such a good variety, everything from fresh salads to wraps and kebab plates. Honestly, everything I've tried has been so good. The garlic sauce is a must, it's incredible. My go-to is the shawarma unwrapped because you get a huge portion and can build it exactly how you want. The food is fantastic and the portions are very generous. The space is clean with plenty of seating, and the staff is amazing. They're so friendly and always make sure you have everything you need.

    Finally made it down to Beirut Street Food. We had been big fans of "The Port" for almost 20 years…read more The Sultan remains one of my all time favorite meals. Lebanese food is just one of those foods that we can't live without. So while we were sad when "The Port" closed, we were excited to hear they were opening Beirut Street Food. Today we ordered their Kabob family meal. That comes with a lot of our favorites. The choice of 4 kabobs, we picked chicken and kafta, 2 vegetable kabobs, salad, their delicious lebanese rice, bread and the addictive toum. We added a few grape leaves and extra bread to snack with that toum. Those who know love bread and tourm. Everything was excellent! I have tried multiple times to make kafta at home and it never is as good as they make it. The chicken is always cooked perfectly. A nice char from the grill, and tender and juicy on the inside. The grape leaves a nice balance of sour from the leaves filled with savory rice and meat. So good. The vegetables were grilled perfectly. Not overly grilled, sweet with a little crisp. Everything was just as we remembered. They are now located in a strip mall with plenty of parking and a few seats inside. While the Sultan is not on their menu., they do have lots of other tasty options that we look forward to returning for.One of our favorite places!
