We also ordered a Shakshouka to go which is a rich dish of eggs poached in a sauce of tomatoes, olive oil, peppers, onion, and garlic, commonly spiced with cumin, paprika and cayenne pepper. Definitely a must try!! Very aromatic and really good. Great atmosphere - it's quiet so you can hear yourself talk. Menu is limited right now (think they don't actually have a menu but mentioned you can order 10 items). They do offer SAMSA which we'll have to try next time!

Twice a week it seems the cops are called...and this is during the winter. During the summer, the drunks are allowed to sit at a sidewalk cafe, and keep the neighborhood awake, while the owners play music on the street, from speakers. No wonder the cops are always called. Makes no difference what food they serve, they are unwelcome in this neighborhood, until they get their sh*t together. Do better in 2026

Cuisine: 9 Service: 7…read moreDecor: 7 Value: 9 Overall: 9 Since my favorite Uzbek restaurant Taste of Samarkand closed due to a fire, this restaurant has become my go to for food from that region. There are many other options in the area, but I have always come enjoyed this place, and now I treasure it more than ever before. The decor is a bit loud and gaudy for me personally. I always preferred the interior design of Taste of Samarkand or Art of Grill, but I'm okay with Stix's decor because it's bright and clean. More importantly, I love the food at this place. Every time I come here, it's absolutely fantastic. They shine at grilling skewers, so I'll start with that. You really can't go wrong, but I would always get the lamb, lamb ribs, beef, baby chicken, chicken w/ bones, and sea bass. The lola kebab and the chicken lola kebab are not bad, but definitely better at Art of Grill. For the more adventurous, try the veal sweet bread, veal liver, and lamb fat. The only kebabs I am not a big fan of here are the quail. As for appetizers, you have to get their flavorful Uzbek mantu. However, crispy cheburek and flaky samsa are both excellent too. Herring Garnish is very tasty as well. Moving onto salads, I typically order the Humus and Babaganush for dipping with the Tandoori Bread. Korean Carrot is also a nice starter. If you are fond of soup, then I highly recommend Osh-Potche. Lastly, Asian Pilaf is a nice way to end the meal when dining at an Uzbek restaurant, though I think their version is average. When all is said and done, every meal is always amazing. The cost of the meal is always reasonable. And a good time is always had by all every time.

Oh my God, this place was one of the best restaurants I had ever went to. I went on a date with my…read moreboyfriend and it was actually the best experience I ever had. The food was delicious and the ambience was amazing. The service was so nice. All the waiters were so welcoming and it was amazing. I love how the restaurant is all about culture and shows tremendous diversity. It felt like I was in another world. The steaks were to die for and the kebabs were amazing. The salads I can't even tell you how good they were, we of course, had to order to go. Prices are fair and overall I totally rate this 10 out of 10. It's great for dates parties or just a regular outing. And on top of that, they also do catering, which is so good to hear.

I came…read moreacross Art of Grill, and it looked dark and empty from the outside, but we saw a small sign outside stating there's a lunch special. Went inside, and it felt like I was transported elsewhere and not in NYC. I liked how the entire place was decorated. There's room to move around and private sections that are closed off with curtains. Food wise, there were two menus, one that was a tablet which had more options and this other large black book. I suggest looking at the tablet. It took a while to decide what we wanted as there were so many sections. I chose the two soups, which were the dumpling langman soup and the shurpa soup. One tasted like chicken soup but with lamb instead. However, both were pretty small. For the table, we got the Manti soup dumplings, which had minced beef inside with soup inside too and beware it is hot. Also, we got the shepherds salad, but they don't have feta cheese, so we got it without that one ingredient. I would suggest this restaurant if you're interested in trying something unique such as Uzbek food.

My Second favorite (Kosher) pizza joint in N.Y. is Mezze's…read more Their regular slice is solid. And Just the other week, I consumed a mock pepperoni slice. Though never tasting pepperoni before, I enjoyed the slice. A partner of mine had a spicy Sicilian slice. The first time she ordered it she loved it. But they seem to have changed it since, and she said it was never like the first time. Then we found out that different people make it in different ways at this establishment. The next time we ate at mezze's together they said they could put a spicy sauce on top of the slice. It was not the same. She ordered it for a third time when we went out to eat next and she said it was not the same. Mezze's whatever you did the first time with that slice let me suggest you go back to that cuz it worked. Thanks for the tasty food!
