The Plove - Great soup and salads - Uzbek Near Me - Fairfield, Ohio

Beautiful restaurant. So many little details to appreciate. Kebabs were amazing. I definitely want to come back to try some of the different styled ones. The lentil soup was lovely. Very similar to Dahl, just a thinner consistency. Felt just like home haha. Wasn't the biggest fan of the Kuzacha Shurpa. I know for next time, it was just very subtly seasoned. I'm sure that's how the dish is supposed to be, just not my style. The only thing that upset me is they had a lot of stuff on the menu, that they didn't have. Such as some of the salads. They had a big selection of everything though. The service was great. It was slow when we went in, but it was around 3-4pm on a Saturday. We were served and seated very quickly. Definitely will be revisiting- and I'm curious , is it really open 24/7 haha. read more

Plove is in the location formerly occupied by "Julia's" (Julia Pitts) Southern Comfort restaurant off Dixie Highway in a small Fairfield strip mall. The atmosphere and decor was very inviting and traditional Russian (Uzebekistan) fair, which was delectable! I picked this spot for me and my friend Viveza. Me: Plov (THIS WAS SO FREAKING DELICIOUS! OMG) Fresh pressed fruit punch (cherries, berries) Barak soup (with beef dumplings) Her: (She loved everything, especially the mojito) Lamb Kebab Russian Moxnto (Mojito) Lentil soup What great food!!!! Did I mention that it was "I, I, I, I" who picked out the place???!???? Just go! Get everything WE had, and a few other food stuffs!!! Viveza's separate review: Plan a visit now! The taste of the food. Nothing short of exquisite. Flavors abound yet they're beautifully and dare I say, lovingly balanced. Close your eyes with a mouthful of the Plov dish and I promise you'll be transported to the Uzbek countryside in the kitchen of a loving "Xola." (auntie) read more

What a wonderful hidden gem! We were looking for something different and good- and this place did not disappoint. First time we had had UZEBEK cuisine. The service was amazing - our server walked us through ordering an authentic meal. Super cute and comfy decor. Check out the shots of what we ordered. We will be back! read more

Such a blast! Delicious food and kind servers made lunch a joy. My friend and I never had Uzbek food before so we asked for advice. One of the first recos was the kabob page. We both had a lamb kabob which was perfect. Well marinated with a flavorful sear and a good size for the price. I also had the lagman soup. I was so impressed by the hand pulled noodles and the spices in the broth. The dining room was also beautiful. It's not every day that i eat lunch lounging on a couch. read more

This restaurant is excellent. It is clean and the server was helpful in explaining some of the dishes. We started with Mantu, the dumplings were a perfect combinación of lamb and beef. My daughter ordered a Quazon Kabob and I ordered the Osh Plov. Both dishes were very good. There was a plate of salad and a basket of bread. Way more food than we could eat. Really enjoyed our meal and would not hesitate to recommend it. read more

So I came here with my son and his fiancé, for dinner after they looked at their new to them home that they're looking at purchasing. I found this on yelp and decided we needed to try it for dinner. We walked in and was immediately greeted taken to a seat that was basically three couches put together with two tables in between and a couple of chairs at the end so very comfortable very uniquely decorated on the inside, but I liked it. The service was amazing. The young lady that took care of us was very prompt and very helpful. She did miss one item that was ordered on our order for dinner, but they took it off the bell and trust me the person had way more food than they could eat anyway, because she ordered some soup as well as eating off of her future husband's plate and sharing some other items. I will admit I have no idea what I ordered. I just know it was beef with rice carrots beans, I think was in there, but it was amazingly delicious. I ordered bread to go with a meal and they brought out a huge loaf of bread that we all shared and I ended up ordering two more to go home one for me and one for my son and his fiancé. I will say that I'm very happy I came in here. My son ordered fish and he said it was delicious. My future daughter-in-law ordered a soup and she said it was delicious. I got a fruit drink. I think it was and it was quite tasty. My future daughter-in-law got hot tea, which she got a pot of and enjoyed overall, there was five of us sitting there for dinner and the bill came to just over $100 for everything including the take on bread and I'm gonna say that's not a bad price for the amount of food that we got and eight and took some home so very impressed. I would definitely come back again. Highly recommend this location if you're anywhere nearby and you like Uzbek style food. read more

No idea what we ordered, but everything was amazing! We asked our waiter to surprise us with menus items (we like to eat family style) and everything was to die for. The service was super good considering choppy English. Every item was fresh and full of flavor. Definitely worth the stop! Always support local read more

The Plove - Uzbek Near Me - Fairfield, Ohio

Honestly I was pleasantly surprised. We ordered plov, somsa, and green tea and it was all really delicious. The meat in the Plov was really tender and the carrots and raisins added great flavor to it as well. We ordered the tomato and cucumber salad that is typically eaten with plov and that was a cool and refreshing addition to all the meat and rice being eaten. We also ordered the Uzbek National Bread which came out warm and a was a great start to the meal. The service was great and I really loved the atmosphere inside the restaurant. The decor was really nice and even the couches to sit at added such a great touch to the place. They also have a photo booth area at the entrance where you get to take pictures with traditional clothing and accessories which was really fun for the group to do! If you're looking for Uzbeki food or even Turkish food I would definitely recommending The Plove out!! read more

Ok Fairfield fam! If you live in Fairfield and you haven't been here yet, you need to stop what you're doing right now and go eat at The Plove! Yes, even today on Thanksgiving, they are OPENNNNN!!! I've been here twice and I regret not coming more often. The food is absolutely banging and the service and ambiance are wonderful too. This restaurant outclasses its humble strip mall Dixie hwy location!! I brought my vegetarian friend here the first time we stopped in and there were SO many options. Even though kebabs & meat are featured heavily on the menu, there's a myriad of lovely light and veggie dishes to choose from. My favorite is the light salad, which is actually not very light at all - it's chunks of fried eggplant with cilantro, onions, tomatoes and a very creamy cheese in a sweet sauce. It's a bit reminiscent of general tso's lol but it's SO much better. We noticed that they do eggplant very well here in multiple dishes so if you're an eggplant fan like me, you'll love it here! Of course we did also try some meat in the form of the restaurant's name, the traditional plove. This is a rice & meat dish with carrots (? idk what they are tbh), chickpeas, barberries (I think lol) and it has some cinnamon & other spices in it. Clearly I'm clueless but this is so delicious. Great to share with the family. Actually we found all the dishes to be very sharable. I'm looking forward to all of my future experiences here and I hope you will support this absolutely incredible local business! They deserve it! Thank you so much for being open on Thanksgiving!!!! read more

The Plove - "Light salad" - eggplant - Uzbek Near Me - Fairfield, Ohio

This place is truly a hidden gem in Fairfield! Non descript on the outside with plenty of parking, once you step inside, you are surrounded by gorgeous furnishings and beautiful colors everywhere. It's a cozy space that is beautiful and warm. The food is equally as lush and delicious. I tried the layman soup with handpulled noodles and beef, delicious, comforting with subtle depth of flavor, the crispy cheese bored, the awesome falafel appetizer and the traditional somsa. Don't forget the bread!! The service was quick and really nice. Do yourself a favor and support this amazing local treasure. read more

This was an amazing find - hidden off Dixie Highway in a nondescript office building. Tired of our usual haunts, we decided adventure was the order of the day, so Uzbek food it was! And it was awesome. We had grilled liver kabob, greek salad, the manti (steamed dumplings with lamb/beef), and the barak (Turkish style - sort of). All of it was divine. While the servers had a touch of trouble with English (and my Uzbek/Russian are rusty), they made us welcome and no issues. The atmosphere and decor were cozy and luxe, Uzbek style I gather. It seems to be a community hangout - for tea, snacks, and conversation. If you want to take a step out of the ordinary - then pop in!! You won't be disappointed. read more

This place is within walking distance of my office and I never knew it was there. True example of a hidden gem. Had lunch there and was completely blown away by beautiful and vibrant setting, the amazing service and the explosive flavor of the delicious food. We tried the Somsa, several Kebab's and the most delicious dish I've ever had, the Lagman Soup. So many different flavor profiles. It was mind blasting. I hope this review reaches a lot of people. This is one restaurant I personally want to stay around for years to come. I can't wait to try something else on the menu. Definitely a repeat offender. read more

Ate here for lunch yesterday. Had the cucumber, tomato and onion salad (large portion), some somsa and the Lagman soup. Everything tasted great. Service was friendly and attentive. Note that all drinks are bottled. I ordered water and they brought me a bottle of water at no charge. Nice introduction to Uzbek food. read more

A welcome addition to the area. I was really excited and curious when I saw most of the dishes were Uzbek. The staff were very accommodating and courteous when I'm sure a lot of people aren't used to the food. They provided some recommendations and we went with the cheese borek, the mixed appetizers, the beef stew, and a lamb gyro. Really delicious flavors and definitely worth a visit! read more

The Plove - Uzbek Near Me - Fairfield, Ohio

This restaurant is amazingly cozy inside. It's smaller than you would think, and it gives off a "comfy living room" vibe, with plush chairs & pleasant surroundings. The staff there was friendly and helpful, quickly getting my take-out bag and answering questions I had about the restaurant. And then there was the wonderful, legit, authentic food. I got the Yogurtlu Chicken Adana: ground chicken chunks covered in a yogurt-based gravy, sitting on soft house-made bread, so that the bread soaks up that wonderful sauce. This was amazing - there was no filler in the ground chicken, but grinding the chicken allowed for the unique spices to become ingrained all the way through. And the yogurt gravy was amazing - with the right amount of zing to it. I also got the Lagman Soup, and one sip was enough to make me fall in love with it. Layers of flavor and spices that just have to be authentic, because I haven't tasted this fresh spicy-and-savory combination anywhere else. No question about it: this restaurant is the real deal. I enjoyed everything, and plan on going back, to get better acquainted with more of the menu. read more

Food was okay. Server was nice. The goblets on the table, one of them had crumbs in it somehow, so I didn't feel like things were cleaned well. They don't split bills. One bill per table. read more

Poor poor service. After being in the restaurant for over an hour, we still had zero food. We left after paying $5.60 for water and a can of Sprite. I showed up to take my husband out to lunch since I was off work today. I was really excited for him to try Uzbek cuisine since I like it so much. We thought we would try a new to me place since it was close to his office. I had heard the the food was good. We arrived about 15 minutes after opening and waited for several minutes in the waiting area. Since it's closed off from the restaurant, I finally called to see if someone would come seat us. As it connected, a man finally came out talking on his cell phone. He took us into the empty restaurant and we waited a minute or so for him finish his conversation and to tell us where he wanted us to sit. We ordered samsa, lagman, plov, and one other item. We were then informed there was no lagman today, and that the plov would not be ready for an hour. We then ordered the mixed kebabs, a dumpling soup and the samsa. I work with a population where English is not their first language, so I made sure I spoke clearly and pointed to the items on the menu. The server left the dining room for several minutes. As he delivered food to the single other table, we realized we didn't order drinks and that he was not filing up the glasses on the table. We asked for water and a sprite. He brought those and disappeared again. 45 minutes later, he came out. At this point, my husband's lunch hour was already over. We asked about our food. He looked puzzled. I pulled out phone to translate, and asked again about the items that we ordered. He had never even placed our order. We were in the restaurant for over an hour and had waited for food (while VERY slowly drinking a bottle of water and a can of Sprite) that was never going to come. Even if that initial mistake was made, he never once came back to ask if we wanted any food. By the time we were able to flag him down, it was way too late to get anything to eat. read more

Waited in an entry way for a couple of minutes to get seated, before made an eye contact with a staff member. After we were seated, sat there for 15 min, none brought us menus and we were completely ignored by all the staff. Got up and left and no one said anything to us. Ambience was good though, comfy seats =) read more

Our experience was awful. Ordered hummus, which was confirmed as part of our order, but which it turned out they were out of. We were told we wouldn't be charged for it. We were. When I called to complain, I was told I would have to call DoorDash (even though ours was a pickup order -- not a delivery.) I suspect I will have to notify my credit card company and dispute the charge. Beyond that, chicken kebabs were tough and very dry. We won't be going back and will warn others to stay away. read more

This place is lovely, and the waiter was attentive and knowledgeable. We were there for lunch and all four of us shared the spinach borek, which was delicious, and each had a soup. The Lagman and Dumgaza were particularly good! The only caveat is that they are a new, small restaurant, so don't go right at opening. read more

This restaurant has great food at reasonable prices, a very relaxing decor, superb seating which is soft and comfortable (honestly this is a place to try just for that). Our party of 5 all tried something different and we all agreed it was some of the best Mediterranean food we have had in awhile. Noticed some reviews that they had trouble with a language barrier. Don't let that stop you - just be patient and everything will be OK. PS: A great place to stop before a Jungle Jims run just north of the restaurant. read more
