Uzbegim The feel of Uzbegim is a small restaurant near a college campus. Plain decor with the occasional noise from a bug being zapped. The food: Kazan Kebab - slow roasted lamb chops served with sliced onions. These were very flavorful and tender. Manti - we ordered beef. Six large dumplings that were served with a yogurt sauce. Delicious. Assorted Dolmas - I'm not normally a fan of dolmas since I'm usually thinking the tart, cold, Greek style. These were warm and like vegetable wrapped dumplings. Kimchi - seems kind of random, but we wanted veggies and this was good kimchi. Chaykhana Pilaf - rice and lamb. Solid. Xinjiang Fried Lagman - hand pulled noodles so they're nice and chewy. Pretty good. Lowkey, good food, good prices. read more

Always great food, our "go to". Not even ones we felt disappointed and we go on average bi-weekly. Family favorites are wedding pilaf and pelmeni. Service is nice and, very attentive and patient. If you need more sour cream or onions, that's never a problem and they won't charge you for it. A lot of times I can call ahead so the food gets to the table by the time we arrive- we have our "usual order" Ambiance is very low key but always very clean and orderly. People are sweet. My family consists of Chinese, Brazilian and Russian Americans and we all love it without exceptions! read more

My friend wanted to have dinner on a patio, so we decided to try this place. The patio is nice, and it was lively. There's indoor seating as well. Sometimes there was a language barrier, but we were able to order with no issues. There's free street parking, and I was able to get a spot right in front of the restaurant. Love: lamb & chicken samosas (seasoned filling, good bread, tasty sauce); wedding style pilaf (good portion, seasoned well); naan (large portion, delicious); lamb chops (seasoned well, cooked perfectly, great value) Like: service (slow but kind) read more

Uzbegim feels more like visiting someone's home than going to a restaurant. The place is set inside what looks like a regular house, with a large patio area that gives it a cozy and relaxed atmosphere. Seating is self-serve, and a server comes by to take your order, which made the experience feel casual and welcoming. We ordered the wedding pilaf and kebab. The wedding pilaf had great flavor and was satisfying, although it was a little oily for my personal taste. The kebab was the highlight for me -- very juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. We sat out on the patio, and it was such a pleasant spot to enjoy dinner. One thing to note is that you pay inside at the counter when you're finished. Service was straightforward and efficient. I can see why this place received Michelin recognition. The food feels authentic, comforting, and made with care. Overall, I think it deserves the praise and is definitely worth visiting if you want delicious Uzbek food in a unique, homey setting. read more

Looking for the perfect bite after a walk in centennial park? Look no further than Uzbegim. I went with a friend and her dog. There is also plenty of street parking nearby. The area can be a bit rough at times so make sure to lock your doors and put away valuables before heading into Uzbegim. It's so nice that it has a covered outdoor patio with heaters and the waiter even brought us each a plush blanket. Paired with a pot of green tea we were already in maximum cozy vibes- when the food arrived we were immediately comforted but the fresh flavors of each dish. We got the lamb samosas and Assorted Golupsi. Each dish was filled with plentiful amounts of meat and mild spices. The bread of the samosas was delicious, crisp and still soft. The assorted golupsi reminded me of my mom's homemade stew in the best way with soft carrots, roasted potatoes and cabbage as well as the lovely grape leaves. The service was fast and food arrived within 5-10 minutes of ordering. The wait staff was a one man show but he was kind and quick which is always a great pairing. I'd definitely go back and bring friends/family to enjoy more dishes. The pilaf looked amazing as well as the honey cake! read more

I'm giving 5 stars because the authenticity here is unmatched. It's an unassuming little spot, and when we arrived, there was nearly no one there. It was 2pm, but regardless, the place was quiet. They did not have half of the menu, though, so keep in mind that if you go you might have to choose from fewer options. For example, I wanted to try the noodles, which they did not have. Here's what we tried: Kemal Kebab (Lamb with potatoes): 9/10 - Some of the yummiest potatoes I've had! They came whole but were cooked in a rich sort of oil, and the lamb literally fell RIGHT off the bone. So good. Manti Dumplings: 8/10 - The beef inside was slightly dry but the dough casing the dumplings was SO yummy. I loved the texture. Also, the yogurt sauce is a good addition. Wedding Fried Rice: 8.5/10 - Lovely flavor to this! I normally don't like fried rice but it was rich, sweet, and saucy. Not dry like most I've had. The lamb was pretty plentiful on top as well. I don't think this place is overhyped. It might be underhyped, despite its Michelin guide recognition. I'll definitely come back to try the noodles and the naan. read more

The restaurant is pretty easy to find as it is located on the corner and there is a small sign out front. Surprisingly, there is some street parking very close by. I was able to find several spots less than half a block away. I did not notice any handicapped spaces, but that is not under the control of the restaurant. You must go up steps to get to the entrance door, unless there is a ramp along the other side of the building which I did not investigate. There is also a small step at the door. You enter a small waiting/ seating area with a couple tables. The counter to place your order is to right as you enter. There is more seating in the rear of the restaurant. I was greeted as I entered and given a menu to review. The host was helpful in describing the different dishes and making recommendations. After ordering I waited in the area near the door. They also have several grocery items available. The food took 15-20 minutes to arrive. It was very well packaged as a to go order. It was still hot when I arrived at my destination a few minutes later, and nothing spilled on the way there. The Olivier salad was an elevated egg salad. While not earth-shattering, it was a very pleasant start to the meal. The Uyghur fried noodle was very good. It was a relatively simple dish with good flavor and a healthy portion of beef. It was quite filling and reheated well the next day. The kufte was another winner. Again, a rather simple recipe but very well executed. For those looking for a less than common culinary experience, Uzbegim offers a great opportunity to try some excellent food. read more

Starting off, the staff was super helpful and friendly! The restaurant was very clean and had nice outdoor seating. This is my first time trying Uzbek food and it was great! The meat with the fried noodles had an amazing flavor and the noodles were thick and yummy! The lamb was great as well! There was plenty street parking near the restaurant when I went. Definitely recommend coming here and will be back! read more

Was very excited to try this Uzbek spot! Of course I had to order the manti (dumplings) , they were just the right amount of savoriness. Buttery and delicious! Also ordered the central asian version of naan which was ok. The Shurpa soup was also great. It had lamb, carrots, potatoes, dill and other veggies. I am looking forward to trying other dishes next time! read more

Found this from the Michelin recommended list. It's a little out of the way of downtown Nashville in a neighborhood. The place had only a couple of diners in its very simple dining area- which was surprising given its recognition. Another reviewer's note we read was no lie- they literally don't have half of the items they claim to on their menu. Honestly, they should redo their menu or give you a heads up in advance. The service is sub-par and you then realize that the food is why this place is recognized. Its menu is unique Uzbek fare and the food is flavorful. The lamb is stewed perfectly and you must try. We also loved the honey cake and roasted potatoes. I'm glad we tried this place but will probably not return due to the service and very limited menu. read more

We were visiting Nashville and excited to see an Uzbek restaurant, so we drove 20 minutes to get there. There's no accessibility for anyone with disabilities and parking was not easy. The staff was not very welcoming. There was a basket of silverware and napkins on the table. The utensils were dirty. We asked for clean ones. The food was awful. The chicken and cheese samosa was tough chicken with tons of onions and the bread was chewy. The golupsi looked nothing like the menu picture and they were not good. The meat cutlets were still pink inside. The lamb shawarma came out much later than the other entrees for one of the people in our party even though it's considered a starter. The server had zero personality and kept handing the dishes to the wrong people. Once the food was dropped off, she did not return one time. We had to flag her down for the check. She looked at our plates that were all at least 3/4 full and asked if we wanted to-go boxes. She didn't even ask if there was an issue seeing no one ate their food. We spent $65 and left. It was terrible. Not sure how this place got a Michelin rating. We definitely won't be back when we visit Nashville again. read more

We had such a great experience here! We ordered the samsa, lagman, dumpling soup, and honey cake for dessert. Everything was incredibly delicious and tasted like it was homemade with care. The flavors were authentic, comforting, and reminded us of home. The portions were generous, and every dish was fresh and full of flavor. If you're looking for authentic Uzbek food in Nashville, this place is definitely worth visiting. We'll definitely be back! read more

Fantastic! I was in Nashville visiting for work and wanted to check out Centennial Park. Was looking for somewhere nearby for some lunch and came across Uzbegim. Having never tried Uzbek food before, this was a no brainer! Highly, highly recommend trying something off the grill. The Tovuq chicken kebab I tried was SO juicy and tender and delicious. It came out hot and fresh, with a great char and spiced to perfection. The skewer was complemented with thinly sliced raw onion, which were pretty mild and sweet. If I ever have a chance to make it back here, I will definitely try other items off their grilled menu. I also got the Fried Laghman noodle dish, and this was very tasty as well! Generous amount of meat with great flavor. The handmade noodles were chewy and thick, and despite being fried, it was not too heavy or oily. Loved the very subtle sour vinegar/lemon in this dish and good amount of veggies to round it out too. I had ordered the Uzbek bread as well, which surprised me with how big it was. Especially for the price, I was expecting something really small and it's actually huge. In my opinion, this was just okay, not a lot of flavor but beautifully presented and good value for sharing if you come hungry! Service was friendly and prompt. Restaurant was pretty quiet when I was there for an earlier lunch time. Upstairs they have a small store where you can buy breads and pantry items to go. read more

There is a reason this restaurant has been recommended by Michelin. The food here is incredible. I had no idea what to expect when my son invited us to join him for dinner at an Uzbek restaurant. I went with an open mind and this place did not disappoint. I can't wait to go back and try other items on the menu. Avoid the tourist traps. Make a reservation here and you will have a memorable and delicious experience. read more

Delicious food and great service! It was nice it was open so late and had nice outdoor seating.

Menu with sharp, clear photos and excellent written descriptions. Server was great. Food was exceptional- my chicken soup was the best I have ever had. Small place so I'd recommend reservations. read more

I have been very interested in visiting this place, as I've heard it mentioned in foodie spaces. Not every dish was a home run, but soups, desserts were. Rice dishes were fine, but not spectacular. Biggest growth opportunity: service! Don't expect a lot but refilling drinks, clearing dishes prior to dessert, main dishes coming out at same time and not with 10 min difference among folks at the table, would elevate the experience of service. If you're interested in trying Uzbequi food; it's a good intro. I'll go back for sure- but may stick to soups and dessert next time. read more

Saw this place on Nashville Hidden Gems and was rather mad that I didn't know about it earlier. Over the years of going to Elliston Pl, and even eating at Michelangelo's, I was very pleased to see another Uzbek restaurant here in Nashville. This place truly is a hidden gem. I went in knowing it would be good for Halal food. The menu was easy to read and the food was delicious. I got the fried Uyghur lagman. I also got an order of Uzbek bread. The staff were friendly and I definitely will be back. They really improved the look on the inside from what I remember going in to Michelangelo's. In fact, there were other people in there ordering pizza. So they either share the space or are related to the owners. As far as I know, the parking is free in the back as long as you are visiting a business at Elliston Place. I highly recommend. read more

If you're thinking of coming here, do it! They have sweets and coffee too if you're feeling like a decadent treat. Great place, glad I came! read more

Premade samosa. Even icy-cold inside when serving. There was even not an apology. Every time I came here the food became worse. This time is the worst. Don't they even know how to use microwave? Reasonably doubt they changed the chef or anything. Recommended a few months ago, but DEFINITELY NOT RECOMMENDED NOW! read more

Do not go without calling first!!!!!! We went at 6:00 pm on a rainy, cold Monday. Open signs flashing everywhere. Dingy looking place, but we expected that. Waitress looked shocked to see us enter. She asked if we had reservations (they don't have a real website, I saw nothing about reservations on Yelp, and no one would expect that to be an issue at such a place.) Though only 2 tables inside were occupied, she told us we'd have to sit outside. The only tables outside big enough for the 3 of us were all uncovered, in the rain (and they obviously stay that way, as they were warped and disintegrating). No thanks. read more

Shared with Michaelangelo's Pizza, this spot finally got a sign on the door so people can see that it's there! Has a few parking spots, space inside is pretty big. Dark though and the fans cause the lights to seem like they're flickering. Came on a Saturday at 1PM with a total of 6 people, and they ran out of noodles. I came here specifically to get the laghman so I didn't get anything, although I did try bites of others' food. Generally, food was lacking flavor - the nan (traditional Uzbek bread) was soft inside and had an almost crunchy bottom but didn't taste like much and didn't come with any dips. Tried a bite of the to'y (plov) and choyhona (also plov), lamb in to'y definitely needs more flavor although it was soft, didn't get any choyhona lamb but my friends said it was dry (it looked dry), they liked the char on it though. The rice felt oily and also didn't have much flavor although the chickpeas in the to'y was good. Friend found an eyelash in the choyhona on the egg. Portions were on the smaller side for sure although prices mostly reflected that at about $14 post-tax. People in my group were definitely disappointed that there were no more noodles at what seems like a reasonable time to eat lunch. I probably won't be back - if not for the rest of the group, I would've just left without getting any food. I've gone to Osh a handful of times and they never ran out of noodles, I'll probably just continue going there. read more

Surprising Uzbekistan restaurant near Centennial Park. My friend and I were looking for a delicious departure from the standard American/Mexican dining experience and found this place on Yelp. As we approached the restaurant, we could smell something enticing on the grill emanating from this restaurant. The food did not disappoint! We wanted to try everything on the menu and ordered rice, kebabs, salad, soups and bread. There was plenty to eat and enough leftover to take home. There's also a small market inside where you can pick up traditional Uzbeki snacks and food. All around fun, enticing experience and the servers were engaging and attentive. We'll be back! read more
