  “Wow wow wow. Everything was a solid 10/10. No notes. Friendly staff, lovely atmosphere, so clean and a great selection of food to choose from. Authentic food that tastes so flavourful - not a single thing tastes bad or bland. All the food comes with some kind of sauce or accompaniment. Best Uzbek food in London. The honey cake to finish off was the cherry on top - it’s so tasty and not overly sweet. We had a passion fruit sorbet and banana ice cream as well - they have a massive ice cream selection as well with cones/tubs. Best restaurant I’ve been to in a long time. Will be back for sure. We spent around £30 each but we ate a lot for 2 people…we had 1 starter, 2 mains, 3 desserts and 2 pots of tea. We were absolutely stuffed and the portion sizes are nice and big as seen in the photos. You could definitely share a main between 2 comfortably. I recommend trying the authentic Uzbek tea as well, it was delicious.”

  “What a great place! The food was amazing, very fresh, homemade and super tasty! I had the Mastava soup with bread to start, the flavours were amazing and it made me feel like I was really trying authentic Uzbek cuisine. I then had the Plov with a side of Manti (dumplings) - such a nice meal all round. Another highlight for me was the super friendly service, the staff were so kind and welcoming and you could tell they were proud of the food and country that they are from! Thank you!”

  “Lovely staff, extremely welcoming! They will be ready to give suggestion and explanation about food and they will try to accomodate your requests as much as they can! I dined there by myself but I felt like going to visit friends, even though it was my first time there. I tried the borsch and vegetarian manti. At the end of the dinner I was treated to complimentary ice cream! Absolutely recommend this place, they are still small and a starting business, and they need all the love!”

  “It was my first time trying food from Uzbekistan, and it was absolutely delicious. Hikmat is such a talented chef, you can really taste the freshness of the food prepared here. The plov was my favourite as well as the honey cake! Everything was so yummy, I would strongly advise checking out this hidden gem of Streatham. Very friendly staff inside who make you feel welcome :) Thanks so much! 💖”

  “so yummy! tucked away next to Hyde Park you will find this stuffy labyrinth-like mall with electronic stores and small cafés. if you come here you are guaranteed authentic food that is delicious. i have to say though, it’s not the coziest place and it was cold but it’s a fun atmosphere i dont mind:). the price overall was a bit expensive IMO since the portions were quite small. but it is quite rare to find good uzbek food in central London so i guess you’re paying for the exclusivity… we tried the mastava with sour cream as a starter. the broth was so rich and buttery, a good amount of dill. the little meat pieces we’re super flavourful, and it had a good amount of veggies and rice. however i wish there was more salt! the plov was so nostalgic, absolute 10/10 but a quite small portion. still i wouldn’t change anything about the flavour, maybe the rice could’ve been a bit more fragrant and fluffy. a couple more berries and pepper too but its ok i loved it and with the caraway seeds it was delectable. our favourite was the manti, they’re so juicy and soupy and the meat is really tender. the sour cream is a must with it!!! such a nice pairing. they also came steaming and fresh <3 the somsa were nice, i wish the filling was a bit more generous and the house sauce could’ve been more exciting, i think it was just like grated tomato lol. yummy though! service was super nice, a tiny bit slow (they served one dish at a time instead of all at once but that’s just a preference of mine so i dont mind :)). of course this isnt comparable to what you would get in eastern europe and central asia but if you can’t go and you’re feeling homesick, I would recommend this. Or if you’ve never had Uzbek food!”

  “Oh my goodness — I can’t begin to explain how fantastic and authentic the food is! I craved my family’s home cooked Uzbek food and wasn’t sure what to expect but it was like my Babushka was in the kitchen cooking. I almost cried from happiness — the service and food is FANTASTIC.”

  “This is such a cute little spot, very tucked away inside the Bayswater shopping centre. The vibe is cozy and welcoming, and the customer service was really good. The food didn’t take too long to arrive, which was a plus. They also serve tea in different flavours, and it was genuinely unique. I’ve had tea in many places, but this one was very different, which I really liked. That said, the menu is quite meat-heavy. My friend, who is vegetarian, struggled to find enough options, so we ended up ordering something small and leaving. I also don’t eat beef or pork, which limited my choices. I think pure vegetarians or those with dietary restrictions might find it difficult here. However, if you do eat meat, there are plenty of dishes to choose from.”

  “Tucked away in Queensway is a hidden gem - some of the best Central Asian (Uzbek) food you can find. Dishes are more delicately flavoured but are still incredibly delicious. Their Borscht was warm and comforting, perfect for the weather and converted me, someone who isn’t a huge fan of beets. The Laghman was also just as heartwarming and earthy, with perfectly cooked noodles. Their Somsa was beefy and very more-ish. Highlights however are their Plov - a rice dish with carrots, sultanas, lamb and served with pickles, and their Honey Cake, which the owner said was made by his wife and tasted not too cloyingly sweet. The service was kind and attentive. The setting was a bit tight, but this was well-worth the trip down to try.”

  “Excellent and delicious 😋 food. It was yummy - the Uzbek 🇺🇿 dumplings were the best - well seasoned and just great. The black tea was really nice and the atmosphere was great - the music and person serving was so friendly and very welcoming. Would highly recommend this restaurant in Queensway and will be going back again.”
