Chorsu Restaurant

Love going to this place on any special night out with family or friends. The place has the best Uzbek food hands down. My favorite dishes would consist of their Lagman, their kebab, and their manti.
First the lagman: their Lagman is like no other! It’s perfectly well done and has some sort of a secret recipe because I never had the opportunity to replicate it in the same way. The perfect blend of noodles and beef will defiantly bring satisfaction.
Their kebab: This place is know for the kebab. Has to be my favorite because the meat is cooked really well and just simply tastes amazing! You can hear the juice from the meat come out from every bite !
Manti: The manti is another dish that I’ll never be able to replicate as good as theirs. They have just the right amount of meat inside. Overall this dish is just amazing and will have you lick your fingers after your done ! :)
I highly recommend visiting this place. The employees are nice and friendly. It would, however, help out to know some Russian when coming here. Overall, ⁵⁄₅ !

Excellent lamb kabob. The spices are unique and bring out the best of the charred smoky lamb and fat. It reminds me of Uighur lamb kabobs that are popular as street food throughout China (and available from some guy on 8^th avenue and 60^th street in Sunset at night) but it’s not nearly as spicy and the meat is on a whole other planet. It’s deeply smoky, succulently tender and slightly sweet from the marbled fat and savory/​smoky/​salty/​slightly Uzbek Spice Blend.
My dad’s Arab, I’ve been force-​fed every cut of lamb imaginable. I’ve also eaten shish kabob from every other Middle Eastern place in BK and only First Oasis can match this for tenderness and juiciness.
Each «stick» is served a la carte, ontop of slivered onions. It’s best enjoyed with uzbek tea and round bread (basically a fresher, crunchier Turkish homebread).
Salad is tomato & cucumber, slivered on a mandolin and dressed with a light dill vinaigrette.
I have not tried the plov. I need to come back.

Amazing! A humble restaurant off of MacDonald Ave is a wonderland of Uzbek food, for cheap! $ 100 in all to feed five people who could barely fit into their pants after a meal. Here are the highlights:
1) Tomato salad: marinated with onions for seemingly a week, it’s vinegary, peppery, and buttery
2) Samsa and manti: both have marinated chunks of meat and onions, one covered by delicious chewy dough, one encased in pasta, both mind-​blowingly good
3) Plov with meat: I’ve had a lot of plov (pilaf) in my day and even tried making it myself, but I could never come close to this. They use a mysterious and great combination of spices and fill it with caramelized carrots. As good as plov gets.
4) Kebabs: get all of them. They have unusual meats (liver, chicken hearts, lamb ribs), but to a one they’re all juicy and flavorful.
All the above for two people would be about $ 25. The surroundings are plain and the service is slow, but you can’t get Central Asian food this good anywhere else in New York.

This place is complete garbage! the fat women that served us was very RUDE and the food was tasted like it was made by some amateurs! after politely letting the women know that there are certain spices/​ingredients are missing from the food that was served, she rudely claimed she’s «from Tashkent» and knows how to prepare the food! Even after my friend politely tipped her, she still was rude!
The crazy part was when i found out this place charges FOR EVERYTHING separately!, for tea, for salad, etc.
Again, please don’t let this taste of food fool you! if you’re looking for good Uzbek food, This is NOT the place to go! and I hate to say it but this is an embarrassment for a place that supposedly serves Uzbek food!

Uzbekistan restaurant with authentic tasty food.
Meat Pockets– similar to soup dumplings it was steamed but much bigger. the meat was hard, but the skin on the outside was moist and flavorful, topped with dill, a nice presentation. You dip it with a sort of yogurt/​sour cream. Tasty.
Mostava– rice soup, bland with small chunks of meat for 4 bucks it wasnt worth it. Id skip.
Shurpa– clear soup with veggies and meat, tasty but the meat was very tough.
Turkish bread– came piping hot, crunchy and delicious.
Lamb shishkebab– okay, quite tasty though the portion was tiny.
Salad– tomatoes, lettuce, cucumber and onion, bland, pass.
Very full, must try!
