Very good! I never have had Uzbek food and i was suprised how delicious and home cooked the food is. I was also liked how the staffed recommended to eat like they do with hot green tea. I definitely feel that i got more than a great meal but a cultural immersion. Will recommend other to come here

I came here for dinner for my friends bridal shower and we had a great time! I love the interior / outside area, very beautiful. The food here is absolutely amazing and very delicious! We tried various appetizers and entrees and everything was so good! You can’t go wrong with what you order. I highly recommend the cheese or spinach appetizer, the meat skewers, and the flat garlic potatoe fries!

uzbekistan is one of the best restaurants in all of philadelphia! staff are usually russian speaking which makes communication way easier for the large russian speaking community here in northeast philadelphia and the food is top tier. i highly recommend the soups - and if you somehow have room for dessert, which can be hard with how filling and delicious the main course and appetizers are, the ice cream has so many varieties and is delicious (the one in photo is pistachio). thank you for the great food !

They don't sell alcohol. Repeat. They don't sell alcohol. You need bring it with you. Soup with dumplings and shashlik are great. Worth driving from Philly!

Great food, cute and cozy atmosphere, I was so satisfied by food that I couldn’t even eat everything and took it to go. Delicious, fresh and tasty!

We have been coming here for many years, since the original location. My daughter grew up eating here and chose to celebrate her 18th birthday at Uzbekistan. Even though this was always her top choice, I still looked at several other restaurants and event halls and I can honestly say that I had the most pleasant, easy and affordable experience scheduling the event here. The party was beautiful, the space and food were phenomenal and the staff went above and beyond to ensure she has the perfect day thank you for everything!

My favorite place in the northeast by far. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making you feel like you’ve stepped into Uzbekistan. The food is incredible—freshly baked bread, flavorful kebabs, and the plov was outstanding. Everything tasted authentic and made with care. Service was just as impressive. Easily one of the best dining experiences in Philly.
