OMG best of the best Uzbek food!! Thank you owner for your hospitality! I don't know from what to start... Tashkent salad was so fresh and delicious, the portion is huge. Shurpa can't describe the freshness beauty and the taste. Lula was soooooooo juicy 😋 We could not finish all kebabs but beef Was tender and just wow. Definitely will be back
Today, we had a worker lunch at our office and ordered food from Omar Khayam on Coney Island Ave. I specifically requested a grilled bronzino, even though it wasn't on the menu, and they said they could accommodate it. However, when I opened the box, I discovered that it was actually a fried fish. I tried calling the restaurant immediately but couldn't get through for about 15 minutes. Finally, when I did reach them, they initially blamed me for placing the order incorrectly. It wasn't until someone intervened and asked about the problem that they admitted to the mixed-up order and promised to send a grilled fish.
I was disappointed because these workplace gatherings are rare, and I couldn't enjoy the meal with my colleagues. I ended up with just grilled tomatoes, which had a meat flavor due to being cooked with meat on the same grill. It was pretty disgusting. I called to complain at 12:20, and the replacement order didn't arrive until around two o'clock. To top it off, they asked me to return the fried fish, even though no one had touched it. This was definitely a new experience for me.
Unfortunately, I never received an apology from the restaurant. The waitress had a bad attitude, and the overall service was subpar. As a result, I won't be ordering from them again, and our company won't either. Their customer service was terrible, and I can't help but wonder who will end up eating that fish which sat in our office for nearly two hours.

My wife and I walked in, and it was packed but it was Sunday late afternoon. The service was top-notch. The food was amazing and authentic. Their prices and the atmosphere were great too. We can't wait to go back.
Fantastic Uzbek restaurant! Brighton and the surrounding areas have a lot of Russian and Uzbek restaurants but this is probably my favorite, been here a few times.
Every time the food has been fresh and very well made. My personal recommendations are the "potatoes homestyle," the samsa, the manty, and the kebabs. All of the kebabs were pretty tasty but the lamb ribs were definitely the best.
Why I am I giving it 4/5 if I like it so much? There is a 10% service charge in small letters on the menu. If the prices aren't high enough to pay appropriate wages, then that should be built into the price of the dishes. Or just trust customers to tip appropriately. I usually tip 20% and I was confused if I still need to tip 20% on top of the service fee, or if this was considered part of the tip.
I'll happily revise my rating to 5/5 if they get rid of the service charge. If you're in the area definitely try this place, but be aware of the service fee.

Place is incredible. A friend brought me there - it was my first time trying Uzbekistan food - mind blown. From amaizng prices to hige portions from great service to the actual finger-licking food - I loved everything. Go there on purpuse, even if you are not in the area. Go there deliberately, you will thank me.
Service sucked big time but food was delicious. Liver, chicken and beef kebabs had great flavor. Salad was fresh and lagman was good too.
This restaurant could pay better attention to their customers.

Amazing food - I've been on the search for a place since another restaurant in the area closed. If you like central Asian cuisine this is a great place to go. If you drink, you may want to BYOB! Else, just enjoy some delicious kebabs, rice, salad and dumplings
