Everything was great. Nice atmosphere, busy but not too loud. Only complaint is that the uzbaki (a $25 dish) came with a mountain of rice but a single small lamb shank. It was delicious but this is a meat dish and it was 90% rice. I definitely would go back, though (just not for the uzbaki).

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Delicious, homemade tasting food. The lamb and chicken were so tender you didn’t even need a knife. The service is kind and efficient, and there’s plenty of indoor seating. Parking is easy thanks to the large strip mall lot. We’ll definitely be back!

We recently dined in here, and everything from food to service was impressive. We started with the mantu as our appetizer. They were supposed to serve 8 pieces but accidentally brought 7. As soon as we mentioned it, they not only corrected it but generously offered us 3 extra pieces - truly great customer service! For entrées, we tried the chicken karahi, beef chapli kabab, and lamb kabob with white rice. All dishes were served with warm naan, and each item was flavorful, well-cooked, and comforting. The highlight of the meal was definitely the sheeryakh. It instantly reminded us of rasmalai. So creamy, rich, and absolutely delicious. A must-try dessert! Overall, great food, quick service, and a satisfying experience. We’ll surely be back the next time we visit the DMV area!
