One of the worst service experience in any restaurant. The waitress took forever to come and take our order. After ordering the food, we waited and waited and waited. The food took forever to come and when it did, there were missing items and the place was not even that crowded. The waitress hardly showed up at our table after taking order and once again after delivering food! The service was so bad that even if the food was good, it did not taste good any more! Don’t go here unless you have at least 2-3 hours and something to do while you wait and wait!

it was my birthday dinner and we wanted to have Mediterranean food. we always try new joints (especially those owned by locals). we live nearby and we saw this restaurant whenever we cross Boonton main street. So it was tough finding when we reached there and then we got to know its been moved but same street (like 200-300 feet far) anyway, we reached. it was Thursday evening, the restaurant was almost empty, only 2 tables were occupied. the server came and we placed our order Hummus with pita bread - it was amazing, I would definitely recommend any sort of hummus from their menu, but do try. - 4.5/5 Lamb chops - I asked for well done, but when it came I can say with full confidence, that it was medium rare. I asked the chef, and tell them it was not well done, but as per them, it's Uzbekistani way, and in their cooking style, it's well done. they did mention every spice and all - but I was not satisfied. though I could have asked for a replacement, but I don't believe in wasting food. there was 4 piece that comes with sides. I chose marinated onion and brown rice. after finishing 3 pieces, 4th piece was hard to chew. - 2.5/5 Chicken Kufta Kebab (spicy)- glad my wife enjoyed her meal. The only spice item was this kebab and by my standard it was mild. no worries, it was good, 2 big skewers filled with chicken kebab with fries and brown rice. it was soft-juicy and amazing. 4.5/5 except for the kebab, the meal was great, ambiance (as you can see from my pics) - was soothing and good. yeah, I can recommend this. I would definitely try their local cuisine next time.

Very happy I came. It is a very cute family owned restaurant. Some other reviews talked about slow or bad service. They are young and smiling. That is not bad service. What do you expect from a family owned restaurant. They do have some Mediterranean (non Uzbek) food, but they tell you that before you come(name of the restaurant). Overall great experience, great place. I would recommend.

It’s my 1st time and for sure will come more often when I’m in NJ. Great Food, Great Atmosphere, and very warm welcoming owner that takes a pride of her RICH Heritage. Thank you for such a great experience and for sure will come over and over again.

My husband and I had a wonderful experience dining at Uzbekistana Restaurant this evening. The flavors were fantastic. We asked our waitress for recommendations as it was our first time trying traditional Uzbeki food and WOW was it great!! Samsa, Chachvera, Kazan Lamb, Taug Plov- everything was spectacular. We will certainly return again and tell our friends about this spot!

My two friends and I were delighted with the food, the portions, and the friendly (not necessarily speedy) service. As my friend said, “This is not the place to go if you’re in a hurry.” I had the lamb kabobs and they were perfectly cooked to my medium rare request. Very tender. I ordered the chickpea side dish, which was a little spicy for my taste, but someone else might think it added a nice spark of spice to compliment the simply grilled meat. Hummus was delicious and served in a generous portion. My friends chose from the authentic dishes page of the menu and were very happy with what they got. Unfortunately, we were too full to find out what the desserts were. I suspect they would have been great.

A nice and sweet family owned and run restaurant. Serving Uzbekistan's traditional dishes , and all حلال. Glad that I got to know more about their cuisine and culture. Highly recommended.

This is a wonderful, clean, inviting restaurant with DELICIOUS food. I have never had a bad experience with anything. Once I commented that one of my kebabs was a BIT dry and they gave me one to take home in my leftovers! Very sweet people and very good food. Highly recommend.

Here is my take on this place. And for the most part, it is a favorable review. Pros- the food tastes excellent. I had the lamb kebabs and bought an extra beef skewer to try it. I picked the marinated onions and mashed potatoes to go with it (you pick two sides). The taste was excellent. The white sauce that comes with it was equally as good. So much so I could have drank a cup of that alone! The lady had a noodle dish that was also very tasty. The atmosphere is really cool as well. Flavor alone, I would come back and bring a friend to have them taste the food. Cons- the waitress, while very pleasant and nice, wasn't the most attentive. We were there a bit longer than we cared for waiting to have plates cleared and the check brought over. I blame it more on her being very young and this could be her first job in that sense. I wish the portion size was a little bigger for the meal but that is just my opinion as the girlfriend loved her meal and even brought some home with her. Lastly, one extra skewer (beef) we were charged 8 50 for. That is a very pricey single skewer to me. With all that said, I still think it was worth the visit. I just won't be coming often (because I am poor). Would recommend to anyone looking for some place new to try

It is a nice place but they need to be more clean. The bathroom was messy. The waitress was nice service was good. We ordered chuhchevera (traditional dumpling i guess), beef samsa, bakhora plov and tashkand plov. Dumpling and samsa were good. Fresh and delicious. Beef and lamb on the plov cooked very tender, soft. But one of the spice used was very overwhelming all over the dish. And basmati rice is not good for the traditional uzbek plov. Price point was fair. It is a place worth to try but they need some improvement.

Please come to here , if you want the best Mediterranean food !! Everything taste unbelievable. The service is amazing , our server was so sweet and kind. We loved this place .

The service was great, but the food was even better. Our server was very nice. The place is nice and clean. I recommend anything from their menu. On my last visit I got the lamb chops. They come in lollipop style where they wrap the end of the chop in foil paper so you won’t get your hands dirty. Overall, our experience was super good. I recommend visit this place. You won’t regret it.

Really good food and excellent service. Tried them for the first time recently and I can 100% recommend them to anyone in the area, it's worth trying. My first time with Uzbek food so I can't comment on the authenticity, but I was very happy with what I got.

I got a Med Delight. There is Barely Any Lamb. Just few crumbs. Should have more lamb in it.

I've been going here since last yr after every couple of months, their food is absolutely amazing!! The staff is very friendly as well!!! Their chicken kebab with marinated onions and potatoes, and chicken kofta kebab are absolutely amazing. We've also tried their lamb and that's really good as well. The chicken shorba was really good with the rice!! Definitely recommend !!

Fell in love with the amazing food. Never had Uzbek food before till this restaurant, and I have been missing out. Their lamb dumpling soup is out of this world. Everything here was extremely amazing, and the lady / owner is extremely nice and down to earth! Hands down amazing food!

Love this place. Always have a great meal and the staff is very friendly. BYOB always is nice as well. 10/10

The food was absolutely amazing! I've traveled a lot and lived in NYC and this was by far some of the best food I've had. Got the Baklajan, chochvera, Laghman, Kazan lamb, and Noqrai chicken. All of the food was so perfectly cooked and amazing flavors! Will definitely be going back!

I’ve never seen such a bad service. First of all, we waited about 10 minutes to be seated. It wasn’t crowded at all. There were many vacant tables. The hostess and the waiter just were giving us puzzled glances and watching us standing. Then it took about 40 minutes to get our order. The food wasn’t bad. But again. It took 15-20 minutes to get our drinks. Nobody hurried to clean tables of visitors who left. Though there were only 3 occupied tables including ours. But on the top of that was the restroom. DISGUSTING! I totally get it that sometimes people do a mess. But exactly this type of restroom made an impression that it was cleaned a looong time ago. Never again in my life!

Delicious food. We were so happy we decided to try it. We will come back to try other dishes. We loved their hummus, their pickled appetizer and our main dishes. Host is super nice. Place is clean and nicely decorated.

Fantastic food and service! It was our first foray into Uzbek food and we loved it! The owner(?) Was super nice! Can't wait to go back again!

Incredible. Everything was delicious. Brishmi shrimp was absolutely ridiculous. Manti was great, kebabs were outstanding. Such great food and so different. Don't pass this place by. What is Uzbekistan food? Closest description would be Indian meets Mediterranean.

Very good food! There was a very nice lady helping us here and there, seems to be the manager. The service with the other waiters was really slow. I had to ask for drinks 3 times and even water multiple times. Other than that, amazing food! Please improve the serving method:) Clean Place:)

Wow! The flavors! Oh my goodness, the flavors… I have been twice, and tried new things each time. Everything has been so delightful. And the portions are excellent! If dining alone, be careful, you’ll have leftovers! Friendly, humble staff who take a lot of pride in their food. They sometimes blush at the compliments they receive. Really, it is a fantastic, local dining experience. Come, bring friends, and your own alcohol should you choose (BYO), and enjoy the delicacy!

One of the only Uzbek kitchens in NJ , it has traditional food with some infusion , however very good quality food expect to wait due to fresh meal , vegetarian and vegan options .
