“ THE HIDDEN GEM. Menu isn't huge but it houses some Russian classics. Service was good enough. We asked for a private table and got sat in this den with pillows. Haha. It was cool, take your shoes off experience. Dark lighting though. ”

“ Lots of good food and excellent service. The soups were excellent, as were the hachapuri. The potatoes that came with the herring were a hit too. Nice atmosphere. I'm happy I found the food I grew up eating nearby. ”

“ Great food, excellent service and everything was cooked fresh. We (9 people) ate there last night and were very pleasantly surprised by the good food and service. I definitely would recommend this place and we plan to visit again. ”

“ Love Silk Road Choyhona's cooking. Authentic and flavorful Plov and tomato salad to accompany it, Golubtcy - stuffed cabbage leaves, Samsa with meat and sweet pumpkin Samsa are our family favorites! Service is quick and waiters are caring. They always make sure that their little patrons get their order first, can you imagine?! Nice ambiance, good parking. Absolutely advise this place for family and friends gatherings. Rahmat, dear Silk Road Choyhona! ”

“ We ordered food from choyhona place for New Year's Eve, and everything was absolutely delicious! The quality was so impressive that we ended up placing another order the very next day The plov was fresh and flavorful--absolutely perfect. The Olivier salad was also fantastic; we added some onions to suit our personal taste, and it was just right. The manti, both with meat and pumpkin, were incredibly delicious and clearly freshly made. Somsa are delicious as usual, we ordered ten Somsa for New Year's Eve and ordered more next day yep it was thaaat good. This place truly exceeded our expectations, and we'll definitely be recommending it to friends and family, especially for catering. Thank you for making our celebrations extra special, again. ”

“ This is an absolute hidden gem. We stopped in at couple times and absolutely loved everything we ordered. The staff was very nice and pleasant. Our favorite would be the grilled chicken wings- absolutely amazing. The Crispiest Skillet-Fried Potatoes- loved!Potatoes seasoned with fresh herbs and garlic. The Lagman- Beef strips, Handrolled noodles, radish, long bean, bell pepper, Turnip - very flavorful and delicious. Something different and delicious! ”

“ I just feel so lucky and blessed to have a real, authentic, honest-to-goodness Uzbek restaurant nearby! I love going there & I love ordering delivery from there, too .... If you go it's so very neat & cool because they have partitions made of hanging fabrics & not the kind of fabrics you'd normally see in this area but that are of course thankfully evocative of the place where they & the food are both from. It's very unusual for people or places such as restaurants to present things in such a way -- normally, there might be some kind of evocation of the place of origin of the food in the form of, say, art on the walls but nothing so all-encompassing as what is offered here! It's very different. Uzbekistan is literally in the air here in the form of scents of food wafting from the kitchen .... I enjoy so many of the foods here! This is a lot to say considering the vegetarianness of my food-ordering & eating habits, & I can let you know with full confidence that if you only order vegetarian food here (or from here!), you will not go hungry. The potato manti (dumplings) alone can fill you up. The punch is very tasty & an incredibly good deal, too! When I have this at home, I drink the liquid & there is some wonderful fruit concoction left over in the bottom that I spoon into wine glasses & eat as a dessert -- but don't worry, they have desserts, too! The mushroom soup might be the best thing I've had from here -- I don't know if that sounds exciting to you, but I love soup! This is a really great one. Mmm .... It's super-hearty, extremely tasty, & ... it's got a good amount of something succulent such as oil that I'm afraid to mention given today's current climate of fear around fats but that's what you need on a cold winter day, in my opinion! It's deeply nourishing physically & emotionally & tastes great, too! It's everything you could want or need in a soup! Second-best in my opinion is the Kachipuri. It's nice & salty and I find that ve-ry appealing; it reminds me of the burekas I grew up making with my mom, & I like that it brings back such wonderful memories plus tasting superb, as well. Oh, & it's flaky & crispy & all those other things you'd want in a pastry, too -- baked to perfection & all of that, yummy! The green onion Kutabi wasn't exactly my favourite thing ever but at the same time, I did appreciate the nutrition I was getting from it & of course I must try it with some of the other fillings next time! One thing I know is there will be a next time, & a next time, & a next time ... because I just love this part of the world (central Asia) -- speaking of which, the name of this place is so perfect! Some places that people might consider remote & think of as 'backwards' or 'inaccessible' have actually long been connectors of places and therefore, also very connected themselves, & the name of the restaurant, the décor, & the food all speak to and show this to be true! Of course, if you go in person & talk to, say, your server, then the person with whom you speak will show this, too -- I mean, this is true, whether or not you see it! I always like to talk to people so for me, this is especially true! The mashed potatoes are nice -- maybe a little lumpy -- but ... not too special, in my view. I mean, I think they were very special when they were first made way back when! I just expected a little more flavour in them since I read that they were perfectly spiced but I didn't really experience them as being spiced at all -- but that can be good when you want something to just add to something else; I did add a bit of the mashed potatoes to my second bowl of soup, & it was a good combination! (I'm trying not to repeat 'Mmm' all the time -- but it really fits!) The Medovik cake was good but ... the truth is, I'm not a big fan of cake for the most part, so I'm probably not the best judge of this. I do believe I need to try -- & report on! -- some of their other desserts .... In case you can't tell, I ordered an awful (well, actually wonderful!) amount of food for one meal & this did last two people at least two if not three meals -- plus fruity snacks and beverages! I really wanted to get some other things, too, such as salads but I could see it would all be way too much & so I got things that I thought would last a bit -- and yes, they did! I mean to say that a salad should be eaten sooner than, say, a soup because it could wilt and go bad & all that, and I didn't want that happening so I had to resign myself to trying some things such as various salads later .... I can't wait for the time I get to do that! This is more than just food. Of course, sure, every food must have some kind of tradition behind it, some kind of history -- even if it was just invented & made for the first time ever! -- but this food, when I say it has tradition, I mean it has a deeply meaningful feeling for me that nourishes not only my body but my soul .... It's the best! ”

“ Wasn't really sure what to expect coming here, but I'm sure glad I came to give it a try. We split the ground beef, steak, & chicken kebabs, lagman soup, and fried Manti. The kebabs and potatoes were delicious, but the soup was equally as good. The fried manti were solid, but I think I would have preferred them to be a little smaller (changes the ratio of meat to fried outside). ”

“ We had a nice dinner here this evening with a couple of friends. My wife ordered ONLY the beef tongue with horseradish, which all enjoyed even though Greg was a tad squeamish about the whole idea. Greg's meal was the crispy pelmeni with a hot sauce. I began with lagman but also ordered the stuffed cabbage leaves (golubtsi), expected the lagman ot be a soup, but no, it was a stew and quite filling. I enjoyed the stuffed leaves but half of it came home in a box. Cathy's plov was OK but the lamb was a bit dry; the rice that came along, though, was both moist and flavorful. Wanting more, Nancy ordered mushrooms and potatoes which she liked very much We were full from the main dishes but found the desserts too tempting. Baklava was warm and delish; I got the medovik (honey cake)P which was the best. Much more on the menu all of us look forward to trying on another visit. ”

“ Went here with no expectations. Without much knowledge about the food either. What stood out immediately was presentation. The menu is sleek and metal and had a nice intro paragraph about the cuisine and what we should try if unsure. I liked how the seating looked for the larger parties. Don't have a picture, but I'm sure you can find it on other people's pictures. Great home feeling, and good for conversation. What was recommended was the plov. A nice sweetness in the rice from the raisins and carrots. Satisfactory but wasn't something outstanding to my tastes. Samsa was out of this world. Flaky pastry combined with savory meat with bits of onions. Piping hot. I almost want to just order 5 of these next time I come. And I would be happy. Excited to come back and try more. The soups looks interesting, and want to try more of the meats. ”
