What a great place! The food was amazing, very fresh, homemade and super tasty! I had the Mastava soup with bread to start, the flavours were amazing and it made me feel like I was really trying authentic Uzbek cuisine. I then had the Plov with a side of Manti (dumplings) - such a nice meal all round. Another highlight for me was the super friendly service, the staff were so kind and welcoming and you could tell they were proud of the food and country that they are from! Thank you!
Wow wow wow. Everything was a solid 10/10. No notes. Friendly staff, lovely atmosphere, so clean and a great selection of food to choose from. Authentic food that tastes so flavourful - not a single thing tastes bad or bland. All the food comes with some kind of sauce or accompaniment. Best Uzbek food in London.
The honey cake to finish off was the cherry on top - it’s so tasty and not overly sweet. We had a passion fruit sorbet and banana ice cream as well - they have a massive ice cream selection as well with cones/tubs. Best restaurant I’ve been to in a long time. Will be back for sure. We spent around £30 each but we ate a lot for 2 people…we had 1 starter, 2 mains, 3 desserts and 2 pots of tea. We were absolutely stuffed and the portion sizes are nice and big as seen in the photos. You could definitely share a main between 2 comfortably.
I recommend trying the authentic Uzbek tea as well, it was delicious.

Excellent and delicious 😋 food. It was yummy - the Uzbek 🇺🇿 dumplings were the best - well seasoned and just great. The black tea was really nice and the atmosphere was great - the music and person serving was so friendly and very welcoming. Would highly recommend this restaurant in Queensway and will be going back again.

so yummy! tucked away next to Hyde Park you will find this stuffy labyrinth-like mall with electronic stores and small cafés. if you come here you are guaranteed authentic food that is delicious. i have to say though, it’s not the coziest place and it was cold but it’s a fun atmosphere i dont mind:). the price overall was a bit expensive IMO since the portions were quite small. but it is quite rare to find good uzbek food in central London so i guess you’re paying for the exclusivity…
we tried the mastava with sour cream as a starter. the broth was so rich and buttery, a good amount of dill. the little meat pieces we’re super flavourful, and it had a good amount of veggies and rice. however i wish there was more salt!
the plov was so nostalgic, absolute 10/10 but a quite small portion. still i wouldn’t change anything about the flavour, maybe the rice could’ve been a bit more fragrant and fluffy. a couple more berries and pepper too but its ok i loved it and with the caraway seeds it was delectable.
our favourite was the manti, they’re so juicy and soupy and the meat is really tender. the sour cream is a must with it!!! such a nice pairing. they also came steaming and fresh

Tucked away in Queensway is a hidden gem - some of the best Central Asian (Uzbek) food you can find.
Dishes are more delicately flavoured but are still incredibly delicious.
Their Borscht was warm and comforting, perfect for the weather and converted me, someone who isn’t a huge fan of beets.
The Laghman was also just as heartwarming and earthy, with perfectly cooked noodles.
Their Somsa was beefy and very more-ish.
Highlights however are their Plov - a rice dish with carrots, sultanas, lamb and served with pickles, and their Honey Cake, which the owner said was made by his wife and tasted not too cloyingly sweet.
The service was kind and attentive. The setting was a bit tight, but this was well-worth the trip down to try.
