Reviews for Taste of Samarkand in Rego Park, NY
70$ for 10$ worth of meat. Not even..just don?t?Get BZ Grill or go to any Brazilian grill - way better and priced accordingly.... Oh and don?t order their Chebureck - you get a teaspoon of meat - go to Cheburechnaya they at least have better cheburecks..I?mglad we didn?t order anything else. Never again. Stay away Read more
They don't care about their neighbors leaving their garbage cans in front of a residential building, all nite into the afternoon... hours stinking up the neighborhood making it hard for residents of the buildings to pass them as the stench of the cans areoverwhelming that the odor stays in the people's nose hairs, to top it off there is a dental office right where they placetheir garbage cans making it unsanitary for that dental office, n other restaurants on that strip ... We have spoken toresidents of the building as they have stated they complained to the restaurants management but those complaints seem to gounaddressed, we also tried to talk to the restaurants management but they claim they don't speak English.... Don't supportrestaurants that don't care about their adjoining neighbors..... SHAME ON THEM These pictures were taking on 3 differentdays. DO NOT SUPPORT A RESTAURANT THAT DOESN'T CARE OR SUPPORT THEIR NEIGHBORS ..... PLENTY OF RESTAURANTS OUT THERE ONWOODHAVEN BLVD THAT SUPPORT THEIR NEIGHBORS Read more
This place requires no introduction within the community, but I feel that more people should know about this restaurant! This is... not my first-time trying Uzbek cuisine but I?ve to say Taste of Samarkand blew me away in terms of their ambience, price and ofcourse the food. This was way better than Farida (ok food, crazy prices) imho. What?s even better was that they allowed someitems to be ordered in pieces (manti, bread, kebab skewers) in which was perfect for my case (party of 2) and we got to try avariety of dishes. Everything from the fruit punch to the dishes itself were amazing, my favorite was the Uzbek Manti and LambKebab. The bill came to $45 including 15% tips that was already included (apparently it was stated in the menu, but I overlookedit and paid additional tips, my bad) so a pro-tip for all you first timers ???? If you are hesitant to try other culture's food,I urge you to be brave and embrace different cuisine with an open heart as it might just be your go-to comfort food from thenon. Read more

Love ordering from here! I?ve never dined in but I?m sure I?ll enjoy it just as much as I do when I have it for lunch at work!... My go to was always the grilled chicken breast kebab, white rice, fries with garlic and avocado salad. Now I fell in love whentheir skirt steak kebab! It?s so freaking good!! Best avocado salad I?ve ever had and everything always taste fresh and madewith love. It?s on a busy boulevard which is great for customers and they?re always so nice over the phone. I can?t wait to dinein one day! Read more
I came here the other day to try Uzbekistan food for the first time, and let me tell you, I was NOT disappointed. My overall... experience was absolutely amazing. My friends and I got a ton of different dishes to try out, and each of them blew my mind withhow tasty and delicious they were. The potatoes and mushrooms dish and the potato salad were particularly my favorites, and themeat/bread were also very good. They even gave us live music, which was crazy. Will definitely come again one day. Read more
