"Once you cross from North Miami Beach into Sunny Isles, the restaurants become more Slavic and Central Asian, including this excellent Uzbek spot. Chayhana is named after the tea houses found throughout Uzbekistan where men gather on comfy beds to sip tea, enjoy snacks, and have deep conversations. And the interior here is clearly meant to evoke that, with design details like geometric patterns and onion-dome arches. The traditional Uzbek dishes include lamb and pumpkin manty, a lamb and rice pilaf (Uzbekistan’s national dish), stir-fried lagman beef noodles, and a variety of kabobs. The rest of the menu is a mix of Russian, Georgian, Armenian, and Ukrainian dishes, including chicken tabaka - a Georgian take on cornish game hen cooked that’s cooked under a brick so it’s nice and crispy." - Carlos C Olaechea
"A months-old Kings Highway spot run by Kamol Raupov, whose family has long been in the food business, serving straightforward, hearty Uzbek late-night fare aimed at night crowds and drivers: chewy lagman noodles; platters of grilled beef and lamb served over fresh-cut French fries; crusty rounds of obi non flatbread; a variety of kebabs chosen from a brightly lit display; and standout lamb ribs sprinkled with whole cumin seeds before they hit the grill." - Tammie Teclemariam
