"When you make the effort to leave your apartment for a meal, it can be tempting to choose a restaurant for more than just food. You ditched the Snuggie for real-people clothes and hit pause on your Black Mirror marathon. After going to such great lengths, you may want to go to a spot where getting a reservation requires more preparation than a cross-country bike trip, or a place with artfully presented avocado-stuffed avocados. Or maybe you don’t care if getting a reservation is more difficult than getting into a good New York preschool, regardless of the fact that preschool is just sandboxes and nap time. If you replaced your slippers with shoes and watched the screensaver appear on your AppleTV because you simply want some good food, then check out Nargis. This Uzbek restaurant in Park Slope serves excellent food in a very casual setting. The food, which has influences from Eastern Europe, the Middle-East, and East Asia, ranges from hummus to pumpkin-filled puff-pastries to spicy noodle soups with lamb. It’s all hearty, affordable, and the portions are large, so this is not the kind of place where you’ll need to search Google Maps for nearby pizza places while paying the check. Most of the dishes are worth ordering, and the lamb, beef, and chicken kebabs that’re cooked over a wood fire are excellent. If you’re a fan of high quality meat on a stick, which we sincerely hope that you are, these are some of the best you can find in the city. Despite its prime Park Slope real estate, you’ll feel comfortable showing up at Nargis in gym clothes, or if you happen to leave your apartment still wearing those slippers. The food comes out extremely quickly, the paper placemats are decorated with maps of Russia, and the speakers play a heavy dose of Natasha Bedingfield. But, Nargis serves good food that will make you happy you ate here, and that’s the reason (we think) this place has been packed every time we’ve visited. People also probably realize that Black Mirror marathons cannot be good for the heart. Food Rundown Lagman Soup Thick hand-pulled noodles come in a spicy broth with a good amount of beef and lamb, along with some Asian vegetables. Like everything here, this is a big portion, but it’s not really shareable. These udon-like noodles would be a good move if you’re dining solo and only plan to get a couple things. Tashkent Salad If more salads had beef tongue, eggs, and housemade mayo, then we’d eat more salads. This is more of a meaty coleslaw topped with crispy onions, and it’s pretty great. It should certainly be shared if you plan on having room for anything else. Spreads and Salads Platter An assortment of spreads from Asia and the Middle East, including hummus, baba ganoush, and kimchi. Get this and an order of the Non, which is a huge basket of bread cooked in a clay oven. Samsa Puff-pastries filled with your choice of lamb and beef or pumpkin. The pumpkin one is good, but the meat samsa is better. How could flaky pastries stuffed with chunks of lamb and beef not be good? Manti Dumplings that we actually preferred with pumpkin more than meat. These come loaded with actual pumpkin, not the spice that Starbucks pulls out three weeks a year. Plov A huge plate of rice pilaf that tastes like vegetable fried rice. The chunks of lamb served on top are good, but the rice is pretty bland. This acts mostly as a filler, which you certainly don’t need here. Just get some lamb kebabs instead. Honim This is basically potato lasagna. The noodles are soft and come topped with crushed tomatoes and herbs, but unless you’ve been diagnosed with a severe starch-deficiency, you can skip this. Kebabs This is a part of the menu that you should explore in detail. The kebabs aren’t dressed up or served with any accompaniments. The big portions of meat are cooked over wood and served on skewers. We liked all of them, but definitely try the lamb and beef combo, along with the chicken hearts and veal liver if you’re feeling more adventurous." - Matt Tervooren

"Meanwhile, popular Uzbek restaurant Nargis Bar & Grill is exiting Park Slope, chef-owner Boris Bangiyev announced on Instagram. He says the closure will give him more time to devote to his original Sheepshead Bay restaurant Nargis Cafe. Nargis opened in Park Slope in 2017, bringing an exciting new cuisine to the neighborhood that garnered two stars from Eater critic Ryan Sutton. It’ll be replaced with a new jazz cafe and bar in the beginning of August, according to Bangiyev." - Carla Vianna

"Charcoal-grilled skewers are the calling card at Uzbek Park Slope restaurant Nargis Bar & Grill. Whether it’s veal liver, lamb leg, chicken heart, or any of the other meaty varieties, Nargis nails the kebab. “Skirt steak bursts with concentrated beefiness. Lamb chuck exhibits a restrained funk, a marked tenderness, and beguiling sweetness. The heat transforms chicken hearts into springy, snappy saltiness, with little sinew or offally tang. And chicken wings stun with their technicality; the gentle cooking renders out all the schmaltzy fats, leaving the skin with a blackened crispness whose texture recalls phyllo and whose complex aromas evoke porcini,” Eater critic Ryan Sutton writes in his review." - Alexandra Ilyashov, Eater Staff

"I should point out that the expertise of the grilling isn’t quite on par with, say, Nargis, a more ambitious Uzbek spot in Park Slope (and a proper sit down restaurant), but it’s still a stunning value." - Ryan Sutton

We had gone here on a Friday evening for dinner. Let me start with a mentioning, The place has a great ambience and a very friendly staff. Nan/traditional bread and baba ghanoush. Bread was just ok. It tasted good while it was warm. Baba ghanoush was very good and authentic. I got lagman soup, which was delicious. I highly recommend. Very bold flavors,a bit spicy. Lamb kebabs were the best. The best kebabs I have had in the area. Well moist and spiced. Had a glass of red wine,which was just ok. Sorry didn't have any desserts

Very nice decorated place. Food was average, the only thing I really enjoyed was beef Kebab. Also we had Plov, Lagman soup and Steamed Manti. Meat in last two was quite hard to chew. Olive could be more flavorful. Kebab was on point, soft, smoky, and with amazingly delicious grilled vegetables. I wish portion of kebab could be a little bigger. Overall good experience.

What a welcome surprise. Overall, the best Park Slope restaurant to open since Talde. Eager service, nice decor and cannot rave enough about the dishes we had: meat Samsa, Chuchvara, Uzbek Plov well worth the visit. Skip the cocktails, decent wine and beer list.

We came as a big group and had such a good and fun lunch! Order samsa and manti! The best from their menu. It felt very cozy and they play cool music that we all recognized from back home.

I was expecting more given the outstanding reviews, but I thought the food here was just okay. I had the plov and the chuchvara, and both were underseasoned and way too greasy, even for me. Value was not entirely there. I’m willing to go back and give them another chance since they’re in my neighborhood and open late, but probably won’t go out of my way.

I have been to Nargis a few times and every time the food is delicious and the staff are friendly and efficient. I had never had Uzbeki cuisine and this was an excellent first experience. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable and food comes out very quickly. The staff is attentive without being overly attentive and I haven't ever had a reason to complain. The prices are very reasonable as well. Kebabs and cheese cigars are two of my favorites and the manti(meat or pumpkin) is delicious. I had a birthday dinner there and every person I was with was super pleased with everything.

Amazing spot! I was so ecstatic that they opened a second location and so close to the city. Literally my favorite food in the world and Nargis makes it the best. Would strongly recommend the fried manti, garlic fries, beef and chicken kebobs. Make sure to ask for the “tomato sauce” and get yourself a loaf of Uzbek bread. Can’t wait to visit again!

I should say kababs are really delicious! We tried chicken, lamb and luyla all realy good, the ribs was too fatty so you may want to skip that. Tounge appetizer with parsnips was really good! We also had the pilov and that was good as well.
