I didn't think there would be TWO Uzbekistani restaurants within 10 minutes of my home, but here we are. Bubala is a great place, but I might love this place more (when it comes to kebabs).
Service here is clearly family owned and they take a lot of pride in what they do. Super nice, and for the most part, attentive without crowding.
They serve ayrran and it had the right consistency to be liquidy but not soupy. The fresh tarragon they add in the mix is a nice touch.
The meshkart salad was not something I've had before, but I really liked it! I've never had tongue sliced like vegetables, and it blends really well with the mayo like sauce and radishes. They give you a lot, so make sure you share it with someone else, or you might have leftovers.
The fried liver appetizer is moist and has a nice charred outside. If you want like gamey meat, this wont change your mind at all. There were a couple of times that I had to eat a mouthful of raw onions to combat the offal taste in my nose. But that comes with the territory!
The kebabs here are delicious! They were cooked to perfection, putting a lot of places I've been to shame in regards to how juicy it was! I got the beef and lamb kebab and both were excellent. The beef was a personal favorite because of how well they landed the texture in regards to cooking it. They serve it still on the metal skewers which is a nice touch, even if it does take up some room. When you order the kebab as a "plate", they give you a generous amount of pickles vegetables and rice.
My girlfriend ordered the rack of lamb and I was a little jealous with how good it was. I thought Selda were the best with rack of lamb near my house, but Rokhat Grill may be top contender, if not better! Whoever that cook is should get a raise because they are cooking everything just right on their charcoal grills.
Almost any meat dish here comes with a bed of pickled vegetables and rice. While you may be too full to eat every bite, they are still delicious and hold up pretty well as leftovers.
This layered bread that felt like a mixture between paratha and focaccia. They cut it up for you, which is convenient, but it wasn't as soft as I would have hoped. When I took it home as leftovers, it was a lot better since I squirted some water in it and it did soften up. You get quite a bit of this bread, so don't be surprised on how filling it is.
Ive been here twice within a month and both times were great. If youre in the mood for kebabs, this is the place to go in plano!
