Uzbegim Halal Restaurant

It is a great place. New flavors for me, the food is amazing. I recommend the chatayan pilaf lamb meat rice beans and other ingredients it is delicious. The other dish we got was not the best for me, but I can tell preparation and ingredients are from scratch so that still gave them a plus. The lamb samosas really good too. I will come back to try other dishes. Definitely recommend to try different things. I cannot confirm if it is Authentic cuisine, since i never tried this type of food before. But it is worth trying.

The quality of the food is so good. The service is amazing and very kind people. I love Uzbeks pilav with lamb. Definitely recommended! Thank you for such a great food and service. The location is also very convenient

The charcoal-grilled kabobs are very good, especially the ground lamb and beef kabob plate. The place has a nice array of salads, appetizers, and desserts as well.

awesome food, taste pretty authentic and flavour; small dine-in area so might need to wait during peak hours; great price

Tried their Uzbek food recently and it was amazing! The pilaf was flavorful and cooked perfectly, and the samosas were crispy on the outside with a tasty, well-seasoned filling inside. Everything tasted fresh and felt like a real taste of Uzbekistan. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff made the experience even better. Highly recommend if you want to try authentic Uzbek dishes!

My son and I tried the Uiyghur fried noodles/laghman with beef and the roasted lamb with potatoes. Both were delicious and well prepared. I love the authentic artwork and atmosphere. Waitress was really nice from Kazakhstan. I would definitely recommend this place. Food tastes like its cooked with love.

Uzbegim Halal Restaurant is a hidden gem for hearty, flavorful Central Asian cuisine. 🍽️ Their fried rice with lamb is amazing—rich, aromatic, and perfectly seasoned. 🐑🍚 The skewers are juicy, tender, and grilled to perfection, making every bite satisfying. 🍢🔥 A must-visit for anyone craving delicious halal comfort food! 😋

This tiny restaurant next to Centennial Park is like taking a trip to Uzbekistan, no passport required. The food is terrific and abundant. There's an enclosed, outdoor grill just outside the dining room where the aroma of grilling kabobs is intoxicating. Service is friendly and helpful. If Uzbek food is new to you, just ask for suggestions.

Efficient and friendly service. When a nearby restaurant could not prepare a simple appetizer with tea in 30 minutes, Uzbegim and Amor de Cafe delivered it in half the time and at competitive prices. The place is clean and also has an outdoor seating.

Visiting from California... Cute place, you can sit inside or outside. There's some music playing in the background at the perfect volume. The restaurant and cafe are connected. The staff is friendly and attentive, they will help with recommendations. The food was delicious and freshly made, it came out hot and the flavors were so good! If you're thinking of coming here, do it! They have sweets and coffee too if you're feeling like a decadent treat. Great place, glad I came!

The food and service were amazing. I didn't go into the restaurant. I had delivery. Everything I ordered was amazing.

Fantastic! I was in Nashville visiting for work and wanted to check out Centennial Park. Was looking for somewhere nearby for some lunch and came across Uzbegim. Having never tried Uzbek food before, this was a no brainer! Highly, highly recommend trying something off the grill. The Tovuq chicken kebab I tried was SO juicy and tender and delicious. It came out hot and fresh, with a great char and spiced to perfection. The skewer was complemented with thinly sliced raw onion, which were pretty mild and sweet. If I ever have a chance to make it back here, I will definitely try other items off their grilled menu. I also got the Fried Laghman noodle dish, and this was very tasty as well! Generous amount of meat with great flavor. The handmade noodles were chewy and thick, and despite being fried, it was not too heavy or oily. Loved the very subtle sour vinegar/lemon in this dish and good amount of veggies to round it out too. I had ordered the Uzbek bread as well, which surprised me with how big it was. Especially for the price, I was expecting something really small and it's actually huge. In my opinion, this was just okay, not a lot of flavor but beautifully presented and good value for sharing if you come hungry! Service was friendly and prompt. Restaurant was pretty quiet when I was there for an earlier lunch time. Upstairs they have a small store where you can buy breads and pantry items to go.

10000/10! Yum! I had the golupsi and roasted lamb Shank and potatoes! Freaking YUM! Everything had so much flavor. The lamb was so tender and juicy reminded me of neckbones or oxtails.. or a tender roast! the golupsi was so flavorful and unique it's like a turkish meatloaf with so many flavors. I would literally eat here daily if I could wow!!

Saw this place on Nashville Hidden Gems and was rather mad that I didn't know about it earlier. Over the years of going to Elliston Pl, and even eating at Michelangelo's, I was very pleased to see another Uzbek restaurant here in Nashville. This place truly is a hidden gem. I went in knowing it would be good for Halal food. The menu was easy to read and the food was delicious. I got the fried Uyghur lagman. I also got an order of Uzbek bread. The staff were friendly and I definitely will be back. They really improved the look on the inside from what I remember going in to Michelangelo's. In fact, there were other people in there ordering pizza. So they either share the space or are related to the owners. As far as I know, the parking is free in the back as long as you are visiting a business at Elliston Place. I highly recommend.

The food is always amazing and the service excellent. The Tovuq (chicken) kebab is the most tender I have ever eaten. Samarkand Plov/Osh is divine. The honey cake and Manti are also delicious!

Very excellent service. We arrived late and they were so accommodating. The naan bread delicious

Legit Central Asian food! Having been to Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan this restaurant stacks up. Incredible Plov (wedding rice), authentic naan, and a porch overlooking Centennial Park. I will be here every week.

This little restaurant is inside the building with the pizza place and had such amazing unique food. We got the plov, samosa, naan, and uyghur lagman. The service was so nice as well and the food tasted amazing. Definitely recommend!!!

Shared with Michaelangelo's Pizza, this spot finally got a sign on the door so people can see that it's there! Has a few parking spots, space inside is pretty big. Dark though and the fans cause the lights to seem like they're flickering. Came on a Saturday at 1PM with a total of 6 people, and they ran out of noodles. I came here specifically to get the laghman so I didn't get anything, although I did try bites of others' food. Generally, food was lacking flavor - the nan (traditional Uzbek bread) was soft inside and had an almost crunchy bottom but didn't taste like much and didn't come with any dips. Tried a bite of the to'y (plov) and choyhona (also plov), lamb in to'y definitely needs more flavor although it was soft, didn't get any choyhona lamb but my friends said it was dry (it looked dry), they liked the char on it though. The rice felt oily and also didn't have much flavor although the chickpeas in the to'y was good. Friend found an eyelash in the choyhona on the egg. Portions were on the smaller side for sure although prices mostly reflected that at about $14 post-tax. People in my group were definitely disappointed that there were no more noodles at what seems like a reasonable time to eat lunch. I probably won't be back - if not for the rest of the group, I would've just left without getting any food. I've gone to Osh a handful of times and they never ran out of noodles, I'll probably just continue going there.

Surprising Uzbekistan restaurant near Centennial Park. My friend and I were looking for a delicious departure from the standard American/Mexican dining experience and found this place on Yelp. As we approached the restaurant, we could smell something enticing on the grill emanating from this restaurant. The food did not disappoint! We wanted to try everything on the menu and ordered rice, kebabs, salad, soups and bread. There was plenty to eat and enough leftover to take home. There's also a small market inside where you can pick up traditional Uzbeki snacks and food. All around fun, enticing experience and the servers were engaging and attentive. We'll be back!

What a great place !!! Everything was great!! And the owner is so generous! When I asked for a little bit more onions they literally brought a whole small plate of onions! And I can't believe it's so cheap ! A cheap price with a big portion of food is hard to find in downtown Nashville now

This tiny restaurant next to Centennial Park is like taking a trip to Uzbekistan, no passport required. The food is terrific and abundant. Just outside the restaurant is an enclosed grill where the intoxicating smell of grilling kabobs perfumes the air. The service is friendly and helpful. If the hearty, earthy flavors of Uzbekistan are new to you, just ask for suggestions.

Samsa was to die for! Plov was flavorful, and shish kebab was great. Was greatly surprised to find an Uzbek place in Downtown Nashville!

Be AWARE!!! I had a liver kabab and Lamb kabab both were uncooked and spoiled. 11am the cook was not there told me to wait 30-1 hour for cooks to come. I work around the area so called them to ask when will they have fresh food always same answer in the evening or 1pm fresh food will be ready but that's a lie they will give you disgustingly spoiled very bad smelly bad tasting food out of microwave. I am Uzbek so sad I had to write this bad review. I highly advise Local Health departments investigate the restaurant throughly. Very disappointing. Very expensive not worth of a price. I tried to give it second chance again same thing happened spoiled grape leaves. Nothing in this restaurant is fresh. And very pricey. This maggot worms were found yesterday in meat somsa by my friend and her husband and 11 year old child ate it and got sick. They have diarrhea and vomiting at the moment. We have a video of worms alive and moving.

Absolutely AMAZING food! The girl is so nice and just really love everything about this place. This place is becoming our favorite restaurant in Nashville!

HOLY FLIPPIN MOLY!! This place is easily an 11/10. I mean the best find of this year for me without a doubt. I ordered because I saw it was halal and I thought why not try uzbek food. So one night, I ordered the following on uber eats: shurpa soup and chicken kabob (tuvuk i think?). These both slapped!! Shurpa soup has beef which i didnt personally like as much but the chicken kabob was so good and you could tell it was freshly made! Today I found out they had a website where you can also get food delivered and they give 10% off for first time users. Food was also delivered very quickly! Today i got the qiyma (beef kabob) and russian tortilleni soup called CHUCHVARA (PELMENI). IT IS SOOOOO GOOD. super flavorful, this my first time trying chuchvara and its now my favorite lol. Prices are great. Yall would be missing out if you dont try this place. Wish i found out about it earlier!

Excellent food and delivered on time and with significant courtesy. I look forward to trying more dishes.

Soooo excited about this place!! I'm from the former USSR and am so excited that they have so many of my favorite Ukrainian/Russian dishes!! The food was so yummy! We had almost every dish on the menu and they were perfection!

Does not exist. Looked all over and asked locals. Called and phone disconnected. Complete waste of time in the rain

Authentic Uzbek cuisine. Osh and kebabs are fantastic. Highly recommended. I love both food and ambiance there.

Last night was my second time dining here, and this time, two friends came along. We ordered the Crispy Baked Samosa, Tandir Samosa and Olivier to share - all was tasty! One of my friends and I ordered the To'y Osh Plov and my other friend ordered the noodle dish (I forget the name). We were all pleased with the quality and portion size of our meals. Definitely authentic, and the service is quick and attentive. It's worth a visit for the unique experience!

OMG!!! I so wish this restaurant was in my town. I have never been to a Turkish Halal restaurant before and I really enjoyed the experience. It was quiet and peaceful. We weren't sure if we were in the right place at first, because it had signs for a pizza place when we first walked in, but we were greeted and sat right away when we specified Uzbegim was our destination. The service was friendly and helpful, and the server kindly recommended delicious options to try. And the food was amazing. We ordered way too much because we wanted to share and try several items. The Tandir Samosa - very good - flavorful beef and onions. Golupsi - cabbage rolls, cooked potatoes, dolmas - sooooo good. Fried Uyghur Lagman - noodles with beef and peppers and fried egg. Amazing! Bifsteks - the meatballs included on this plate were incredible and so flavorful. Also the chicken kebab - Tovuq - the spices on this were amazing, and the chicken was so hot and tender. Everything was hot, fresh, and incredibly flavorful. I forgot to take pictures until after we started cause it was so good and we couldn't wait to dive in.

Loved it. Hidden gem and difficult to lacate but in the upstairs mezzanine level of the pizza place at the same address. Will be back!

Important: restaurant is located INSIDE "Michelangelo's Pizza", there is no sign for it just go inside and upstairs. SUPER incredible food! Very authentic and delicious at an unbelievably reasonable price. Order the samosas, the plov, the kabob, or the laghman and you WON'T be disappointed especially if you love lamb.

You enter this place via the pizzeria next door, so from outside it looks closed but isn't. They have two lamb dishes, called "Jaz" and "Jiz". I asked the waiter what was the difference and he said he was out of Jiz. I got the Manti dumplings just to be safe. They were pretty good.

For the first time came today. Wow! The food is delicious and really testy. I took to go half of the menu and every dish was exceptional and prepared with love. The price is surprisingly reasonable. Very happy to find this amassing place and definitely will recommend it to all my friends and relatives.

What an amazing place, friendly people, great ambiance, and smells delicious the moment you walk in! I had the Nan, samosa, plov and manti. Every single dish was phenomenal and service was perfect.

If you want to get a taste of authentic Uzbek food, similar to other Central Asian cuisines, this is the place. I'm impressed there are now 2 Uzbek restaurants in Nashville (other one being Osh, which is also excellent). You can always count on the staples like manty, pelmeni, kebabs, toi plov and shurba soup, but also try Medovik or Napoleon cakes. Highly recommended!

We found everything we ordered to be well prepared, delicious and very authentic. The service was quick and friendly. Don't miss this wonderful restaurant!

This is a hidden gem. Food was amazing. Recommend black tea with crystal sugar, yogurt, chicken kabob , Olivia salad and uzbek lasagna. Everything was amazing. Service was also amazing. Very welcoming.

Had the grilled lamb and chicken kebabs...they were so flavorful and juicy! Also tried the lamb and onion baked samosas. Amazing food! This is a hidden gem. Try it before word gets out.
