Avoid this place, they are not even Uzbek Owners or workers or cooks.. they have no Idea what Uzbek Food look or taste like..I recently tried everything there and was awful,,, previous Owners were good at least some dish like samsa/Kababs were good .. but now its ridiculously bad

Had an absolutely amazing experience. Went to celebrate a big anniversary. The food was exceptional, simply delicious. The staff was so nice and attentive to every single request. We even asked for something not planned before and they did everything to make it happen. When I asked who prepared all the meals, I was very surprised to find out that they all were cooked by just one woman. I asked to see her. Such a kind humble woman. Her name was Maria (Mano) Sorry, it was so loud there I didn't catch it properly. It's going to be out place to dine in when we are in Toronto, and I will definitely recommend it to everyone I know. Such a great variety of dishes, many yummy meat servings and lots of vegetarian and even vegan options.Kid-friendliness: We had 4 children in our big group and they had a great time, and loved food as well

First time ever in a Uzbek restaurant and had a great experience. Traditional soup and Khachapuri was a great introduction to Uzbeki food. Too bad they had run out of Pilaf, another time may be.

Anybody who goes to this restaurant expects central Asian food, I have been in central Asia all my life. I have never seen or eaten this type of food in Central Asia. For The beef kabob and lamb kabob, I had to use a sharp knife over and over just to cut a piece. I had to chew for 10 minutes just to swallow it. The rice they served was smelly, disgusting and not eatable. I asked for tea, the water was not boiled, I got served simply just warm water. The only good meal was the Ukrainian soup. I recommend anyone in the Toronto area to please avoid this restaurant. Do not go. They charged me 190 dollars for a dinner meal when if I went to another restaurant it would be 80 dollars. I wanted to give a tip for the server but due to how disgusting the food was, I did not.

We want to share our favorite restaurant, "Chaihana" (1000 Finch Ave W #122, NY), and explain why we love it.When we want to take a break from the hustle and bustle, enjoy delicious home-cooked food at a leisurely pace, in a warm, unique setting, we head to Chaihana, even though we don't live nearby.Chaihana exudes a calming atmosphere that makes each visit unique. The warm, soothing, and unique decor creates a cozy space where you can savor fresh and delightful food that corresponds to the diverse menu.The variety of dishes on the menu is a true delight for food enthusiasts.From the first visit to the present, Chaihana has captured our hearts. We have become regulars, despite the distance.Waiters Edward and Julia greet and serve us during different shifts. Always hospitable, respectful, attentive to our requests, they create comfort and a desire to come back to them again and again.Perhaps we encountered Edward more often. We were drawn to his attentive service, developed through experience in the profession, the ability to be unobtrusively present, engage in a short conversation, explain each dish in detail, suggest choices, and warmly welcome us, creating an atmosphere in which we feel like welcomed guests.Chef Marina, though we haven't met personally, we thank you for every dish that makes our visit to Chaihana truly magical. Soups, pilaf, pumpkin dumplings, and much more – every dish is a real pleasure!We express gratitude to the entire restaurant team, waiters Edward and Julia, and chef Marina for their hard work and professionalism, for patience and attention to each customer. We appreciate your work and understand that it is not always easy.Chaihana is our place, and we are happy to share our experience with friends, guests, and relatives.

The server refused to bring us a bowl so we can share the dishes we ordered, he said the owner doesn't want people to share food. He got mad when my husband took a sip of my kompot saying it is not for sharing. Whats wrong with this dude??? Can't customers enjoy the food they are paying for? We ordered more than one dish per person, I can understand if a restaurant doesn't want people to stick around if they only order one dish for the whole table, but in our situation it makes no sense.Pilov is soaked in oil. Laghman is overcooked supermarket frozen ramen. Ew.
