The food was excellent and pretty fast the only issue I had was they didn't pack one of the item and instead of letting me know they wrote it on the receipt so I didn't know until food was delivered

Food was good but I was a little disappointed it wasn't as hot as my orders from other places. I usually eat at the restaurant and love the food. This was my first time ordering it & I wasn't pleased. The fries were not warm & the kebab was already cold by the time it got here. I don't know that I will order again. I'll just have to dine in the restaurant when I can. I would suggest they wrap the plates with aluminum foil or plastic to keep it warm.

Delicious and fresh food, energetic staff who enjoy their jobs. Great D.J. who played an international mix of music and entertainment by a gorgeous belly dancer! We had a fantastic time, we couldn't ask for more!

Personal recommendations: ~ Pelmeni in Lagman Soup and lagman. Plov (if in group) I was here with one of my usual groups. This is the sister restaurant to Cheburechnaya. As with them, this is a kosher Uzbek/Bukharan spot specializing in shashlyk/kabobs among other things. We had a mix of dishes. In terms of alcohol and other drinks, they have wines by the bottle as well as various beer and some soft drinks. The first dish to arrive was the Shashlichnaya Salad which was a mix of tomatoes, cucumbers, and other things topped with cold beef. It was pretty tasty. The chebureki; a type of massive fried dumpling; arrived soon filled with mushrooms. These were also good and not as oily as some other spots with a good amount of filling. The manty arrived afterwards and they were excellent. Nice amount of filling and very juicy. I would recommend them. The pelmeni in lagman soup was also very tasty. Good amount of tender meat and very tasty dumplings. If I was to go back alone, I probably would have this and a couple kebabs and be very happy. They gave us some bread afterwards for free which reminded me of a bit too much of matzah. The plov or palov or rice pilaf as they say in terms of an English translation on the menu arrived soon. This was good with a mix of tender meat and a good amount of rice. I would have preferred a more heavily spiced rice or rice with some more flavoring but I have the same opinion at their other spot so I think it's just because I'm used to the more flavored rice from other central Asian countries. The unique thing here is the roasted garlic which can be added to the palov for extra flavor. They also have the green palov on the menu like the other spot but we didn't try it. The kebabs arrived soon afterwards consisting this case with lulya and regular lamb. The lulya was very tender and quite good though less fatty than usual and I liked it a lot. The regular lamb was good as well. I wasn't surprised that the kebobs were good as I remember them being quite tasting at the other spot. The food overall was good. I have had better similar food (mostly in Brooklyn) but some dishes were better than the norm and overall we had a good experience. The odd walls and ceiling help add to the odd fun charm of this place as well.

A well known central asian kosher restaurant in the neighborhood. Belly dancing is only on Saturdays or when there are a lot of reservations. The dishes are large and reasonably priced, really loved the dumplings and kababs. Good selection of beer and wine, quick service.

Shashlichnaya is the sister restaurant of Cheburechnaya (also in Rego Park). I've been going to Cheburechnaya for years and have really enjoyed their food. It is much more casual than Shashlichnaya, and I found the food for both places to be about equal. Love both places! For a special occasion, Shashlichnaya is the place to go. Great atmosphere, great service, great food. On this visit, a group of 8 of us came to Shashlichnaya to celebrate a good friend's milestone birthday. We were all looking forward to the delicious food but what sealed the deal was the belly dancing! There is belly dancing on most nights, start around 8:45pm but not on all nights, so call ahead to inquire. The belly dancer tonight was wonderful; so friendly, so beautiful, so talented. (see my photos and video clips). What a fun evening! Our shared menu: Kebabs: lulya, lamb rib, veal liver & boneless chicken Shashlichnaya Salad Manty with meat Pelmeni with Lagman Soup Chebureki with potatoes Steamed Rice with veg. French Fries with mushrooms I really enjoyed all the food but there were two standout dishes: Manty with meat and Pelmeni with Lagman Soup. These were outstanding, and I would return just for these two items. The kebabs were really good; some better than others, but overall, very good. Surprisingly, the veal liver was a hit! Service and hospitality were fantastic! So friendly and accommodating. We were even able to bring our own birthday cake and liquor, with no additional service charge. I must add that the dining room was really beautiful (my photo really doesn't do it justice). I'm already planning on a return visit in a couple of weeks. Can't wait to go back! What a treat!

Visited on 3 Sept 2022, food wasn’t great, definitely not a Central Asian quality. But the lamb shishkebab tasted too spicy at first, but burning sensation did not disappear. Instead, increased during several hours after visiting the restaurant. Now feels like a chemical burn (E264 or worse?) inside of my mouth. Perhaps it’s not enough to go to ER in the middle of the night, but certainly bad enough that made me submit this complaint, so other people don’t get hurt. Avoid….

The food was excellent, I give them 5 stars. My only recommendation to the restaurant would be to re-enforce the containers with plastic wrap or foil and to tie the bag tight. The delivery person followed all instructions and was very nice.

Ordered Shurpa (soup with lamb) and Chebureki (giant empanadas). The food was fresh and delicious, served nicely. Highly recommend! Convenient prices and big portions. Nice place with good service.

The shashliks weren’t that good, meat was gamey and of the lower quality. Also don’t get hustled for their $15 juice, it’s definitely not worth it. 2 stars for nice service, other than the hustled part that is.
