The food was incredible—we devoured the baba ganoush before we even thought of taking a picture. The staff was friendly, and the meat was tender. We'll definitely be back!

It was perfect in every way possible. We ordered a lot of food for just 2 of us but every food was on point! Kebabs were all great & pilaf was just delicious! Price was so good for the amount of food you get. Highly recommend if you are in the area!

I dine in this place many times, and I was impressed by the delicious food, attentive and friendly waitresses, and reasonable prices. Each dish was flavorful and well-prepared, making every bite enjoyable. The staff's warm hospitality added to the great value of the meal. Highly recommended!

Positives: Amazing Pilaff and chebureki, service blazing fast and attentive. Food is beyond expectation, don't judge by the cover! I recommend ordering or privatizing the place, but no walk ins. Negatives: The menu is poorly made and not appealing, it looks like a cheap street kebab shop. The music was LOUD like VERY loud. The loudest restaurant I have been in my entire life and by a stretch. The room is filled with gigantic speakers and there's a live show with an unhealthy volume, you can't speak to anyone, don't even try. It is so loud that the only way to communicate with the staff is sign language. My ears are still ringing from last night, I think I lost most of my hearing that night.

Good place for banket. It has a lot of food but they switch very quick to the following course so make sure you are fast 😅 Atmosphere is great, belly dance show plus dj afterwards; you can ask to play your song too. Parking was street parking and had no problem to find on Saturday night.

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.

Great food, beautiful environment. Nice and spacious restaurant. Staff took a while to get to our table and did not clean up the table before bringing the cake. Also the music is good and there space to dance, however the music was way too loud.

Food was decent. Kebabs were a bit dry, but what happened to the entertainment? There used to be a great Russian singer on staff. Very talented girl. Not many places have live entertainment anymore so it was a great treat to see.

The place is pretty but the did not so great, specially the green rice don't order it's greasy and has no flavor and they don't care that they give bad food, and after they brought me burnt potatoes after making me wait 30 min for them... Everything else we ordered had nothing special... I recommend better Taste of Samarkhan.

I was in Sezam yesterday with my family the food was disgusting soup lagman meat was not chewable, Manti was not cooked, shashlik baranina was not cooked blood was coming and not chewable. This is my second time going no change, I would never go back again this place, only if would be new ovner. I don't recommend go sezam. I spend $470 this amount of money went to the garbage.

We had a very unpleasant experience at Restaurant. Our waiter was extremely rude to my father, who is 70 years old. He politely asked for a small salty appetizer plate, but the waitress started yelling at him and arguing in a very aggressive way, insisting that she “just decided to do it like that.” She never apologized for her behavior. It was my child’s birthday, so we decided not to make a scene and stayed calm, but the whole situation really ruined the mood. We expected a friendly and respectful service, especially for older guests, but unfortunately, that was not the case.

Food was terrible, states it’s kosher but smelled and didn’t even taste good. Rude customer service and not real life music. Don’t come to this place if you want your money thrown away.

Very inconvenient location. We came all the way from Staten Island because we saw many positive reviews. Finding parking was extremely difficult. According to both the restaurant’s website and Google, they are supposed to open at 11:00 PM. We arrived at 3:00 PM — it was closed. No hours posted on the door, no sign explaining anything. Terrible experience. I will never come back and I would not recommend this place to anyone.
