The food at this restaurant is nothing short of exceptional, boasting vibrant flavors and exquisite presentation. The service is equally impressive, with attentive staff who ensure a delightful dining experience. Additionally, the portions are generous, providing great value for reasonable prices. I truly have no complaints—this place exceeds expectations in every way.

Food and service was very good. We ordered cucumber salad which was very vinegary and tasty. The manty was juicy and had good filling ratio. The mushroom beef noodle was also very good and flavorful. We will definitely come back.

The very nice and cozy place. We were with family and adults and children really liked it. All dishes were very tasty like at home. We will probably come back here more than once

I could eat this everyday, the fried manty are the ultimate comfort dish!! The dumplings were juicy and full of meat and the main courses were spiced to perfection. On top of the amazing food is the incredible staff and cozy environment. must try you won’t regret taking your friends here just to try out every appetizer.

I have lived in Bensonhurst for 27 years. The neighborhood has evolved many times, from old-school Italian to a predominantly Chinese and lightly hispanic, to now a large presence of middle eastern and central asian populations. With it comes new food and cuisines. I stopped by out of curiosity when they first opened but never tried it today. I remember being shocked at their ratio of reviews. 2500 reviews and 4.9 stars in an outerborough restaurant is rare. Many times these restaurants are rated slightly lower due to their customers being more local and less touristy - aka frequent repeat customers with high expectations. This set my own expectations high too. I am glad to say it lived up to it. The dumplings were incredible. Delicate, lightly crisp on the outside in a thin skin with juicy chunks of meat on the inside. They were large too, and seasoned well. The meat had a slightly gamey texture and taste that complexity to the flavor profile. The noodles were also fantastic. Perfectly dense with a slight bounce in each chew but also very easy to bite. A reasonable meat portion and very good vegetables. The peppers, celery, and onions were fresh and crisp. The sauce/seasonings were actually lighter than I expected, but due to the quality of the ingredients the flavors of the vegetables and meat are augmented by the spice profile rather than being dominated by such. That is the sign of excellent food. I think they do deserve their 5 stars. I have eaten at plenty of restaurants in the neighborhood as well as from the Michelin guide around the world and would absolutely say that this is amongst some of the best restaurants representing central asian cuisines I have eaten at. It really did have a home cooked feel to it. Also, the service was excellent. Very friendly staff. Being a newer restaurant I can imagine their operations overhead costs are probably higher than longer standing establishments, so do note the prices. But like I said, I have paid much more for much less quality before.

Amazing food great staff what can I say. This place is the balls! I had wanted to go here for a while since Scott from hellgate did his review and it did not disappoint! We got the cold noodle with lamb cumin, fried wontons with beef and baursak. All amazing next time I would skip the baursak fried dough just because there is so much more on the menu I would rather try. Great portion a great price and fantasy flavor. I’ll probably skip the apps next time and try two entrees!

What a great meal! I fully expect them to be the next big thing in halal food in the next few years. Every dish was super flavorful, you get sweet,sour, savory, acid and there is black vinegar and chili oil on the table if you want to punch it up even more. We ordered cumin lamb, the dry stir fry hand pulled beef noodles, wood ear mushroom salad, fried dumplings and eggplant which was a sleeper hit - did not expect it to be that good. Highly recommend. The portions are generous. We were 3 people and left stuffed and even had left overs. We went on a busy Friday night and waited about half an hour for a table. Waiting wasn't so bad because you could see all of the different food coming out from the kitchen through the big windows. The service is 10 stars. Omot is really the whole FOH. She's the server, runner, hostess and she busts tables. She really took care of us. Can't wait to return!

Idk if the reviews are dishonest but the food was mediocre at best. SO MUCH OIL!! You will have stomach ache after. The flavor is not even special. In the photo that’s oil left AFTER I spent 20 minute taking out the initial amount with a spoon.
