Chorsu Samarkanda

Ordered take out for first time last night and we were blown away. The food was fresh, delicious and priced moderately. The Pilaf with Lamb was outstanding (the lamb was so tender and the rice was so flavorful). Their French Fries were coated with a savory garlicky flavor and it was seriously the best fries I’ve ever tasted. The Cheburek with minced lamb was also pretty darn delicious. Only reason why I’m giving one less star is because it took forever to get our food but other than that, it’s definitely worth the long wait.

UZBEKISTAN 🇺🇿 Eat the World NYC review: Literally meaning "four streams" in Persian language, but signifying a crossroads, "chorsu" is the perfect name for this establishment at the intersection of Kings Highway and McDonald Avenue and the F train. Named after the famous bazaar in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, you can expect portions of all cuisines enjoyed in the country to be here. Uzbek food in Brooklyn can sometimes be hit or miss, but usually hits the spot even when the meal does not wow. Thankfully this meal was a hit and did a lot of wow-ing. Our table of four went for a bit of everything, Uzbek favorites mixed with Russian items, Korean-influenced fish, and even a Greek salad. Chorsu Samarkanda had been on my to-do list forever, glad we finally stopped in to enjoy it. BYOB.

My favorite uzbeky place. I'm from Uzbekistan and this place is the best. I've been coming here since they were across the street and much smaller. For a while a few years ago their food dipped in quality but I think it had to so with the owner/chef conflict. The main chef is back now and the food has returned to top notch. Only complaint is the salads-vegetables aren't always ripe so it doesn't taste great. But no one comes here for the vegetables. The kebabs are terrific. Plof, mantu, even their garlic French fries are very good-just be sure to ask for extra garlic on the fries
