It was so nice to be able to get comfort food from Uzbekistan/Russia/Ukraine. The Pelmeni was great and borscht was very nice. We also picked up some traditional cookies and chocolates as well. The owners are very nice people. We'll be heading back soon!
My family and I were looking for someplace for a quick meal after a weekend tour of the nearby Iolani Palace. The family owned restaurant had only been open for days, but we found it online. The owners/staff were friendly, and the food was amazing. We ordered a variety of items (most pictured, except an entree that got devoured before I thought to take photos), and everything was exceptional. Marketing Uzbek cuisine won't mean much to most people (including us, before today), but the cuisine will please most mainstream American palates, while tasting distinct and different. For the thousands of folks who work nearby, this should make your regular lunch rotation for sure, and any tourists like us should not miss it.
Great food and the staff is super friendly. They even have a small selection of groceries! If you're eating here during the week come early. They get busy. They have some small tables to sit on so you don't have to have your food to go.
Amazing food which is super tasty!! Was very surprised to find this hidden in downtown. Hurry though because they only make a certain amount of food. Will return anytime we are in downtown.
Authentic, fresh Uzbek food at very fair price. I’ve ordered lamb kabob and a tasty desert.
This Uzbek-family owned restaurant in Hawaii offeres variety of famous Central Asian cuisine, as main course, and some Russian, as breakfast meal. The quality of all foods offered here is exceptional! The traditional Uzbek style plov (steamed rice with meat and vegetables), which is included in UNESCO heritage list, "shashlik" (kebab - barbequed meats), samsa (pumpkin pastry), Russian blinchiki, pirojki, okroshka (yogurt-based summer soup) will satisfy all the tastes of customers. Prices are quite reasonable too. Keep in mind, the place is busy during office lunch hours, which is due to their delicious meals and super-friendly service!
Great restaurant and getting alot busier now.
They are now my go to supplier for horse milk. Although the name of the milk is misleading in that the milk doesn't actually come from the horse's penis. Still great stuff.
Go before 11:30am to avoid a wait. Sandwiches on special are always on point.
Menu photos are as of 3-14-18
It is such a wonderful place. Even if there are only a few tables, if you work or frequent downtown, you are missing out if you haven't been to Silk Road yet, you are missing out on this gem. I don't have a regular favorite, I'm always enticed by a special and I have never been disappointed. Today was a borscht and lamb kebab day for us. The meat is always tender, the flavors savory, and the curtains are gorgeous.
The food was amazing and the portions were great! What I loved about this place is the attention to detail for each part of the meal. Home made bread, pickled & sliced carrots, perfectly cooked rice, dressed salad, well seasoned beef and the juice was great. When you have a well seasoned plate it just makes everything taste good by itself. It's a nice hole in the wall and you get your food so quick. I would definitely come back and get the lamb! They sold out before 12! Thankful I was able to visit this location 😊
