Went with my best friend after a great "girl day" at breezy point. Eating here was the best end to our day. We ordered the coconut red lentil soup. So good. It was warm and creamy and fully of flavor. We also order the Manti stuffed with squash with a Filet Mignon skewer. Honestly, the flavors all exploded in my mouth. I literally can't wait to come back. Highly recommend.

Uma's is a great local restaurant with delicious food and very friendly staff. We went there for a lunch and were not disappoint! We had Manti With Meat which were awesome, and Pelmeni which I loved. Everything is very fresh and delicious. We will definitely go back to try the rest of the menu. Highly recommend!!!

Uma's is the best! The staff is super nice & the food is delicious! Been there a few times and I loved it. Also, I ordered through seamless recently (kind of late towards closing), and when my mom went to go pick up the food, they didn't even have the order. The staff was super Duper, nice, and was ready to put another order through, even though it was almost closing time. Finally, the seamless order went through, and they got the ticket. it really was a mistake on seamless' part for putting the order through so slowly (like 20mins later). But the fact that they were so accommodating, and nice on the phone was very refreshing.10/10 love uma's

This is my new favorite food in the Rockaways. Came here with a group and we ordered a bunch of different things- dumplings, scallion pancakes, eggplant salad, some meat and rice dish. Everything was packed with flavor and the meat was so tender. My only regret was coming here on our last night in town because I definitely would have been back at least one more time, if not two.

Been here three times — twice before the pandemic and once yesterday — and it continues to be wonderful. The squash manti (dumplings) are savory and tender, and the yogurt sauce they come with is a nice extra touch. The chicken skewer is the biggest winner — super tender and juicy. The servers are attentive and the food comes out pretty quickly, plus the vibe here is just right for being slightly inland from a beach. Although I’m rarely in the area i do hope to go back here again!

I went for a dinner with my bf to Uma's. I got the rice with beef which was soooo delicious. The vibe is so nice and romantic I loved it but its a bit too pricey.

My friend and I were looking at places to eat after a long day at the beach and we found this Uzbek/Kazakh fusion restaurant on Rockaway Beach. The decor was vintage, the lighting was dim, and the service was nice.
We’ve never had this cuisine before and it was truly a great first introduction. We ordered the red lentil soup, pelmeni, and manti with butternut squash. These dishes were quite hearty and flavorful, despite being so vegetable forward. Uma’s described the pelmeni and manti as large dumplings, and they certainly delivered on that aspect. I really like the touch of detail with the caramelized onions and fresh dill, brightening the dishes.
My absolute favorite was the soup. If I could have a gallon of the coconut/red lentil soup from Uma’s I would certainly drink it all up. It was so earthy, yet creamy and had the right amount of salt for my taste.
The ice cream was also quite yummy, it was refreshing and the toasted sesame crumbs enhanced the rustic nature of the dessert.
If I come back to Jacob Riis or Rockaway Beach again, I would certainly come back to dine at Uma’s. I definitely recommend bringing friends here to share various dishes with, as it was a bit pricey. Overall, this was a great dining experience and I’m glad we got to find this gem in the neighborhood!

We had the pelmeni and the menti with squash. Simply amazing, very delicious and flavorful. The broth in the pelmeni was pretty rich and complemented the yogurt and dumplings so well. I was skeptical about dumplings but I was so pleasantly surprised!

Had the labne salad and plov. Really good with fresh ingredients. Helpful waitstaff - even though very busy. Had rioja and it was great accompaniment to the food. Really had a nice time at Uma’s and will be back.

A Central Asian culinary oasis in rockaway with high quality fresh vegetables, succulent grilled meats and off the beaten track local delicacies of Samsa a central Asian answer to the empanada. If you are fortunate you may spot Patti smith at her table munching on the superbly spiced Korean carrot salad.
