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!
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
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 e
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 a
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
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.
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 t
I have been 4 x in the last two weeks. Delicious filling food. Be patient as food is prepared as ordered. Worth waiting for. Favorite cocunut lentil soup.
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. High
A big "Let's go to the Rockaways" reason. Butternut squash dumplings are to die for. Many of the daily dishes just absolutely wonderful. Portions are large and great for sharing so just have it! Get a bunch of dishes and share! And then there's the beer: Ukrainian, Russian and European! You will not
Very cool that they had Ukrainian beer on tap. Comfortable, airy interior. Attentive service. The dishes tasted authentic. I'm a meet eater, so I had a plov and lamb kebabs. Both dishes were fresh and tasted great. The plov had crispy rice with cooked carrots, generous chunks of melt in your mou
Always enjoy the food here. The Kabobs and Uma's salad are fabulous. Also love the plov, palmeni, borscht soup and manti.
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 s
The food is good especially the Samsa
. For lamb kebab and chicken kebab, it is above the average to be honest. The lamb kebab is 11 dollar per skewer and chicken is 7. The samsa is strongly recommended.
Was so happy to see so many yummy bits for really reasonable prices. My tummy was grateful for all the tea and how filling but light the meal was. I hope to be back soon
The best restaurant in the rockaways right now imo. Super friendly staff, delicious food, seating, takeout and close to the beach.
Many restaurant food differ in quality from indoor to takeout. Not here.
I only went once or so before the pandemic, but the quality since the pandemic with takeout has
Got a lot of food the night we were there. Everything was great but make sure you save room for dessert.
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.
