I remember seeing on their website that they cook over charcoal. It’s definitely worth trying. They’re open for lunch too. I’m 10 minutes away (as is @seal) so let us know if you’re planning to go.
Thanks, @CurlzNJ, for the helpful description. Turns out I’d neglected to upload the photo to my Flickr. It’s now in the set with the correct labeling.
Well my dilemma is this place or aarzu. I’m not sure which to try first I think either way will be fun. I will try to get out there soon. Also, if you guys are over here, Bombay river opened in red bank. I am game to try that if anyone is up for it. The menu is now up and they opened last night…literally.
@CoachDonna were those lamb short ribs? I’ve never tried those (at least that I can think of)
Obviously, I’m not @CoachDonna, but yes they were.
Nice…I always have ribs, chops or shank. I don’t think I’ve had lamb short rib. I think that means I will need to get over there
I’ve never had them before. And they were small. But incredibly juicy and delicious.
The lamb short ribs reminded me of tiny flanken style or Korean style short ribs, cut into individual pieces. I remember back in the day my mother making lamb chops with flat, square bones forming one side. I have no idea what cut they were. They were kosher and maybe something not generally available.
The Qozon kebab reminded me of oxtail on steroids. They had a center bone that look very vertebral. I did not find them highly seasoned. They braised until tender but with still a little bit of chew in them.
As good as all the food was, meeting folks I already felt like I knew was the best part of the meal.
I too really enjoyed those tiny lamb short ribs. Each and every item was really tasty and a new flavor for me. But like MsBean says, it was meeting people in person that really put the meal over the top for me!
Glad to see everyone had a great time, my apologies for not being able to make it. Saturday was my fathers birthday and at 84 it’s not something I can miss or want to reschedule.
Nice meal…glad to see it worked out. The food looks great (thanks for the pictures Roz). If any of you are ever in Brooklyn & want more of Uzbek cooking, I highly recommend checking out Nargis. The original on Ave Z/Coney Is. Ave has an extensive menu, but the newer one in Park Slope is great as well. And, if you need company, well, we’re always hungry.
@SteveR, So nice to see you here! It’s my pleasure to provide photos.
