Old Bukhara (Uzbek) - Freehold

So we tried it already, 2 weeks ago, the first weekend they were open.

We started with 2 soups, the shurva (lamb and vegetables) and the chuchvara (meat dumplings in broth). Both were very good. The dumplings were better than Shirin but the broth is better at Shirin.

We then split Bahur salad, tomato, cucumber, green apple and avocado with a lemon dressing that was excellent.

For entrees we had a lamb kabob which was very good and Tabaka (Uzbek fried chicken) which was not very good. We received a whole chicken cut up which is nice value for the money but it was greasy and not well seasoned, we didn’t eat much of it.

We skipped dessert but they sounded good and are made in house.

The owner was very nice and seemed to take our feedback (good and bad) seriously. We will return for another try because most of the food was good and it was only the first weekend they were open. I was going to wait for a second visit to post but somebody nominated me to post now.
