Cafe SAMARKAND Pitt

Friendly staff of family owners. This time I enjoyed Uyghu noodle soup and for desert the honey cake Medovik. They have more cakes but I always gets the honey cake. I have tried before the Zamarkand bread which goes well with their available soups.

The lamb skewer had a lot of fat cubes.

Love the plov and the noodles! The kabab is also very good!

All the tables were dirty. I had to go to the bathroom to get paper towels to clean off the table where we sat. The meat in the plov wasn't tender at all and didn't taste fresh.

Pros: The staff is nice, and it’s an alright spot for a meal. Cons: It’s hit or miss; you might get something good, but they will try to offload old or spoiled food on you if they can. The service makes you feel like you are a burden. A second pot of tea is not fresh but rather the first pot topped off with hot water, yet they still charge full price. I’ve been four times, not by choice, but just because friends kept dragging me along. I have been there four times in the last two to three years and nothing has changed, unfortunately.

First the food was alright but when I went to pick up my order one of the employees give me a mean look and said straight to my face you ordered late...?? Like first of all your open until 12 and me ordering from your shop earns you money and what does it matter to u if I order more than one bag?? also the chicken wasn't chicken

Their food is really good. If you want Central Asian food.

The borscht was delicious, but unfortunately, the overall experience was very disappointing. The menus were dirty and greasy, which immediately gave a poor impression of the restaurant’s cleanliness and attention to detail. Our waitress did not speak enough English to explain the menu, so when we asked questions about certain dishes or ingredients, she was unable to provide clear answers. Several items on the menu were also unavailable. The food was served carelessly, and at one point the server’s fingers actually touched the inside of the plate while bringing it to the table, which was very unpleasant and raised concerns about hygiene. After we paid, we had to wait quite a while just to get takeout containers for our leftovers. When we finally left, there were no employees anywhere in the dining area to say goodbye or assist customers. The restaurant itself also looks run-down and poorly maintained and could definitely use some attention and improvement. The one positive part of our experience was the borscht—it was very tasty. Unfortunately, good food alone cannot make up for poor cleanliness, service, presentation, and the overall condition of the restaurant.

A place so awesome, I would go there to eat every single time I was hungry if I could. The food was served fast and cheap, but despite that, it was the most delicious thing in my entire life. The portions were huge (so huge, one portion can easily feed two people). Moreover, the variety of drinks was impressive at least! There is a WHOLE fridge full of soft drinks of different kinds. The owner was very friendly and nice! Multiple times, he came over to ask how we like the food and if we want anything else. he answered all of our questions in depth and told us A LOT about the decorations. If I was to recommend ANY restaurant in this world, this is definitely my first choice. This is the best place for those who look for a comfy, home-like restaurant to eat at!
