I had never been to a Uzbek restaurant (I came to learn that Begim is the only such restaurant in Alberta and the next closest is in Toronto) and wasn't too sure what to expect. The food. service and ambiance were perfect; we felt like we were sitting in a friends dining room as they encouraged us to try more and stay as long as we wanted. The flaky, hand made beef samosa was delicious and our sampling of deserts (we tried 3) were anything but ordinary but the lamb kebab was outstanding; cooked perfectly and with so much flavor. It's funny, we may have never visited Begim without an invitation but we will most certainly be back.

Excellent food, very carefully prepared, delicate flavours, gracious hosts, I think Calgary is lucky to have Begim! read more Excellent food, very carefully prepared, delicate flavours, gracious hosts, I think Calgary is lucky to have Begim!
