Nursel Central Asian Russian Cuisine

Vegetarian options: Some veg optionsDietary restrictions: Halal

Food is ok but nothing compared to the original Uzbek or Russian cuisine. Lagman was served cold with tons of bell peppers. Plov was ok. We were sitting outside and staff never checked on us. We had to go inside to order and if we needed napkins or wanted to add something to our order. Would not go back as not worth the money at all.

Great atmosphere and service. Infinitely delicious food and drinks. The portions are large. We had lunch with great pleasure. Thank you! ??

Very very overpriced! We have ordered a jar of compot around 0.3 gallon and it costs 24$ Crazyyy!
