Reviews for halal DASTARKHAN restaurant in San Francisco, CA
Went here last night and tried Uzbek food for the very first time. It was an amaaaazing experience masha Allah. The decor of the... restaurant catches your eye immediately and the way we were greeted was very pleasant. Once your seated, they servecomplimentary comforting and hot tea. We ordered the Kulcha Patir, Chicken Cubes and Sofi Osh (plov). Everything was fresh andSO good! I highly recommend this place, it?s so worth it!!! Read more
This place is an experience. It?s located on a cozy corner. The place is very neat, we underestimated the quantity of food and... ordered a lamb and chicken plate with pumpkin bread and a napoleon for dessert. We were so full by the end of the meal. Thepumpkin bread was delicious and the meat very juicy and soft. The cutlery and plates gave authentic feel of Uzbekistan. Read more
This restaurant certainly deserves the high rating it\'s got on Google. We ordered the Balaza soup and Olivier salad for... starters, both were really great. The main dishes were Sofi Osh (comes with small salad plate) and the lamb chops plate. Themeat was perfectly cooked and the rice was great. Food felt clean and the presentation was nice. We ordered honey cakeafterwards which was ok but not the best I\'ve had but the tea was complimentary which was a plus. The restaurant decor andambience were quite nice and relaxing, the bathrooms weren\'t too bad but could use some cleaning. Only downside is thereweren\'t enough waiters serving the tables and the portions felt a bit small, for me and my husband that wasn\'t an issue causewe don\'t eat a lot, but for people with greater appetite, it might feel like more is needed to be full. Last thing, theirprices are quite reasonable. Read more
I rarely ever give 1 start review because I\'m usually not picky and not easily disappointed but man this place is not the... greatest. When we came in we were seated pretty quick. The waiter brought out the tea pretty quick and said he will come backwith the menu. We waited about 20min before we decided to get up and ask for it..ended getting it from a different table. Wefinally decided on what we wanted to eat and waited about another 15min before our order was taken. 15 or so minutes theybrought out bread, with soup while others waited on their orders. 10 or so minutes later part of the order came out and it wasnot the rest of it. We asked for another tea pot they took it away and haven\'t brought it out till the end. We were stillmissing 2 things that we ordered at that time and finally the meat dish came out...like 50min later. I never received a seconddish that I ordered:/ I asked the waiters to cancel the order because I didn\'t want it anymore and both times they replied theywill see where the order is at. Anyways...never came out. The food was not good! Very very disappointing. Bread was a bit dryand manti were sour for some reason..could not finish them. I ended up going to a different restaurant to get something to eatafter. The dish that I didn\'t receive they didn\'t take it off the receipt. I tried to insist our friend to tell them to takeit off the menu but he insisted on paying. I know this sounds bad but we decided not to leave a tip instead. Probably would havewaited another 30 min for that to be resolved. Seemed like they only had 2 waiters for the whole restaurant..was verydisorganized. Maybe if they hired more help it would make their customer service better and efficient. I will not come back hereagain...ever. oh and had acid reflex the second I came out of that restaurant.

Good food, clean place, nice ambiance.\nWe got there around 5:00pm on a Sunday. It\'s still early for dinner, therefore not many... people. We were served with hot tea as complimentary. Everything we ordered were tasty, but I like the rice pilaf the most. Read more
Food was okay. Some were good but some were missing certain spices to give it the wow factor. Portions were generous. Place has... nice decor. Service was lacking. And....Seriously! $5 for hot tea in a tiny tea pot using a tea bag?!?! Plus they didn\'t tellme they charged for each pot. That\'s not cool. I thought I was getting 3 \"refills\" of hot water. But I guess for $5 each pot,it\'s nice that they gave us a new tea bag. Read more
Very happy to have stopped by here to try the food from Uzbekistan, we had a very warm reception and the server was fantastic.... The dumplings were delicious and the soup was fantastic. Very interesting flavours and not ones you try everyday.\n\nThe meatwas also really good and quite tasty. We really enjoyed our time here and will be back again if we are in the area! Read more
The food here is amazing. I went with a friend to catch up, and the atmosphere is perfect for a restaurant where you can still... have a conversation, without it being too quiet. I ended up having a dumpling soup and a uyghur dish and the soup wash fresh,bright and satisfying while the main dish was super savory and succulent. I wanted to keep eating it but I unfortunately onlyhave one stomach. The deserts are fantastic as well, and by the end of it, there wasn\'t a morsel left to be had. I also lovethe fact they serve fresh tea and leave it on the table. 10/10 on atmosphere, food, service and I will be back again! Read more
