Our meal after the beach at Uma’s stopped me dead in my tracks. I couldn’t believe such a delicious meal was tucked all the way in Rockaway. Hands down one of the best meals I have had in a long time. We ordered practically all of the popular items: Plov, Manti, Borscht, Samsa, Korean carrot salad, and the lamb kebab. We shared everything family style and nothing missed. The balance of crunch with savory dishes drowned in sauce was perfect. The servers were very friendly and attentive the whole time and it was all reasonably priced for how much food we got. Highly recommend to anyone heading out to the beach and I’d even argue it warrants a trip out of the city in and of itself.

★★☆☆☆ “Authentic… in some unintended ways”

Stopped by this Uzbek restaurant hoping for a warm Central Asian welcome and a comforting plate of plov. What I got instead felt more like a self-service experiment.

Service? Practically a myth. The waitress didn’t bother with a menu introduction — just put it on the table and disappeared like a desert mirage. Specials? Who knows, maybe they’re special enough to remain a secret, she did not bother to explain what they are.

Ordered the pilaf, expecting that classic slow-cooked harmony of rice and meat. Instead, it arrived as a pile of rice with a few random chunks of lamb tossed on top like an afterthought. Definitely not cooked together — unless “together” now means “sharing the same plate.”

As for the lamb skewer — $18 for five small pieces. At that price, I almost expected a souvenir or at least a side of enthusiasm.

On the bright side, the food looked roughly Uzbek, and I didn’t leave hungry. But overall, the place could use a little more heart — and maybe a reminder that hospitality is supposed to be part of that cuisine.

Great to find this Uzbekistán restaurant in Rockaway.
We got some plates to share so we could all try different things,

I absolutely recommend the dumpligs as well as the kebab Fillet mignon and the lamb one. Both delicious.
The ice cream is interesting too.

If you’re gonna take the buckwheat make sure you pair to something creamy, or it’s very dry.
Also the turkey rice was not bad but I felt it was a bit dry.

Value was great, I feel the price was really reasonable, and the atmosphere is nice.

I’ll be back to try more plates!

Really amazing place. It’s a shame it’s so far out for me, because otherwise, it’d be a real frequent.

The place itself is nicely furnished, and has a decent amount of seating. It does get crowded, but only because the food is so good. The bathroom is nice and clean, and the service was nice. No complaints.

The food was amazing. The Korean carrot salad was stunning, and the samsa was a crowd favorite in my group. I got a lagman soup which was thoroughly enjoyable, and my group partners got manti and pelmeni, which were really great. The price was reasonable for the amount, and it’s more filling than it seems.

Truly an amazing place, and will come back whenever I’m done beaching around.

Very delicious food, incredible prices. Almost a fine dining experience but not including the crazy prices. Kimchi salad is a must try, if you’re in the neighborhood this is your place to eat!!

Food was delish! We got the uma salad, lentil soup and beef and lamb manti. It was so homey and satisfying. Will definitely come back next time I’m in the rockaways.

A very cute and hip uzbekistan restaurant that offers decently sized dishes. I love the moch Kichiri because it was packed with veggies and left me very full. The wait for your food to arrive can be very long and many of their dishes run out at night. Despite that, the waitstaff was very helpful and accommodating.

We were hungry and found ourselves in front of Uma’s restaurant. Everything I tried was delicious. Uma’s house salad, a leek filled something, salmon skewer, and roast potatoes. All super delicious. Our friends have 2 small children that ate everything on their plates. Shocking as they only want McDonald’s! Their parents both had lamb, and mashed potatoes. Their plates were licked clean. I can’t wait to go back.

I’ve dined here many times over the years and have always had an excellent experience. Their menu is quite interesting and diverse, and the food really hits the spot, especially after a cold, windy day at the beach. The atmosphere and vibes are always very cozy.
