Take out.
Food is delicious. Packed with flavor. Must try.
Lamb chop (5/5)- soft tender juicy. Flavorful.
Fried lagman (5/5) – packed with flavor. Soft noodles. A bit oily, but very good. Must try.
Medovik (4/5)- good to try. Soft. Moist. not overly sweet.

Very friendly staff, large menu with traditional Uzbeki foods as well as subs, pizza, pasta dishes. We had the Lagman and the cheese boat from the Uzbeki menu, and ordered an XL thin crust pepperoni pizza to take home for the Jan2026 ice storm. All dishes were very good and reasonably priced. The pizza had a great flavor, just wished the crust was a little bit crispier on the bottom, but the slight floppiness may have been due to it being boxed to go. We will definitely try this place again, will try the Kebabs next time.

This was my first time dining at this restaurant. The food portions were generous and the serving staff was great. I ate the steamed dumplings with ground meat with onions. When my guest asked if I liked the dumplings I gave a mixed review. The dumplings resembled giant wontons, but the onions in them tasted like what I’d find on a McDonald’s hamburger or a Krystal burger. They left a lingering flavor in my mouth that I’d rather forget. The fried dumplings were better but they still had too much onion. It seems strange to say that because onions are my favorite vegetable.

We loved this restaurant!!! It was our first time here, so we wanted to sample some of the Uzbeki cuisine…and we absolutely were not disappointed! Everything was delicious! My daughter and I shared the Bamaza Eggplant, Butternut Squash Samsa and Vegetable Kebab (which came with rice and potatoes po domashni-the most amazing grilled potatoes with caramelized mushrooms and onions!).
My less adventurous father ordered the Eggplant Parmesan that came with spaghetti, garlic bread and a salad. He said it was very good. It looked delicious!
We were intrigued by the desserts on the menu, and chose the Black Forest Cake (baked fresh and onsite) and Medovik (Russian Honey Cake-also baked at the restaurant). These were probably some of the best desserts that I have ever had (no exaggeration)!!!
What a delicate, yet decadent way to finish our meal!
The best part of this new dining experience was our server and host. (I believe his name is Zedd?)
From the moment we walked into the very cozy and colorful dining room, we felt welcome and at ease. He graciously answered several of our questions and was happy to explain details about the various plates, along with helping with recommendations. He also provided extra sauces to take home with our leftovers!
Besides that he even shared his own experience about making the Medovik and gave me insight as to how it’s prepared and encouraged me to try making it! I definitely won’t be able to replicate it, but I will absolutely be returning to order it again!
This was for us a hidden gem, but definitely one to be shared!

I happened to be Garner this past weekend, and came across this Uzbek food establishment. I’ve have Uzbek food in Cary, and I love it! This business is clean and the service was fast and pleasant. My dish, fried lagman was good, but the noodles were more wet than I prefer with this dish. It was flavorful, but the texture wasn’t what I preferred. I suggest you all give it a try!

This was our first time trying Uzbek cuisine and we are definitely fans! The Bamaza eggplant appetizer was delicious and so unique. The Borscht (soup/stew), Manti (dumplings), and Non (bread) were all fantastic and the tzatziki sauce was amazing; definitely freshly prepared! The service and atmosphere/decor were both great as well. We will be back many times for sure!

We love authentic Uzbek food, so we were excited to try this place. The food overall tasted pretty good, especially the fried manti that was definitely our favorite. However, we were a little confused by the mix of Italian and Uzbek dishes being made in the same kitchen.
You can actually taste the Italian influence in some Uzbek dishes. For example, the tomato-based dishes tasted like they had pizza sauce/oregano, and the cheesy Uzbek-style bread was topped with parmesan cheese, which felt more Italian than Uzbek.
So while the food is enjoyable and would probably be great for someone who doesn’t know real Uzbek cuisine, it’s not 100% authentic. It feels more like a fusion restaurant rather than a traditional Uzbek experience.
Overall, good taste but not what we expected if you’re looking for true Uzbek flavors.
Fried manti highly recommended, though.

Truly one of the best hidden gem restaurants I’ve found in Raleigh. Everything we ate was authentic, full of flavor, and unique. You will not find food quite like this anywhere else in the area. Also a very clean interior with plenty of seating. Can’t wait to come back!

We celebrated my birthday at Karavan by 3 Olives – Uzbek Cuisine, and everything was absolutely amazing!
The food was incredibly delicious. The shashlyk and kebab were especially outstanding — the meat was perfectly cooked, juicy, and full of flavor. The pumpkin samsa was simply amazing, and the grilled vegetables were fresh and perfectly prepared.
The waitress was very kind and attentive, the atmosphere was warm and cozy, and everything was very clean. We even had the chance to meet the chef and personally thank him for such perfectly cooked meat. The owner is also very pleasant and welcoming.
We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to everyone! Thank you, guys
