Reviews
The food was truly impressive and presented with care. We started with the hummus and warm bread, which had excellent flavor and a smooth texture. Our main dishes were colorful, fresh, and tasted every bit as good as they looked on the plate. Dessert was a highlight — beautifully plated with fruit and one of the best I’ve had, naturally sweet without being heavy or overly sugary.
The only real drawback was the service. For most of our visit we were the only guests in the restaurant, yet we still had to ask for drink refills and there were long stretches without seeing our server. There was a bit of a language barrier, which we understood, but the long periods without attention were disappointing given how quiet the restaurant was. Based on our experience, plan on being there for an extended amount of time under the current level of service — it’s not a quick in-and-out meal.
Overall, PIYOLA offers excellent food and a beautiful, relaxing atmosphere. With more consistent and attentive service, it has the potential to be an outstanding dining experience from beginning to end.
Firstly, the staff are just SO nice. Genuinely pleasant people who just want you to have a good meal.
Secondly, the store front looks small, but the back of restaurant is massive and fancily decorated, but feels comfily homey too.
Most importantly, the food was simple and straightforward, but packed with flavor and beautifully presented. And the prices are more than reasonable for what you get.
Highly recommend this as your next new restaurant!! Definitely going back myself. Get the raspberry cheesecake dessert!!!
1. The restaurant is gorgeous. From the lighting, the tapestries, the music, it’s all just so nice to be in. It felt fancy but not pretentious. Just a wonderful atmosphere.
2. The food was incredible. We ordered a bunch of stuff and ate family style, and I liked everything I had. I was born in the USSR so some of the foods were familiar to me, and really took me home to my mom’s cooking — but elevated in a really great way. (Frying the pelmeni is soooo yum.)
We will be going back very soon.
I’ve never had Uzbek food before so this whole experience was somewhat new for me. I went into this with no expectations. The fried potatoes as a starter was crispy, flavorful, yet fluffy inside. Perfectly done! The entree I ordered was the lamb shank. It is certified halal, which implies a certain level of quality. I enjoyed the lamb. It’s true, the meat was so tender it was falling off the bone and basically melted in the mouth. The flavor was very delicate and subtle with hints of cumin. I found the meal to be very well done, but was missing something (salt, acid…something I can’t put my finger on). Overall, though, very enjoyable and I don’t regret ordering it. My partner put it best, his meal tasted like something his mom would have made – meaning, good home style cooking. I’d definitely go back to try different dishes.
The restaurant is deceiving in that it looks small upfront but there’s a larger dining area in the back. The entire place is extremely clean and well managed. Service here was bar none. Truly some of the best service I’ve had in a very long time. The servers genuinely care about your experience and it really shows.
Go give this place a try!
