Like MK, Forest Hills and Rego Park are the places to go to delve deeply into Bukharian food, like Tandoor on 63rd, Salut on 108th.

For the money, I find the soups, hummus, and lepeshke the best offerings at Taam Tov. I haven’t been since they moved…in part because the prices doubled and tripled for the kebabs and plovs.

Loved Taam Tov, it was great. Took 3 coworkers and we ended up staying. The Baksch is delicious, as are the samsas and the stuffed cabbage. Will definitely be going back soon!

Yay I’m so glad people are discovering the wonders of Central Asian cuisine. If you have an opportunity try the Chebureks and the Lagman. They are my two favorite dishes! Forest Hills, Queens is definitely the place to be to try these things! Enjoy!

I’m actually a bukharian Jew. The Mystery Herb you’re tasting is Chinese Parsley available at most grocery stores.
For those of you fascinated with Central Asian Cuisine or more specifically, Bukharian-Jewish cuisine.. There’s no better place than Forest Hills in Queens.. The stuff you get in midtown is unfortunately nowhere close to the good stuff you can get in Queens.

Thanks again for the hidden experience. This is one of those joints you walk by a million times and never know it is there. Literally. I went looking for it today and walked by it a millon times and couldn’t find it. LOL.
Had the meat SAMSA (meat pie) for $1.99. Awesome! It was nasty meat with tasty onions in a meat pie. Not enough to fill you up for lunch…but two maybe would! Or one and a soup would.
I also tried the Pilaf – Carrots, chickpeas, and some sort of meat product, onions, garlic…and I dumped half the bottle of the tasty hot sauce from the table all over it. It was really, really yummy.
The service is very fast, very polite.
Very yum.
If it wasn’t 90 degrees outside, the outdoors balcony is super neat.

I had the golubsty (stuffed cabbage) and it was delicious… it was large, came with potatoes and carrots, and cost $7. we also had the Salad Taam Tov (a tomato, cucumber, and onion salad) and the homemade bread–both were huge and delicious. My boyfriend had the rice described above, and while he enjoyed it, I found it too dry… but if you’re a stuffed cabbage fan, this is worth it!

[...] I thought I’d be able to depend on places like Kosher Deluxe or the Diamond Dairy to provide some good alternatives to bringing peanut butter and jelly on matzah to work- but no such luck. They are all closed during Passover! Also closed… Olympic Pita, Pick-a-Pita & Taam Tov. I couldn’t get a hold of Moshe’s Falafel (it’s a cart), or House of Pita- but I’m pretty sure they are both closed as well. [...]

This place is awful! I went there yesterday after reading the review (love this site btw) only to be very dissapointed. I spent about 12 dollars and got the green fried rice and chicken kabob. First of all, they def don’t give you your money’s worth as the food barely filled me up for lunch…second of all, everything from the kabab to the rice was EXTRA dry. If it wasn’t for the dry chicken and some hard pieces of uncooked rice, the bakhsh would’ve been pretty good….but the kabab…..there is no hope for….it was dry, stringy, and salty…so much so that i ate only two pieces and couldn’t take the rest.

truly dissapointing experience and a waste of my 12 dollars.
