Kensington Uzbek Shashlik Platters and Plov
Uzbek shashlik, plov and somsa from a Ditmas Avenue kitchen in Kensington.
🍢 Beyond the Skewers
Shashlik Uz N1 brings Uzbek cooking to 115 Ditmas Ave in Brooklyn, behind a storefront that keeps the first impression unassuming. The approach to dining at the restaurant is casual. Grilled skewers share the menu with somsa, lamb ribs and lula kebabs. Start with the part of the menu that catches your attention, then leave some room in the order to explore the rest of the kitchen. For osh, call ahead, as the sought after dish can sell out quickly.
The outdoor patio adds another setting for the meal. There is also a rooftop lounge that comes into its own during warmer months, taking this restaurant beyond the straightforward storefront stop you might have pictured from the street.
The restaurant stays open from 11 AM to 11 PM Monday through Wednesday and Friday through Sunday, with Thursday as its weekly closing day.
