Kosher Uzbek Dining with Shoeless Tent Seating in Rego Park
Try plov and ground lamb shish kebabs from a kitchen certified by the Vaad Harabonim of Queens.
🫓 Bukharian Classics
Plov and ground lamb shish kebabs lead the way at Chaikhana Sem Sorok, a Rego Park cafe serving Bukharian and Uzbek classics. Manti and samsa are also part of the menu. The kitchen uses a real tandoor, putting another traditional element behind a meal on Booth Street. Give this stop a proper sit down rather than squeezing it between errands, with the cooking at the center of the plan.
The kitchen is certified by the Vaad Harabonim of Queens, and kosher BYOB is permitted. Out front, the tent offers traditional shoeless seating. That is the part to flag to whoever is joining you, especially when an outdoor meal usually means a pavement table and an ordinary chair.
Hours run Sunday through Thursday from 7 AM to 9 PM and Friday from 7 AM until two hours before sunset, with Saturday closed.
