| - Kavsar serves Uzbek and Russian foods. I had never eaten Uzbek food, but I grew up eating Russian foods because of my two Russian grandparents. Tonight to celebrate Russian Christmas Eve, I decided to give this restaurant a try. I was worried about not having a reservation, but when my husband and I showed up, only one other table was occupied. We chose a table ourselves upstairs. I noticed that some lights in the room were out, although the room was still well-lit, and some tables had dirty tablecloths. There was a large TV on the wall that played music and videos. The waitress soon introduced herself and handed us the menus. Throughout the service, she was nice, offered drink refills, and brought out our food on time. I really enjoyed the taste of my samsa (a large crispy pastry with ground beef inside), borsch (cabbage, beef, beans, and potato in beet broth), and vareniki (eight pierogies filled with potato). My husband, who is not of Russian or Uzbek ancestry, ordered only one dish (I think the gampan, which is rice with vegetables and beef or chicken). I liked my food better than his. The total bill was only about $32 plus tip. I will have to talk my husband into bringing me back here in the future so I can try more dishes. I encourage other people to give this restaurant a try.
