| - I came here for lunch with a coworker. We were in and out in about 35-40 minutes, just perfect. Service was excellent, courteous, etc.
It's set in a strip mall, and inside you get very interesting Uzbek music videos playing, which kind of sets the vibe. It looks the back of the restaurant could be a stage for some dancing, which is kind of interesting.
Everything has pictures, which makes ordering easy.
We ordered a nice tabbouleh salad ($2.50), which tasted incredibly fresh (I'm not a huge fan of this salad, but it seemed healthy, and this was as good as any other I had tried), and was easily enough to share with 2-3 people as a small appetizer. I tried a recommended dumpling appetizer ($8), which was 5 giant steamed dumplings with onions and meat minced inside, very interesting but good.
For the main course, we each had a sandwich. I had the kebob sandwich, with nice lean chunks of steak inside, pickle, onions, sauces, etc. in a pita. Nicely filling, and a great value at $5.
My companion had the chicken version, minus pickle, for $4.50.
So for less than $20 prior to tip, we had a nice two course meal for two.
Outstanding value, quality ingredients (I judge the quality of a restaurant a lot by the quality of the meat they put in things like sandwiches).
Good service, okay ambiance. This isn't a romantic date night spot, but if you are looking for something out of the ordinary with quality food, I think you could do a LOT worse than Golden Valley. The fact that the prices are so cheap is just a bonus.
I'll be back.
