Cafe Two Way

I thought European breads were great, until I tried their plain «people’s bread» or Uzbek Pie Bread ! Great plain bread with sesame seeds that is great for any dish that uses Italian/​French loaves. But I like it even better. Their Samsa’s are fantastic (meat and onion filled breads) as is their Lamb Kebobs. I can see myself buying my weeks worth of People’s bread, and freezing them for use on a weekly basis.

This place is one of the best in Bensonhurst in terms of Middle Eastern food. When you walk in you are greeted by a woman there to take your order. As I took a look around the restaurant I noticed that the place was empty which meant good news for me. I love the Uzbek dishes that they had to offer. They had anything from lagman to samsa, etc. The food tastes great and brings back good memories from my home country. The food gets made quiet fast so you don’t have to wait so long behind the table. Their tables, however, are not mad for a big group. It is intended for 2 – 4 people. Besides that, the place itself is pretty clean. They can renovate the place a bit to give it more life. I wouldn’t mind giving this place a try if I were you.

Excellent food at a super affordable price.
Best plov & samsa I have had in NY.
Truly a gem.

I believe this place have the best Tandoor SAMOSA in NY
Same as Tandoori Restaurant in 99^th ST
This Place is not like a restaurant but food is good

Café Two Way confuses me. On their sign, they’re called Chaihana (Tea House) Two Way. Online, they’re called Café Two Way. On another sign in front of the door, they’re Tandoori Food & Bakery. One the inside, they advertise as Chaihana Salom. What doesn’t confuse me, though, is how ridiculously delicious and authentic everything they prepare is.
Upon stepping in, you’re greeted by a fairly timid mom and pop setting. Four small tables, a sink, a small counter, and walls decadently decorated with paintings and mementos of Uzbekistan. The workers are down to Earth and get straight to the point. No time for chit chat when you have a thriving business to run.
— Samsa: We were told by family friends that Two Way has the absolute best samsa in all of Brooklyn. While that’s a bold statement, they are definitely up in my top rankings. The crust is of perfect thickness and flakiness. Inside, you are greeted my a monstrous amount of lamb, onions, and delectable lard. Juices flow out like the nectar of the Uzbek gods. What makes their samsa so special is that they have a legit tandoor in the back. It’s not the same as what you might find in a Tashkent street market, but its very close.
— Shurpa: A tomato based soup of lamb, potatoes, and other vegetables. Wonderfully prepared and full of that distinct aroma that shurpa is known for. One of the best I’ve had.
Most patrons you will see here are locals. English will be rarely heard, but I’m sure is spoken. Next time I’m back in New York, I’ll be sure to return and place a to-​go order for half a suitcase full of samsa to bring back to California.
These guys are ruthless too. The sign outside says «Those who do not drink tea will be ended.» The Russian word «hana» means death, the end, but is also included in the word «chaihana» = tea house. Clever play on words. Drink your tea, kids. I don’t think you want to be ended.
