Taam Tov

Good place to eat kosher food This is the place to eat good kosher food wow amazing place The prices are cheaper than compared to others good service quick you guys would not be disappointed highly recommend it

This place comes with good and bad experiences. Their meat and soup are not always fresh, but there are times that it does. I dnt care about how good they are the worst part is that it takes them 50 minutes to bring the food to your office by that time it’s already too late. Worst delivery out there

I’ve popped into this place several times on the way home from work and the food is always Hot, fresh, and really inexpensive. I usually to stick to Burekkas and have tried the shawarma and falafel which are always available on the go. They are always pretty busy for the site down service.

I’m putting 5 stars, because I can’t put more than that. I would give it all 6 stars. Food was phenomenal. Samsa, Shishkabab, & lamb chops were out of this world delicious. Not an expensive cuisine at all for a Glatt kosher place. Service was excellent. I would definitely recommend this amazing place to everyone. Step by & taste it yourself.

I am giving one star because there is no way to give less. It was not our first visit to this place but definitely the last one. Our party consisted of six persons including a French-​Jewish guest whom we wanted to take to a kosher restaurant.
Food was just Ok, though not fresh prepared but reheated but the service was non-​existant. Three times we needed to ask for additional glasses before they at last were delivered. Water was never put on the table, bread — when we had already almost finished our meals. One of the appetizers never arrived, another was delivered after the main course. We also ordered a bottle of wine that has never arrived. When we reminded, the response was: «It’s coming» but when we finished our meals we simply cancelled the bottle that had no sense for us anymore.
In my life I have not had such an experience. I think the place should simply go if this standard of service is maintained. There are many other kosher establishments in the area.

Very delicious food good service and not too expensive if who said it’s expensive restaurant maybe the don’t have a enough money in pocket that’s why of course better 2 hot dog for 3 $… this restaurant cheaper then queens and Brooklyn I live in Queens but I’m working in Diamond st and I always eat from here… I always recommend this restaurant

If you are looking for customer service, look elsewhere. The food is tasty but pretty high in fat and carbohydrates. Traditional Eastern European Jewish food. Try Mr Broadway for better quality kosher food.

Read the 1 – 3 star reviews below and you will get a very good sense of this restaurant. They are highly accurate. I’m not sure how anybody can give this place 5 stars.
The Atmosphere: As described, it has plastic tablecloths on the tables, and interesting decorative painting on the wall consistent with a Uzbeki restaurant. The place was mostly clean with a few issues noted below. — For a restaurant in this price range, I give it a 4.
The bathroom — Hot water handle missing from the sink. Paper towels strewn on the floor (why not put in a garbage can without a swinging cover so people can just toss the towels in instead of tossing them on top? Who wants to touch that cover?). But at least it was not filthy. I give it a 2.
Service — The service absolutely sucks. We had to call over a waiter after sitting for 20 minutes. The kid was clueless. They were out of beer. Who runs completely out of beer? HE said it was a busy day. Who keeps only enough beer on stock for one day. A coke took at least 20 minutes to get. Same with a glass of wine. Eventually we got a new waiter who was much more responsive. Water for the table took at least 20 minutes from when we asked for it. To add insult to injury, they included a service charge on the bill. I guess they know that if it is not included on the bill, no one would leave a tip. I give service a 1.5.
Food — It is difficult to me to rate the food since I am not familiar with Uzbeki food. So I will not hold flavors I didn’t like against them. Israeli salad was good. Lagman Soup and Kharcho soup were good. Lots of vegetables and meat. The meat was very fatty and clearly a cheap cut. The flavors were not for me, but no reduction in my review for that. The bread everyone keeps talking about was fresh, but otherwise, it was just a fresh bread. I’m not sure why anyone would refer to the bread as a delicacy. But it was fresh and tasty.
We had the Manty for an appetizer. It came with 5 pieces. I think this was the best part of the meal. It was very tasty, although not pretty and seemed greasy. But I would have eaten more (we were sharing).
Just a comment on value. The main dishes and Manty were about $ 14 each. I have seen some commenters say that the plates are large. They are not. The portions are modest and on small plates. You are not getting overflowing plates in this place. The portions should be larger for the price.
For mains, we had the Beef Stroganoff and the Bakhsh. The Stroganoff came with fries. In the end, we had leftover Stroganoff, and the fries were bathed in Stroganoff sauce and were also left over. The fries are commercial. I would avoid the Stroganoff. If three of us couldn’t see to finish off the plate it tells you something.
The Bakhsh was very good and we finished that plate. I recommend it.
We had a pot of black tea at the end which was very good.
Bill for 3 was $ 116 including service and tax.
I might go back, since there are few kosher restaurants and this place at least offers something different for a reasonable price. Just know what you are getting yourself into before you walk in.

Simply Taam Tov is my favorite restaurant in NYC. It has that special atmosphere wich makes you come back over and over. Friendly stuff, very tasty cousine!!! varity of cosher food, and of course its famous magic ambient. I would highly recommend you to try their kababs and chicken tabaka… and for sure don’r forget to ask for the best humus and taheena ever)

3^rd floor of a bldg in the diamond district… clean place with interesting décor. Hip in the sense that it is located in a non-​traditional location, otherwise the food is ok. And, at $ 15 a plate. not exactly a deal for what you get. Wouldnt make an effort to swing by.

I used to eat in this area more. Unfortunately, a number of places have closed down. I loved Diamond Dairy, which made wonderful latkes and pierogies, and I really miss it. A few years back, a friend of mine introduced me to a Kosher Uzbek restaurant, which has also closed down. Last week, I had lunch with a friend who keeps Kosher. On a lark, I did a Unilocal search for Kosher Uzbek, and I found this place. I’m glad I did.
We started out with samsas, which are pastries filled with meat and onions. The meat inside was juicy and tasted wonderful. My friend and I then shared an Uzbek rice pilaf, with beef and veggies. The dish was large and easily shared by two people, and very filling. We also ordered a side of bread, which was freshly baked and wonderful.
The only bad thing I can say is that we really loaded up on the carbs. I was so full that I skipped dinner, which isn’t a complaint.
We finished off with a Turkish coffee and a pareve (no dairy) cake. I’m used to Turkish coffee being more «muddy,» but this was pretty good. The cake was nice as well.
I saw lagman, an Uzbek meat soup, on the menu. I’ve had this soup before at the previous restaurant, and it is wonderful. One day I have to try the lagman at this place.
One note: since this place is Kosher and serves meat, there is no dairy here.
I noticed that they also served Chinese food here. I didn’t try it, so I don’t know if it is good or bad.
All-​in-​all, my friend and I had a great experience here. If you are curious about what Uzbek cuisine is like, and you don’t want to go out to Queens (I have read that there are some great Kosher Uzbek restaurants in Queens), this is a great place to visit.

I’m from Uzbekistan and this was my first Uzbek meal in NYC. It seems to be the only place in midtown where I could get some «plov» fix… it does the job. Not exciting but probably above average. We had manti (dumplings), achichuk (tomato salad), plov (the most famous Uzbek rice dish) and shurpa soup. A bit on a pricy side for it’s quality but I will be back anyway as there’s no alternatives in the area. It’s a safe choice if you want to try a new off bitten track cuisine.

I did not like how they don’t give pita or any bread with their baba ganoush. Why not just up the price and include pita? This is strange to me. It was good but would of been better with pita
I really like what I ordered Golubtsy and the beet salad it was delicious
What my friend ordered he was not happy with. Chicken shish kabab

I ordered from here the other night with GrubHub.
The main issue was the delivery person did not follow the instructions I provided for delivery. Their poor command of English was evident, as they did not go to the proper area (I wrote on Grub Hub to go to the basement, and the delivery person refused to do so, until a security guard directed them. Meanwhile, my food got cold).
The food itself was not among the best Bukharian food I’ve had. I certainly enjoyed Bukharian food in many other places, but this wasn’t special. The samsa were one dollar more than usual per piece, but since this is Manhattan, I’ll give them a pass. They were crispy, flaky, and the filling was tasty, although not juicy like others I’ve had.
The bakhsh, green Uzbek pilaf, was forgettable. It was full of tiny pieces of chopped up shawarma meat, not a nice piece of lamb in sight. 15 dollars for rice, a teaspoon of herbs, and maybe half a tablespoon of chopped leftover hard bits of shawarma. I would order again if I needed to, but wouldn’t go out of my way to order here again.

I was in this restaurant food was great tasty hmmm lagman and steaks was so jusy and delicious… I like this place am enjoyed.

They serve homey style kosher food that fits the bill. You come here when you want comfort food.
We started off with the Lepeshka (Non), which is a very thick bread. It was so soft and a nice prelude to the meal.
I got the Bakhsh, which is Bukharian rice pilaf. It’s a rice heavy dish with chicken in it. My friend got the Golubtsy, which I think it more of a Hungarian dish. It was cabbage leaves stuffed with minced beef, rice, and herbs. It came with large chunks of vegetables.
The décor in the restaurant is very pretty. The walls are painted to make you feel like you’re in a small village.
Nothing here is particularly memorable but you could do worse, especially in tourist-​infested Times Square.

A friend of mine recommended me to try this restaurant, the service is really fast and the food taste good I ordered soup called shyrpa and and beef barbeque with fresh salad, bread, snapple etc.

The food is pretty meh, but the lepechka is really good. I come here for the soups. They’re inexpensive for this area and are pretty good. Some of the stuff is surprisingly overpriced, like the manti.
Basically nothing here is amazing, but it’s pretty okay.

I came here for one reason, and one reason only. Uzbek Pilaf!
It was also a pleasant surprise to see that this is all Glatt Kosher food. We came here strictly for the Uzbek pilaf, and I’m glad we did. The rice was cooked to perfection and the beef was very tender. The food came out very quickly, and the waitress was very patient and nice to us. She explained everything on the menu.
The place is pretty prices, but then again, the Glatt Kosher tag brings up the prices. Hard to find Uzbeki cuisine in Los Angeles, so I’m glad I went here and had the chance to try it out.
The restaurant is located on the 3^rd floor. We were lured in by a man with the Taam Tov sign on the sidewalk in front of the restaurant. Was that supposed to happen?

A hidden gem in the Diamond District, it will satisfy your craving for good kosher Uzbeki food like no other restaurant in Manhattan (obviously). Yes kosher food with a twist, and it tastes good, like the name implies (Taam Tov = good taste). At dinner, there was plenty of space, a few diners, and very pleasant service. For lunch, I used the take-​out window to help avoid the lunchtime crush.
They serve a hot meat borscht that is delicious, full of vegetables and chunks of brisket, and tastes of cumin. Break off chunks of the delicious lepeshka (Uzbeki bread) and dip them into the borscht for a real treat. The bread is a dense circular rye loaf with sesame seeds on top. Quite tasty. The stuffed cabbage were as close to home made as you can get in a restaurant, and enough for two meals, served with roasted carrots and potatoes. A glass (or bottle) of kosher wine will add to your enjoyment big-​time.
You won’t get fat eating here; portion sizes are not generous. Plus there are some fringe benefits to walking up the two flights of stairs to the restaurant. First, the exercise, and second, if you’re cash poor and bring your spare diamonds, jewelry and gold, you can sell them at the shop on the second floor landing and pay for dinner easily.
