monavano....thx for tip! I was in the Krewstown/Bustleton/Red Lion area for a hockey tournament and just stumpled across it I live in northern virginia near Washington DC. What other Russian places do you recommend in Philly? Historically, has there always been a large russian population outside of philly? I was shock to find an Uzbek place in north philly!

Tashkent 842 Red Lion Road #3-4, Philadelphia, PA 19115-1475 Cuisines: Russian Tel: 215-464-0106 Try the lamgard soup....outstanding...stew soup w/ lamb, noodles, and vegetable Lamb and chicken kebats are jumping with fresh herbs flavors kebats are $2-3 a skewer....with 5 pieces each served w/ onions on the side I ordered a hot entree that included lamb meat but it wasnt as good as piping hot kebats fresh off the charcoal grill so I would recommend you order like 5 kebats and ask for rice on the side.....what a bargain!!!

spent the wkend in philly.....drove past a small uzbekistan restaurant my friends and I decided to give it a shot with an open mind. We read the menu posted on the front glass door. Reasonable prices. Soups/salads from $3-5. Hot entrees from $5-10. Kebobs from $2-5. Very intimate setting and middle eastern decor. Two flat screen tv playing old 80's music video. Had a very surreal feel to the restaurant. We decided to try a little of everything. The waitor was patient with us and explained what each dish was. The menu is written in native uzbekistan script on the main side. The back side had an less than stellar english version. We found out why this is case with the stream of native customers coming in. We were the only non-native patrons. We were shock at how good everything was. I am back in northern virginia now and would like to continue exploring my new found love of authentic uzbekistan cruisine. Please advice on where I shall direct my next trip. Thanks.
