AI-generated summary
Get the plov. People call it the best in the city, and the uma and come up almost as often. Regulars say the soups are the reason to go once it's cold out. It's a long trek to Rockaway, so most people pair it with a beach day. A couple of complaints about an underseasoned and a dry samsa.

“the best Uzbek restaurants in NYC are Kashkar Cafe in Brighton Beach and Uma’s in Rockaway Beach. Both are perfect for beach days when it gets warm, but Uma’s has the best soups for when its freezing out”
