Great place if you into Laghman, lots of other dishes, my favorite is Kuurdak and Baursaki. Been here many times, food and service are consistently great. Not a big fan of their pilaf though. Make sure you drink hot tea if you eat food like kuurdak, it has tons of fat in it and if you chase it with cold soda that will screw up you digestion. Personnel is super nice there by the way, very welcoming people

Second time I ordered from here, about 9 months apart. Samsa puff baked bun with traditional beef /萨姆萨酥皮烤包,内含传统牛肉 are delicious and very meaty with some spice in a flakey crust. The Smashed Cucumber Salad was better the first time, more spicy and flavorful. The Crispy eggplants with sweet tomato/香脆茄子配甜番茄 was delicious with a sweet and sour sauce. There were pieces that were still crispy when I got home. I would order this again. Portions were good with a lot of eggplant and tomatoes. Central asian manty /中亚曼蒂 were big and filed with spiced meat. Moguru laghman /莫古鲁·拉格曼 had lots of slices of spiced beef and also a lot of mushrooms. Unfortunately I don't like mushrooms so next time I may ask for more peppers & onions. Still tasted very good.
My friend who works at Laghman GA location told me about this place a few months ago. He said go and try. And I regret I waited ao long to do so. What a food!!!<br>DELICIOUS! All the italians should be learning from them how to do pasta business. Yea, it's THAT good.<br>Highly recommend. People just go and try it 💯
Second time here in 3 days, really feel welcome here. The traditional tea with milk really taste smooth and good portion for 3-4 people. The fried Manty and Samsa were so delicious. But only order Manty or Samsa, cause there were so many dishes left on the menu for you to try!!!!
TLDR: great service with tasty food, just wish they used real silverware and utensils<br><br>We got a medley of items for the 7 of us, my favorite was the sweet and sour fish, the dumplings and the cold noodles. Service was excellent, she was fun and really took care of us. Would highly recommend you come here!
Everyone knows Laghman Express has amazing food — it’s always busy and there’s usually a line, which says a lot! The dishes are consistently delicious.<br><br>But today I especially want to recognize two waitresses at their first location — Molly and Zhanerke. Even with a full restaurant and nonstop orders, they were incredibly polite, warm, and welcoming. Their tone of voice, kindness, and professionalism truly stood out. Working in such a fast-paced environment isn’t easy, but they handled everything with grace and positive energy.<br><br>Also, credit to the kitchen team — they work nonstop and still deliver high-quality, flavorful food every time.<br><br>Great food and wonderful people. Highly recommend!
Amazing service, comfortable and cozy dining space with such great Uzbek food. All the noodle and meat dishes were delicious. Exactly what we needed during this cold 17 degrees weather. Only issue: food was served in to go containers. Where as their other location on Coney Island Ave serve their dishes in beautiful ceramic green plates and bowls.Highly recommend!!!
Great restaurant . They have a sign on the wall saying they’re ranked among the top 100 restaurants in New York, and honestly, they live up to it.<br><br>Everything is clean, service is fast, and the staff is very friendly — they take the time to explain the menu and help with recommendations. The atmosphere is welcoming and comfortable.<br><br>It’s a perfect place to come for dinner and enjoy a delicious meal. Highly recommended — clean, tasty, and truly high quality.
We had an AMAZING experience at Laghman, this place kept coming up on my maps and I had been wondering about it! We were a group of 7 people, the first group got black fungus salad, smashed cucumber salad, lamb, and three types of noodles. Two of us came later and opted for chicken dumpling (vegetable was sold out) and lamb cold noodle laghman. Everything was excellent! Noodles had a great mix of toppings and noodles, there is a chili oil you can use on the table to add spice. Dumplings were not really my cup of tea… Another note is that their prices have gone up alot- if you look at the menu photos from<br>a year ago everything was cheaper by 2-3$. Even in the laat 7 months!
Everything is tasty and the portions are generous — definitely a must-try spot.<br>The stir-fried lamb is clean and flavorful with no excess oil.<br>The dry fried noodles has a really well-balanced sauce, and the noodles are nicely chewy.<br>The savory yogurt is unique and something I hadn’t tried before — highly recommended.<br>The lamb samsa is fluffy, crispy, and packed with flavor — hands down the best samsa in NYC.
I wish I took more pictures but sometimes when the food is so amazing you forget about all that and get straight to inhaling the food lol. This spot is my standout find of the year in ny. I thought the reviews would be bs, I was wondering how good can noodles be, I did not know I’d find my favorite noodle dish of my life this day. My plan wasn’t even to have this I sort of just experimented and little did I know I found one of my favorite spots of the year overall and for sure my favorite spot in nyc. Their hand pulled noodles are next level, I loved pretty much everything about the experience and they are definitely deserving of the great reviews. If you’re wondering if you should try this trust me you will not regret it.
I've never really had this kind of cuisine before, but everything was absolutely amazing! The waitress was so nice, I asked her for recommendations and she didn't fail me ☺️ the flavor was sooo good, I loved the lamb, the mini dumplings, and the noodles. I can't wait to come back and try out the other dishes!
Wonderful food. The lamb manty had a very rich tasty filling that paired well with the fresh herbs and sour cream. The crispy fried eggplant was an unexpected delight. We opted for two of the most popular hand pulled noodle dishes, and both were excellent. I would recommend the lamb over the beef - but I am partial to lamb. The server was very friendly and helpful. Portions are huge, we had tons of leftovers to bring home!
Today we went there for dinner and the staff were really welcoming. They are really well behaved. And the food is soo good ! The portion is also very good. Definitely gonna visit again soon. No wonder why they have so many good reviews! Love love love. My 3 year old toddler loved their dumplings. 🤌🏻❤️
The food at this restaurant is nothing short of exceptional, boasting vibrant flavors and exquisite presentation. The service is equally impressive, with attentive staff who ensure a delightful dining experience. Additionally, the portions are generous, providing great value for reasonable prices. I truly have no complaints—this place exceeds expectations in every way.
