#1 Uzbek Palace

East Flatbush keeps its small pockets of global flavors alive, and #1 Uzbek Palace is one of them. At 1985 Coney Island Ave, this Uzbek restaurant keeps things straightforward—lunch at noon or dinner after the workday, with choices that stay light or go hearty. The menu balances comforting staples and dishes that lean green, so whether you want manti or a fresh salad, there’s usually an option.

Call 718-676-2020 before you head over; dinner here often picks up pace once the sun sets, but the kitchen still takes its time to get orders right. The space leans casual, so you can arrive after errands or straight from the train without worrying about dress code or noise. Finding it means trusting the map link more than street signs—once you’re close, the storefront sits just off the avenue with plenty of storefronts around.

After a meal you can grab directions straight from Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/place?ftid=0x89c244eb7cdb95d3:0x4ae03008bd6ac253. The neighborhood changes fast, but spots like this keep the cuisine steady.
