Authentic Central Asian halal spot with standout noodles, kebabs, and plov at fair prices; service can be inconsistent and some portion/value complaints persist.
Arzan Cafe delivers solid neighborhood dining through strong food quality in signature dishes like lagman and kebabs, supported by loyal repeat customers and good value. However, inconsistent execution—occasional dry plov, salty dishes, and protein-light soups—combined with variable service reliability during busy periods prevents a higher grade. The cozy, welcoming atmosphere and authentic Central Asian comfort food make it competitive with respected local favorites, though it lacks the distinction of premier dining destinations.
One caveat: Service inconsistency—some tables report long waits for ordering and water; improves off-peak
