Shirin Cafe

One of our favorite restaurants in the area! It's such a welcoming place with delicious food. We've tried the Manti, Meat Kutabi, Uzbek Plov, and Pork Shashlik, and everything was fantastic. My personal recommendation is the Meat Kutabi—crispy with juicy meat inside, it reminds me of the Crimean dish Yantyk. Make sure to order manti in advance, as there is bit of a wait time for them (~ 30 minutes). They are making this dish from scratch and do not freeze it. The shashlik was tender, juicy, and well-seasoned, while the plov was perfectly flavorful. The staff here are wonderful—friendly, attentive, and they provide excellent service.

Excellent Slavic food, owners and staff are very friendly, and the whole experience has been great every time we’ve visited. The ribeye kabob is proper šašlik, just like my father makes in our home country. We love their achichuk salad, potatoes, tšeburek, boršh, Uzbek bread — and of course kompot and fresh brewed coffee. Even the deserts are delightfully fresh and authentic. If you’re looking for Eastern European cuisine, this place is definitely worth visiting.

Went to the restaurant waited 10 minutes no one even asked why are you here or where do you want to seat. Just looked at us that never seen any human. Worst restaurant ever been to. Even though restaurant was fully empty. Not recommending at all. Just wasted 30 minutes to drive there. Shame on you.

We came to Shirin to celebrate our son’s 21st birthday. It was roughly a ~50 minute drive. It was worth every mile! Every made-to-order dish was excellent. Highly recommend this family owned business.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We’ve been coming to this gem since 2014, and it never disappoints! The homemade food is absolutely delicious—everything feels fresh, flavorful, and made with love. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it perfect for both special occasions and those days when you just need a taste of really good, comforting food. The owner is always friendly and makes you feel right at home. It’s one of those places where you know you’ll always have a great experience. Highly recommend!
