Begim - Calgary, Alberta

Everything at Begin tastes excellent. The samsas are very flakey on the outside and flavourful on the inside. Probably the best lamb skewers I had in Calgary, with very generous portions. The rice and dumplings are also very good, it looks oily but not heavy.

This a great little spot owners are super friendly and you can tell they love what they do. I tried a bunch of different dishes like the liver kabob which was excellent cooked perfectly and had pickled onions with it. The pumpkin somsa were tasty as well and my wife's ... favorite thing here. The tok-osh was my favorite item it's ground pork marinated in spices and wrapped in grape leaves were delicious.

Amazing halal option in the city. Restaurant owners are friendly and place is really clean, with a homely touch. Highly, highly recommended. Really sincere Uzbek food. They make everything from scratch. We had the manti and the Uzbek pilav to go. Tasted really good even after 5hrs on the road. We heard ... they will be expanding the menu soon, really looking forward to the new additions. All the best! Read more

When we decided to go to this restaurant, I had no idea what to expect. However, I was pleasantly surprised with the great variety of food, interesting discussions with the owner and relatively good prices. The place is a smaller venue off 17th. We tried many of ... the dishes and I would recommend letting them prepare it in the manner they would eat it. We found we enjoyed all the dishes. The only dish that seemed mediocre was thus one dish where there was like 36 dumplings but it was much better after the owner recommended some of the vinegar. Overall I’m looking forward to the next opportunity to go again! Read more

Food is good. Service was prompt and efficient. It's interesting place and I've never eaten Uzbek food. However, I probably wouldn't go back. Not because the Food is bad, I just didn't think it was anything special. And it's pretty expensive for what it is. All it was $46 for ... tax and tip for two people with no drinks. We got two dishes and one samosa. Read more
