Welcome to Kavsar!
Since 2013, Kavsar has proudly served the Pittsburgh community as the city’s first Uzbek restaurant, offering a unique culinary experience that blends the rich traditions of Central Asia with a touch of European influence. Our menu includes a variety of Uzbek classics—like plov, lagman, and samosas—alongside popular European-inspired dishes, providing a balanced taste that appeals to diverse palates.
What sets Central Asian cuisine apart is its perfect harmony of flavors: it’s neither overly spicy nor heavy with aromas, allowing each ingredient to shine without overwhelming the senses. Unlike some other Asian cuisines, Central Asian dishes focus on natural, savory flavors without intense heat or strong seasonings. Our dishes are crafted with care, emphasizing freshness and depth, making them both flavorful and approachable.
For our vegetarian guests, Kavsar offers one of the richest selections in town, with an extensive variety of soups, appetizers, and main courses. We primarily offer convenient takeout, but by popular request, we now open our doors for dine-in service on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays after 5 PM. Whether dining with us or enjoying our food at home, Kavsar brings you the authentic taste of Central Asia in every bite.
Our restaurant is also an ideal setting for special events and banquets, where you and your guests can enjoy exclusive access to our welcoming space. We’re happy to customize the menu to include special dishes crafted specifically for your event, making it a truly memorable experience.
Over the past decade, Kavsar has become a beloved dining destination in Pittsburgh, winning the hearts of the local community. With more than 95% of our guests being local residents, our unique blend of Central Asian and European flavors has found a special place among Pittsburghers and beyond. We are honored to share the unique culinary traditions of Central Asia with Pittsburgh, celebrating a culture that is as diverse and welcoming as America itself.
