Desert Rose
136 reviews
January 8
We planned to visit the institution on the young man's birthday and were disappointed. There is an unpleasant smell of the basement at the entrance, then there is a hanger for outerwear, which no one is watching (the tables themselves are on the second floor), everything in the toilet is covered in dirty drops (toilet bowl, sink, walls) plus the smell! The receptionist or waiters (it was unclear who was meeting the guests) arranged the guests not by leading them to a table, but with the words "your table is there." They didn't have time to clean the tables, sticky spots were present and cutlery was missing! Many items from the menu were missing, and this was not indicated when the menu was distributed (the waiters could have informed about the absence of some items). Another big disadvantage is the passport PHOTO for the supervisor to confirm the birthday. We made a discount in honor of the birthday, it's nice, but the promised dessert as a gift remained promised!)

The Desert Rose is one star out of five.
We expected much more. Immediately, I would like to note the lack of a wardrobe. No one is looking after our things. Anyone can come in and take something.
The service is terrible. It's the worst one I've seen in Minsk so far. The waiter is not competent. Besides, when the second courses arrived, we didn't have any appliances, so we had to ask the waiter to bring us something to eat. Darkness.
+ half of the cocktails on the menu were missing. They left disappointed.

I booked a table in this restaurant a week in advance on Instagram. On the day of the visit, a few hours before the appointed time, I wrote I wanted to postpone the time, wrote on the same instagram and called the specified number - the message was read and left unanswered, no one answered the calls and later did not call back. Questions to the manager are already at this stage.
We arrived at the time we initially selected, and at the entrance we found out that the manager had not placed our reservation where it was required and there was no table for our company. We were immediately offered to wait 15 minutes until the second hall was prepared and we were put there, we agreed, but in the end we waited 30 minutes (there was no hall or any room to wait, so there was a choice between freezing outside or standing inside against the wall).
When we were finally seated, we had to wait 7-10 minutes for the menu, but it turned out to be nothing compared to the cooking time. The waitress immediately warned that for some dishes the waiting time can reach 45 minutes. But it turned out that 45 minutes was the minimum cooking time, because the first course was brought to our table only after that time. The longest dish was waited for an hour and a half.... The waitress apologized for the delay, referring to the full boarding, but in the room where we were put, we were alone)))
For the joint of the manager with the armor, the administrator offered us a 15% discount, which was not reported to the waiter, apparently they expected that we would forget or hesitate to remind.
As presents, the visitors are given small gifts, there were three of us and there was one bowl for all the gifts. Of course, thank you for the sign of attention, but only one person will get pleasure from it. As they say, we wanted to do the best we could, but it turned out as always)
In general, I will not recommend this institution for visiting and I will not set foot anywhere else!!

You can only book a table on a weekend evening for an hour and twenty. Considering that the first dish was served to us only after 50! Minutes, that's just ridiculous. It feels like the waiter just forgot to pass our order to the kitchen, since the people who came later had already finished their own by the time our meal started, even though the orders were about the same. The atmosphere is pleasant, everything is beautiful, but the service is still lame, either because of the recent opening, or because of the lack of training of the staff. There are no questions about taste

1) Reservation: we initially wrote on Instagram to book a table, received the answer: "now let's see if there are places" and disappeared. The next day, they already called and made a reservation by phone. Arrived at the appointed time and… There are no places) We waited half an hour for our table to be vacated. Compensation 10% discount. Which, as expected, they forgot about and had to remind themselves. As a result, the discount was still less than it was said at the beginning.
2) Maintenance. The bartender, the waiter and the cleaner are all one person who does not have time for anything. They asked for a passport a million times, a long wait for the bill and the menu
3) Food. It's just disgusting. Cocktail - iced water. The dishes are not tasty, the serving is long. Millet is a waste of money.
4) Prices. The cost is not equal to the quality.
Don't waste your time and go to other places)

I recommend visiting this place in a couple of months.To ensure that the staff has gained at least minimal experience.The service is completely unavailable.So far, this is a place to come to eat and then without wow.The tacos aren't bad, but the ones that were supposed to be hot were cold, and yet you want to eat with soy sauce, a little dry and without bright flavor combinations.Tom yam is an author's recipe, the broth is not bad, the main ingredient is masha sprouts.
A place with good potential, but it takes time.

From the very entrance: the wardrobe is inconvenient - it is a narrow passage between the toilet and the stairs, there is very little space
The smell of sour meat and fish in the establishment itself
The waiter did not approach us for 20 minutes. They wanted to order rolls, they said the wait was 1 hour, and they offered hot food, which they could wait up to 20 minutes
As a result, they carried the hot stuff for more than 40 minutes
, they said donburi top and everyone praised it. As a result, fresh cold rice with shrimp (you can eat it, but it doesn't cost 25p)))))))
Pad thai had the smell of a wet cloth and tasted about the same
The tea was cold
I liked the lemonade and the wine, it's really good, and I'll give you a star for it)
There were a lot of waiters, few tables, incomplete boarding - as a result, the wait staff took a very long time
The flowers in the wall look really nice, you can take a picture.

A beautiful interior establishment. The food is wonderful and delicious. It's a long time to wait for an order, but it's worth it. There is a strong smell of food in the establishment, and then clothes with a smell, but it's great that outerwear is on the floor below and separate from the exchange room

I've never seen a worse service. There is no administrator at the entrance who could orient where to go at all. People go up to the second floor and are dragged down to take off their jackets. They would have hung a sign that clothes should be taken off at the bottom, it was not clear to me that there was a hanger somewhere near the toilet. they couldn't answer the menu in an elementary way. The juice was carried for more than 40 minutes, and when reminded of it, it turned out that there was no juice at all. And in general, "we have a full landing, actually" I wanted to leave this place faster, we waited a long time for the bill, without waiting for it, went downstairs to the bathroom, after which the waitress ran out to our toilet shouting "you took the bag, left and did not pay the bill!!"
It's more like a circus.

Last year I tried sushi in China. I recently visited this place and was delighted with the similarity of food abroad. Not only the food is worthy of attention. A very cozy, calm atmosphere, pleasant working staff and good emotions are also here. Be sure to visit this place!

The service is simply terrible - they ignore, they are not customer-oriented at all, they do not know the menu, they forget to write down the positions and have to wait for an hour and a half, besides, they spoiled the mood with rude communication: ordinary sushi waited for 1 hour 40 minutes, drinks were all mixed up, half of the order was forgotten, they work very slowly, the food is on the counter while he You won't ask me to bring it.
Only the friendly bartender saves!
The food can really surprise, although there are questions about Philadelphia sushi (the fish were very sorry, so the sushi came out dry).

We booked a table in advance in a place that was comfortable for us, as a result, our table was occupied and we were seated at another table, arguing that the booking application was lagging
We ordered a dish, it turned out to be very spicy, although it was not indicated anywhere.
Sushi is ordinary, the price does not match the quality
The staff is not competent
In general, it's a one-time institution, and then for the sake of Instagram photos.

A good establishment with a pleasant interior, a good photo zone, as well as communication with customers.Separately, we can say about the food, the portions are large and the tuna rolls are not spared)the only drawback is the long wait, not everyone is ready to wait for a dish for an hour.

God, how much bile there is in people, they even looked at napkins.
My dear ones, well, go to Ronin, for example, where the price tag is completely different, worry there!It has long been clear that the lower the cost, the more complaints people have.
Great food, for the money it's generally top!!!Everything is delicious, maybe there are questions about cocktails, but in Asia the theme is tea!!!!!And the teas here are wonderful!!You can drink cocktails in any bar in Moscow.
The disadvantage, which is also obvious to me.:a barbell-shaped wardrobe under the stairs.But I think this issue will be resolved.

A one-time establishment. Terrible service. We hired students who don't even know the menu. There IS no BAR MENU.The waiter brought his phone and showed me what "drinks" there were from some telegram chat. We are 10 minutes late and we are told to wait another 5 minutes, but where to wait? On the street? We asked to change the table, they said that everything was booked, but as a result, the hall was empty all evening. The waiter took the dishes away a second after we ate, as if they were looking into our mouths when we were already finishing. Expectation and reality didn't match, don't come if you don't want to ruin your day/evening.

To be honest, I didn't like anything.
Apart from an interesting and unusual photo zone, there is nothing to cling to.
The service and the serving of food and drinks (especially drinks) was obviously late.
The food we ordered was bland, the soy sauce was diluted as much as possible.
It is a pity that such expectations were set, but nothing came out.
I'm unlikely to go there again.

To go to this "restaurant" just for the sake of the photo zone, no more.. They ran out of beef at the time of our visit, the drinks were 50! It took only three minutes, and I had to eat the hot stuff dry.. we forgot about sushi altogether, we didn't include them in our order, although the waitress said the order in front of us, we already refused to take sushi with us, the impression of the establishment is very bad, although I read reviews and really liked the chance to get into it, but in vain (

Sushi is better than in Japan) The rice is not boiled or hard - everything is as it should be. The teas are also very tasty. Price - quality - match perfectly. It's hard to get free parking in this area alone.

The horror service
The food is ordinary. The norms are no more. Not wow, but being honest it's not bad.
It is necessary to train the staff in the kitchen and in the hall. Monitor the level of service. So far, this is very bad. We won't be coming back here anytime soon.
It's better to go to your trusted places than to spoil your nerves here, it's not worth it

02/07/2025 initially, the smell confused me at the entrance. After that, when we went up to the hall itself, no one met us and we spent 5 minutes looking for at least someone who would tell us where our reserved table was.
I would also like to note that the service is simply terrible. There weren't many items on the menu, and the waitress was confused about both the usual dishes and the bar menu. Just a tin can. The service is very poor for such an institution.
The food is more or less.

We booked a table for a birthday, happy and cheerful we arrived at the Desert Rose. It turned out that our reservation was "forgotten", and the restaurant was fully boarded. They offered to wait 30 minutes at the entrance with the words "maybe something will be released." The mood was spoiled, the staff behaved rudely. Be careful when booking at this location.

The Japanese steak does not look like a kokobai at all, it is sad (but quite tasty.
Do not come to the opening - the door was open and the room was frozen so I had to sit in my coat, the waiting time for most dishes is an hour.
On the occasion of the opening of the restaurant, they give a bowl, I don't know how long this promotion will last, but it's nice)

On 01/10/2025, we booked a specific table for a specific time, and as a result, we were seated at another table.Despite the fact that there were very few people, the waiter waited for 20-30 minutes, I had to contact the administrator.The order arrived within 20 minutes.
We haven't had time to eat yet, we've already come to ask for cash or a card and brought the payment.There's still an hour until the end of the restaurant.There is no impression of the establishment.
The cuisine and atmosphere are top notch!
There is no service.

Poor service, the staff does not know the menu. There were not enough glasses for our cocktails — they were made in glasses. Food and drinks were taken out in our absence.
Don't expect a "wow" effect from the kitchen.
A place for one time, to go and see the "wild roses". A complete lack of customer focus, it's a pity.

There were more expectations. With a small workload, the wait was long, and the waiter also had to wait for a long time. The menu is small. The rice turned out to be a little dry, but the shrimp and sauce saved the situation. By that time, Yam had not yet been given a plate where he could put the shells and scales of the shrimp.

The waiter constantly asked for the order, did not inform about the long wait. We waited 40 minutes for drinks and more than an hour for a dish for only ONE person. The second person waited 20 minutes after me and then we left. Terrible service, half the menu is missing. Fortunately, the cocktail was removed from the cost and given a gift. But the steak was delicious, however overprice. Of

A new, beautiful and pleasant place with high-quality music and a huge wall of roses. Perhaps the urban style is not quite suitable for Asian cuisine, but you quickly forget about it. The waiters are very friendly. A good selection of specialty dishes. We took Tom yam with shrimp, Donburi with beef, several variants of Taco sushi, as well as delicious Mochi with a wide range of flavors. All dishes are prepared by chefs from Asia, which adds a plus to the cuisine and atmosphere in the establishment. At the end, gam was presented with a gift in the form of a signature saucer from Asia.

We waited for food for an hour and forty minutes. We complained 4 times. They mostly ignored me and responded very rudely. When asked when our dishes would be ready, they replied, "They're getting ready, they're getting ready, they're getting ready." We asked for a complaint book, and they said they didn't have one. A very big disappointment. One of the worst establishments in this city!!!

If you book a table in advance, then don't even expect the receptionist to come to you. Also, do not expect that the menu will be brought to you quickly and your order will be accepted.

The place doesn't even deserve a 1 star. With everything in order. The wardrobe, which no one is watching, is located in the basement right at the exit. Anyone from the street can come in, rummage through their pockets, take what they want and leave, no one will even notice. No one greets you at the entrance. We walked up to the bar ourselves. There was a girl standing there who, in an unacceptably rude tone, started asking how we had booked a table. They say they don't see our reservation. I found out that we booked by phone. To this, again, in an absolutely boorish manner, the girl tells us that we will be seated at a table, but "For the future, girls, we only have reservations via Instagram." To which I say that not everyone has a social network and it is a normal common practice in all establishments to book a table by phone. It is freely available on the Internet. And why does a female employee, who is much younger than us, allow herself to address visitors like that?
It's a pity that they didn't turn around and leave right away. Next is the moment of ordering and serving the dishes. The dishes are served unevenly. One in 20 minutes, the other in 30, and the third girl at our table was completely forgotten. How??? A man sits without food and drinks for almost an hour, no one even comes up. They haven't brought me anything yet.
Then the time of payment. The bill includes items that we did not order, and even at a price that does not match the price on the menu. When asked why there were extra items in the receipt and what about the price, the young man replied that we should have been warned that the price had changed. No one warned us. What do you mean, changed? At what point? The price is stated in the menu, and they are obliged to take payment for it, and not invent prices out of their heads and change them at any time when they want. Yes, and the extra positions were included in the bill. They asked for a complaint book. And we were informed that she was not in the institution. She's at the check-in. How's that, excuse me? Is the place running smoothly? Or she "ran off to register" just for us. And that's what to do in such a situation? We were bullied at the entrance, extra items were included in the bill at a higher price, and they refused to give us a complaint book. The female employee decided that she could teach us how to book a table here in the future. Not at all! This was the first and last trip to this institution!
