"Opened by Azim Rahmatov, who immigrated from Bukhara, Uzbekistan, to Los Angeles in 2001, this is one of Los Angeles’s few restaurants specializing in Central Asian cuisine. The menu is a representation of Uzbekistan’s location between Asia and Europe, with flavors from dishes like beef stroganoff and kimchi making an appearance. Start with something from the salad section, like the crunchy fermented carrot markovcha. The steak manti is a must-order, along with the traditional bread. Round out meals with a skewered shashlik, served with a choice of french fries or rice." - Eater Staff
