"Though their perpetually shut blinds don’t scream “Welcome to Jibek Jolu,” there are plenty of reasons why you’ll want to stay awhile at this Lincoln Square restaurant. From juicy pieces of kuurdak to saucy hand-pulled noodles in their boso lagman, all the Kyrgyz dishes are hearty and delicious. And those always-closed blinds shut out the outside world, allowing you to pretend you’re inside a friend’s cozy yurt thousands of miles from New York Times push notifications (a small tan dining room and a fake smoke hole sell the illusion)." - veda kilaru, john ringor, adrian kane
