"When I want something different for dinner, I stop at Uma's, a Rockaway institution for Uzbek food: I like starting with the baked patties (bichaki) and dumplings (manti), and I always try the refreshing salads with dill, feta, and yogurt as well as the classic beet borscht and the traditional rice dish plov." - Karen I.
