Uzbekistan Restaurant

One of the nicest restaurants in Moscow and, unlike the capital's other upmarket restaurants, you aren't likely to find anything like this in your home country.
Its uniqueness, beautiful and luscious interior, relatively cheap prices and impeccable service mean that this restaurant should be on the list of any visitor to the capital.

Obviously the restaurant specializes in Uzbek cuisine, which comes courtesy of a chef from Tashkent. The lagman, pilaf and manty are especially recommended. But the menu also has Chinese, Arab and Azerbaijani cooking with a different chef looking after each cuisine. The Chinese food is some of the best in Moscow and you can request it spicy if you like it that way. An average main course here costs 700 rubles ($25) with an average bill around 1200 rubles ($43). But the portions are massive and you can order a half portion of any meal for half the price. Live music and belly dancers every night add to the atmosphere, as does the Thursday ritual of parading a slaughtered lamb through the restaurant - an Uzbek tradition. Highly recommended.
