Each dish is prepared with love and according to traditional recipes
Plov — traditional Uzbek lamb pilaf
Plov is a centuries-old culinary tradition where patience, heat, and deep flavor come together. We cook our plov in a cast-iron cauldron: onions slowly caramelize, carrots release their natural sweetness, lamb becomes tender and juicy, and the rice absorbs the richness of spices and ghee.
We use ghee or premium vegetable oil to keep the flavor clean and light while preserving authentic technique. The slow cooking process (approximately 3.5–4 hours) ensures fluffy, aromatic, richly textured rice.
Serving
Plov is traditionally served with fresh vegetable salads such as achik-chuchuk (also known as shakarob), made from thinly sliced tomatoes and onions. Pickled vegetables, including pickled onions, and fresh flatbreads pair perfectly with the dish. The meal customarily ends with hot tea.

Khinkali — traditional Georgian dish filled with juicy meat and hot broth inside
Khinkali are a traditional Georgian dish: large, pleated parcels filled with juicy meat and hot broth inside. We prepare our khinkali with a mixture of minced beef and lamb, onion, spices, and freshly ground black pepper to preserve their characteristic flavor and aroma.
The dough is rolled and shaped by hand into the classic "pouch" with a twisted top, while the center remains filled with flavorful meat juice. Khinkali are a hearty, comforting main course.
Serving
Khinkali are traditionally eaten by hand: you hold the top, take a small bite, drink the broth, and then finish the rest. They are served hot, with freshly ground black pepper, optionally accompanied by fresh herbs and bread. Light salads and yogurt-based sauces pair well with the dish. The meal is often finished with hot tea.

Shurpa — traditional Uzbek lamb soup
Shurpa is an ancient staple of Central Asian cuisine — a generous, aromatic soup slowly simmered over low heat. We prepare our shurpa with tender lamb and plenty of vegetables: carrots, potatoes, sweet peppers, onions, and fragrant spices. Long simmering gives the broth clarity, depth, and a rich signature aroma.
The lamb becomes soft and falls off the bone, while the vegetables retain their shape and natural sweetness. Shurpa is a hearty, warming soup that pairs well with both light starters and rich main courses.
Serving
Traditionally served with fresh herbs, thinly sliced onions, and warm flatbread. Pickled vegetables and fresh salads also complement the soup beautifully. The meal is customarily finished with hot tea.
