A hidden, family-run gem tucked away inside Queensway Market serving deeply comforting and authentic Uzbek soul food.
Ordering Strategy
Start with a comforting soup like the mastava, share some samsas and manti dumplings, and definitely get the plov as your main.
What to order
Plov
The quintessential dish featuring large grains of soft, well-separated rice cooked in a seasoned broth with slow-cooked meat, steamed carrots, and sultanas for a perfect balance of sweetness and moreishness.
Manti
Substantial, 'swollen' dumplings with almost gelatinous steamed skins packed with fatty, earthy cubes of lamb, served with sour cream and dill as refreshing counterpoints.
Mastava
A 'must-order' traditional soup with fried pieces of beef, vegetables, rice, and garlic; it is described by critics as an 'awesome' way to whet the appetite.
Uzbek clove herbal tea
Served in a traditional China tea pot and handleless cup, this calming brew has a 'psychedelic effect' that helps transport diners from London to the medieval Silk Road.

Good to know
Located deep inside the somewhat run-down Queensway Market (look behind the phone repair shops). It is a fully Halal establishment and is BYOB—you can buy drinks at a nearby supermarket. The space is small, so booking ahead is recommended.
