Samsa exceeded every expectation
I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Samsa made with real commitment to yellow carrots and technique. The deeply savoury from lamb fat result was more complex and satisfying than anything I'd had before.
plov rice pilaf is considered the cornerstone of Uzbek hospitality and is cooked by men for important occasions. The a Tashkent restaurant was exactly right for this kind of eating. ayran was offered as the natural choice and it elevated everything. When a dish you thought you knew surprises you completely, that's worth celebrating. Five stars without hesitation.
