Shashlik exceeded every expectation

I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Shashlik made with real commitment to Devzira rice and technique. The warming and hearty result was more complex and satisfying than anything I'd had before.

Uzbek cuisine sits at the crossroads of the ancient Silk Road trade routes. The a bazaar food stall was exactly right for this kind of eating. Sarbast lager 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.
