What's for Dinner, Tues., Oct.28, 2025

11. Report from the Uzbeki restaurant dinner

It was divine! The event organizers had pre-ordered the selections, which were served family-style. I could have made a meal on the appetizers alone. There were multiple salads (tomato/onion; pickled and fermented vegetables), multiple dips (yogurt; eggplant) with pita bread, Uzbeki bread, lamb dumplings, and cheese-filled phyllo roll-ups. The main dishes were a lamb pilaf and another pilaf topped with mixed vegetables. Sides of rice. Dessert was kunefe, a tasty cheese pastry served with vanilla ice cream. I had apricot tea, and others had various teas or Uzbeki coffee. There are pictures of several of the dishes at the link in the previous post. I really enjoyed the meal; I expect to go there again in the future and will recommend it to friends. I think anyone who likes Middle Eastern food would like it.
