Influenced by Uzbek and Central Asian flavours, Tajik dishes are hearty, aromatic, and full of soul. From slow-cooked lamb broths to golden pastries and freshly baked flatbreads, every meal reflects the warmth and generosity of Tajik culture - where food is best shared with family and friends.ABOUT THE CHEFA message from chef Akbar:“Hi, my name is Akbar. I moved to the UK from the historic city of Samarkand in Uzbekistan, with my wife and four children. I am Tajik and I love showcasing our delicious food and culture. Samarkand is a significant centre of Persian culture and a hub for trade along the Silk Road.I have had a passion for cooking from a young age, as I learnt from my parents and grandparents. Having had many years of experience catering for family, and friends and hosting culinary events I am now confident and enjoy cooking Tajik cuisine.I used to be a mathematics teacher as well as a chef, so I like both numbers and flavours. I have a Masters degree in mathematics from Samarkand State University, so I have an eye for detail, precision, flavour harmony and creativity. I also enjoy experimenting with different ingredients and techniques to create exquisite flavours, delighting your palates and affording memorable culinary experiences.Whether solving Mathematical equations or developing recipes, I am dedicated to honing my culinary skills and inspiring you with traditional recipes from my past home in Uzbekistan”. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/68088770-2737-11f1-b24a-29e1eb4e9691-rimg-w1184-h740-dcffe5ca-gmir.jpg ON THE MENU (subject to change):Shee (Lamb Broth with Pickled Sorrel and Root Vegetables) | Meat (Lamb); MilkTuy Kabob (Wedding Kebab) | Meat (Lamb); NoneMoshkichiri (Mung Bean and Rice with Yoghurt and Onions) | Vegetarian; MilkBichak-i Kadugi (Butternut Squash-filled Pastries) | Vegetarian; Eggs, Gluten (Wheat), MilkChalpak (Semolina Flatbread) | Vegan; Gluten (Wheat)Salati Bahor (Spring Salad) | Vegetarian; Milk, MustardThis menu contains meat (lamb).
