Description

Cafe Lily is one of the rare places in the country to experience sovetsko-koreyskiy cuisine, a distinct culinary intersection of Uzbek, Russian, and Korean traditions. In a modest, traditionally furnished room or out on the covered back terrace, the kitchen serves comforting plates made entirely in-house. Alongside the steamed dumplings and rice dishes, the menu features specialty items like pigodi, blood sausage, and marinated fern salad. The result is a cozy, neighborhood dining experience defined by home-like service and flavors that are hard to find elsewhere.
