Description
This Brooklyn destination brings the rich, comforting flavors of Middle Asian culinary traditions to the table with a focus on balance and care. The kitchen excels at details, serving up oversized lamb dumplings that mirror the style of soup dumplings, charred lamb rib kebabs, and a remarkably light, clean take on lagman noodles. For something unique, look out for the chilled kuksi soup or the crispy, lightly salted fried carp—though the most elaborate chef's specials, including the filet mignon, require a 24-hour advance preorder. The dining room offers a welcome reprieve from noisy dining spots, pairing comfortable seating with a relaxed volume and a varied playlist. While the restaurant does not serve alcohol, they operate a welcoming BYOB policy with no corkage fees.
