Laghman Express

Founded by Chef-Author Gulnoza Jurayeva, the kitchen builds on its noodle foundation with a broader lineup of regional plates. Standouts include meaty, spiced beef samsa puff buns with a flaky crust, and crispy eggplants in sweet tomato sauce. For the rich, fatty kuurdak, regulars advise chasing it with hot tea rather than cold soda. The staff earns praise for guiding first-time visitors through the menu, making the clean, accommodating dining room an easy entry point for group gatherings.
