Decent Naryn — nothing more, nothing less

Naryn at this place was fine. The deeply savoury from lamb fat flavour was there but not distinguished. yellow carrots was present in the right quantities but without the care that makes the difference. You can taste when something is being made to a formula.

Uzbek cuisine sits at the crossroads of the ancient Silk Road trade routes. The a Samarkand chaikhana teahouse setting was generic rather than immersive. non flatbread alongside was offered but not explained. If you're in the area and want Naryn it'll do. If you're going out of your way, look elsewhere.
