I wished to have something different for Friday lunch so I opted for a cuisine totally unknown by me . The Uzbek cooking is something to be explored . I ordered through the Talabat . It arrived super fast .
One plov and two salads . I was not sorry for the order since it was delicious but their traditional biryani , the Uzbek plov was not as special as I expected .I mean , here in Qatar we are really spoiled by the large variety of Arabian and Indian rice meat dishes . The base of the Uzbek dish was rice with carrot and chickpeas .The raisins existed only in their descriptions . I missed it very much . All I know about the Central Asian cooking that they tend to mix their rice with some dried fruits . So when they chose not to add raisins they left out the very thing that would make it unique here .
On the rice base their were mini sized ,stuffed vine leaves ,boiled eggs , green chili . The meat cubes were well made . They were super soft .
The tomato salad was exactly what I expected : tomato and onion with some hot red pepper slices . Simple and great flavours .
The Olivier salad was as I hoped - a simple Russian salad that is so difficult to find here . Very well made .
Prices are moderate - I think all I payed was 45 QR .
I might try next time their soup - the Pelmeni soup .Their samosa and their flat bread also sounds great . The only dessert they offered on their Talabat menu was Napoleon cake . I was not in the mood now for a cake of such strange name ! :)
Delivery : through Talabat riders - excellent service
