Dine family style with Les Dames in the D.C. area’s only Uzbekistan restaurant. Hear our speaker, Abraham Rakhmatullaev, explain the dishes from his Central Asia country. Born in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, he moved to America 15 years ago. Abraham is the manager of Rus-Uz Restaurant, and his father, Bakhtiyor Rakhmatullaev, is the chef and owner.

Uzbekistan, slightly larger than California, was once on the Silk Road—part of the ancient Persian Empire. In 1990, Uzbekistan declared its independence from the USSR. Its cuisine, often cooked over open flames or in tandoors, is flavored with black cumin, peppers, barberries, coriander, and sesame seeds. The more common herbs are cilantro, dill, parsley, celeriac, and basil.

In the February 2016 issue of Washingtonian magazine, Rus-Uz is named one of the top 100 restaurants (out of the 2000 in our Washington area). Among the restaurant's main dishes, Washingtonian says, "focus on...Plov, a long-cooked dish studded with tender lamb, raisins, and carrots." This is one of the dishes you will taste on February 15. 

Rus-Uz also operates a food market adjacent to the restaurant that offers imported specialty goods from Russia and Uzbekistan. Browse its unique products before or after dinner (11 AM to 10 PM).

Whenever I think about the word "feast" I always imagine a large number of food. A feast is an event where people, whether relatives or friend gather and enjoy some large portions of food. I have been part of a lot of feast lately, I think that having feasts is really great. I get to bond with my love ones and have a great time. However, we should also be responsible after a feast, we should clean up after ourselves.
