Lonely Planet review for Samarkand
Within the vast Dongdaemun market is Samarkand, a laid-back, family-run, home-cooking Uzbekistan restaurant. Sitting in the armchairs with Uzbeki pop DVDs on the TV is like eating in someone’s living room. The soups ( shurpa has meat, solid vegetables and chickpeas in a tasty broth) and kebabs ( shashlik is minced meat served on a huge skewer) are great, and lepeshka bread goes well with the meal.
