4. Nargis Cafe

Opened in 2007, Nargis Cafe delivers an authentic taste and feel of Central Asian cuisine and culture. While they serve a variety of items, they are best known for their manti, dumplings often served with sour cream or soy sauce and vinegar. Other offerings include a Bojon salad, plov, samsa, a large Uzbek dumpling cooked in tandoor ovens that are almost always filled meat and diced onions, and shurpa.
