Beloye Solntse Pustyni

Beloye Solntse Pustyni Review

Named after the legendary Soviet film Beloye Solntse Pustyni (White Sun of the Desert), this theme restaurant specializes in delicious Uzbek food, which incorporates Russian, Persian, and Chinese elements. The restaurant's sun-bleached walls instantly sweep you down to Central Asia. Inside, the illusion continues: a diorama with a ship marooned in the desert, waitresses dressed as Uzbek maidens, and intricately carved wooden doors. Make sure you try the salad bar's mouthwatering vegetables. The Dastarkhan, a set meal, overwhelms you with food—unlimited access to the salad bar, a main course such as mutton kebabs and manty (large mutton ravioli), plov (a Central Asian rice pilaf), and numerous desserts.
