About Samarkand
Intimate Uzbek restaurant serving authentic plov, lagman noodles, and samsa in a cozy setting. The bread is baked fresh in a traditional tandoor oven, and the lamb dishes are particularly outstanding. A hidden gem for Central Asian cuisine in South Kensington.
Insider Tips
Order the plov on Thursdays when they make the traditional version with lamb shanks - it's not always on the regular menu but they'll prepare it if you ask.
