Yalla

Here, you can find some fine typical Uzbek dishes like samsa, plov, simmered rice pilaf, and manti dumplings with meat and vegetables. The venue is big enough to host many people and is located right in front of the central nature park in Rostov-On-Don. With a cozy atmosphere inside, the restaurant is usually full of locals (and children) starting from Thursday afternoon. Be prepared to book in advance because of its popularity and affordable prices, since it is probably the one and only restaurant in town with such a high level of cuisine with such low prices. Don’t forget to try the Uzbek chak-chak, a cake of fried noodles bound with honey that tastes like a subdued funnel cake.
