In collaboration with acclaimed chef Glen Ballis, the menu reimagines beloved Uzbek classics with refined touches from modern European and pan-Asian cuisines — where East meets West, and comfort meets creativity.Each plate tells a story of tradition, travel, and taste — brought to life in a space designed to awaken all the senses.
