Lavash "HALAL" — Restaurant in Citrus Heights

I recently popped into this cozy nook of Uzbek cuisine, and it was an absolute explosion of flavors! Everything is strictly halal—from the meat to the spices—so you can relax and enjoy without any doubts. I ordered the classic plov with lamb: the rice is fluffy, the carrots are sweet, the meat is tender, as if just off the grill. We also got manti with pumpkin—they’re so juicy they melt in your mouth, and samsa with greens, crispy on the outside, and inside—pure aroma of spices. Prices are reasonable, portions generous, and the atmosphere is like being at grandma’s house in Tashkent: rugs on the walls, soft light, and friendly staff who even explained how to eat lagman properly.

The interior of the place is very unusual, or maybe even strange—I’m not quite sure how to describe it. The shawarma was large, which was a nice surprise. I’m not sure what the issue was—maybe too much sauce, too much filling, or not enough lavash—but the shawarma kept falling apart. The sauce tasted odd, with way too much mustard. We had the chicken shawarma, and the chicken was cut into large cubes—we’ve never seen it like that before, and it wasn’t great. Overall, the taste wasn’t bad, but it’s still far from truly great shawarma, which is strange considering they have all the right ingredients. The recipe just needs some work. I hope that happens someday so I...
