This tiny, clean restaurant only serves one thing: a Central Asian rice dish called zhuafan, or plov. The rice is cooked in a savory broth and mixed with bits of carrot, topped with lightly cooked greens and your choice of beef or mutton. It's certainly not fancy, but it is authentic and tasty.
Nice Rice
This tiny, clean restaurant only serves one thing: zhuafan. It’s a Xinjiang rice dish known throughout Central Asia and Russia as plov. A mutton or beef set (¥22/¥26) gets you a generous portion of rice, cooked in a savory broth and mixed with bits of carrot, topped with lightly cooked greens and meat. The meat is pretty bony and dry, but authentic and tasty. You also get a bottomless cup of tea, a serving of pickled vegetables and a cup of sweet, plain yogurt. The no-frills décor is offset by a large traditional Xinjiang-style mural on one wall, and a painted scene of a Greek village at sunset on the other. Get here early if you want zhuafan for dinner: 8000 Miles is usually out of food and closed by 8pm.
