My quest for ethnic restaurants in London led me to have Uzbeki food at Samarkand this week.
It was also a lovely reunion with a friend who has recently moved back to the homeland across the North Sea, so a double whammy.
Samarkand is a fairly new kid on the block and opened earlier this summer and I had been dying to try it out. The restaurant is located in a basement just off Charlotte Street. It was a bit hard to find as there was only a blackboard outside stating that the buff bouncer was guarding the door to a restaurant and not some swanky nightclub.
