Taam Tov

This is a great place in the Diamond District run by Bukharan Jews from what we now call Uzbekistan that serve great food at very reasonable prices. They speak Russian to boot.

Bukharan Jews also Bukharian Jews or Bukhari Jews, are Jews from Central Asia who speak Bukhori, a dialect of the Persian language. Their name comes from the former Central Asian Emirate of Bukhara, which once had a sizeable Jewish community. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the vast majority have emigrated to Israel or the United States, while others have emigrated to Europe or Australia.
