Restaurant White Sun of the Desert

One of the first themed restaurants in Moscow. The restaurant is a quote. The restaurant is a legend. The restaurant "White Sun of the Desert" opened in 1997 and immediately became insanely popular. Why? Yes, just the creators of this restaurant first came up with the idea to make life a continuation of the film, and only a popularly loved and widely quoted film was suitable for this. The White Sun of the Desert, of course. The film is a quote, the film is an aphorism, where each phrase has long been not replicas of characters, but phraseological turns used by residents of our country in cases far from that plot. When the movie is loved by the audience, the audience wants the film to not end. In the restaurant, unlike the movie, there are no final credits. Even if you pay, you can start eating again. Continuation can always come up with yourself, imagining yourself in the place of the hero or next to the heroes. In heroic - of course - entourage. The White Sun is almost a literal decoration. At the entrance, a man with a gun. Inside are free women of the East, dressed in national clothes. "Gulchatai, open your face!" In the bar there are whitewashed walls with falling off pieces of plaster, carpets on the walls, ancient weapons and musical instruments. And here is Vereshchagin's house with calico curtains and sea views. You can have a banquet on the boat. Old men have dynamite boxes. Here, please, Abdullah, and here is Comrade Sukhov. All in place. Just don't need to shoot in vain. If you remember, Comrade Sukhov preferred to resolve conflicts through negotiations. At a meal, for example. And Vereshchagin loved to eat. As you know, bread is also very important. The table here is very rich. Uzbek, Chinese, Arabic cuisine. The main assets of this free republic must be listed. Kazy is a national cooked-smoked horse meat sausage, delicious kebabs from a young lamb, lamb liver, sturgeon and, of course, the Uzbek lagman, for which experts of Central Asian cuisine go here specifically. And - most importantly - pilaf, which at the request of the guest can be cooked with dried apricots, even with raisins. Sometimes, here ordered pilaf for the newlyweds, and the chefs then prepare a special pilaf – wedding. And also rahat-lukum, dried apricot roll, baklava, teas green, black, fruity. In the East, tea is always drunk, and we seem to have learned that there is no better remedy for thirst in any weather. White cherry jam. Even the words are delicious! The chef of the restaurant - Anvar Mahmudov, hereditary culinary - a broad soul man. He also patronizes the kitchen of the restaurant "Uzbekistan", which is located in the same building. However, there is a completely different environment. That's another story.
