DASTARKHAN restaurant was founded by Ismoil Ochilov and his team, Ismoil was born and raised in the heart of historical city Bukhara, Uzbekistan. Despite the hardships in his life, he successfully managed to graduate from Sunderland University, UK, majoring in Business and Financial Management. Thirst for even more knowledge brought him to Golden Gate University in San Francisco, California for his master’s degree. His resume includes business and management courses from Harvard University as well.
During his studies, Ismoil came up with the idea of starting a small business together with his friends for the sake of financial stability. One of the first drafts for a business was a restaurant that brings the atmosphere of Uzbek culture and Uzbek spirit into the diverse streets of San Francisco. This little piece of Uzbekistan greatly showcases the culture, traditions, hospitability, and flavors of Central Asian Countries for visitors in the United States. As they used to serve as a bridge of the historical “GREAT SILK ROAD” from east to west.
Central Asian Cuisine contains meals from the “Big 5 Stans” namely Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, and Tajikistan. Afghanistan is not part of Central Asia, but most often it is counted with “Big 5 Stans” as it has a very close culture, similar traditions, and cuisine. In these six countries there live more than 200 ethnic groups who share almost common traditions and cultural heritage. Central Asian cuisine, which was transformed over the ages, is also influenced by the western parts of China, Pakistan, Turkey, and Former Soviet Union Countries. In the last couple of decades, the cuisine has gained popularity throughout The United States because of its pleasant flavor and coming in substantial serving sizes. The unique combinations of meat, vegetables, fruits, and spices can be experienced in almost every dish, from salads to the main courses.
“Dastarkhan” team was very proud to bring a real atmosphere of these cultures to visitors, give them an opportunity of feeling like a home, and introduce them to the rest of the world.
