Cafe Dushanbe Lets You Sample the Food of Tajikistan

— January 28, 2016 — Lifestyle
Most fans of cuisine from the Asian continent are probably well-versed in Chinese, Japanese, Thai or Indian food, but not a lot of people out there have sampled the food of Tajikistan, served up in inimitable style by South Brooklyn restaurant Cafe Dushanbe.

Cafe Dushanbe is one of a mere handful of restaurants outside Central Asia that gives you the opportunity to enjoy the delicious food of Tajikistan, the landlocked country that borders Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and China.

One of the highlights of Cafe Dushanbe's menu is the qurutob, which comprises a mouthwatering mound of braised lamb cooked with peppers and fragrant herbs placed on juicy fatir flatbread. You can also sample rustic dishes such as boiled tongue with horseradish, and the ubiquitous kebab.

This restaurant is truly an iconic establishment because of the manner in which it presents the cuisine of one of the world's more obscure countries.



Trend Themes
1. Obscure Regional Cuisine - Cafe Dushanbe's success in introducing the cuisine of Tajikistan shows a growing trend of demand for lesser-known regional foods.
2. Culinary Diversity - Cafe Dushanbe's unique menu highlights a trend towards greater culinary diversity in the food and restaurant industry.
3. Authenticity and Cultural Immersion - Restaurant-goers seek out authentic and immersive food experiences such as Cafe Dushanbe's, pointing to a trend of cultural exploration through cuisine.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - Opportunities exist for restaurants and food establishments to offer lesser-known regional cuisine to attract and retain customers seeking new and unique culinary experiences.
2. Tourism and Hospitality - Cultural exploration through cuisine presents an opportunity for tourism and hospitality industries to offer authentic and immersive experiences to travelers seeking local and unique experiences.
3. Import and Export - Greater demand for lesser-known regional foods such as those offered by Cafe Dushanbe may present opportunities for import and export businesses in the food industry.
