Farruh, Khiva
Author: Anothertravelguide.com
Farruh is a classic chaikhana or, to use the local colloquialism, kafushka („caff") - a cross between a café and a restaurant; the name hails back to the tea houses that used to line the Silk Road. Farruh is, without the shadow of a doubt, one of the most charming chaikhanas in Khiva, in spite of the fact that location - opposite the Djuma Mosque and minaret - makes it also the most expensive one. There is something of a crossroad atmosphere in Farruh: you feel literally as if you had stopped by for a spot of tea before the road. The owner greets you personally and sets the table. You can choose between the tiny courtyard (with decoratively covered plastic tables and chairs) and the so-called yurtas. It is a nice place for a light lunch; like elsewhere in Khiva, the menu includes the whole range of the national cuisine: plov (pilaf), prepared slightly differently in each region (the Khiva version is considered the driest of them all); shurpa - lamb soup, usually with carrots, onions and, sometimes, potatoes and peas; manti dumplings, made from thin bread dough with meat or vegetable filling.
