Dubai has a new Uzbek restaurant. Come hungry. Bring people.
SUPA Uzbek Culinary House officially opened at Millennium Al Barsha on 14 September, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner near Mall of the Emirates.
The menu revolves around fire, dough, rice and dishes that look slightly lonely when ordered for one.
SUPA comes from restaurateurs Nodir Mahmud and Nodir Takhirov, who previously launched the concept in Saudi Arabia. Its name refers to the traditional Uzbek supa: a raised platform where families and friends gather to eat, drink tea and stay longer than planned.
Right. Let’s discuss the plov.
What Should You Order?
Start with the plov.
SUPA’s version layers rice with tender lamb, yellow carrots and barberries. Put it in the middle of the table, announce that it is for everyone, then become strangely protective when the serving spoon moves away from you.
The charcoal grill handles speciality kebabs and other fire-cooked dishes. Around it, the menu covers several excellent things Uzbekistan does with dough.
There’s handmade shushvara, small Uzbek dumplings served in lamb broth, plus steamed manti with soft wrappers and savoury filling. Freshly baked samsa provide the flaky option, while cheburek arrives crisp and filled with lamb.
Fresh Uzbek bread and traditional tea complete the table. Desserts include Snow Dust Napoleon and saffron milk cake, assuming the plov, kebabs and multiple forms of filled dough leave any room.
Optimism is useful here.
“Order the plov for the table. Become strangely protective when the serving spoon moves away from you.”
Who Is SUPA For?
SUPA works for family lunches, group dinners and anyone bored of choosing between another burger restaurant and another imported Italian brand.
It isn’t pitched as a special-occasion dining room where dinner requires a dress code and a small operational plan. It’s open across the day, the menu suits a crowd and valet parking is available at the hotel.
Go for breakfast. Settle in for a long lunch. Make the charcoal grill the centre of dinner. The point is that SUPA feels specific without becoming difficult to use.
Dubai already has restaurants from almost everywhere. SUPA still brings something different to Al Barsha: fire, handmade dough, big pots of plov and tables built for staying a while.
