Plove House
Plove House is a restaurant of Oriental cuisine, but not the one Ukrainians aren't typically used to. Firstly, it's a place where chefs cook authentic Azerbaijan cuisine and introduce its flavors to the public. Then, most importantly, almost each product for the dishes is imported from Baku, to save the original taste. The main speciality of the place is pilaf, or plove, hence the name. This dish of rice cooked in seasoned broth with various fillings is taken to a new level here. Visitors can order 10 types of pilaf – 4 of them are always on the menu, and 6 should be pre-ordered. Interior decor is brought from Azerbaijan, too.
