Rus Uz - Arlington

AMAZING experience. Everyone who works here knows the culture of the food they're serving and seems to care about it. The atmosphere is very plesant with the cultural and custom art on the walls. They also have some unique specialties, including their small plates and infused vodkas. Will definitely be going back any time I'm in the area!

I only visited the market but was very impressed with both the food stuffs and the amazing wine selection. Wines from Georgia, Romania, Armenia, Moldova and others. Really cool, and a very friendly and accommodating staff.

A small deli and ethnic food shop. Everything is more expensive than it should be. But some of the buys are really worth it. They have an amazing tea selection: Curtis, Tsar Nicholas II, and Romanov. I buy most of my tea there now: great flavors and variety. There's some interesting beers, cheeses, and wines. If you're interested in pickled vegetables there's a lot of them to choose from. Decent selection of European candy and chocolate. Some of the things you buy are going to be way overpriced and not worth it. Some might become your favorite items you can't live without.

I'm sharing the empty plate of the cake we (me and my wife) cleaned just a moment ago - light cake, not too sweet, not heavy, right on spot with fragrant tea served in a traditional Uzbek teapot. That's after Kiev chicken with veggies and two steaming, delicious bowl of meaball soup.
Really a great meal with a freezing windchill outside 10 below zero (C). We felt warm, cozy and filled our bellies with warm European classic flavors. We came here purely by accident, and will certainly return - but on purpose.

Highly recommend
