Close to Piccadilly Circus, the 20-cover site will offer grab-and-go at breakfast and lunch before switching to a full-service restaurant model in the evening.
OshPaz was created by Muzaffar Sadykov who noticed a lack of the Central Asian cuisine that he had loved from a very young age.
The brand currently has a presence at Kerb’s Seven Dials Market and Mercato Metropolitano in Elephant and Castle.
Inspired by flavours and spices from the Silk Road, OshPaz’s menu will feature the brand’s plov rice bowls, slow cooked and served with lamb or chicken, alongside lagman hand-pulled noodles served pan fried or in an aromatic broth, with a choice of chicken, lamb, or veg.
Steamed dumplings will also feature on the menu, handmade to Sadykov’s mother’s recipe, made from a fine dough and filled with meat or vegetables and served with a seasoned carrot salad, sour cream dip and chilli oil.
OshPaz’s Shaslik kebabs will also make an appearance, with a choice of grilled meats, served with homemade pitta bread, fresh salad and a homemade chilli sauce.
“It’s always been a dream to bring Uzbek food to the West End, it’s the perfect place for our first standalone site,” Sadykov says. “Our journey in the UK has gone from strength to strength, and we can’t wait to showcase OshPaz’s food and unique flavours to everyone.”
