Białystok Welcomes Voha, a New Uzbek Café with Authentic Flavors
A new Uzbek café, Voha, has opened in Białystok, bringing Central Asian news to the city. It is one of the first spots in the area to serve traditional Uzbek dishes, aiming to introduce Polish diners to the rich tastes of Eastern cuisine. The café's menu includes well-known Uzbek specialities like manti, plov, shashlik, and samsa. Each dish is prepared by chefs with experience in Eastern cooking, using spices sourced from trusted suppliers. For regulars, the kitchen even makes custom batches based on personal preferences. Inside, the atmosphere reflects Uzbek traditions. Tables are covered with dastarkhan—woven cloths decorated with geometric patterns. While guests can eat with their hands, cutlery is always available. Fresh bread, baked daily on-site, is served with every meal. Voha attracts a varied crowd, including Uzbeks, Poles, Belarusians, and Ukrainians. The owners hope to create a space where different cultures can enjoy familiar news or try something new. The café's arrival adds a fresh dining option to Białystok. With its focus on authentic recipes and a welcoming setting, it offers locals a taste of Uzbekistan. For now, the team plans to keep refining their dishes while building a loyal customer base.
