Vostok

Inside this long, windowless dining room you’ll find legions of Jewish Uzbek families sharing ample plates of lamb-strewn pilaf ($6.50), warm, black-sesame-seed-flecked hubs of tandoori-style bread ($2) and smoky kebabs, like the savory lulia (beef, $2), lanced on swordlike spits. Glasses of vodka are just $4 a pop, but be like the locals and BYO.
