Zira Uzbek Kitchen

A Taste of Uzbekistan in the Heart of Los Angeles

Embark on a delightful exploration of Uzbek cuisine and culture at Zira Uzbek Kitchen, founded by Azim Rahmatov. Inspired by a vision to bring the authentic flavors of Uzbekistan to Los Angeles, Azim established Zira Uzbek Kitchen, a celebration of the blend of Central Asian flavors, traditions and hospitality.

Azim Rahmatov

Born and raised in Bukhara, Uzbekistan, a city with a history spanning over 2,500 years, Azim’s journey led him to the United States in 2001. While pursuing his university studies, he discovered the opportunity to share the tastes of his homeland while working at Restaurant Uzbekistan on Sunset and La Brea in Hollywood. After graduation, he traversed the country and gained valuable experience in the hospitality industry, but his dream was to have his own restaurant, where the community can have enjoyable time over a cup of tea and comforting Uzbek food.

Upon returning to Los Angeles in 2021,  Azim and his family decided to finally make the dream a reality! Thus, Zira Uzbek Kitchen was born.
