We went to a small, humble restaurant in Dushanbe called Lola, Number 5. Conveniently enough, it was located next to another restaurant named Lola, Number 10. We ordered the Tajik national dish called Kurutob. It is thin, light Tajik bread layered in a wooden bowl with tomatoes, green onions, dill, parsley and a mild yogurt mixture. Each bowl of Kurutob also contains exactly one very spicy pepper that diners can mix into the Kurutob if they choose. The bread, when combined with the yogurt takes on a consistency almost that of pasta. Tajiks dip pieces of bread into the Kurutob to eat it, but we decided on this day to use the spoons and forks they gave us. I found it quite delicious.
