Is this your business?Claim it freeA family-run Bukharian restaurant on HaBanaim Street in Ashdod, serving plov, soups, dumplings and skewers from the grill.
Raihona was opened by the brothers Shimon and Alex Paltielov, who started out with a Bukharian bakery, and its site says the whole family now runs the restaurant. The kitchen cooks from family recipes: bread baked on the walls of a traditional Bukharian tandoor, shurpa and lagman soups, chebureki, samsa, plov, bakhsh, dumplings, cooked vegetables and fresh salads, with meat and fish from the grill. Its site says the name means paradise. The restaurant also hosts events of every kind, at times with a guest singer, and keeps kosher under the Ashdod rabbinate by its own account.
