About Rus Uz
Rus Uz is an Uzbek family-owned restaurant bringing the flavors, traditions, and hospitality of Uzbekistan and Russia to the Washington, D.C. area. Through authentic recipes, warm hospitality, and an elevated dining experience, we invite our guests to discover the distinctive flavors and culture of Central Asia and Eastern Europe.
Today, Rus Uz welcomes guests at two locations: Washington, D.C. and Arlington, Virginia.
Our restaurant at 2600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Washington, D.C. is proud to be the first Uzbek restaurant in Washington, D.C. Located in the Foggy Bottom and West End neighborhood, Rus Uz brings authentic Uzbek and Russian cuisine to the nation’s capital in an upscale fine-dining setting designed for memorable dinners, celebrations, business dining, and private events.
Rus Uz in Arlington, Virginia, located near the Ballston Metro station, continues the tradition that began with our original restaurant and has introduced guests throughout Northern Virginia and the greater Washington area to Uzbek and Russian cuisine.
Family Owned & Prepared With Passion
Rus Uz was founded by an Uzbek family with a passion for sharing the food, culture, and hospitality we grew up with. The name Rus Uz reflects the two culinary traditions at the heart of our restaurant — Russian and Uzbek.
Our menu features traditional Uzbek favorites such as plov, manti, samsa, shashlik, and lagman, alongside classic Russian dishes and other specialties inspired by the diverse cuisines of the region.
Each dish is prepared with respect for tradition while being presented in a setting that is warm, refined, and welcoming. Whether you are already familiar with Uzbek cuisine or experiencing it for the first time, our goal is to make every visit to Rus Uz memorable.
An Elevated Uzbek & Russian Dining Experience
At Rus Uz, dining is about more than the meal.
It is an opportunity to experience the food, culture, and hospitality of Uzbekistan and Russia.
Our Washington, D.C. restaurant offers an upscale Uzbek and Russian fine-dining experience in the heart of the nation’s capital, while our Arlington restaurant continues to welcome longtime guests and new visitors from across the Washington metropolitan area.
Join us for lunch or dinner, celebrate a special occasion, host a private event, or bring the flavors of Rus Uz to your next gathering through our catering services.
We look forward to welcoming you to Rus Uz in Washington, D.C. or Arlington, Virginia.
