Lazzat Grill

You’re in Los Angeles, anything can happen, like eating fluffy, delicious Uzbek pilaf in a Ralph’s parking lot. That’s what you can expect at this Uzbek food vendor in Hollywood that operates out of a converted blue school bus. The truck pulls up daily and serves warm heaps of pilaf that smell like a cumin-scented candle. It’s one of the largest meals you’ll find served curbside: a shareable mountain of soft rice and tender lamb with cooked-down onions and carrots. The menu is also relatively big for this 25-foot-long operation, featuring steamed manti, chicken tenders (?), and various Central Asian flatbreads that will catch your eye in the truck’s window, but don’t taste as good as they look.
