Isak and
Simon are two brothers and
owners of Cheburechnaya who have been waiters in
restaurants, such as Cheburechnaya, since they were
fourteen years old in their homeland Dushanbe,
Tajikistan. They learned the recopies from their
grandmother who was a chef for most of her life. When
the two brothers came to New York they continued their
work as waiters at random restaurants.
After some time Isak made a few chebureks, deep fried dough stuffed with either meat,
mushrooms, potatoes, or cabbage, for a friend who never
tasted such delicacy. Than he made more chebureks for
his friends and family who never tasted such tasty food.
As he made more and more chebureks for his friends and
family the word got around about the tasty crunchy appetizer. As the word
spread, Isak decided to open a place where many people
can share the taste.
Since May
of 2002 Cheburechnaya has captured the hearts and tastes
of many people around the Tri State area, even people
from other countries who are visiting New York for the
first time. The beginning of Cheburechnaya was a narrow
hallway of no more than ten tables which could fit no
more than forty people. Thanks to the support of the
customers and friends Cheburechnaya has grown three
times than what it stated with. |
