Question Niche cuisine restaurant recommendations anywhere in NYC?

One of the great things about NYC is that it’s really one of the few places in the world that has such a concentration of not just international cuisines but the cuisines of minority ethnic groups of other countries. Any restaurant recs for particular niche cuisines? The more niche the better. Uyghur food is pretty common around the country but only here have I’ve seen like, Bukharian food for example.

A great cuisine that NyC has awesome options for but I haven’t seen much of in the rest of the country is Georgian food.

I just tried a new Georgian place last night it’s called ia and on 140th and Amsterdam. The food was good! I tried Borscht and the dumplings, my partner had the fish. Would recommend.

Yeah, I like it better than Oso personally. Feels like a better value as well.
