Mantu or ashak: which dumplings should you try first?
Both come with garlic yoghurt and a tomato sauce — one is filled with spiced beef, the other with leek and herbs. A quick guide to choosing.
Golniva Kitchen ·
Our two dumpling dishes look like close relatives, and they are — but they eat quite differently.
Choose mantu if…
- You want something hearty and meaty
- You like a rich sauce with a little warmth
- You're feeding someone who's not sure about new food — it's the most familiar-tasting of the two
Choose ashak if…
- You'd like a vegetarian dish
- You love fresh, green flavours — leek, spring onion and coriander
- You prefer something lighter
Can't decide?
Order one of each and share. Two plates of dumplings with a pot of green chutney on the side makes a proper feast for two.
