Restaurant Name: All over the country
I think it’s fair to say that you don’t travel to Uzbekistan for the cuisine, which is perhaps rather limited compared with that of some other countries. There’s a strong emphasis on meat, especially mutton, and dishes can be a bit greasy and salty for western tastes, though we certainly had some enjoyable meals.
Some traditional dishes are:
plov: the national dish, a mix of rice, vegetables and mutton – we had a tasty example for lunch at a house in Nurata
manty: a soft pasta-style dumpling filled with mutton and onions, often likened to ravioli but I found it more like Chinese dim sum – this was one of my favourite of the Uzbek dishes, when done well as at the Caravan Arts Café in Tashkent
shashlik: kebabs, often made from the ubiquitous mutton but also available in chicken, vegetable and even to our surprise pork – we found the quality rather variable
samsa: a small pasty filled with meat or vegetables – I had a great spinach one at the Caravan Arts Café
You will also find a regular selection of salads, the most common being tomato & cucumber, and eggplant; stuffed vegetables (usually peppers and/or cabbage); noodles (either fried or in a soup) and sometimes a few other dishes.

Excellent overview on Uzbekistan with your lovely photographs! Shah-i-Zinda in Samarkand certainly looks amazing. Staying in the yurt sounds interesting to us. Thanks for sharing. ~ho & pang | Pieter11 Wed Mar 11, 2009 12:59 UTC
A very, very inspriring page on Uzbekistan. The country has been high on my list for a long time already, and it has risen even further now. I'll be back to read more! Back to work now... :S | kyoub Fri May 2, 2008 21:54 UTC
Thank you for the tour of Uzbekistan. Very interesting. I agree about the food. A night in the dessert? I like the looks of the accommodations. | JLBG Sat Apr 12, 2008 20:46 UTC
Stunning photos of Khiva, Bukhara, Samarkand and all this dream places! You did a wonderful travel! We are not group tour travelers neither but Uzbekistan seems one of these locations where it is the best choice nevertheless! |
