Uzbek cuisine is a rich mixture of flavors and traditions, and is one of the most diverse and delicious in Central Asia. Her dishes reflect the country's rich cultural heritage and the influence of the peoples who passed through Uzbekistan along the Great Silk Road.

One of the most famous and popular dishes is “pilaf” - aromatic rice with meat (most often lamb), seasoned with spices and carrots. Other classic Uzbek dishes include manty (dumplings), shashlik (meat grilled on skewers), lagman (broth with noodles and meat), and samsa (pies filled with meat or vegetables).

Uzbek cuisine is also famous for fresh fruits, dried fruits and nuts such as figs, grapes, and almonds. Green tea and fermented milk "ayran" are popular drinks.

Hospitable Uzbek families warmly welcome guests at the table and offer dinner in accordance with local traditions. Uzbek cuisine is not only about delicious dishes, but also about rituals that strengthen connections between people.
