Halal Dining in Uzbekistan
Uzbekistan is a Muslim-majority country where virtually all food is halal by default. The traditional cuisine features some of the world's most flavorful dishes, prepared with centuries-old recipes passed down through generations.
Must-Try Uzbek Dishes
- Plov (Osh): The national dish - rice pilaf with lamb, carrots, chickpeas, and a blend of cumin and other spices. Each city has its own style.
- Shashlik: Juicy skewered lamb or beef, grilled over charcoal. Best enjoyed at a local chaikhana.
- Lagman: Hand-pulled noodles in a rich tomato-based broth with lamb and vegetables.
- Samsa: Flaky pastry pockets filled with spiced lamb and onions, baked in a tandoor oven.
- Non: Traditional Uzbek bread, especially famous in Samarkand. Often decorated with intricate patterns.
