Local tips
Dishes to Try
Plov (pilaf), somsa (baked pastry), lagman (noodle soup), and shashlik (kebabs) are staples.
Drink Bottled Water
Tap water is not recommended for drinking. Buy bottled water; Nestle and local brands are widely available.
Meal Times
Lunch is the main meal (12-2 PM). Restaurants may stop serving certain dishes by evening.
When eating plov, it is traditional to eat from a communal plate. The cook is respected as an artist, and complimenting the food brings great joy to your host.
