Tashkent food is so delicious!!

First, let me introduce two restaurants under the Russian restaurant group FAMILY GARDEN.
I think they're both all-rounders, excelling in appearance, taste, and atmosphere.
🍽Lali: You absolutely can't miss Lali when visiting Tashkent.
Loved by locals and tourists alike,
it's practically the pinnacle of Tashkent's restaurants.
The decor has a bit of a Bohemian-Moroccan feel.
I recommend their grilled meat skewers and cold platter,
and a pistachio roll for dessert.
🍽Pro.Khinkali: Specializes in Georgian cuisine.
Online reviews say Georgian food is terrible, but this place is an exception!
Although we went late and their signature roasted chicken was sold out, their khinkali (Georgian dumplings) were amazing!
Especially the mushroom filling—rich broth, springy skin, and flavorful meat—highly recommended! 💥 This restaurant is part of the same group as Lali,
so some dishes can be found on both menus.
🍽CAFE 1991
This is a Lebanese restaurant with Mediterranean-influenced cuisine, light and refined.
Their hummus and baba ganoush (eggplant sauce) are particularly outstanding. The grilled meats are also lighter in flavor than the typical Central Asian dishes, making it a good option when you're tired of grilled skewers and want a change.
🍕DODO Pizza
From Russia's largest pizza chain, it's easy to find stores in Tashkent.
They offer a wide variety of pizzas with consistent quality and affordable prices, making them suitable for those on a tight schedule or craving a quick meal.
🥢 Korean Food Recommendations
Because of the large Korean population in Tashkent, the Korean food is surprisingly delicious.
The two most popular spots among locals are 9292 and Hangang, where they serve authentic kimchi stew, grilled meat, and bibimbap. Eating Korean food in Central Asia is quite a unique experience.
🍢Must-Try Street Food: Lyulya Kebab
In Uzbekistan, there's a type of grilled meat skewer called Lyulya Kebab.
It's made by grilling seasoned ground lamb or beef on metal skewers until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with an irresistible aroma.
If you see "Lyulya Kebab" on the menu when ordering shashlik, it refers to this version of the kebab.
Easily found at street stalls, it's cheap and delicious, a true "local favorite"!
