We will show you Tashkent unbeknown to tourists and visitors and cover different parts of the city including two markets: in the traditional old town and the busy city centre, each offering their best-known local street food.
As vegans who grew up in this meat-heavy city we were able to pick the best-to-offer spots for local plant-based street food and wanted to share our knowledge with others and tell the story of our city in a personal and unique way.
That means we don't want to make it a typical boring tour of eating food from place to place all the time. Instead we will happily customise it on the go with walks, pictures, stories and people.
------------------
Part of the money from the tour goes to support imprisoned vegan activists.

1Chorsu Bazaar Tashkent
We will start the tour with the oldest and most picturesque bazaar in Tashkent located in the old town and head straight to the 'Gluttony Lane' for the all-city-known Khanum - potato pastries in rich tomato sauce. À la lasagne but faster and better.
1 hour • Admission ticket free -
2Khadra
After leaving the bustling market, we'll stroll through the narrow, winding alleys of Tashkent's Old City. Take a moment to soak in the leisurely pace of local life as we notice the neighborhood children at play. Our destination is the Xadra neighborhood, where we will sample delicious, fresh-made steamed dumplings (manti) right before our eyes. Depending on the season, you can choose from wonderful savory fillings such as pumpkin, spinach, potato, or a vibrant vegetable mix!
40 minutes • Admission ticket free -
3Alay Bazaar
We will then head to Oloy market - a centrally located farmer's market. We will try Uzbek round bread staffed with traditional Korean salads popular among local school students during lunchtime.
1 hour • Admission ticket free -
4National Library of Uzbekistan named After Alisher Navoi
We will end the tour at a local restaurant (not far from the National Library) that dared to adapt local dishes into veganized ones. And yes, we will try the oxymoron of Central Asian cuisine: vegan beshbarmak, a traditionally Kazakh meaty dish turned into a plant-based wonder.
1 hour • Admission ticket free
