Description

Good to Know

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.

Chorsu 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.

Khadra

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!

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.

National 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.

Couldn't have been better

Well, what can i say - the tour was outstanding from start to finish. We visited a number of places, each preesenting us with a different aspect of plant-based cuisine in Uzbekistan. Originally we were a bit afraid of the admission fee but the food and transportation is included in the price, and of course you are encouraged to buy something on your own. I recommend going on an empty stomach! The guide arranged and navigted through the talks with vendors expertly and, of course, was a great pers...read more

we really enjoyed our time with sayyid. especially the beginnings at the chorsu baazar was very nice. overall he brought us to many different places, so we got a good overview what food culture is like in Usbekistan. He was so friendly and it was a pleasure getting to know each other and his growing community in Tashkent - great work! Vegan food is just so tasty with the local ingredients. Thank you so much for the tour!

Friendly and informative guide with incredibly tasty food

Who knew there were so many vegan options around and under your nose in central Asia! Sayyid was profession, friendly, informative, and got us lovely food. My only complaint is that the minimum booking size is two people so it becomes quite expensive when booking for 1, might be nice to have a way for individuals to join in groups to ensure the minimum amount is met without doubling the per person cost. Either way I consider it worth the money I spent :)

We had a lovely morning!...

We had a lovely morning! The tour brought us to different places and we tried some amazing local vegan foods that we would probably have missed out on without this tour.

Outstanding and tasty introduction to Uzbekistan

This was a brilliant tour whether you are vegan, vegetarian or eat meat but want to try some very tasty food. My wife (vegan), 12-year old (vegetarian) and I spent about half a day touring markets, some local restaurants and bits of the city with Akmal. We learnt about the food, Uzbek culture, history and life living in Tashkent. It was fascinating, varied and accessible. This was our first full day in Tashkent and we gained lots of tips and ideas for our holiday. We would highly recommend it to...read more
