Humble "Mar Mar-Plov Samsa na Ivlieva" in Tashkent is my choice for grabbing a quick lunch. Their samsas combine crispy dough and delicious fillings!

"Te Samie Ponchiki" in Tashkent means 'those donuts' in Russian. I can safely say these donuts are the best I've ever tasted. 'Those donuts' indeed...

"Bukhara Cafe" in Tashkent makes food you would not normally find in the city in unique and very affordable variations! Try the tomato somsa...

"Minor Somsa" is the number 1 somsa place in Tashkent. You have to queue up - but it's worth it!

"Shashleek" makes some of the best shashlik in Tashkent. And even though their somsas are somewhat expensive, you can never order just one...

Arrive there early to choose from beef, lamb, potato, or pumpkin-filled somsa. Uzbek-style samosas are eaten with a mildly spicy thin tomato sauce...
