Amazing UZBEKISTAN KEBABS! + Farmers Market Tour | Samarkand, Uzbekistan

As my adventures in the ancient city of Samarkand continued, I headed out to tour an incredible local farmers market and tried some amazing Uzbekistan kebabs! Come along with me as I continue exploring this beautiful Silk Road city!
Siyob Bazaar sells lots of fresh local produce like watermelon, corn, vegetable dishes, figs, and more. There was also lots of bread!
I tried a fig, some grapes, and another fig. I loved how fresh the last fig was!
Next, I came across lots of plastic household items like buckets and containers. No one in the market wanted to be on-camera. Then I found vendors selling newspapers, more grapes, peaches, raisins, and figs. This bazaar was never-ending!
There was a vendor selling what had to have been hundreds of watermelons! I’d never seen a mountain of watermelon like it!
I continued through the labyrinthine bazaar toward the second level. On the way, I tried a super sweet blackberry and some fresh blackberry juice. It was so sweet and pure! It cost 10 som, or about $1 USD.
I came across a woman selling some beautiful hand-knitted hats. I bought one for 50,000 som, or about $5 USD. It makes a great souvenir!
In the sweets section, I saw rock candy, as well as a big, round sweet in the shape of bread. I tried some nutty, dense, and sweet yogurt that reminded me of Indian halwa.
Next, I saw a type of sweet wedding bread that smelled amazing. I noticed that a lot of the Uzbek bazaars were very similar and sold a lot of similar things. This bazaar didn’t sell any meat like others I had visited, though.
Next door to Siyob Bazaar is the Bibi-Khanym Mosque, which was built between 1399 and 1444. It was the biggest mosque in Central Asia at the time. Ninety-five elephants were used to built it!
The mosque was absolutely enormous and contained a large courtyard! I hadn’t seen one that big in years. The gate was massive and the entire building was a true work of art. It contains lots of blue and white. The craftmanship to build it was incredible. As is the case with all mosques, there is Arabic scripture on the walls.
Through a wooden gate, I could also see the ruins of the old mosque. From there, my guide and I passed by the grave of Uzbekistan’s first president, Islam Karimov, on our way to view the sunset. It’s right across from the mosque and bazaar. We couldn’t take photos of his marble grave, which follows in the traditions of Uzbek architecture.
From our spot, we viewed the sunset and had an epic view of the city, bazaar, the mosque, and the mountains and neighborhoods. Next, we went to go eat at Samarkand’s most famous kebab restaurant, Ikrom Choyxonasi.
There were 22 different types in total! I decided to get a bunch of different types of amazing Uzbekistan kebabs. I was hungry!
I started with some smooth Uzbek vodka, followed by cucumber, onion, and tomato and mint salad. The tomatoes are out of this world! They’re juicy and crunchy.
Next was fluffy, fresh Uzbek bread, which I added tomatoes to like bruschetta!
We ordered 5 amazing Uzbekistan kebabs: sheep, lamb, liver, beef, and chicken. I started with the liver, which was dense and so tasty and fatty! It was some of the best liver of my life! Next was a flavorful lamb chop with refreshing, crunchy onions. Next was the beef, which had a nice layer of fat around it. It was outstanding and so fresh!
Then, we had more lamb! This one was just lamb on the skewer instead of a lamb chop. The last kebab was beef and bread on a skewer. It had just the right amount of spices. It was amazing with the onions. It was so phenomenal!
I hope you enjoyed exploring the farmers market and having amazing Uzbekistan kebabs with me! If you did, please give this video a thumbs up and leave a comment. Also, please subscribe to my TH-cam channel so you don’t miss any of my upcoming travel/food adventures!
