Cooking Traditional Food in Samarkand with Local People

★ 4.8

This is a hands-on alternative to a restaurant meal: a visit to Siab Bazaar to shop for ingredients, followed by cooking traditional Uzbek dishes, including plov, with a local family in their own kitchen. It's one of the most reviewed experiences on GetYourGuide for the whole city, with thousands of travellers rating it among the best things they did in Samarkand.

It works well paired with a Siab Bazaar visit you'd likely make anyway, turning a market walk-through into something more memorable.

Local tip: Check the listing for dietary accommodation options before booking if you have restrictions – home-cooked menus vary by family.
