Introduction
For lunch or dinner you can choose dough dishes here: lagman, manti, khanum and beshbarmak, including Uyghur and Dungan versions. Lagman is noodles with meat and vegetables in a sauce; it comes with broth or fried. Manti are usually steamed, with a meat or pumpkin filling.
There are 17 places in the issue, one added in this update. Manti are on the menu at 12 of them, lagman at 10, chuchvara at 6. Chuchvara are small meat dumplings: often served in broth, though there is a fried version too.
The selection drew on what Tashkent food writers publish; the places were checked for winter 2026. Pick the dish on the next pages first, then check the version: for lagman you can ask for the hot sauce on the side, for manti ask about the filling and how many come in a portion.

Lagman House
Фараби
Why it is here
The lagman names here read like a Uyghur dictionary: guyru, suyru, lazeru, moshuru, chinsayru, basay say and dapanji — plus the classic and the meat one. From other dough there is chuchvara, regular and Uyghur-style, and beshbarmak. Achichuk salad goes with lagman. The café opens at 08:30 and stays open until 02:00, so you can get lagman after midnight.

Why it is here
Residents name the lagman from here on more than one list: besides the September tally, it is in the residents' top five lagmans of the capital.
