One of the most popular street foods in Uzbekistan is a pillowy pastry filled with minced meat, spices, onions, and sometimes vegetables. Known as samsas, these pastries come in all shapes and sizes and are always baked in vertical tandoor ovens. The result is a crispy and flaky outside layer that cocoons a steaming-hot meat center.

We visited Samsa Markazi, a popular restaurant in Namangan, Uzbekistan, that makes 20 different types of samsas and sells nearly 3,000 of them every weekend.

  1. I live in the city where this video was recorded but never ate food from this place, although, I've seen this spot hundred times. It seems I'm losing much due to this video.

  2. you could eat 2 kilograms of food in one sitting, or just share one and eat like a normal person throughout the day

  3. in a few years it will be one of the most developed countries in the world…
