I’m looking mainly for a place to buy qazi ( [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qaz%C4%B1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qaz%C4%B1) ), but I also would like to try some food as well. Does anyone know if there are any?
When I search for it, I see a few Uzbek restaurants but it seems like they’re closed permanently. But maybe I’m wrong.

Pour one out for Uzbek Bowl, I hard got to know ye.
We do have a new Afghan restaurant that looks pretty good.
Usta kababgy!
UzEats was such a good place 🙁
For now, there is a Kazakh family that sells manti and pelmeni at local markets and they will deliver website orders to your home. https://adalfood.com/
Edit: Adal sells frozen boil at home manti and pelmeni. They are excellent. I had them delivered once and also purchased them from Al Zaytoon Market.
Afghan Village has Kabuli Pulao (carrot raisin topped lamb shank pilaf) done in an Afghan style of this pan-Central Asian dish with basmati rice and it’s great (needed a sprinkle of salt, tho both times I got it). They also have beef tikka kabab (shashlik).
I saw Alamo Skewers is now selling plov or zhua fan which is the Uyghur version of the same pan-Central Asian carrot lamb rice pilaf. They also sell kewap (Uyghur style skewered kabab). I think the owner is Han Chinese and I don’t know his story or Uyghur connection, but this Turkic cuisine also falls under the Central Asian food umbrella.
I don’t think you’ll find qazi anywhere. I wish we did still have an Uzbek place.

It’s Texas. Maybe we need to assist the immigration of some of the plov experts who cook the +1000lbs batches in Tashkent. Make it like Snow’s BBQ. Weekend thing primarily (or State Fair) that’s as big as Texas. We have plenty of range land for those Kardashian sheep.

>Food holds more than just flavors — it also holds history. For Diego Duan, owner and operator of Camino Alamo BBQ, his **Uyghur-style skewers** represent his road to freedom.
A barbeque enthusiast, Duan opened Camino Alamo BBQ this summer, with all business taking place on the small rectangular patio of the SouthCloud Ramen. Customers choose between lamb, beef or chicken Uyghur-style skewers, which are all made to order.
The answer is no. Qazi is horse meat, your wiki link says. You won’t find that in Austin, all of Texas and probably all of USA. No way.
