Central Asian cuisine refers to the culinary traditions of the five former Soviet republics in Central Asia: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Tajikistan. The cuisine is characterized by its heavy use of meat, particularly lamb, beef, and horse meat, as well as dairy products such as yogurt and sour cream.

One of the most popular Central Asian dishes is plov, a pilaf made with rice, meat, carrots, onions, and various spices. Other popular dishes include shashlik (grilled meat skewers), lagman (noodle soup), manty (steamed dumplings filled with meat), and samsa (baked pastries filled with meat or vegetables).

Bread is also an important part of Central Asian cuisine, with traditional varieties such as lepyoshka, a round flatbread, and non, a large, round, flatbread baked in a tandoor oven.

Tea is the most popular beverage in Central Asia, often served with sweets or pastries. Ayran, a salty yogurt drink, is also commonly consumed. Additionally, Central Asian cuisine features a wide range of pickled vegetables and fruits, with carrots, cucumbers, and tomatoes being particularly popular.
