Samsa is the embodiment of Eastern hospitality and culinary mastery. Its roots run deep in Uzbek cuisine, where every detail has been thought out for centuries. Crispy flaky dough, tender meat, and aromatic spices create a unique flavor combination that is irresistible. Samsa has a rich, juicy taste with a slight spiciness from fried onions. It is served hot, accompanied by fresh vegetables or sauces. This golden triangle not only satisfies but also reveals the traditions of Uzbek cuisine, where food is more than just a meal; it is a story passed down through generations.
