Kegeyli, Uzbekistan
Shayxana Nayman
Shayxana Nayman sits in Kegeyli, a working town in Karakalpakstan where the supply chain for local dining runs through the same agricultural channels that have fed this corner of Central Asia for centuries. The kitchen draws on the region's grain, livestock, and produce traditions rather than imported ingredients, placing it firmly in the Karakalpak cooking tradition that remains largely unfamiliar to outside visitors.
