If time is limited, it helps to pick a short list of dishes worth trying in advance. For breakfast, fresh non bread with tea works well and takes no more than half an hour. For lunch, plov makes sense: most places cook it by a certain hour, so it's better not to leave it for late evening. A quick bite — samsa bought to go from a street bakery — needs no table at all. For dinner, shurpa or manti are good lighter options after a busy day. This order covers the main flavors of Bukhara cuisine without long gaps between meals.
