History of Bukhara
Bukhara and sarif – noble and saint. These are only two of the many laudatory words that would label this old city.
Great poets of the Orient as Rudaki, Dakiki and Fidrousi wrote poems about the town in the 9-10th centuries, and the history of Bukhara was also taken down in the 10th century, but the settlement was mentioned in the ancient legends and heroic poems too. The famous Silk Road that connected China with Iran and India with Europe passed through Bukhara as well.
The great Silk Road as a significant commercial route, started to develop in the 3rd century B.C. and functioned as an important milestone in the history of civilisation till the 16th century. The interconnected and traverse series of caravan routes passed through Europe and Asia, from the Mediterranean Sea to China, and served as key meeting lines of cultural relations between Europe and Asia in the ancient and medieval times.
The towns and settlements along the Silk Road flourished but many wars, fires and famine desolated them too. Some disappeared from the maps forever leaving behind only ruins as mementos that meant sources for creating legends and myths. Other towns were stuck by fires several times, depopulated then revived and began to start their life again and dazzled the whole world with their beauty, wealth, richly ornamented domes and the azure and terracotta architecture of mausoleums and mosques. Bukhara is one of the few cities in the world that has lived, developed and changed continuously from as early as the 5th century B.C.
For many millenniums there have been noisy bazaars, merchants have been dealing and trading with expensive silk, precious stones, spices, pains, dyes, gold, silver, exotic southern birds and animals. Traders have always been amazed by the cuisines of the peoples of the Orient, and among them the Uzbek kitchen too, that has managed to preserve and cherish its ancient traditions and specialities.
We have brought you to Budapest a small piece of the city, the taste of Bukhara to offer you to enjoy the special oriental flavours of the Uzbek cuisine.
