Mazali ekan

It is delicious

意思

Complimenting the taste of food.

🌍

文化背景

It is common to say 'Qo'lingiz dard ko'rmasin' (May your hands never see pain) after saying 'Mazali ekan' to a cook. Leaving a small amount of food on the plate used to be a sign that you are full, but today, finishing everything and saying 'Mazali ekan' is the best compliment. Even for tea, which is served first, you should say 'Mazali ekan' or 'Choy zo'r ekan' to acknowledge the host's hospitality. Vendors will often give you a 'tatib ko'rish' (taste test). Saying 'Mazali ekan' is expected before you start bargaining.

💡

The First Bite Rule

Say it after the very first bite to show you were eagerly anticipating the taste.

⚠️

Don't overdo it

Saying it once or twice is polite. Saying it after every single bite might seem insincere.
