He runs the HALAL FOOD channel on YouTube, presenting dishes of Uzbek cuisine from chaikhana and street-food kitchens{cite:source/youtube-halal-food-uzb}.

    Career and work

Some of his videos have been viewed millions of times, among them a cooked-tongue dish passing 3.7 million views and another dish passing 2.8 million{cite:source/youtube-halal-food-uzb}.

    Positions and criticism

    This section records the positions attributed to the subject and others' positions on him, each cited to its source; they are not the museum's verdict.

    The only source available on him is his own channel, which presents his work as a professional chef documenting his country's cuisine for an Uzbek-speaking audience; no source attributes a school to him, so no school is recorded for him in this record{cite:source/youtube-halal-food-uzb}.
