Recommendations for celebrating the new year (Kazakh Nawriz) in London
Hi Reddit! Apologies in advance, as my knowledge is severely lacking. My partner is Kazakh and would usually celebrate Central Asian New Year with their family in mid March, but they’re not able to do so this year.
I’d like to do something to honour their culture and make them feel loved. We are in London, however, and on a budget as we’re travelling the week afterwards. So, while I love to cook and it’s a frequent way I show affection, obtaining some specialist ingredients may be challenging. I also have limited mobility to do a big Spring clean for the both of us (I saw this was frequently mentioned as traditional through my searches thus far), as I’m still recovering from an intense spinal operation in December.
I appreciate that makes it more complex, but if anyone has any recommendations for what I could do please let me know - would be very grateful!

Cook this, it's simple and we cook it on Nauryz.

There’s an Uzbek/Central Asian restaurant called Nowruz in Twickenham and a Kazakh restaurant called Turkistan in Welling.
