Everything we tried was very tasty: the pilaf was stunningly juicy (we returned for it, liked it much more than in the pilaf center of Tashkent! 1 serving for two was enough for us), 5 lula-cab; but I liked dolma even more, bravo! Salads 5+. Salad with tongue is especially recommended. They serve quickly, tables in several halls. The dishes and furnishings are authentic. A great place for a tourist. The prices are adequate

The restaurant is outwardly cozy and the location is not bad, but! The attitude towards customers is very controversial and we have not seen this during a week traveling to different cities of Uzbekistan. We came in after a long day, tired of walking, they told us that there were no places, but they would meet us halfway and put us upstairs with a beautiful view - so far everything is fine. But on the veranda they have a waiter, maybe the head waiter, a bald-haired middle-aged man, whose behavior was different from anything we had met before. Whatever dish we chose, the answer was that the choice was bad, that it was not worth taking either salad or chalop, because they did not put anything in it, when asked to bring lagman, there was an exclamation "this is pasta in the navy", but very persistently tried to convince us to take the most expensive dishes from the menu. In general, in two minutes of dialogue, he convinced us that the desire to get up and go out, to find a normal place is much higher than the desire to stay there. Actually, no one detained us. Therefore, I consider it unbiased to put a unit at least because of the location of the restaurant, but the overall impression is extremely negative, there is no desire to visit again and I would not advise anyone to go there.

There is something to strive for, mostly put on stream. The kitchen is not bad, the service is lame. The location is good, it is suitable for eating, it will not work for a family evening gathering.

I really liked it! Delicious, excellent service, you can go to the air-conditioned room, you can go to the balcony.
I ate only national cuisine everywhere, and that is unlikely to be found in Moscow. In the photo, Chuchvara with spinach is dumplings and
Khanum. I recommend it!

Great cafe. The atmosphere, the service, the dishes, everything is fine. The price tag is slightly higher than in the average cafes in the city, but not critical

It is difficult to discuss the quality of the food, since we were unable to taste it - they refused to serve us.
The establishment was apparently designed to serve organized groups of tourists and they were not interested in feeding four people. We arrived at about five, at the entrance we were told that tourists were waiting for us from 8 and they could not accept us. At the same time, there were people in the institution and not many.
It is unclear and not very pleasant. I can't give you a good grade.

We were here on April 20 and August 30 this year. The interior is simple but very cozy. But the most important thing is that both times we were very very tasty.
The tastiest Bukhara pilaf, crispy puff samsa, delicate shakarob salad. Good service. And it is important that we did not feel any heaviness after eating. Prices are lower than in Tashkent. I wish the institution to keep its brand as well, and not spoil like some of the "neighbors" nearby.

A dirty place with very poor service, boorish waiters who wait a very long time, swear at guests in front of them , some kind of showdown takes place, the kitchen leaves much to be desired, there is very much not on the menu, mantas are heated, the dough is warm, and the meat inside is icy, the liver kebab is very dry, only onions saved it fresh, which can not be spoiled by anything, the dolma is very salty and so you can continue indefinitely.

The best restaurant in Bukhara!!
Very tasty food, we had lunch here, every time we tried to have dinner elsewhere and were disappointed. I liked it more than other restaurants.
Gorgeous receptionist, very tasty wine
We didn 't have time to take pictures of the dishes 🔥

A nice restaurant near the historical center. Delicious and fast enough. The waiters are friendly, they will advise and help with the choice, while everything is unobtrusive.

A wonderful restaurant. I read in the reviews before visiting that the price tag is high. No. After 2 weeks in Uzbekistan and when choosing normal places, you realize that the price tag is very pleasant. Very tasty. Very. The atmosphere of the fire is simple. And it's not in season. I think snatching a place here in the evening in the summer is a big challenge. 100% ready to visit.

Vaguri (young lamb meat) is cooked as needed, and the pilaf is delicious too. There are many salads to choose from. The fruit plate is huge 😁👍 The service is fast. Beer and wine, etc. are available. Cash and card are accepted without problems. I will definitely come back again.

Beautiful interior, in the center and the music was calm and good.
The apple strudel was cold, like a purchased loaf, or just lay there and besides apples there were a lot of things (it was not specified), the food from friends also turned out to be edible, but not tasty. A little disappointed
We booked a table, but we were asked to move - there was a convex tile on the floor under the new table, they said there was a hole under it. The bill arrived earlier than we asked.

The impression is twofold. On the first visit, we had dinner, everything was fine. The service is excellent, we took shish kebab, vaguri, achichuk - everything is very tasty. The portions are large. We were sitting on the veranda on the second floor. We liked everything and booked a table for lunch the next day to taste the famous Bukhara pilaf. And here's the minus - we came for lunch, and our table is occupied. We wanted to sit on the top, but all the tables were occupied there. It was very unpleasant, we went to another restaurant where we ate a very tasty pilaf.

The place is overrated or the reviews are twisted, we went to eat because Yandex gave the very first one.
It is too expensive for Uzbekistan, there is no taste, the portions are small.
We got a hair in the barbecue, and a glass in the pilaf at the next table.
However, the sensations were not very good.

Definitely ready to visit! The restaurant is located in the old town and the building itself belongs to the relics... Everything is very tasty, and pilaf and salads and samsa... But I will highlight the kebabs from the young lamb! Tastier than I've ever tasted, they melt in my mouth!

The staff doesn't know the menu at all. When asked what vegetables were in the Lebanese salad, the waiter called a colleague to help, who assured that there were various fried vegetables, in fact it was finely chopped greens with tomatoes. The skewer of a beef kebab consists of 5 pieces, 3 of which are pieces of pure fat. According to the waiter, such a service is available all over Uzbekistan.

It's very scary that the cuisine is not delicious, the portions are small! The place of deception of tourists. Where does the tourism department of the Bukhara region khokimiyat look? Everything that was ordered is of very low quality, and yet tourists think that this is how it should be, and they leave without tasting the true taste of Uzbek dishes. The most interesting thing is that a large number of customized reviews do not correspond to reality, but are actually written by the staff of the institution, the waiters take dollars left and right, the question arises is it legal? What infuriates at the dollar rate of 12,500 soums, they manage to cheat by changing at the rate of 11500-11600 soums per dollar, and this is all at 15% for the service of which there is no. Dear guests of our city and friends, I do not advise you to visit this institution, consult with people and visit the restaurants Melody, Chinor, Flagship, Sogdiana, Saodat, etc

I really wanted to get into this restaurant after reading the reviews and rating it. The day before the visit, we booked a table, asked for a table on the open veranda on the 2nd floor with a view of the city. The next day we arrived at the time in a great mood. No one was happy for us, we were asked three times with a dissatisfied look if there was a reservation, and finally we were seated at the table. Although the table was on the open veranda on the 2nd floor, it was small and not on the side that we had requested the day before. When we ordered drinks, they came up to us and asked us to move to another place under the pretext of booking for others. We were transferred to an even smaller table in the most uncomfortable place. Further, our waiter did not understand Russian at all, could not answer any questions. Later it turned out that there was no wine we ordered, we were offered another one, two dishes on the menu were simply not available. But we saw the most unpleasant thing later. The French and locals came in without any armor. They were offered large tables that were, like, booked, with a view of the city, smiling and worried in front of them. Our story with the transfer was repeated before our eyes with another Russian-speaking couple. By the way, they refused to transfer for the sake of the French, even after the persuasion of the staff. We just concluded that Russians are not liked here, and that only large tourist groups are welcome here. The service in the restaurant is very poor, drinks are not refilled, dishes are not cleaned, food is brought chaotically, everything is hot and snacks. The food is not very tasty. Vaguri, for example, was frankly dry, the tomatoes in the salad were rubber, but soaked in basil, the pita bread was dry. In general, this restaurant is not cozy, not warm, not homely, but rather looks like a dining room for formal service of tourist groups and foreigners not from Russia. No restaurant in Khiva, Samarkand, and Bukhara itself has ever encountered such an indifferent and formal attitude!

Of the advantages: fast service and close to the center. Cons: the liver was brought with blood. When asked why it was with blood, they gave the answer that it was juicy. I've never seen a liver cooked with blood. I'm a cook myself and I've never seen anything like it. The waiters are actually schoolchildren. Chefs do not have a cook's education. A very remote idea is known what serving a dish is. The furniture is all old: chips, scratches, scuffs. There are no desserts on the menu. There are no dishes that are not related to meat. The air conditioner is not working. It was hot sitting on the second floor.

We stopped for lunch during our visit to Bukhara. There were a lot of people at lunchtime, but they found us a table. Portions of small soups (rather small); skewer of shish kebab 3 meat + 2 fat; puff pastry is hard and dry; pilaf portions are large, the meat looks like boiled. There were mixed feelings, on the one hand, it turned out to be full, but the taste is average. There were 400k sums for 4 adults. The interior is interesting and cozy.

The worst place in Uzbekistan that we have visited. At the entrance, they are greeted with faded photos of celebrities who have been here, but probably fed them a little differently than the rest of the guests. Apparently, the establishment is designed for a one-time visit by tourists.
Shurpa is a quarter of a potato, a piece of hard meat and a piece of carrot in broth. That's it. I regret that I didn't take a picture, it's a pathetic sight.
Chuchvara is just store-bought cold dumplings in broth. Chuchvara soup, which should contain vegetables and meat in addition to small homemade dumplings, cannot be called.
Lagman- navy pasta with minced meat filled with fat
Dolma is a terrible minced meat with a lot of veins
Bukhara samsa is a similar claim as for dolma, in addition, the dough was stuck together, apparently they heated it in the microwave.
Baklava- consisted not of honey, but of boiled condensed milk, I can't imagine where such horror could be found
The only dish that was not bad was a liver kebab, it tastes OK, not overcooked, tender
Prices are generally slightly lower than in restaurants in the area, but the portions are small
Service 3/5

Great restaurant. But I didn't really like that the tablecloth was in cigarette-burned holes. The waitress didn't really understand Russian, so she messed up with the order. If you keep the level of a good restaurant, there should be no such incidents, especially since there are quite a lot of textiles and Russian-speaking people in the city.

We didn't find any advantages. There was a feeling that no one was going to work at 16 o'clock and everyone was waiting for tourists to come in the evening. All the food is cold, cooked strongly in advance and slightly warmed up. Perhaps in the evening, when the situation is different, this place is good and tasty, but you don't want to check it anymore.

The first time we came at 22:30, we were told that it was closed, although it was indicated that the working hours were up to 24
The next day they came to eat. As a result, they forgot to bring some of what they ordered, and even in the bill there was something that was not brought. The food is mediocre. The price tag is above average.

Positive:
•Location
•Menu
•Prices
Minuses:
• A lot of young guys who don't know how to serve tables.
• Due to the large flow of tourists, there is a long wait.
There was such a case. Two hairs were found in the glass, they called the waiter and said: "we already find the second hair in the glass." The waiter replies, "maybe it's your hair."
I write without aggression, but was it funny then?))
The best defense is attack.

I put 5 with a minus , but 5!
I ate festive pilaf - good!
I came for the second time, because it is conveniently located and you can park.
A small minus, a little hectic, I would like a little more attention, sometimes I had to wait longer than it usually takes to just place an order.
But still in advance, you guys 5)) Thank you!

It's a pretty good restaurant. We came across a wonderful charismatic waiter Nuriddin, but only he took out the whole service, other waiters frankly could not cope: they carried the order for a long time, forgot to bring the appliances and so on. In general, it is very hectic in the restaurant even after lunch, and the staff does not have time.
The food is not bad, not to say that it struck me with something, for a solid four. The interior is pleasant, but the chairs are uncomfortable. From the second floor, there is probably a beautiful view of the Lyabe House.

We chose this restaurant based on "purchased " reviews. The restaurant is located in the center of the historic city, but when we were led to a table in a closed warm room, we were shocked - it was very dirty, probably in the cheapest eateries cleaner than there. We decided to stay and try their cuisine, but the kitchen turned out to be the most ordinary, like in other cafes. We were also surprised that when paying the bill, which included a 15% tip, the waiter was very unhappy that we did not tip him from above.

Old Buhara was one of the first places in Bukhara that we visited. I liked everything: starting from the interior, ending with the service. The hall we were in is quite small, but very authentic and conveys the whole flavor of Uzbek culture. From the kitchen we tried: Bukhara pilaf (Osh Sofia) and dolma with suzma. Apart from the fact that the interior is very modest, it conveys the whole flavor of Uzbekistan. I would like to say a huge thank you to the staff for the speed of service and hospitality. Katta rahmat. Sizga ijodiy muvaffaqiyatlar tilayman.

The atmosphere and prices are not bad, but in this place, for the first time in 2 weeks in Uzbekistan, I remembered why I usually do not order lamb. The mutton was smelly in all the dishes (even in the lula, which was supposed to be beef). Fried lagman looked like pasta Bolognese from a cheap canteen. Of the whole company, the only one who was not disappointed with the order was a friend who does not eat meat.

A restaurant with a good location. Beautiful setting. Atmospheric.
Service.. Not very. The usual Mastava soup is cooked for a long time.
I would have cooked it faster at home.
The portion is truly a restaurant, 200 grams. I think what to catch up with.
There are no complaints about the quality, it's delicious. The serving volume and service are depressing. They carry the bill for a very long time.

Cool interior, 5+ room service. But the kitchen failed. We visited on Saturday, as other places were booked until 21.00 according to recommendations. Besides us, 1 more table was occupied, it was a little confusing. All 3 dishes were delicious (lagman, manty and samsa), but the dough was a little damp everywhere. They promised to send it to the kitchen, we hope they will improve. In the meantime, three. Well, one of the disadvantages is the mandatory service fee, as in many places in Uzbekistan. But with a raw dough, I didn't want to leave it at all.
