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.

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!

The portions are small, the prices are higher than usual. The two soups we took were heavily salted. Portions of shish kebab are three small pieces, not oriental somehow)

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

Very tasty pilaf was prepared especially for us, all the food is very tasty, the waiters are fast and cheerful, I liked it so much the first time that we came here the next day for lunch. It's a great rooftop track, it's magical in the evening. I will recommend it.

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.

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.

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.

Deception!!! They count the raw weight of meat. They brought 390 grams (outweighed) instead of half a kilo, as indicated in the menu. They don't write about the raw weight. The shurpa is generally 200 grams and has the most disgusting taste... In general, I'm unpleasantly surprised.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I don't know how delicious the food is, I couldn't have lunch, because we came to the restaurant, sat down at the table, they took our order, brought cola and mojito, then we waited for 30 minutes for food, in the end they brought only cabbage soup, it's funny to even write, in a deep plate on the bottom))), saying this the waiter, of course, apologized and asked to wait a little longer, we'll replace him now... in the end, we just left, paying for the drinks and 15% for the service... I would not recommend visiting with such "care"…

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 tourist place, a lot of people, there may be problems with tables, it is better to book in advance. In general, it is quite cozy, there are many different areas. I'm a little upset about the kitchen, I can't say that it's very tasty. It's been a long wait, really long. The three-course dinner lasted for an hour. There was a desire to get up and leave. Maybe you'll have better luck!

Maybe I don't understand something, but when ordering a vegetable plate, I expect delicious tomatoes and whole cucumbers, greens. The result is tomatoes from pyaterochka, one large cucumber cut into rings ... the greens are delicious. When ordering a loin on the bone, you expect "pistols" accordingly. The result is, where there are fat pieces, where there is something bone on meat or meat on a piece of bone. Pilaf… It's kind of lean. Dietary. The meat reminded me of a good stew... a purely walk-through place near the sights, I didn't find anything wow wow there. Samsa is a separate song, it's better in Moscow, they left upset.

We were with our family on August 24th. We chose this place because of the PR surrounding this overpriced restaurant. We came there hoping for a pleasant evening and a delicious dinner. But... Everything went so well that the whole family couldn't resist writing a review about this "wonderful place". The first impression is deceptive, of course. The unique national flavor and original interior are a delight. And then the fun begins. We all come to such places not only to see, but also, first of all, to eat delicious food. But with the second one, everything is not smooth here. We were well received. They took me to the terrace. We accepted the order. And everything.. They brought tea and beer and that's it, they forgot. They asked for sugar five times... They brought it, but they forgot the spoon. We were reminded three times before she appeared on our table. There were four of us, but we didn't manage to eat together. Each dish was brought with an interval of 20 minutes. So only one ate, under the sad looks of the others. The taste of the dishes also leaves much to be desired. Fried lagman, lula and Kazan kebab did not cause joy. Not by serving, nor by taste.(Photos of the dishes were posted by my wife). The bartender was especially pleased. It was fascinating to watch him put ice and the rest of the ingredients for the mahito into jugs with his bare hands. Result. Don't fall for PR. You'd better find another restaurant.

It's a pity that I was guided by the rating. I didn't like the restaurant. I will describe the impressions for others.
I liked only the interior and the surroundings.
I didn't like the service and the food. There is something to compare it with, even in the center there may be less beautiful, but more delicious places.
When serving dishes, the waiter dropped food from the plate twice - a flatbread on the ground, and meat on the table. I am glad that the tortilla was still taken away, but I am outraged that the waiter put the meat back on the plate with his hands. Maybe it will seem appropriate to someone - but not to me.
It doesn't hurt to express at least some regret for your own carelessness.
By dishes:
- The tortillas are not fresh, even slightly stale.
- Laguri. This is lamb fried in oil. They said that it was fresh "just arrived today." To be honest, either it was not fresh, or you are somehow cooking it incorrectly. Because the meat was absolutely not tasty, not juicy, and not chewed in places. And it cost like 10 skewers of mutton.
- We couldn't take the pilaf there (it ran out), we were offered to try Laguri - about it above.
- The kebab is normal, but apparently because of the overall spoiled impression, it did not delight us either.

I expected more, authentic and generally delicious. In the very center (there is alcohol). We took the meat (shish kebab) delicious. The staff is at 4. The location is of course very good.
I'm betting 4 out of 5.

We had a mini-group vacation in Uzbekistan. The Old Bukhara restaurant was chosen for lunch. We settled down on the veranda. We started ordering, it's always difficult in a group, because there are a lot of repetitive dishes and everything in turn. The result was a set of sama and soup. I ordered samsa, I'm ordering soup. There is no soup, I say OK, then I will order another set, I refuse the males and the waiter rolls his eyes and clicks .... the service is of course lame, but such open dissatisfaction.... A girl from our group was wearing an expensive polontine bought in Bukhara. Sitting on a bench at the table pulled him over the nails that were sticking out. They asked the manager. They didn't come to us. There were no apologies. The waiter covered the place with nails with a blanket. The manager, aka the "head waiter" whose photo hangs on the wall with all the celebrities, was standing downstairs and did not come to the table. According to the menu, some of the items were delicious. But the mood and the thing is ruined.

We came to this restaurant, considering the high rating. We wanted to order achuchuk (tomato and onion salad), but we were told that achuchuk is a salad with tomatoes and cucumbers. Well, OK, we ordered a salad with tomatoes and onions (not achuchuk, but another name in this particular restaurant). We also ordered vaguri, chicken kebab and flatbread. The meat is delicious. The lepushka was never seen. Besides us, there was another couple sitting. They left quickly, they didn't wait for the tortilla either. At 23:05, the waiter informed us that the restaurant was already closed and showed with all his appearance that it was time for us. We referred to the opening hours of the restaurant, where the opening hours are indicated until 00:00. When paying, the waiter said that the payment was only in cash. When we said that there was no cash, he said that it was possible by card. After payment by card, the fiscal receipt was not given (they gave a number where you can request a fiscal receipt). The waiter left at 23:20 after paying without saying goodbye. It's a very unpleasant impression. We'll go to another place tomorrow. We do not recommend visiting

This is still the best restaurant, next to the Labi House. The waiters, the food, the atmosphere - everything is at a good level. The table reservation system is not entirely clear - often you will be seated not at the table that you chose when booking, but where the manager will show you in the evening) Otherwise, everything is great! I recommend it!

The usual place where you can eat manta rays or barbecue, drink beer. The prices are good, but the chicken kebab turned out to be very spicy, my wife couldn't eat it, she didn't like the mantas, I had to eat everything, and she left hungry. But even I couldn't eat the salads, they turned out to be disgusting.
