Remarkable setting and excellent service. I wish I'd had time for more than just a tasty snack and a glass of wine. It's a must see.

We booked a table by phone a day in advance and specifically asked for a window seat. When we arrived on time at noon, the receptionist refused to seat us there and instead tried to give the spot to European walk-in guests who arrived later. Only after we insisted did we get the table we had reserved. This was disappointing and not something we expected. When we left, the receptionist clearly saw us but chose to ignore us, which left a poor final impression. On a positive note, the male waiter who served us was quite attentive. Overall, the service felt inconsistent and could use improvement.

The food is very tasty. The pitch is level. The kitchen is doing so well that they brought us all the dishes at once. We fulfilled all the requests - fries without salt, raw carrots just on a plate. The service is excellent. Not intrusive. The girl asked and clarified everything. She left and literally 7 minutes later brought everything at once. The atmosphere of the 17th century residence is a separate thrill. We were sitting on the terrace. The heaters nearby warmed up perfectly. Stucco, antique columns, authentic tableware. Everything is fine. Definitely need to visit again. And special thanks for the music. She's not loud or intrusive.

A magical place! Everything is very tasty, fresh from good products,beautiful inside, one disadvantage is the difficulty of getting there, large tourist groups of Germans and Chinese are a priority, but we have never been refused, they even set up a table especially for the two of us, even at the door, but they did not neglect us, uninvited guests, I highly recommend this place, I didn't have time for photos, but I got into the dessert and took a picture of it, I'll come next fall and order it with tea.

We visited Ayvan in Bukhara and were very satisfied, the atmosphere is cozy, the food is delicious and the service is beautiful. I would especially like to mention our waiter Sirocha, who was very attentive, explained everything, helped us choose the dishes and made us feel as comfortable as possible. Thanks to his attitude, dinner was easy and pleasant. Thanks to the team and Siroch for the hospitality, we will definitely be back!

It's a wonderful restaurant, in every city, in every country, I try veal tartare, it's great in this place. Top 3 of all time. There was a slight lack of sharpness, and a drop of truffle oil is ideal. Top service in Bukhara. Walleye fillet blows the head off 🔥lamb shank with pea puree, it is made with butter or cream, judging by the taste, perfect texture. 👌🏻

I wanted to leave a review on this restaurant. Indeed, everything is on the level - very tasty food, the interior of an old Jewish house, the prices, I would say, are at the level of an average Moscow restaurant, but everything lies in the little things.When I didn't have enough cash to pay off, and it was only $1.8, the dinner cost 162,000 soums, I was categorically refused. It was very inconvenient for me to use a bank card, but I had to. At the same time, that day I paid 342,000 sums for lunch, and the same waiter served me. I appeal to the heads of the institution, is that your attitude towards the client? Do you have high prices as it is, do you automatically add 20% to your bill and still not be able to make a $1.8 discount? Do you understand that because of $1.8 you lost me as a client by several hundred soums? If this is your restaurant's policy, it's a pity.

It's a very nice place. The food is at a high level. Delicious. Pilaf is not on the menu, but it is there and really delicious (there is something to compare it with). The prices are medium-high, but it's worth it. The place is inconspicuous from the street, but in fact the restaurant is located in the museum house. A house with a story that the waiter will tell you briefly, you just have to ask.

We got here quite by accident, we wanted to go to another restaurant, but all the places there were packed with groups of tourists. And good! The entrance to the restaurant is located in an alley, you need to go through the lobby of the hotel. It's modest on the outside, but it's beautiful on the inside! A very stylish place with impeccable service. And, of course, incredibly delicious!

We came on a recommendation, it will be difficult to find this restaurant by chance. The restaurant is located in the courtyard of the hotel, very authentic atmosphere. An unusual setting with a mix of several styles. Very polite waiters and a pleasant friendly receptionist. According to the menu, the price tag is above average, but it's worth it, everything you tried is very tasty and beautiful

We were at lunch on Friday, the restaurant was completely empty, we were planted without any problems. We took a salad with beetroot and arugula - as a result, there is only the possibility of cheese balls (they said mozzarella, yeah) and pine nuts, which, apparently, took the entire salad budget. (75 thousand) Also took meat in Bukhara style for hot meals. It's a nightmare. Stringy beef baked in the oven without any spices with mashed potatoes. Well, that's just ridiculous. With all the variety of Uzbek cuisine and spices, cook an absolutely homemade dish! (120 thousand) Well, for the final chord, they did not issue a fiscal receipt with a QR code because the terminal was "frozen", that is, they did not even give the opportunity to receive a cashback. The total amount of the check is 330.000 soums. I do not recommend visiting if you are not a fan of home cooking for an overprice

If you're thinking of going or not! Don't think, go ahead! Objectively, there are not many restaurants in the city that are a straight Restaurant. Here I want to highlight the interior - it's just 12 out of 10 Don't expect super national cuisine from the establishment. Rather, you should come here when you get tired of eating pilaf with samsa. We need to book. Before visiting, go to the store and buy yourself national costumes. And take a picture of them in this place. Food: delicious, high-quality Service: top

In Bukhara, all the most interesting things are behind inconspicuous gates, like this restaurant, in the historical center. The interior, the kitchen, the waiters are all top-notch. The waiters know the history of the restaurant, which is very nice. They will support the conversation and enrich it with knowledge. The food is beyond praise! The restaurant gave unforgettable emotions, and this is rare!

A great hotel with an old restaurant. It is located in the center of the old town. The rooms are comfortable and clean. The breakfasts are normal. The restaurant is very pleasant. Live music on weekends. Perhaps the best in Bukhara. I recommend. We spent two days on a tour of Bukhara. I really liked it.

The restaurant is located in the courtyard of the Lyabi House Hotel. Geographically, it is located in the very center of the old town. The stunning atmosphere of the dinner is set by the ancient architecture: a terrace, columns, a carved ceiling, murals on the walls. The foreign guests liked the menu and bar list very much, and during their 4-day stay in Bukhara they were asked to arrange a repeat dinner there. Everything is very tasty and varied, the freshest greens and a beautiful presentation. You need to book in advance, during the season there are many not only tourists, but also locals in the restaurant.

The service was terrible, they said that on New Year's Eve it was mandatory to order a cheese plate and a bottle of sparkling wine at our expense, but they made an exception, thank you. We were shortchanged in the bill by 600 thousand. The same song was playing, and the music was turned off for half the evening. The food is not good, as is the atmosphere on the winter terrace. Disappointed, I wanted to arrange a festive evening for my parents, but there was only an unpleasant aftertaste. The waitress is a nice girl

The restaurant has a deposit policy. None of the restaurants in the city have such a policy. At the same time, the cuisine is absolutely not authentic, European, the prices are inflated several times compared to the restaurants around. At the same time, by giving up the kitchen, you automatically lose the deposit. But at the same time, we were charged 60 thousand soums ($5) for 2 bottles of water. The glasses smell like detergent

It's a great, albeit expensive place. Wonderful staff - both the manager and the waiters. Excellent cuisine, very tasty. A good selection of drinks. Payment by cash and card. Sooooo cute, vintage interior. It seems to me, taking into account the level of service and the environment, it is a must-visit place in Bukhara. We will be glad to visit again)

It's a great place both in terms of the interior, as well as in terms of the level of service and cuisine. The lovely waiters not only bring food, but also conduct a mini-tour of the restaurant, which is located in a very beautiful building. I highly recommend sitting on the terrace that gave the restaurant its name. I ate zander fillet with vegetables - beyond praise.

Pleasant and atmospheric restaurant. in a historic building. My family and I went to try the Bukhara pilaf and it was available for good luck. We took other dishes, all of them were of excellent quality and taste. The service is also at a high level. I didn't pay attention, the menu says 20% for the service. This is much more than you expect, and it's unpleasant if you didn't pay attention at the beginning.

We read the positive reviews and decided to visit this restaurant. We were very disappointed, first of all, with the speed of the service. We waited for the menu for about 10 minutes, and the order was prepared for more than 45 minutes! The second one arrived in an hour. Moreover, the order included soups, a chicken dish and pasta, nothing that can be cooked for a really long time. The lemonade was served without ice. Every 15 minutes, the receptionist came up to us and was surprised that there was still no order. An hour later, she came over with apologies and offered dessert from the establishment. The compliment and the story about the history of the building smoothed the situation a little, but for an institution of this level it is inexcusable.
