Very delicious beef soup and beef pilaf! My friends and I have ordered the Uzbek soup (beef soup) three times and we still decide to enjoy it tomorrow. I also recommend Shuvit oshi, it tastes well with the special cheese.
Also, the air conditioner works well and this restaurant holds a good dining environment.

This is one of the first retaurants in Khiva, it's run by nice, well experienced family. The location of the restaurant is marvelous, just close to tallest minaret of Khiva.

Excellent cafe, very tasty local dishes. The price is lower than in other cafes, the quality is not inferior at all.
The waiters are all young guys, they try to please, they get wet, but it doesn't bother much.
You can pay by transfer by phone number from Russian banks, it helps a lot.

We were at the restaurant on October 4, 2024. The food is normal, but the service is negative and at the same time 15%. Everyone is puzzled by the preparations for the reception of groups, they do not pay attention to individual visitors for a long time. There are a lot of waiters, everyone runs between the tables doing nothing and constantly talking on the phone. One waiter petted a stray dog and then took the dishes to the customers, thank God not to us. Our waiter was just chewing gum, it's good that it didn't fall out of his mouth. Table setting at the canteen level.

All the places in the fortress are cute, and it's also delicious. A good selection of dishes, the prices are typical for the Old Town. But it's really delicious. We took caesar, a mix of dumplings and pilaf. I liked everything very much. Unusually tasty tortillas.
The staff is also very nice.

The food is very tasty and the prices are low, despite the location on the tourist route itself. I didn't like the rest of the restaurants in the old town very much, they work "for tourists"

It is quite tasty and budget-friendly for a tourist place. I ate and sat with pleasure. Of the disadvantages, there is a relatively small selection of dishes. Although everything is basic. And the fact that they do not work in the morning, but only start in the afternoon. It is located in the Old Town, so it is convenient to walk.

A wonderful restaurant! Reasonable prices, large portions, courteous staff. The interior is simply stunning. The establishment is located in a 17th-century building, if my memory serves me correctly, After the first visit, we only went here for lunch and dinner. A separate ➕ for manta rays! The dough is thin, thin, a lot of meat and juice 🥰

Authentic Uzbek-style cafe! Very tasty food! Pleasant surroundings, good service! We were sitting on the square accompanied by songs and dances in the national style! By the way, the room is very cozy. And around the panorama of ancient Khiva! What else does a tourist need!!!!

We stayed at the hotel next door. It was the first place of eating in Khiva, and as often happens, the best. It is the format of a street cafe with its price/quality ratio and an adjustment for tourism. The "Fresh" salad turned out to be the best in terms of ingredients. Tomatoes, cucumbers, onions - everything is super. Although of course not the cheapest 35t.s, pilaf at 40t.with the most adapted to tourists (min fat). Beer at 40t.s. Liked it very much, although I write from memories. We visited many places of Uzbekistan in 10 days, but looking at the photo, we immediately remembered this wonderful cafe.

Long service, napkins/plastic bottles are flying outside - the waiters don't care..You're sitting in a pigsty. I don't even remember what kind of food there is.. How 'impressed' was the service and the setting. We were at the beginning of May at lunchtime.
PS The waiter (17 years old) preferred to communicate with me in English...the Russian does not understand.

A very good restaurant in the very center of the fortress. There is a lot of space, mostly outdoors in the season.
The service is slow, because there are a lot of people.
It is tedious to book places in advance.
The food is generally delicious.

The place is beautiful. But the rest is not very good - starting from the inarticulate menu worn to holes, continuing with the inattention of the waiters and mediocre cuisine and ending with the fact that they poured sugar to their taste into the ordered kettle of black tea (I drink without sugar at all).

I will write briefly:
- the view from the terrace outside is beautiful
- it was cool in the evening, they asked me to bring a blanket. They brought me a warm scarf right away, my husband asked for it 4 times. As a result, they brought something like a national jacket. Thanks for that.
- waiters are generally slow
- chebureks are delicious
- chicken kebab is not very good
- they forgot about ordering our dessert
- beer is 4 times more expensive than in the store
- the menu is sparse, there is little choice
- we asked 3 times to be counted
- 15 tips are included in the bill%
Going 1 time is fine, no more

Очень приветливый персонал, не навязчивый, подскажут блюда опираясь на ваши предпочтения. Дизайн ресторана и атмосфера в стиле города. Заказы готовят очень быстро и все самое свежее и вкусное. Здесь можно попробовать зелёный лагман, очень вкусный, для меня его приготовили без мяса. Порции большие. В обеденное время лучше бронировать, так как место туристическое. Рекомендую.

We were here in May 2024. In the evening there were a lot of people, mostly foreigners, everything was busy inside, so we sat outside, but we would like to be inside (it was windy). In the evening, when the lights are turned on, it is very beautiful, the food is delicious, the prices are average, tips are included in the receipt.

Красивое атмосферное место, очень хороший персонал, но надо добавить в меню блюд разных, кроме хорезмской кухни мало что есть. Цены приемлемые, и да - расположение кафе - одно из лучших

God knows we tried to eat here. But the staff did everything to make it impossible. Therefore, get such feedback. I must say right away that the kitchen could not be evaluated, so I had to cancel the order and leave. The prices on the menu are higher than in a restaurant in Tashkent city, but we think okay, it can be very tasty. As a result, you can only pay in cash, not transfers via click are not accepted.. keep this in mind. They don't let you fry in the heat inside the restaurant. The Kazan work schedule is not correct, in the morning it was written through the cards that it works, as a result, they say we will open in an hour. They came in 5 hours, some say they are working, others say they are not. It's a complete mess. In short, the service is 1.

Having traveled all over Uzbekistan, we were not pleasantly surprised to visit this place.
Mediocre service and ordinary food.. it is the usual one. No emotions after visiting so many places in this country.
The pilaf turned out to be the worst of what we tried. Perhaps we have tasted very tasty everywhere.

A pleasant place. We drank beer with samsa. There are a lot of people in the evening, both locals and tourists. The waiters of the boys are smartly and politely rushing around. We were sitting on the last table under the pyamyatnik to the boy-flutist. It's funny, like on a pedestal above everyone. The food is delicious

Nice cafe in the old town.
Delicious, beautiful.
The only drawback is that we waited a long time for the menu, with 15% service it is very strange.

Расположено в очень красивом месте. Когда включают вечернюю подсветку вокруг, в кафе всё столики заняты. Вкусно. Цены высоковаты для Узбекистана. Но в старом городе Хивы в принципе мало мест, где можно поесть, то есть маленькая конкуренция, отсюда и цены

Very tasty food, different from Samarkand and Bukhara, pilaf, samsa, manti are cooked with a certain oriental flavor!!!!

A normal cafe for the Old Town, but not super. You can go in, but you don't need to make an idea about the national cuisine in this place.

Возле минарета Ислам Ходжа (41.376585, 60.360110)со скульптурной группой "Мальчики, играющие на музыкальных инструментах" есть кафе Zarafshon. Лучшее кафе из тех, что посетили в Ташкене, Самарканде, Бухаре и Хиве. Рекомендую. Очень вкусно, цены радуют. Интерьер в восточном стиле на 10 баллов.
Салат Цезарь - 10+. Всё вкусно, всё свежее. Персонал на высоте. Рекомендую.

Пожалуй, лучший ресторан в старом городе. Первый раз пришли сюда по рекомендации хозяйки гостиницы. Понравилось, но решили и по другим кафе походить. В итоге все равно вернулись сюда. Очень приятный интерьер. Понравились манты, ассорти различных бараков - в смысле вареников)). Плов был неплох, но на наш вкус хивинская кухня практически лишена специй, так что на бис не брали. Претензия к чебурекам - слишком тонкий слой мяса. А, любителям баклажанов очень рекомендуем попробовать их здесь!

A good place, sharpened only for tourists, hence the design and presentation and the interior are all good, but unfortunately the staff is probably mistaken from overload.The order was accepted, but they messed up a lot of things, the benefit of the claim was changed immediately.Quite expensive, the food is delicious but not the most, in general very good.

We stopped for lunch. They asked if it was possible or not. They said yes, but they didn't bring the menu. We waited, took it ourselves, chose the dishes, no one came to take our order, although the waiters were scurrying around. In short, we had a delicious lunch at a nearby restaurant.

A very good menu, albeit a small one.
Delicious Shivit oshi, eggplant rolls and gumma.
The kebab is extremely mediocre and small, an underdone chicken kebab was served. A vegetable kebab is 2 pieces of eggplant and tomato for 20k :(

Отличный ресторан! Персонал вежлив и заботлив, приятная атмосфера, время ожидания не превышало 5-8 минут (ресторан был рядом с моим отелем, ела там несколько раз в разное время), все очень вкусно! Есть одна особенность, вино можно спросить у официанта, в меню не указано.

Ужинала два раза. Отличное обслуживание, приятный официант. Все было достаточно бодро. К еле тоже претензий нет. Да дороговато, но это самый центр и качество еды хорошее. На вечер лучше делать бронь.
