The best restaurant in the old town in my opinion. The most gorgeous interior and atmosphere. Live music. Very tasty food, a wide menu. Separately, it is worth noting the service, the cost for which I do not immediately include in the default invoice as in others. Therefore, you are happy to leave tips, because the guys really work for 5+. The only downside is that it is difficult to get in without booking a table in advance: without reservation either between lunch and dinner or after 21-30. There is also a waiting list that you can use by signing up and walking along the streets. The prices are above average, but it's worth it!

I really liked the restaurant! Beautiful interior, comfort and the flavor of the East. Perfect cleanliness. The music is selected exclusively. The menu is very diverse. Excellent selection of local dishes. Long serving and cooking. The waiter Nazar is the standard of oriental hospitality, attentive, elegant and unobtrusive. Thank you very much, a great impression of Bukhara and its hospitality. It's a pity to break up. Uzbekistan is my love!!!

It's January 2025, and we're in Bukhara for the New Year's weekend. This is the fourth time in Bukhara in the last 2 years, and this is the fourth time we have visited Joy. The music, the atmosphere, the color of the place, the authenticity inside the restaurant, the polite and fast service beckon. But unfortunately, the food, especially the national cuisine, is on the top three. Kaish is poured with beans from a jar in tomato sauce, and not cooked according to the correct recipe (everything should be stewed, fried - meat and vegetables); manti and khanum fillings are not bad, but the dough is overcooked, very thin, already served with holes; tried with different fillings bichak - very small, half-empty in the filling, sauces to everything is tasteless and banal to them and to the dishes; fried dumplings are very small, about the size of a fingernail, inside there is not minced meat, but overcooked fat. Okroshka: one time it was served rich, thick with boiled tongue, another time it was served with tasteless cucumber soup. The musicians are great, but sometimes the music is so loud that you can't hear the other person at the table. There is a polite staff at the entrance, escorted to the table. After each visit, there is an ambiguous impression, the atmosphere is yes, the cuisine is no.

A great place, very tasty food and service with local cuisine. For the first time, I can't single out any dish, everything we ordered was perfect and very tasty. We took a lamb kebab-the softest meat, delicious marinade, served with grilled vegetables and tomato sauce. The waiter advised us to try some of the snacks - chakka, which was also a very pleasant discovery for us in the world of new flavors, thick Ayran, like cottage cheese, only more airy and sour. Excellent dolma, khanum, very tasty meat and a variety of flavors. We also tried the local baklava, a lot of nuts, in my opinion, a lot of raisins and an air impregnation of some kind of white cream, a good combination, we have never tried this anywhere.

A super restaurant in a historic 19th century building, a large menu with national cuisine. Professional and friendly staff, especially the waiter Jasur. There is a hookah, black burn and masthave from tobacco, which is very good for Bukhara. In most other establishments, you will be offered only adalja or sherbet with a light fortress. I advise you to book a place in advance!

The dishes were very tasty, the service was fast, the prices were wonderful. We were asked to take a picture of us from above, and the request was fulfilled with pleasure, so we got great photos and videos. At the end, the manager complimented us with a plate of fruit.

It's just a masterpiece place!
First of all, the building is a former real loaf shed! The walls remember and breathe history!
Secondly, the kitchen is just a masterpiece! Everything is very tasty and beautifully served.
Thirdly, special thanks to our waiter Firuz, a man with a smile and a positive attitude made our evening even more interesting.
Fourth, these are incredible live cover versions. Such pleasant and painfully familiar melodies! I didn't want to leave!
I recommend sitting on a cot and enjoying a hookah at the end of the evening.

I was surprised to read about the "inaccessibility" and "splendor" of this restaurant. We just came in from the street, having no idea about the popularity of the place.
Yes, there is a pleasant atmosphere and courteous service. But waiting for the dish for 30 minutes instead of the promised 7-15 minutes somehow spoiled the impression, and the dishes were not brought to everyone at the table at the same time, someone had already eaten everything, and someone was sitting hungry. Many dishes were not on the menu-they ran out. I had to choose from what I have.
The food itself is delicious, the portions are small, the prices are above average.

Secondly, the interior: attention to detail, table setting, the distance between the tables creates additional comfort)
Third, and most importantly: food! We tried lamb shish kebab - perfect meat and roasting, samsa with pumpkin - super, salads - super, and for dessert baklava, which surprised: with meringue and raisins! That's really the highlight of the place)
Bonus: the service is not included in the bill, but the service was such that it was easy to tip!

Like all other center seats / a bunch of people are always all occupied, there are no seats and full boarding.
Therefore, we book exactly one day in advance. There are 3 floors, as I understand it, but since our cold time (10/15/24) we were on the third in a booth. There are a lot of waiters and therefore everything was brought quite quickly, it was a pity it was cold and there was no opportunity to enjoy the views and examine everything in detail. I would probably come back again.
The food is like everywhere else - delicious food, something is better than in other places, something is worse. Now, after 3 weeks, the little things are already forgotten.

A varied menu with dishes of national and European cuisine. They cook very tasty. Salads, kebabs, I really liked chebureks and bichaks, these are small vegetable chebureks. The restaurant is located in the old part of the city. I highly recommend it to everyone 👍😊😋

I was pleased that there are a lot of national dishes on the menu, we ordered pilaf (oshi Sofi in Bukhara) and manti with pumpkin — we were gastronomically delighted. Thank you for being in the old town, which is very convenient to stop by after a walk.

The atmosphere is great
But the service leaves much to be desired, I would not have returned because of it.
I tried to book a table through WhatsApp, they answered me, but when I came to the restaurant, it turned out there was no reservation and there was no table on the terrace as I wanted.
I planted it on the top tier.
I have restrictions on food and I carefully clarified the dishes when ordering. They confirmed that they would take into account my limitations. As a result, they didn't take it into account. Moreover, the order was delayed, the barbecue was brought with blood. They did not give up the dish. In the end, the manager came and listened to what was wrong and just silently left. I thought they'd probably send a compliment or adjust the bill. No, he just left without commenting on the situation in any way. I do not recommend the place

Positive:
- Convenient location, right in the old town;
- Historical view;
- Meeting at the gate
Minuses:
- If you get there during the tourist season, there is almost no place without a reservation
- Prices are expensive (since this place is only for tourists, if you go for lunch yourself, be prepared for a large amount)

Despite the full landing, we were quickly found a table. The service is fast enough. The food and wine list are excellent. They asked to try the wines for the kebabs - they couldn't stop at one. Everyone is amazing. The kebabs are tender, without extraneous flavors.
The building is an ancient caravanserai, which retains an amazing atmosphere. The price tag, of course, is not for every day, but you can arrange a holiday for yourself at least once on vacation.

They tried to get into the restaurant three times. Everything is packed, even in the low season (January 2025).
The food was very tasteless. It's normal for friends. Either it was bad luck with the choice, or the dish itself, or.... but in general, there is no question of any authenticity or gastronomy.
The menu is "everything in a row", there are not enough rolls)
The prices for the dishes are reasonable.
The staff is friendly and very helpful. The service is good.
They smoke in the restaurant itself. For Russians, of course, this is already wild. It turns out to be very unpleasant...))
There was live music. Music is not for aesthetes. They played pop music on the violin.
The interior is interesting, but artificial. Overall, it's not very comfortable.
