The interior and the smell of the restaurant reminded me of a village house. We were served by a waiter, whom we immediately dubbed "the cunning grandfather", very courteous. We ordered pilaf, manti, vegetable salad, Mashhurdu soup, khanum with meat. The order was waited for almost an hour!!! The soup was brought early, not salty at all, without any special taste. Manti and khanum are made from the same tasteless loose dough, the manti were boiled, they could not be taken with either a fork or a spoon, there was no broth in them at all, there was not enough meat. The pilaf was edible, but not salty either. We were apologized for our remark in the form of local cognac and mini chocolates.
When we were there, people, it seems, were returning some dishes. Most of the visitors are foreigners who do not know what Uzbek cuisine should be. It is a pity that they will have an impression of the dishes of this institution.

03/13.24 we visited Samarkand. After the tour, we decided to eat and go to Tashkent. We ordered: pilaf, manti with pumpkin, samsa with pumpkin, cauldron kebab , salads and wine.
I immediately warned the owners that I was a technologist in the food and meat industry and said that I would openly criticize the kitchen. But apparently the thirst for money is doing its job.
1) pilaf: heated in a microwave oven, the meat is rubber, the rice is soaked, the carrots are watery. The taste is so-so, you can't call it Samarkand pilaf
2) Manta rays: heated in a microwave oven. The dough is thin, the filling is delicate, the taste was killed by the microwave
3) samsa : thin puff pastry, delicate pumpkin filling, no taste . The microwave has done its job
4) kazan kebab: meat of a cow that has lived a long life of cattle, no potatoes
5) salads : vegetable portions are large, serving for 3
6) wine: dry white Samarkand wine. Test.
I wanted to express all this criticism to the owner's face, but after we ate, he slipped away somewhere, I guess I was ashamed in front of the guests from Moscow!
And hang a mirror in the toilet, you want to wash and tidy up from the road.
You have no right to wear the title of a restaurant with such a big name

The dishes are very tasty and incredibly large.
In the photo, meat with vegetables (I think this is a dish for two).
Pleasant and polite waiters.
