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.

Homely atmosphere and food, fast and delicious. I was pleasantly surprised by the local riesling.
Nice interior, although there are no windows. They ate twice and would undoubtedly come again.

We visited the restaurant on October 14-15, 2024.
Great place!
The first time was in the evening. Since there were a lot of people, the waiting time for the order was slightly longer than usual. It's very tasty!! I liked the manti with meat very much.
On the second day we returned for pilaf. There is quite a normal portion for 1 person. Pilaf can be ordered at any time of the restaurant!
The atmosphere is very cozy, the staff is polite and attentive.
I recommend it!

We went to the restaurant twice, as we lived opposite in the hotel and saw good reviews on tripadvisor. The first time they turned us around right away, they said there were no places with a steamed view and the hope that we would not wait. But we came the second time, which we really regretted, we were also told that there were no seats, although half of the restaurant had empty tables and that we had to wait 20 minutes. The attitude towards the guests is not optimistic, the tired bartender, he is a hostess, he is a waiter. They didn't try the kitchen. Naturally, we will not go a third time and will not recommend it.

I didn't like it. The service is good. But for such a high price tag, I expected to eat delicious. And it was bad. I will note in advance that I am not a picky customer and calmly have lunch / dinner in eateries.
The kebab turned out to be dry. There were only two small pieces of meat dangling in the dimlam. Manta rays had a strange taste - this happens when a frozen product (dough or meat) lies in the refrigerator for a long time next to other products and begins to absorb their odors.
The only thing that turned out to be really tasty was lamb in foil. Here are five points.
I would not recommend this institution to others.

There was a peculiar smell on the first visit, it didn't stop us. And we didn't regret it. All the dishes we ordered were delicious, the atmosphere was pleasant, the fireplace complements the picture. A separate respect to the helpful waiter, whose age gives additional charm.

Pleasant atmosphere, service, not long to wait, beautiful and tasty, but a very small portion of meat (considering the amount of fat of pure meat is generally a drop)

We were here in February. The place is not very passable. For tourists. An empty restaurant. The menu is large and with little traffic it is difficult to have all the dishes in good quality. I think it will be much better here at the height of the season.

Главное достоинство этого заведения - обслуживание. Персонал очень вежливый, предупредительный. Душевные люди, по-настоящему приятно. В остальном, к сожалению, ничего особенно хорошего. Меню посредственное, блюда местные, качество не плохое, но без восторга. По напиткам - всё местное и всё, как следствие, не очень(

Маленький уютный семейный ресторанчик с традиционной кухней. Тихое, уютное место - как раз отдохнуть от дневной суеты вечером.
Меню очень удачно сделано - небольшое (на две сьраницы) но разнообразное (супы местные и европейские, разнообразие местных вторых блюд, салатов) . Все что пробовали - очень вкусно.

The food is normal, not wow. The manta rays were brought by the coveted ones. Prices are like in decent establishments in the city.
The cafe would like to make repairs and update the furniture, otherwise it's sad to watch..

Просто супер! Быстрое обслуживание, вкусная еда. Мест не было, однако управляющий быстро решил вопрос, гостеприимно. Достаточно популярное место. Интерьер достойный

Были с семьёй рядом с этим заведением, по отзывам решили зайти пообедать. В итоге все остались голодными. Еда ужасная. Шашлыки были только из курицы и говядины, мясо резиновое. Салаты видимо вчерашние. Оставили 200 тыс сум выпив чай и съев лепешку. Не рекомендую.

Может мне не повезло, но он не работал. В субботу примерно в час дня. Как бы самое обеденное время. Но как мне пояснили находящихся там молодые люди, что вряд ли его откроют

Очень уютное кафе. Дали продегустировать местные вина перед их заказом, еду принесли быстро! Было 2 января и почти все заведения были закрыты, но этот ресторан работал! Более того был в наличии плов и манты 🙏 лепешка конечно была холодной, но в целом - ребята молодцы! Накормили, напоили, объяснили, что кухня в праздники работает на 40% - у всех праздник!

Вкусно, хозяин очень внимательный и вежливый, но заказанные блюда ждали ооооочень долго

Говядина в фольге и манты — пробовал здесь эти блюда и сформулировал для себя представление о том, что вкуснее узбекских мантов я ещё никогда не ел.
June 17, 2022
Готовят вкусно, попался неопытный официант и слегка ошибся с заказом. На веранде довольно жарко. Возможно зашел бы еще раз.
