It's been an absolute pleasure to dine in Afsona. The place is, first of all, visually appealing with its interior successfully blending traditional Uzbek attributes with contemporary minimalistic design, complimented with dimmed warm lighting. The staff is welcoming and helpful. I would also point out that the waiters were quite professional, which as we later noticed, was not that common in Tashkent. The menu offers a wide variety of traditional Uzbek dishes. We did not have to wait long for our food to arrive. It was made of fresh and delicious veggies as well as meat. I would recommend Tavuk Say which kinda reminded me of classic Georgian chakhakhbili - it was fantastic. Cheburek and Samsa were also nice, so were the crispy eggplant salad and plov. I was surprised to see the bar menu so large and diverse, it had both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. We got ourselves buckthorn tea and an NA Pina Colada - both were good. I would def recommend visiting if you want to try traditional high quality Uzbek cuisine for quite a reasonable price 🤜🏻🤛🏻

I went to get a takeaway while waiting for it i saw a man receiving the takeaway in a official restaurant cover with the name logo and everything but when it was my turn for takeaway she gave it in a plain white cover which wasn't even new one by looking we can make out it wasn't crisp its a old cover why was I treated like that why two different persons for takeaway get two different covers is it because im indian and not a local person felt very uncomfortable and racist here

Does not like much. The restaurant doesn’t deserve extraordinary rating compared to the available space, food and service. Much better restaurants with good sitting space and foods are available at Tashkent

The restaurant immediately immerses you in the atmosphere of Uzbekistan, the interior and music envelop you like a warm blanket. You will be immediately greeted by a hospitable receptionist and escorted to the hall, the waiters are very sensitive and attentive. We ate pilaf and green salads, everything was very tasty and juicy, especially the pilaf with lamb was to my taste. The taste of cheburek is a bit controversial, the spices in the meat are specific.

Great place! A warm welcome. Clear service. A cozy room with an interesting interior and a variety of tables. The bathrooms are clean and beautifully decorated. Quick serving of dishes in excellent dishes. Very tasty Festive pilaf. Pilaf with mutton is slightly salty, but we hardly put salt in the dishes. Delicious baked eggplant slices. Excellent lemonade and delicious sea buckthorn tea. It is located on an interesting street with lots of restaurants. The metro is nearby.

We chose this place based on reviews and have never regretted it. Everything we tried turned out to be very tasty. We ordered chicken kebab, chicken and mushroom stews, tomato salad, festive pilaf, soups, hot tortillas. They cook quickly. There is an indoor lounge and a glazed veranda. We visited 2 times around 4 p.m., there were free tables, but they reserve quite a lot for the evening, so if you plan to visit around 7 p.m., it's better to book a table in advance.

Great place! If you plan to have dinner here, it is better to book a table in advance, as there are a lot of visitors in the evening, and many tables have already been reserved. I would also like to mention the excellent business lunches. It would be great if they were made available on Saturdays as well, and not just from Monday to Friday. I really liked the soups and kebabs - everything was incredibly delicious. And in general, the cuisine here is excellent, especially the fresh and fragrant tortillas. I definitely recommend it!

I wanted to eat manti today. As the classic said, it was getting dark. I explored many different places and decided to take a walk with my wife to Afsona. Unfortunately, there were no empty seats (a good sign!) . But manager Dahler kindly wrote down my phone number and called as soon as the table was available. What is it... To say that it was perfectly delicious is to swallow your tongue.. Achichuk made from fragrant tomatoes. Warming tea Tashkent. And, of course, manta rays. This is not my first time in Tashkent, we lived here for several months, and traveled around Uzbekistan.. And these are the best manta rays. Dough, filling, serving. I give a standing ovation to the cook!!! The interior is cozy. Despite the full landing, it was quiet. The prices are pleasant, and if they seem a bit high TO someone BEFORE visiting, do not hesitate, you will get a gastronomic pleasure. And don't forget the sweet baklava for dessert!

After the visit, I left them a positive review and came back a couple of days later. They figured out it was me and complimented me. I was very surprised! And the compliment was delicious!

I don't like to leave a bad review, but I think it's necessary. I visited the restaurant with my colleagues during my lunch break and ordered a business lunch. There are no comments on the atmosphere of the place or the staff. There is a remark about the business lunch itself. It is not indicated anywhere that the portions are small, a colleague ordered soup separately and his soup was 2 times larger than ours, I will keep silent about the amount of pilaf in the business lunch. The concept of a business lunch is not samples, but an affordable set. There is an aftertaste of deception. Either write that the portions are small, or raise the prices and serve normal portions. Of all the establishments, we chose you on this day- we made a mistake.

Afsona is a premium Uzbek cuisine restaurant. The dishes are very tasty, but the prices are noticeably higher than in many other Uzbek restaurants. To be honest, it's a bit expensive. Tourists often come here, I think the restaurant is more focused on them. There are no complaints about the quality of the dishes and the service of the waiters, I liked everything.

It's great both in the restaurant itself and for delivery. They took mashkhurda, mastava, chuchvara, flatbread with suzma! Everything is very very tasty! We also tried other dishes here, including pilaf, it's good here, not greasy, it will be ideal for a foreigner. Some classic items are missing from the menu, for example: olot somsa with meat and tandoor somsa. The soames that is on the menu is still inferior to the tandoor. I recommend everyone to visit, especially the branch on Shevchenko.

A great cozy oriental restaurant. Everything we have tasted is harmonious in taste, not greasy, and it feels like it is made from high-quality products. Our guest, a German chef who has been to Tashkent for several times, said that he had never tasted such delicious Uzbek dishes before. Fried eggplant salad is the best in town! Now it is our favorite restaurant, where you can always have a delicious meal and also introduce foreign guests to real Uzbek cuisine. Thanks to the chefs who cook so exquisitely!

The case when the reviews were not deceptive. For a dinner consisting of pilaf, salad, flatbread and a mug of beer, I gave 172,000, which is about $15 Locals say it's expensive, but the service is excellent, the food is delicious. A beautiful terrier. There were a lot of guests on a weekday, but they got in quickly. In April, you can already sit at a table outside. Please note that alcohol must be paid for only by card. This is the new legislation in Uzbekistan.

Nice, pleasant, modern restaurant. Fast and accurate serving. The only thing that let the kitchen down in one salad was the eggplant, which turned out not to be crispy as planned. Otherwise, no complaints.

Here you can eat national cuisine, in a lighter version, not as fat as it is cooked in the traditional style, it is very important for me, sometimes I am with a child, it is also possible to feed him. Plus, the locations are very convenient. In general, I can safely recommend

Naryn, mutton, manti, soups, baklava in Iranian style - everything is very tasty! National interior, beautiful dishes, excellent service! One of the disadvantages is +20% to the service receipt. It doesn't encourage you to add tips and blurs the ending.

I don't recommend it. The prices are high, but it's not delicious. I took samsa and cheburek. Cheburek is fat, minced meat with an incomprehensible red sauce inside. Samsa is not tasty, relative to other places. To spoil samsa is to try. The beer is sour

A sad attempt to make a non-standard restaurant with pretensions and appropriate prices. We were there before closing, and the staff was "very unobtrusive" (actively communicating with each other). The price tag is too high, the dishes taste below average. In the same quarter, there are significantly more interesting establishments in the same price category.
