A real gastronomic delight!
This kebab shop is a real discovery for all connoisseurs of real taste! The shish kebab here is not just delicious — it is delicious. The meat is juicy, flavorful, with a perfectly balanced marinade and a crispy crust with smoke. The side dishes are fresh, the pita bread is hot and soft, the sauces are just fire! The atmosphere is warm, the staff is friendly, and the service is fast and fuss-free. I would like to recommend this place to my friends and come back again and again. A real paradise for gourmets!

A place where locals gather.
The cuisine was very good, we took quite a lot of different dishes, such as: manti, samsa, salad, tomato salad, 4 types of kebabs, corn kebab, everything was perfectly cooked! There are no complaints about the kitchen!
But there is always a fly in the ointment - and this is the service: at first they tried to put us down for 10 minutes, they led us around, they swore among themselves, because the tables on the veranda were occupied by restaurant employees who were doing something behind them, then eventually they put us inside, but no one approached us for 20 minutes to accept the order, at the end, when paying, I witnessed a showdown between the cashier, the bartender and the waiters :))) it's just that the maintenance staff doesn't care about you :))
But at the same time, this is a very good place, with good cuisine, pleasant prices and the lowest sleep for service - 10%!

A spacious and nice restaurant with pleasant prices. A large selection of kebabs and salads – there will definitely be something to taste. Please note that pilaf is only available on request for holidays and events, and alcoholic beverages are not served in the restaurant. I especially liked the beef and lamb kebab, as well as the fried eggplant salad – I recommend it!

After visiting the mosque and the market, we were looking for a place to eat, thanks for the feedback - they played a crucial role!
Everything is very tasty! Samsa and manta rays are great! You can eat it with your fingers!)))
We ordered for two: flatbread, Samarkand salad, cabbage soup, two mini samsa, a portion of mantas, lamb and beef kebab, assorted vegetables, new potatoes, tea, and urik (compote). 330t came out.C. with service. The feed is fast and everything is gradual, as needed!
I definitely recommend it!

Great place! Very tasty shish kebab. Beautiful presentation and high-quality service. The prices are more than acceptable for such quality. Large halls. We were on a day off at lunchtime - we found a comfortable table without any problems.
I recommend you to visit!

While walking after visiting the oldest market in Samarkand, we noticed this restaurant. It is located on a mountain, next to a very old Muslim cemetery! The cuisine and service are decent. The restaurant is very popular with locals. Big tables, big companies. The showcase with a variety of kebabs looks great, you can choose . And.. the restaurant does not serve alcohol!

We were in January, and we couldn't cook all the dishes on the menu. All the dishes that were ordered were a delight. Really, very tasty. Lamb shish kebab is the softest and juiciest I've ever tasted! The place is very atmospheric, the service is at the level of a well-positioned institution. I liked everything very much. I can safely recommend you to visit. Yaxshi ishtaha )

Very tasty meat dishes!! The staff is polite and friendly, most of them speak Russian. The room is huge, there are many seats, there is a huge terrace with a view. If you want to drink coffee, you won't be able to do it here. I highly recommend it, we visited this restaurant several times during our week in the city!

A good place for a quick lunch after a walking tour. The dishes were prepared promptly. It's simple, without frills. It is located in a very interesting place, on a mountain, where the ancient settlement of Afrasiab (ruins of ancient Samarkand) was previously located.

Delicious and beautiful! Perfectly conveys the atmosphere of Samarkand! Polite staff, unobtrusively asked if everything was okay, if they liked everything. And what a delicious tea, words cannot describe.

A cool market where you can buy nuts, sweets, ceramics, spices, fresh vegetables and fruits. Then there are clothes and industrial goods.
I recommend hot tortillas and freshly squeezed pomegranate juice.

The prices are much nicer than we ate in the center. In addition, everything is cooking faster. If you don't get arrogant with the amount, then you can pour it into plastic with your alcohol. The commission is also a massive 10 percent. In short, for two to have a hearty meal 250 t. sum

The service is great, the waiters come right up, and we waited 15-20 minutes for the order. The soups are great, the tortillas are fresh and hot, and we tried the cream — it's a cool thing, like sour cream and a little cottage cheese mixed in. But the lamb shish kebab is terrible, very tough and you can only taste the cumin.

We came here based on the reviews
They sat me down at a table, and they carried the menu for more than 20 minutes, until I got up, found a waiter, and asked for it. this is despite the fact that at most 5 tables were occupied in 2 halls and the veranda
, there were no napkins on the table, exactly 2 pieces were brought (according to the number of people at the table) and just put on the table
lamb kebab for three, chicken wings soaked in a huge amount of marinade, the taste of the bird is not felt
They waited 15 minutes for the bill, 10 minutes for the change.
The staff is in no hurry, they chat with each other, it doesn't matter to the visitors
I don't recommend
it, I would have given it 1 star, but then you wouldn't have published a review.

Among the advantages, a large hall, beautiful decoration. That's probably it.
Everything is disgusting in terms of service, the waiter who will serve you may just leave and they will forget about you, they may change him, but he may also disappear.
The food also leaves much to be desired, but there are also delicious dishes.
There is simply no bar menu with drinks, which is very strange for such a large establishment.
All tables are close, if you sit down unsuccessfully to the aisle, you will be constantly kicked.

The music in the restaurant was very loud, and the request to turn it down was answered, but the next song started playing just as loudly. My daughter ordered 2 French fries, the first one had a piece of plastic, and the second one had a grasshopper. We also ordered ayran, which tasted like white water. My friend's son got his food an hour later. The waiter who served us was not the most professional and did not record part of the orders, the same part was not delivered.
I would give -5 stars if I could.

The place is super, we were sitting on the cot outside, very cozy and colorful. There are no questions about food, nor about service. Everything is fast and delicious.
I liked the cafe so much that we only went to it in Samarkand :)

The service is very lame, ruined the whole impression
The four of us came, and we were seated, as it turned out later, under a chandelier with a pigeon's nest. As a result, the table, the chair and the dolma that had just been brought in were shelled from the air.
At the same time, the staff initially refused to change the spoiled dish for us, arguing that the uncleaned pigeon nest in the restaurant was not their fault, because it was a street.
Considering the threads in the tortilla and the vinegar-flavored meat, I can't put more than one star.

I was in Samarkand with a friend on vacation.
The choice fell on this particular restaurant.
The amazing thing is that there is no pilaf! Tea bag, instant coffee. The food we ordered is quite edible.
There is a beautiful view of the Bibi Khanim Mosque on the trestle terrace.

When visiting this place, they offered to sit on a cot. Food was brought to us, but pigeons were sitting above us, and they started shitting. As a result, the pigeons got into the dolma. When asked to replace the dish, they said that you were sitting outside, so the restaurant was not responsible. Only when the police were mentioned did they agree to replace. However, it is still not known how much they actually replaced it. I do not recommend anyone to visit this institution.

It's a very nice, cozy place. Good serving of dishes. The French fries were delicious, but the lamb shish kebab and liver shish kebab seemed a little dry.

It's a surprisingly unfriendly place. Half of the dishes from the menu were missing, which was revealed after ordering. They brought the wrong salad and proved that it was the right one. The cutlets and potatoes were carried to the child for 1 hour, they were brought when everyone had already eaten, including the child. In addition, the music was blaring so much that it was basically difficult to sit indoors.
Well, the toilets are very scary for this level of establishment.

If there's a better place in Samarkand, we haven't reached it.
If you find fault, you can blame a fairly simple toilet and some distance from the old town, the rest for 5.
The food was excellent: salads / kebabs / lemonades were very tasty. There wasn't anything like wow in the other eateries.
The service is attentive and fast (but we were in winter, there weren't many people).
The interiors are decent, you can sit with taste, not at an oilcloth table, at the same prices as in this restaurant.
There is a paradox with prices in Uzbekistan, wherever you go, it's about the same everywhere. Pilaf - 40k soums, shish kebab - 20-30 per stick.
The single-digit top five

The food is delicious. The cuisine is mixed (European and Uzbek). Baklava is wonderful, the most delicious I've ever tasted. The service is wonderful, everything was explained and prompted. There are two halls: the first, at the entrance, is more calm, music is playing in the second (apparently, a show program). We were in January, the room is warm and cozy, unlike the two places where we were the day before, it's cool there in jackets.

A wonderful restaurant! One of the best in the old city of Samarkand. If you sit on the veranda, you will have a view of the Bibi Khanum Mosque, towering over the modern city, and the city market. The view is unique. The restaurant itself is located on the territory of the ancient city of Afrasiab, which was here before Alexander the Great founded Marakanda (the original Samarkand). All this creates a special atmosphere.
The restaurant has cozy beds, beautiful carved columns and beautiful views. The food is good, although there is not everything on the menu. They cook well, but it also happens to be tastier (for example, in a Plane tree). However, the prices here are not high at all — you can eat well for 100-150 sums ($ 7-10).
In addition, there are several historical sites within walking distance from this place: Afrosiab, Holy Khizr, Shah Izinda, the market and Bibi Khanum.
In general, I fell in love with this place, and I hope you will like it too.

We were in this restaurant an hour ago. The service is terrible. There are no knives, salt, or napkins on the table, but the most unpleasant thing is that all the dishes were brought slightly warm. Do you like cold shish kebab? If not, then you're not here.

We came here after reading the reviews. I'm sorry, but I can't give you more than three: dirty and stained tablecloths that were replaced only after the request, sleepy flies, waiters who need to be caught, mutton overcooked with veins. Never set foot in here again. If it wasn't for dessert, it would have been really depressing.

Firstly, the service is terrible.
The staff absolutely does not know in what order to give the dishes.
First, a slightly warm barbecue was brought, after 15 minutes and three reminders to the waiter, fresh vegetables were finally brought, which were ordered for the barbecue.
Absolute ignorance of what a stop list is.
Secondly, the quality of the barbecue, as well as the size, leave much to be desired.
Shish kebab along with small bones and veins that are not chewed. (In the photo)
Uzbek dumplings are just a boiled piece of dough in a puddle. (Also in the photo)
The tortilla is cold, not from normal dough, but from something crumbly.
But the interior is promising.
One of the worst establishments in Samarkand.
It will be tastier, cheaper and safer to eat at the market.

Recently we visited Afrosiyob cafe and tasted lagman, fruit tea and brain bones on coals. Lagman was pleasantly surprised by the rich taste with the perfect combination of spices, tender meat, with perfect noodles and fresh vegetables. The fruit tea was a great accompaniment, it was refreshing and slightly sweet thanks to the natural fruits. The marrow bones on the coals are simply delicious, with a delicate texture and smoky aroma. We recommend Afrosiyob to explore Uzbek cuisine!

There are no comments on the kitchen. But the service did not work right away:at first, the waiters waited a long time to place an order ("I thought you had already ordered"), and then, when it turned out that there was no ordered corn for the barbecue, I asked them to bring the menu to choose something in return. I managed to choose a new dish, my mother managed to finish her order, and the barbecue was already brought here... and the waiter (whom I asked at least 2 times to call through other staff) was still not there. It was only when I asked another passing waiter why pay the 10% included in the receipt for a service that was not there that my waiter appeared. And he told me that he had been away for so long because he was talking... with my mother, whom I haven't seen for a long time.
Of course, I understand that the guy is bored, family ties are sacred, but why should the client suffer because of this?
We ruined lunch, the mood and the first impression of the restaurants in Samarkand.

Inexpensive as everywhere in Samarkand, the waiters do not know who needs something - they ask, shish kebab, chicken fillet and thigh fillet are on the menu, they just ordered fillet, brought thigh fillet - they said that it was the same thing, the flatbread was not brought fresh, there are no drinks on the menu - everything is in words, but there is a lot - inconvenient. I ordered two tortillas, and they brought one. There are three of us, they brought one menu, I went and took it myself - there's a whole stack, they cook on ordinary coal, they light it with a fan behind the cafe
