The three of us were here at one o'clock in the afternoon, in September 2024. It is not easy to find a place, as it is located far from tourist places and deep from the road. I accidentally found it on Yandex maps, put a dot on it, called a taxi, the driver who drove us said that the place was in demand among the locals, and we would not regret it, also helped to find the entrance. Inside, everything is simple, like an ordinary dining room. One of the workers speaks Russian well, told us to sit down at a table, took the order. She quickly brought delicious green tea with lemon, a salad of fresh tomatoes and onions, and then the main dish - Khiva pilaf. If I had known about this place earlier, I would have dined here every day. It was very tasty, they paid 110.000 uzs for two salads, a pot of tea and a large plate of pilaf.
Our stay in Khiva was very interesting and pleasant, except for visiting this institution. The hostess of this establishment shamelessly charged double the price for lunch. Pilaf in this institution costs 35,000 soums per serving. Our three portions instead of 105,000 soums cost 210,000. We didn't argue anymore and paid. With a thought, let the Almighty judge.
The entrance is next to Cleopatra.
The same pilaf as in Samarkand, but less fatty. Pilaf, tea, salad 65k sums. Only locals eat. The portion is large. They open from 12:30. I came earlier, sat waiting, drank tea. A lot of locals come to the opening.
