The best restaurant in the old town in my opinion. The most gorgeous interior and atmosphere. Live music. Very tasty food, a wide menu. Separately, it is worth noting the service, the cost for which I do not immediately include in the default invoice as in others. Therefore, you are happy to leave tips, because the guys really work for 5+. The only downside is that it is difficult to get in without booking a table in advance: without reservation either between lunch and dinner or after 21-30. There is also a waiting list that you can use by signing up and walking along the streets. The prices are above average, but it's worth it!

I really liked the restaurant! Beautiful interior, comfort and the flavor of the East. Perfect cleanliness. The music is selected exclusively. The menu is very diverse. Excellent selection of local dishes. Long serving and cooking. The waiter Nazar is the standard of oriental hospitality, attentive, elegant and unobtrusive. Thank you very much, a great impression of Bukhara and its hospitality. It's a pity to break up. Uzbekistan is my love!!!

It's January 2025, and we're in Bukhara for the New Year's weekend. This is the fourth time in Bukhara in the last 2 years, and this is the fourth time we have visited Joy. The music, the atmosphere, the color of the place, the authenticity inside the restaurant, the polite and fast service beckon. But unfortunately, the food, especially the national cuisine, is on the top three. Kaish is poured with beans from a jar in tomato sauce, and not cooked according to the correct recipe (everything should be stewed, fried - meat and vegetables); manti and khanum fillings are not bad, but the dough is overcooked, very thin, already served with holes; tried with different fillings bichak - very small, half-empty in the filling, sauces to everything is tasteless and banal to them and to the dishes; fried dumplings are very small, about the size of a fingernail, inside there is not minced meat, but overcooked fat. Okroshka: one time it was served rich, thick with boiled tongue, another time it was served with tasteless cucumber soup. The musicians are great, but sometimes the music is so loud that you can't hear the other person at the table. There is a polite staff at the entrance, escorted to the table. After each visit, there is an ambiguous impression, the atmosphere is yes, the cuisine is no.

A great place, very tasty food and service with local cuisine. For the first time, I can't single out any dish, everything we ordered was perfect and very tasty. We took a lamb kebab-the softest meat, delicious marinade, served with grilled vegetables and tomato sauce. The waiter advised us to try some of the snacks - chakka, which was also a very pleasant discovery for us in the world of new flavors, thick Ayran, like cottage cheese, only more airy and sour. Excellent dolma, khanum, very tasty meat and a variety of flavors. We also tried the local baklava, a lot of nuts, in my opinion, a lot of raisins and an air impregnation of some kind of white cream, a good combination, we have never tried this anywhere.

I really liked it! Delicious. Comfortably. The service is excellent. It was necessary to book in advance. We came to the "maybe we'll be lucky" Lucky. A very nice receptionist girl treated us to tea with oriental sweets while we were waiting for a table. The menu selection is large. The prices are reasonable. And what kind of music .... delight! Thank you very much for a wonderful evening!

It's just a masterpiece place!
First of all, the building is a former real loaf shed! The walls remember and breathe history!
Secondly, the kitchen is just a masterpiece! Everything is very tasty and beautifully served.
Thirdly, special thanks to our waiter Firuz, a man with a smile and a positive attitude made our evening even more interesting.
Fourth, these are incredible live cover versions. Such pleasant and painfully familiar melodies! I didn't want to leave!
I recommend sitting on a cot and enjoying a hookah at the end of the evening.

The best restaurant in the historical center of Bukhara. Prices are below average, very atmospheric, and most importantly delicious. The service is at a high level. The only difficulty is that it is practically impossible to make a reservation per day in the season.

I was surprised to read about the "inaccessibility" and "splendor" of this restaurant. We just came in from the street, having no idea about the popularity of the place.
Yes, there is a pleasant atmosphere and courteous service. But waiting for the dish for 30 minutes instead of the promised 7-15 minutes somehow spoiled the impression, and the dishes were not brought to everyone at the table at the same time, someone had already eaten everything, and someone was sitting hungry. Many dishes were not on the menu-they ran out. I had to choose from what I have.
The food itself is delicious, the portions are small, the prices are above average.

An authentic restaurant located within the walls of the caravanserai. Live oriental music starts playing around 20:00. Nicely.
My dishes were served on time, cooked deliciously and conscientiously. Thank you for your hospitality, golden Bukhara.

The best teahouse in Bukhara! Visited in early December 2024. Delicious, fast, authentic interior, beautiful lighting in the evenings, and a beautiful Christmas tree was decorated on the ground floor on December 1. Cards are accepted for payment. Very tasty meat and pastries are prepared, a tea set with a selection of unusual jams.

A very cool restaurant! Excellent cuisine and the only restaurant in Bukhara with good, even delicious service! This is when people do more than is required of them, more than you expect! We made our evening unforgettable. The four of us had a rest with friends, we left the restaurant under a pleasant impression! Thanks to the Art Director for the great service!

I can say that this is one of the best places that we visited during our entire trip to Uzbekistan. First of all, the service is excellent, the soul rejoices: everything is tactful, friendly and without unnecessary familiarity.
Secondly, the interior: attention to detail, table setting, the distance between the tables creates additional comfort)
Third, and most importantly: food! We tried lamb shish kebab - perfect meat and roasting, samsa with pumpkin - super, salads - super, and for dessert baklava, which surprised: with meringue and raisins! That's really the highlight of the place)
Bonus: the service is not included in the bill, but the service was such that it was easy to tip!
Keep it up, low bow 😌

A super restaurant in a historic 19th century building, a large menu with national cuisine. Professional and friendly staff, especially the waiter Jasur. There is a hookah, black burn and masthave from tobacco, which is very good for Bukhara. In most other establishments, you will be offered only adalja or sherbet with a light fortress. I advise you to book a place in advance!

The visit to the JOY restaurant was just great. Super customer-oriented. The receptionist girl booked us a table at a convenient time. The dishes were very tasty, the service was fast, the prices were wonderful. We were asked to take a picture of us from above, and the request was fulfilled with pleasure, so we got great photos and videos. At the end, the manager complimented us with a plate of fruit. In general, we had a great evening. I highly recommend this place. If we ever visit Bukhara again, we will definitely come back here 👍

Like all other center seats / a bunch of people are always all occupied, there are no seats and full boarding.
Therefore, we book exactly one day in advance. There are 3 floors, as I understand it, but since our cold time (10/15/24) we were on the third in a booth. There are a lot of waiters and therefore everything was brought quite quickly, it was a pity it was cold and there was no opportunity to enjoy the views and examine everything in detail. I would probably come back again.
The food is like everywhere else - delicious food, something is better than in other places, something is worse. Now, after 3 weeks, the little things are already forgotten.

We got here by accident, just went to the nearest restaurant to eat. But they were delighted with everything - from the hostesses, from the waiters and from the kitchen. Everything from the menu is available, the prices are slightly above average (but the service is included in the price), but with such a service, I would say that they are very fair. The interior is magnificent.

We got in on Monday evening and by a lucky chance we got into this institution, as if we felt that we would like it there. I was pleased that there are a lot of national dishes on the menu, we ordered pilaf (oshi Sofi in Bukhara) and manti with pumpkin — we were gastronomically delighted. Thank you for being in the old town, which is very convenient to stop by after a walk.

An excellent restaurant with an authentic atmosphere in the national style. It is located inside an ancient building. During the season, a small national ensemble plays in the evenings. A varied menu with dishes of national and European cuisine. They cook very tasty. Salads, kebabs, I really liked chebureks and bichaks, these are small vegetable chebureks. The restaurant is located in the old part of the city. I highly recommend it to everyone 👍😊😋

The atmosphere is great
But the service leaves much to be desired, I would not have returned because of it.
I tried to book a table through WhatsApp, they answered me, but when I came to the restaurant, it turned out there was no reservation and there was no table on the terrace as I wanted.
I planted it on the top tier.
I have restrictions on food and I carefully clarified the dishes when ordering. They confirmed that they would take into account my limitations. As a result, they didn't take it into account. Moreover, the order was delayed, the barbecue was brought with blood. They did not give up the dish. In the end, the manager came and listened to what was wrong and just silently left. I thought they'd probably send a compliment or adjust the bill. No, he just left without commenting on the situation in any way. I do not recommend the place

An atmospheric and cozy place, everything is very tasty, the service is also on the level - they will tell you how to choose a dish, you will not wait for a waiter with food for a long time either. I would also like to mention live music in the evening: modern motifs are played on national instruments, it sounds unusual and beautiful)

We were there recently. The atmosphere is certainly great, especially for tourists.
Positive:
- Convenient location, right in the old town;
- Historical view;
- Meeting at the gate
Minuses:
- If you get there during the tourist season, there is almost no place without a reservation
- Prices are expensive (since this place is only for tourists, if you go for lunch yourself, be prepared for a large amount)

The best restaurant in the historical center of Bukhara! Places need to be booked 1-2 days in advance. We came for luck without a reservation and we were lucky - the guests did not come by reservation. While waiting for the table, the hostess girls treated us to delicious tea with kozinaks. It was very sweet!
The food is very tasty, the serving is beautiful, the serving is fast, the service is impeccable.
Live music is playing - a very atmospheric place. We had a nice evening. I recommend you to visit!

I think this is the best restaurant in Bukhara. Very atmospheric and friendly. The waiters do not leave the tables, they keep order on the tables, the service is reasonable in time. The quality of the dishes is very high. We had lunch several times and did not regret it a few times. In the evenings, the load is high, so I recommend booking in advance.

Despite the full landing, we were quickly found a table. The service is fast enough. The food and wine list are excellent. They asked to try the wines for the kebabs - they couldn't stop at one. Everyone is amazing. The kebabs are tender, without extraneous flavors.
The building is an ancient caravanserai, which retains an amazing atmosphere. The price tag, of course, is not for every day, but you can arrange a holiday for yourself at least once on vacation.

They tried to get into the restaurant three times. Everything is packed, even in the low season (January 2025).
The food was very tasteless. It's normal for friends. Either it was bad luck with the choice, or the dish itself, or.... but in general, there is no question of any authenticity or gastronomy.
The menu is "everything in a row", there are not enough rolls)
The prices for the dishes are reasonable.
The staff is friendly and very helpful. The service is good.
They smoke in the restaurant itself. For Russians, of course, this is already wild. It turns out to be very unpleasant...))
There was live music. Music is not for aesthetes. They played pop music on the violin.
The interior is interesting, but artificial. Overall, it's not very comfortable.

We found this place by chance when we were walking around old Bukhara. There were no seats, but we were told that seats should be available after 9 p.m., we left our phone number. We got a call, as promised. In the kitchen, everything is very tasty! Everything we ordered was incredibly delicious! Live music is great! The waiter is attentive. The orders were being prepared so quickly. The place is gorgeous! We highly recommend you to visit!!!

Excellent atmosphere of old Bukhara (the cafe is located in an old Bukhara house).
The cuisine is excellent, there are both traditional Bukhara dishes and European ones. The prices are average, in such an institution you expect it to be more expensive. There is alcohol, both locally and alcoholic beverages in the assortment are well known to the whole world.
The service in the restaurant can be safely placed in the TOP 5 in Bukhara.
Live music.
