We have heard a lot of good things about Samarkand pilaf. We wanted to try it. But unfortunately we were disappointed. It's a terrible place. The pilaf is not delicious. It made us sick. I found a hair in the pilaf too. The service is zero. Everything is needed, the waiter says to bring (napkins, glasses, etc.) On the street In 2024, but it is not possible to pay with a card. A tourist town as possible. They don't give you a receipt. In a word, I do not recommend this restaurant.
Finally, I tried Samarkand pilaf in Samarkand. Before that, I only ate it in Tashkent. It is good that in this institution you can also eat pilaf in the evening, since in most other places pilaf is prepared only for lunch
This place was recommended by the locals. Pilaf is a bomb, I've never eaten such a thing. There is no menu, they will tell you what to eat)
The waiter told me the menu)
For two people, they gave 600rubles for pilaf, tea, salad and a type of ayran.
70 percent of the local population.
They are cooked twice a day.
From 11-00 to 13-00 and from 18-00 to 20-00.
I'm not a fan of Samarkand pilaf. But, I really liked this place. The Sitor of the palov is being prepared. The place itself is cozy. A standard set of national salads. Very friendly hostess. The service is at a good level.
We have lunch here regularly, as this cafe/canteen is located nearby. Excellent delicious pilaf 5+++ and excellent cool compote plus chalop, will not leave pilaf lovers indifferent 🤗by the way, there is a very pleasant and courteous admin , on the ground floor the interior is quite interesting
The waiters don't understand a word of Russian, there is supposedly no menu. We were charged 130 thousand som for a plate of pilaf, compote and a saucer of salad. Expensive! In Bukhara, we paid 65 thousand rubles for the same thing. The rice in this place was hard, undercooked. I do not recommend the institution, so as not to be disappointed.
Delicious pilaf. The portions are HEROIC. An important fact is that they make pilaf (open the cauldron) several times during the day. I will definitely come back.
Meat and rice are "al dante", i.e. a little harsh, in general, as I understand it, it is specific to ALL Samarkand pilafs.
Polite staff, in general, the place is not bad, I advise you to visit.
We went 15 minutes before the opening, but it was dirty everywhere, a mess, horror, just excuse me, is there so much time after Iftar before suhar, is it not possible to hire another employee to clean up that you yourself were pleased on the tables the leftovers from pilaf salad drinks remained all night this is horror (I write during Ramadan) naturally came out but and we ordered at home, now we're going to see if I'm too lazy to write a review after I try
They cook a very tasty pilaf. Pilaf is served 2 times a day. Afternoon and evening. The queue of customers and the amount of food itself speaks about the taste.
I didn't like anything: we waited a long time, pilaf is one rice with carrots, meat is half as much as in Bukhara and Tashkent, and the price is almost 2 times higher.
The best pilaf, according to the locals. I can't disagree with them. One of the best I've tried. Fast service, friendly staff. Not a 5-star restaurant, but pilaf is Michelin-starred
Elusive-it closes already at lunch, because the whole pilaf is eaten in a few hours, but the delicious pilaf center. Behind the cauldron is the same scald as on the advertisement.
