One of the best establishments in Samarkand!
An infinitely wonderful combination of tradition and modern style in the interior! Divine pilaf!! The staff was good-natured and helpful, they ordered a large portion of pilaf and various salads, the locals eat with a spoon from shared plates, I asked for separate plates for each, they brought it without any problems. But there may not be enough pilaf for everyone)) make it to the restaurant before 13:00. The first time we arrived at 13:30 and we didn't have enough, we went the next day by 11:30 - we had enough)) After 12:00 there is a large flow of locals, the pilaf ends quickly..
We were here by a company on the recommendation of the locals. The room is gorgeous - it's very beautifully decorated, the tables are beautifully set in the restaurant, fresh salads, we ordered 4 servings of pilaf - the pilaf is very tasty, but there were a few overshadowing our visit to this institution, but... in one of the portions of pilaf, instead of meat, they put a solid piece of fat, in another portion of pilaf there was a stone 🪨 Stone ok, this happens in rice it turns out there's a human factor here - they didn't see it, but why a piece of fat in pilaf instead of meat?! Thanks to everyone - my teeth are intact
We really liked it. It's a real pilaf center, it's fashionable to say. The pilaf is delicious) That's the most important thing. There really wasn't much chickpeas in it, I love it, but otherwise everything is fine! I haven't seen the menu, just come, a man comes up to you with a cart and salads, collect everything you want and ask for pilaf. Then you will find out the price) but in general it is normal. We had a huge portion of pilaf, I think for 2x76 thousand soums. Salads of 10 thousand. Maintenance is added on top.
Pros: Very cozy, beautiful, clean place. Pilaf is prepared twice a day for lunch and dinner. The staff and staff are friendly and speak several languages. The price of pilaf is lower than other establishments. There's a lot of pilaf in one serving!
Cons: There is a lot of animal fat than the meat in the pilaf, the zigir oil is slightly more, the rice is not fully ripe.
OSHQAND is a Samarkand restaurant specializing in authentic Uzbek pilaf. Here you can try several types of pilaf, including the traditional one with beef, raisins and chickpeas. The atmosphere is cozy, the service is high, and the prices are affordable. A great place to explore Samarkand cuisine! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
It's the tastiest pilaf I've ever tasted! I wanted Samarkand, but they don't cook everywhere in the city in the evening, usually at lunch.
A pleasant and friendly atmosphere, even led to the kitchen and the chef briefly talked about the production technology. In general, I recommend it!
When we were in Samarkand, we ate pilaf here. The menu includes only pilaf, tortillas, salads, tea and cola. Very tasty! I just want to lick the plate. The prices are affordable. The cafe is clean, comfortable chairs (not a canteen). And the main advantage is that you can eat pilaf at any time, not just before lunch. We arrived at 6:30 p.m. and brought out the freshest pilaf. I highly recommend it.
Yesterday we visited Samarkand, tasted this impeccable, very tasty pilaf "zigir". I RECOMMEND it to everyone, you will not regret it!!! The price is much cheaper than in Tashkent, the place is clean, beautiful, the service is excellent, the manager of the hall controls everything, he also has a separate Respect. God willing, we will come again and again. Ishilarga omad, bizlar mingdan ming rozimiz!!!
A wonderful place, very colorful, delicious pilaf is cooked beyond praise, and oriental sweets are 11 out of 10. I recommend you to visit, but remember at 14 o'clock there is only a little left with everything)
I definitely recommend it. We've had it several times, excellent pilaf, and the company brings it in a large plate with pieces of meat that you chop yourself (or you can ask the waiter). A cart with pickles and salads is brought to the pilaf, you pick it up yourself according to taste and volume. The visitors are mostly local, there are practically no women. The host is very friendly and cheerful. Fresh pilaf is prepared for the opening at 11:00 and for dinner at 18:00, but we came for the first time around 14:30 - there was pilaf. There is baklava for dessert. There is no alcohol.
The prices are for five people with pilaf, additives, tea, baklava 300-350 thousand soums.
Very tasty pilaf I have tried pilaf in many places, it is good and delicious here, they work quickly and carefully so that it is so until the end, but there is a question whether the meat on top of the pilaf is measured on scales or without, it just seems to me that meat is much more than rice.
It's a wonderful pilaf place, if you want something else, you can't go here, the service is good, the interior and atmosphere are wonderful, there are interesting and delicious Uzbek snacks and stews for pilaf.
We tried pilaf for 5 days in places that local people recommended to us.
And this place, in our mutual opinion, is the best. The pilaf is very tasty, but the salads are just like the others.
The atmosphere is pleasant and very comfortable, but this is not the case everywhere in Samarkand.
An institution for tourists. Very beautiful. And not expensive. Pilaf is not bad either. The service is at a high level. A variety of salads. A small minus is far from the center.
It is a very popular place among both locals and tourists, a very large flow of customers, it is difficult to find a free place, the food is delicious, the service is good
It's a wonderful place. Sooooo delicious pilaf. The locals recommended this place. There are a lot of people, but they will definitely find a place for you. Pleasant atmosphere, friendly staff. Very large portions. Feel free to take less, we couldn't finish eating. For three people with salads, kampot, ayran and cola, 150,000 soums came out.
A wonderful place! Very tasty pilaf, fast service, beautiful interior, as I understand it, you can come at any time: pilaf is cooked four times a day (at 11:00, 14:00, 18:30 and 23:00). You do not need to book a table in advance. I want to return to Samarkand for the sake of such a pilaf 😋 The only disadvantage is that the women's toilet was under repair, they sent it to the men's, there are just holes in the floor of a small diameter 🙈
Pilaf and snacks are served strictly. There is no alcohol. The pilaf is delicious, but we were given an extra portion of meat, and there was too much of it. Pilaf without cumin and barberry. 6-7 snacks and a large portion for three cost 1,900 rubles (242550 soums). The place is not a tourist destination, the visitors are mostly local.
A good place, you can safely recommend it to tourists. New furniture, very clean, try hard, inexpensive. What is important is that there are a lot of local visitors, and they are the ones who are raging. For my taste, the pilaf is not a "dump of the head", but very decent, 4 out of 5.
Let's just say that until you have tasted Samarkand pilaf, you will assume that what you used to eat called "pilaf" is pilaf. But once you try the real pilaf served in this cafe, you are unlikely to want to eat "pilaf" in other places anymore. Life will be divided into "before" and "after".
I recommend. Our guide brought us here. Lots of local families are eating.
The pilaf is delicious. There are a lot of pickles and salads. The prices are adequate
I recommend it! There were 2 times.
Very tasty pilaf, they bring a cart of salads to choose from, cucumber with white sauce is generally flying away.
I went into the kitchen and talked to the cook.
The place is amazing!
Beautiful interior, excellent service, interesting layout and delicious pilaf!
The portions are healthy, it is possible that one will be enough for three people. One serving is 80 thousand.
Awesome cherry compote, try it for sure.
Undeservedly few reviews of this wonderful restaurant!
A great place where you can eat excellent, delicious Samarkand pilaf even in the evening. I have been living in Uzbekistan for 36 years, but the pilaf in this place was the most delicious of all that I ate. Thanks to the institution and the staff
I advise all non-locals and guests of our city to be shocked by this place myself and the service is good and the pilaf is wonderful and the desserts are delicious
A great place to eat pilaf in the evening!!! I would also like to mention the staff, attentive, non-annoying and at the same time caring)))the pilaf itself is very tasty, it seems to be full, but if you put a new portion next to it, you start eating again, you won't stop. The music is not loud, in the background, calm, that's what you need!!!!
The most delicious pilaf in Samarkand!!! Lots of meat, delicious salads, cold compotes👍 very fast service , full boarding , rating 10 out of 10 ⭐️ I recommend visiting this place 👍
Hooray!🎉We found a great place where you can eat atmospherically tasty and cheap, because everywhere they want to warm you up like a tourist with their own pilaf.
Many thanks to the staff! They worked like a close-knit family, it was very nice to see that they were all burning with their work!♥️🤗
Very fatty, lots of fatty meat, salads are additionally paid for. Half a portion of pilaf 40 thousand, lumps (actually it turned out to be sauerkraut) for all 75 thousand. One of the advantages is fast service
The food is very tasty, the national cuisine, the Wonderful Samarkand PILAF has not been tried anywhere, I recommend it, except for Uzbek cuisine there is nothing there, but it's worth it. Excellent service, friendly staff, Oriental atmosphere
After watching a program with Zhanna Badoeva about this restaurant, I also wanted to try Samarkand pilaf and take pictures of the situation. But, unfortunately, the battery in the smartphone ran out. He addressed the four waiters and the senior in the hall. Everyone just promised to help, but in the end they did nothing. As a result, I somehow managed to take a couple of photos, the mood is spoiled. Maybe that's why I'm not happy with pilaf.
Everything is great, thank you very much.
Especially the waiters are very polite people and the pilaf was very tasty. Thank you very much to the third-party "Oshqand"
5 out of 5, very tasty pilaf, friendly staff, clean cozy place with air conditioning, which is not a little important in this heat. I advise you to visit, you will not regret it.
We were in Samarkand on May 9... not only is it a holiday, but we also wanted pilaf in the evening.
And we got here! Divine pilaf, a great big portion, the meat is just super languid... and at an inexpensive price in general.
In general, I recommend it!
