**"An Unforgettable Experience!"**
I recently had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel like VIPs with their warm and welcoming service. Every detail was attended to with care, and the atmosphere was both relaxing and inviting.
The food was absolutely delicious—each dish was bursting with flavor and presented beautifully. You can tell that the chefs take pride in their work, as every bite felt like a celebration of taste and quality.
And the hookah? Simply outstanding! The flavors were rich, smooth, and crafted to perfection, making it the best hookah I’ve had in a long time. If you are looking for a spot to enjoy some time with friends, amazing food, and a fantastic hookah experience, this is the place to be. I will definitely be returning!
Faru the best!
Lady by the door is rude and has no idea how to talk to customers
Staff ok - food is average
Most importantly when payment comes Platan staff charges in USD dollars rather then uzb sums
Be careful
Highly recommended this place, amazing food, from their farm, excellent service, and the the interior is designed very well. A historical place with history.
European cuisine restaurant in Samarkand. The cuisine is good, the vegetables and greens in the salads are fresh and delicious. There is an interesting dessert on the menu, baked cherries with ice cream, I recommend you try it. Delicious.
The service is good, the waiters are trying hard, running around the guests.
In the evening there is live music, a kind uncle on the saxophone. There are a lot of tourists in the restaurant. The aftertaste remained pleasant. Thanks to the restaurant for a quality dinner in Samarkand!
A very good restaurant. The best among those where we were in Samarkand in 5 days. You can take any dish safely, everything will be very tasty. We tried to take lamb and local dishes. Lamb in a pot and in foil is just fire. The portions are large. The restaurant itself is located in the city center, we always came to it on foot, fortunately it is warm and cozy in Samarkand even in December 🙂
A beautiful place with unique architecture, with very tasty cuisine, choose any dish - you will like everything.
Good service, Timur told me everything, advised me, fast service.
We are waiting for dessert😁 chocolate sycamore was recommended
Very quiet, atmospheric
A modern, stylish and cozy restaurant with very tasty cuisine. Mostly European, but there are also local dishes.
The staff is wonderfully trained.
The atmosphere is very conducive to returning there again.
Large outdoor area with tables. Outside, there is a cool fog over all the tables, which is refreshing. The order was delivered quickly enough, despite the fact that there were 11 of us and everything was ordered unevenly.
Insanely delicious!!!
Every dish is amazing. We went through the reviews and did not lose. The restaurant fully meets each rating perfectly.
I especially liked manti and Sycamore salad.
I am ready to plan a trip to Samarkand in the future to once again taste the impeccable dishes from this divinely delicious institution!
The food is very tasty, we took several options of meat, soups, salads and everything was very decent! The atmosphere was pleasant, the music was soft and pleasant, the staff worked carefully and clearly. In general, I definitely recommend it.
I highly recommend a visit. Very cozy, delicious, friendly.
the location is a bit inconvenient, but it is compensated by everything that is indicated above.
The price tag may be slightly above average, but a good one shouldn't be worth it.
A wonderful restaurant, high-quality food, excellent service, everything is fast, intelligent, atmospheric. Thank you very much, to all the staff, to the owner for such an organization and recruitment of a separate respect. Thanks!!!!
Here is a great review of the restaurant:

I recently visited the Platan restaurant in Samarkand for dinner, and was very pleased! Despite the fact that I had not booked a table, the staff kindly found a cozy place for my family. We were very pleased with the service – the polite and attentive staff made our evening pleasant.
The food is top notch! I especially want to mention the salads – they are incomparable. The whole kitchen was incredibly delicious and of high quality. I definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to enjoy great food and service in Samarkand.

I hope this is the review you were looking for!
Being in Samarkand for the first time, we came to this restaurant by chance. And we were pleasantly surprised! Very interesting interior, friendly and professional waiters. Very tasty dishes and wonderful local draft beer. I would like to return to such a restaurant! We recommend it!!!!!
The restaurant, if compared with others, is good. We were served by a very polite young man. There was a very tasty warm tortilla, which we almost ate while waiting for the order. Borscht for four (but why order borscht in Samarkand? 🙄 ), manta rays are also for four ( although here one manta ray stands as in other places a portion ) . Special thanks to the male musician. Pleasant unobtrusive music on the piano and pipe . The room is comfortable and warm , we were sitting on sofas .
The restaurant looks pretentious and stylish. The menu consists mainly of European cuisine. The quality of the dishes is not bad. But. As they say in many reviews, the service is slow. If you come alone or together, be prepared that preference will be given to tables where there are more guests. This is logical, because it is more profitable for the waiters. Especially, the interest fades closer to the closing of the check: we had to ask three times to pay attention to us. They asked for boiling water in tea - they answered something in Uzbek, took the kettle away... we didn't see it anymore)
They asked for some of the food with them - they brought containers without a lid. This is the first time I've seen this.
The prices are average-above average, depending on the set of dishes.
Service fee 15%
Overall, a good restaurant, but overrated. Your visit experience will directly depend on how quickly and efficiently you will be served.
I liked everything very much. It is located in a cul-de-sac of a cozy and beautiful street. There is an outdoor and an indoor part. A large selection of dishes. I took a salad with buratto, manta rays, lemonade. All the dishes were delicious. My wife took dolma and crispy eggplant. I liked everything too.
This place is recommended by local hoteliers, there are reviews and recommendations of what to visit in Samarkand. But the place is disappointing. The lack of sincerity, a sense of hospitality - it simply does not exist. By the way, many people write about this in previous reviews. We also faced this. In Uzbekistan, you expect hospitality, and when you do not meet it in a place that everyone recommends, you are disappointed.
Interesting menu. Relatively tasty. I didn't like everything, but it's more like an amateur. (Although I didn't like which pieces were chosen for the loin, and how they were cooked). But the salads were delicious.
The price tag for Uzbekistan seemed expensive to me - a la Moskovsky +-.
They charge a service fee of 15% - it is written about this. But you will not get Service for your money:
- long wait
- the guys will not tell you what to choose, they will not be interested. In short, waiters need to be TRAINED! especially in such an institution. Toilet 🙈🙈🙈 put a normal toilet bowl already and make repairs there.
Whether you like it or not, you can be called the face of Samarkand. And by working like you, you are defaming the name of your city.
Dachshund, in the evening, on the outdoor area, racks with fire create a unique atmosphere, it is difficult to find fault with the kitchen)) but you don't need to, everything is delicious. I will not say that the portions are impressive, but in my own opinion) I recommend you to visit
In my opinion, the best place in Samarkand, at least of the visited ones. All the dishes are amazingly delicious, we came here several times to try something else. Always fresh desserts, live music, pleasant interior and excellent service. Tuna, borax and mutton are admirable.
Everything was fine, the staff was very good, the waiters were very kind and caring, they came up every 5 minutes and asked if everything was okay with us, the dishes were very tasty, and the atmosphere was very beautiful, I advise everyone
We were at the restaurant on 04/25/2024. The entourage and atmosphere of the restaurant are pleasing, quite authentic. As for the menu, it's unexpected to see such a small range of national dishes in a restaurant of this level, well, okay. A bad review is not because of the price, which is well overstated and not in the quality of the dishes. The biggest claim to the service. Not only is the price tag expensive, but the bill necessarily includes a service fee of 15%.
What's wrong with the service:
The white tablecloth was stained with unarmed eyes, but the staff did not even think to correct the situation.
Next, we ordered two soups and two hot dishes and from the beginning I took out one guest's hot dish, and the soup had to wait. I think for a 15% tip, the service should be of higher quality
Super restaurant in Samarkand. The menu is very varied and all the dishes are delicious, super fresh. Buratta is no worse than in an Italian restaurant.
Be sure to try the cheesecake.
Probably one of the best restaurants in Samarkand. The kitchen is excellent, I especially liked the salad with crispy eggplant, it was served quite quickly when fully planted. The staff is friendly and helpful. My wife had a birthday, they congratulated her with music, dessert as a gift, then the musician also played a song for his wife personally. In general, this is a great place, I recommend it to everyone who will be in Samarkand
Delicious food, varied cuisine, helpful and courteous staff. In general, I got a good impression of the service, the atmosphere in the community and the delicious food. I recommend.
A very good restaurant. We were with the family on the recommendation of a local resident - our friend. Helpful staff, high-quality and very tasty cuisine. Live music in the evening.
The kitchen was very tasty, the dishes were excellent, the service was on the level, the atmosphere was cozy, we were sitting there with some friends, such a beautiful girl came there, it's a pity that she was 16 years old, although she looks 22
This is a decent restaurant, considered one of the best in the city, accepts status guests. Most of all I like the hall in the form of a library, it is very beautiful and cozy there. The buffet service is good, the restaurant itself is sometimes lame: boys rarely appear in the hall.
Fish dishes are a weak position in Samarkand and this restaurant is an exception. We ordered lobio, we expected something interesting, but this dish needs to be refined, it looks like canned beans in a cup, it tastes just as bland.
It's time to develop a vegetarian or fitness card, even though you are a meat country.
Desserts and coffee are decent. Prices are high, as in Moscow. I was struck by tasteless tomatoes, we can find tomatoes much better, it was a surprise to me.
In general, the guys are trying very hard and are very polite. I recommend.
Excellent restaurant with delicious cuisine, normal waiters. I liked everything I ate in this restaurant. It was delicious. Chef profess
ional! The menu takes into account the variants of tastes and delicious and close to European cuisine. For example, small dumplings are almost like at home. To all employees of the restaurant big RAHMAT!
As for me, this is the best or one of the best restaurants in the city. Even, perhaps, he can compete for the title of the best in Uzbekistan.
In Samarkand, I lived at the Platan Hotel, in the morning I went to this restaurant for breakfast. Breakfast in the restaurant is also decent, you can always pick up something to taste. They bring np very quickly, but I think because they cook what you order.
I recommend it!
Good luck to everyone!
Of those restaurants in Samarkand that we visited in Samarkand, this one claims to be the best.
Very good cuisine, with reasonable prices
Nice interior
A fairly large area, tables are not side by side - optimal for a decent (in size) company
Mixed feelings:
- dishes of mainly European cuisine,
- the food is delicious, but expensive,
- there are no identical glasses for beer,
- there is live music, but the musician does not get into the notes.
There is a premium application, but it falls short.
Perhaps the best restaurant in Samarkand!
The service, services, and dishes are always excellent. I have been familiar with the restaurant for more than 10 years and I visit it for dinner every time I visit Samarkand. I recommend it!
We were pleasantly impressed by the competent waiters and the awesome cuisine (we took golden chicken, salad and tortillas).
We got here by accident after we were disappointed in the service at another popular place.
We didn't regret a bit!
Thanks!
It's generally fine. The building itself is very beautiful, we were sitting in the library hall. I took Dorado (delicious), spring salad (medium), some kind of fried local tube with cheese (delicious). The spouse took mastava (medium), samsa (not very), meat (medium)
We were in Samarkand for 2 days, naturally, according to the reviews, we decided to visit this institution. The first time we came on Thursday without reservation at 17.30, there were places on the street, and two tables were free inside, we sat inside. We were served by a wonderful waiter Timur, who told us about all the dishes that interested us, told us about the wines. The portions were quite large, the husband, even after the salad with crispy eggplant, barely finished his bon steak from the oven. Everything is so delicious that it cannot be expressed in words, it must be tried. For two (arugula salad with tuna, eggplant salad, bon steak, cauldron kabob, wine, tea) the check came out at $ 35, if compared with Minsk (Belarus), then they would have given $ 50 for such a dinner. I would also like to mention the fast and friendly service. The next day we went there for dinner, too, but unfortunately there were no places, and out of childish naivety we decided that like yesterday we would be lucky, but... I had to go to another place.
A great restaurant, everything that was ordered is very, very tasty, the portions are large, it didn't come to dessert.) The table was booked for the evening, because there may not always be places. Service for 5+, plates were changed, wine was poured without our requests. Probably the best waiter job of all the places we've been. You can pay in any currency. Minus only one assortment of wines. There was no dry sparkling wine, only local wines, 2 types of dry red, although the wine list is decent, but there is nothing (( pricing corresponds to the quality and size of portions. I recommend you to visit, especially if you are tired of pilaf))
One of the few establishments that have passed the test of time, maintaining a certain level of quality. It is located in the city center. The menu is very good, everything is delicious. Polite staff. Prices are above the city average. But it's always like that and positioning.
