It was the worst lüle kebab I have ever eaten in my life. It was as if I was eating Izmir meatballs. Oh Azerbaijan, where are you beautiful lüle kebabs? I wanted to order traditional pilaf with the lüle kebab, but the waiter brought me vegetable pilaf, this is not traditional pilaf! I objected after he brought it and he brought me the right order! Bad service, bad quality, long wait! I definitely do not recommend this place, the food is not sweet, the staff is not interested at all!

I recently visited this place, and unfortunately, the service was disappointing. Upon arrival, the staff did not acknowledge my presence or offer any greeting. I stood there waiting, feeling completely ignored. Even after approaching them twice to ask for assistance, they were unfriendly in their reply. This experience left me with a negative impression, and I hope the management will take steps to improve the attitude of their staff towards customers.

Staff were quick to get you seated but do need pre knowledge of reserving tables otherwise they will not allow you to sit in the nicer table sections by the square view or other higher
balcony on the right.
And by the time me and a friend found a table we liked, it was dirty and bread crumbs and not any time to clean at all over therefore choose an another table in the middle section.
This place was above average food prices to target a tourist budget and not cheap as indicated by the 45000 - 60000 sum budget and should have been 100000 - 200000 range for filling portions.
15% service charge should definitely been deducted all together because the their was very little service as they only came for ordering food after some 8-10mins and waited about 30-45mins for food to arrived and even asked when will food arrive as described as fast food delivery time.
The atmosphere was half full on a Thursday night at 9pm-10pm and can definitely hear people behind us were side commenting insults on us two are talking about the food quality and waiting times problems so not even a tourist trap friendly place and lack of understanding when staff once realised you not having good experience, they avoid you then actually help the situation.
The food for my friend for was sub-par for sesh kebab because they were 2 fatty pork pieces and quality pork pieces.
Soup ordered was tiny portions with the bread being described as ancient and very dry and did not even receive tissues for the meal.
My meal was extremely boney beef but average quality with a good amount grease and barely not enough parsley with the sauce being a tiny portion equally and definitely needed tissues and asked two times to get tissues.
The drinks orders had an expired taste it was a sour milky drink called Ayran and not even refrigerated temperature in any means.
Didn’t bother with beers as it was far too pricey.
The interior was good but look closely enough you see it has not been cared for well as far too busy running around clearly.
I do not recommend this place and not believe all the positive reviews at all.

The coolest restaurant in Bukhara!!! All the dishes are MEGA DELICIOUS, the portions are large and beautifully decorated! The most friendly and helpful waiters are Raino and Nurik, speak Russian and English well, give good recommendations and bring the order very quickly!
I recommend tomato salads (chuponcha, achi-chuk, haravac), lamb fire and be sure to order Vaguri, shoulder of lamb and grilled lamb, wine in a large assortment I recommend Merry Tash (9 months aged in French wine barrels).
The restaurant is a must-visit!!!

A very large cafe, with many outdoor tables, with a beautiful courtyard inside. There is a very large menu, everyone will definitely find something for themselves. They cook well. Some dishes are worse, some are better than in other similar places. Alcohol is more difficult. I drank unfiltered Sarbast beer, it is almost everywhere and always there, but with wine and champagne things are worse. Girlfriends drink only brut, and it was not always available (( good local Sarbast beer, and local champagne called Salute. The service is good, the dishes were brought quite quickly.

An excellent restaurant, visited it 4 times in 2 days, the menu is varied, the portions are large, the price is reasonable, the atmosphere is cool, the service is attentive and fast enough despite the large attendance. You can choose places on the summer terrace or balcony, as well as there are several cozy halls where different numbers of guests can be accommodated.
We ordered: manti tastier than we have ever eaten in my life, Kazan kebab, samsa Bodomi, "Chuchvara with broth" Homemade dumplings, Lula Kebab, Fried pike perch fillet, I really liked everything.
Thank you very much to the restaurant and the staff, we wish you continued prosperity

I really liked the place. Delicious and, last but not least, beautifully decorated dishes.
Fast delivery and the most friendly staff.
Different halls and beautiful antique decoration in oriental style. Very affordable prices, especially considering the location of the institution near the tourist center of the city

Great place, wonderful interior. For my taste, the best of all restaurants in Bukhara. The courtyard definitely adds to the charm. Judging by the photo, even Orban has been here)Excellent lamb kebab,delicious shurpa, efficient and efficient staff)If necessary, you can even exchange rubles for soums.

It's a great restaurant, everything is insanely delicious. The staff is nimble, smiling, responsive. It is popular with both locals and tourists, so it is better to book tables in advance. There is a beautiful panoramic view from the outdoor veranda.

Delicious food and an authentically decorated oriental-style restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised that the restaurant is open after 23:00. Definitely the place you want to return to, especially for the tender Vaguri meat

Bukhara is a wonderful city. I liked everything : the atmosphere , the cuisine , the people . It is a pity that we were in this city only for a day - very little. But there are a lot of impressions. When visiting Bukhara, you should definitely try samsa, it is special there! The ancient city is beautiful! We had a great time.

A good restaurant. The food is delicious. The prices are adequate for a tourist destination. Booking day-to-day is no problem. The location is very good.
We've been here twice. The first time everything was generally perfect, and the second time there was a feeling of some chaos. It seemed that the waiters had lost their feet and were already poorly controlling the situation with orders, requests and wishes of numerous guests.
But, in general, I recommend it.

A nice cozy place, you can sit both outdoors and indoors under air conditioning on a hot day. In the evening it is very atmospheric on the second floor from where you can see the streets and monuments that are illuminated. The kitchen is delicious, the staff is friendly. A decent restaurant.

If you want to get here, it's better to book a table right away. Tourists are brought in groups of 10-15 people.
An authentic restaurant in the center of Bukhara, with a pretty courtyard.
Clean, cozy, including in the bathroom.
A bright, clear menu.A huge selection of dishes.Beautiful dishes)
Large portions.the products are fresh.
Everything is very tasty😋
The waiters are polite,sociable, and very pleasant to talk to.
The feed is fast.
You can sit on the terrace on the second floor (but I suspect it's a little hot there during the day)
Or you can in the courtyard, cozy at home)
We chose a table in the courtyard.But I hope that next time we are in Bukhara, we will sit on the terrace 🥰
I definitely recommend you to visit🙌🏻♥️

The best restaurant in the center of Bukhara. The kitchen is an order of magnitude better than the neighboring establishments. Everything we tried was very tasty, but we tried the following: manti, vaguri, samsa, lamb on the grill and the highlight on the cake is baklava and ice cream (why is it served separately). Food is served quickly, even during rush hour, with almost full boarding. A solid five for the institution.

The food is very tasty, the prices are average — not cheap, but not expensive either. The service is pleasant, and 15% of the tip is already included in the bill, which is convenient
Of the disadvantages, there were no hookahs, and the veranda was closed, although they expected to spend time there. Overall, the place is good

If you are just a tourist, walking nearby and want to eat somewhere, then most likely they will not be able to accommodate you, even though the restaurant is half empty. The restaurant is designed for organized groups of tourists. The first time they refused to serve us, because everything was "booked". The second time we booked by phone and we were booked for 9 pm.
By 9 we sat down at the table, but it wasn't until 9:20 that the waiter came up to us. I wrote down the order, the food was brought, but not what was ordered. They brought a salad instead of eggplant rolls.
They tried to give a kebab to the next table instead of a kebab :)
We also ordered a Kazan kebab, but it was not brought after 55 minutes (but dessert was brought at the same time). We did not wait, we asked to be removed from the account, but it is not a fact that he was already preparing for this time) I think they forgot about him altogether. And no one warned that you need to wait for meat for so long.
In general, the impressions of the restaurant are bad. The food was three-course, the eggplant rolls turned out to be tasteless, with raw breading, the meat could not be tasted. The default service fee is 15%, but it's not worth it. There are few waiters, and the boarding is very tight, the order is carried for a long time. This place needs to improve its service.

A great place👍 When I visit Bukhara, I definitely go there. The food is very tasty, and the atmosphere is also very pleasant. The only remark, as it seemed to me, is that the staff clearly and openly filters between "Tourist" and "Not a tourist". Maybe it's the tip.(although personally I always leave)But still, if you are not a tourist, you will notice the difference that the attitude towards you will be a little dismissive, even to the point of ignoring, and a few staff dances and bends in front of tourists. But I still put 5 stars.
Made you an advertisement for tourists 😂😅🤘
P.S. I visit Bukhara every month, so I made this conclusion, far from the only visit

I highly recommend it. We tried half the menu - everything is very tasty. And, importantly, it is quite budget-friendly for the price. We will definitely come back here on our next trip to Bukhara!

Great. I really liked the mutton. I've never eaten like this anywhere, apparently I had no luck with the chefs. The service is excellent. Great lady receptionist. She led everyone as a conductor of the orchestra. She managed to help with a very efficient waiter. With a full landing, everything is well done, both the kitchen and the hall. I highly recommend it

Fast service, friendly staff. We ordered mutton kebab 5 pieces, 2 of them were fat, but the kebab itself is soft and juicy. I didn't like Manta rays, but I don't like them anywhere. We ordered a beef kebab with French fries, but it looks like meatballs more, the traditional soup is very tasty. In general, I recommend the place, it is very atmospheric.

I don't know where such rave reviews come from. It was September 16, and the table was booked in advance. From the menu, everything that we chose was not available: "no one will light a barbecue because of one barbecue," despite the fact that others calmly brought and fried everything. We were also "advised" to take more expensive wine. And so in everything, everything is expensive in stock, the rest is just "noodles with minced meat" - on lagman. Lula kebab-boiled minced meat, etc. maybe we were so lucky with the "waiter", but the impression is spoiled and I do not advise everyone!

An incredible place, delicious cuisine, almost always a full landing. What kind of view opens to the city, I highly recommend the tapchan on the top level: it is convenient and everything is in sight 👌🏻
Special thanks for the delicious meat dishes and pilaf.

It is a very pleasant place, but the table must be booked in advance. Amazing meat, excellent shurpa, good cheeses, delicious. Bread too. Everything is fine, great, thanks! The wine is good, the vegetables are fresh. A wide variety of menus, for every taste. It won't be long. In general, my favorite place in Bukhara. Thank you.

Our entire team (8 people) was unanimously recognized as the best visited restaurant in Uzbekistan. We were at three more in Tashkent and three in Samarkand. Kebabs, manti, samsa, salads, baklava - everything is great. And what a view from the terrace. Well, a separate respect to the head waiter (I don't know how else to call him), he's great. Alcohol is expensive compared to other restaurants in Uzbekistan, but that's nonsense. By the way, the tea is brewed from a placer, and not from a bag, as everywhere else.

Unreasonably expensive and not the right taste. You can eat much tastier in other places nearby. The only advantage is the view from the veranda of the second floor of the restaurant to the old town. Portions are small for standard prices.
Half a kilogram of meat is 300 grams of meat and 200 bones.
The salads are delicious
The cradle is dry, the bread is cold.
The staff paid attention mainly to citizens of European countries. The last thing they paid attention to was locals and CIS citizens, as if CIS citizens would leave them less tips 🌚
We ate for 400,000 sums, did not eat enough and did not enjoy it. Please note the service fee of 15%. In many establishments of a higher class, there is no such thing.

One of the best Uzbek restaurants I've been to. The national cuisine is represented in all its diversity. Everything is delicious, made from the freshest products. No wonder Zhirinovsky was fed here at one time. The interior, of course, has a national flavor. The price tag, despite the high standards, is very democratic
