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!!!

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.

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!

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 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 👍

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!

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)

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.

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.

A very beautiful and delicious restaurant! It is better to book a table in advance, both in the afternoon and in the evening, full boarding! 5-plus service! Special thanks to our waiter, unfortunately I forgot his name, but our colleague's boyfriend is a medical student! The cuisine is mainly national, very tasty, good cocktails. Pleasant live music is playing. Thanks to the restaurant for letting us in with the dogs!

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!

I thought you wouldn 't even ask ... Well, in short, there are no problems with delicious food in Bukhara... Therefore, I highly recommend walking around the city, trying everything in a row and making a personal rating of establishments... In my rating, this is still the best institution. I admit that in three days I have not visited all the best restaurants, although I managed to do something... My method was simple. In all the places where I ate, I took tomato salad, achichuk or somewhere it was called shakrob, like... It's not about the name and the recipe. And in tomatoes! I was there at the beginning of July and there is enough tomato in Uzbekistan at this time. So the best tomatoes were

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 👍😊😋

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.

The rating is only for the interior, location and service. There's nothing else to bet on. The kitchen is frankly not very good. On the first day after arriving in Bukhara, we decided to stop by for lunch. In general, I did not like it. Sour adjika, not a tasty shurpa, apparently with separately prepared ingredients (different temperatures in the plate). And in general, the rest of the national cuisine is the same: not tasty and not expressive. Believe me, we have something to compare it with. The cost is above average. The service is clear and prompt, although a little confused by the extra position in the receipt. But they fixed it quickly, check it out.

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

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.

This is a great restaurant! There are many restaurants nearby and we would hardly be able to find this one ourselves. We came on the recommendation of a local resident. As a result, we visited it twice in four days of stay. I liked both the quality of the dishes and the quality of the service! I was especially surprised that the service here is 0%, i.e. at our discretion. Perhaps this approach ensures the quality of service. We thanked the waiter!

Visited before departure on the recommendation of the owner of our hotel, this restaurant made the farewell evening unforgettable. Everything is very tasty, especially samsa and carp dymlama. We were able to pay with Union pay of the Russian GPB. The service is according to the heart, and not, as in many places of Uzbekistan, a certain percentage. It would be good to book on Fridays and Saturdays, there are also a lot of visitors on Sunday, everything is busy after 20.00. There are tables and trestles. Of the desserts, we got only cheesecake, ordered additives, said they were made by the owner's wife, which was doubly pleasant for us. We wish you prosperity ❤

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.

A wonderful restaurant, the menu is not large, but enough to enjoy the local cuisine. As a rule, there are no free places, if you plan to visit an institution, it is better to book a table in advance. If you come and there are no seats, arrange with the hostesses to put you not for a long time (1-1. 5 hours) at the reserved table, they always have such, if desired, then you can move to another table. The food is delicious, keep in mind that the portions are large and they can be safely divided into two.

A cozy place with authentic cuisine. Very close to the center of the old town (10 meters). There is a non-smoking room, which becomes very important in the conditions of permitted smoking in restaurants. However, there are no beds in the non-smoking room. Wi-Fi is turned off after the closing of the tourist season. The cuisine is delicious, we tried kebabs and small chebureks. Do not believe the waiter for anything if he says that in a dish with dough - "the dough is almost not noticeable," it is definitely noticeable. We recommend it.
