I definitely won't advise my friends when visiting Samarkand. And it's not about the small number of national dishes. According to the description below, it will become clearer:
4 people came with their family from a walk around 17:30 without prior reservation. The receptionist gave a table strictly until 20:00. We agreed without hesitation. And then a few joints completely spoiled the impression inflated by other reviews.
1. The wrong salad was brought that was ordered. Replaced
2. They brought the wrong hot food that they ordered. They replaced it, but we met them halfway - we took the wrong hot stuff with us
3. The dish for the youngest child (cutlets and mashed potatoes) was brought an hour later
4. Taking food, you do not get real pleasure, but rather convince yourself that it is oh so delicious. The taste of the food is not at the highest level, which is very surprising with such a status of the restaurant
5. At 18:58, the administrator came up and hinted that other guests were already waiting and at 19 o'clock it was necessary to clear the table. However, then she came to her senses and ran to "allow" to stay until 20:00.
6. The "left" French fries were punched into the check. It's funny - Samarkand, a vaunted restaurant and "fries" with mutton🤦♂️
They left disappointed. I definitely understand that other restaurants would show loyalty for such shoals - a discount or a compliment. But this is definitely not about "Sycamore".
The image is high, but employees, alas, cannot match it. Something needs to be changed in the management of the institution.
I think this is the best restaurant in Samarkand.
We were on New Year's Eve. The restaurant was open, unlike other popular restaurants. The menu is quite large. We have been here 3 times. Everything was delicious every time.
The interior is pleasant. Patio with a cat^_^
The waiters are very attentive. The feed is fast.
Photo from the courtyard.
I really liked the sycamore because there is a courtyard with beautiful greenery. Very tasty food and some giant portions, in my opinion. We went twice in a row, both times we were delighted. I especially liked the fresh cucumber salad and fragrant tomatoes with herbs, nothing complicated, but very tasty. I recommend visiting this place to all guests of Samarkand.
Convenient location, the restaurant is located almost in the center of the city, when we arrived, we were informed that there were no places, but after fussing we were seated inside. Inside the restaurant there is a beautiful interior and a comfortable temperature. We ordered for a long time, because there is not much of what is presented on the menu, we ordered meat and salads, unlike other restaurants in Spmarkand, serving as in Russia - in small portions. The prices are higher than in the Samarkand restaurant, and you will find out about it when the bill is brought, the waiter babbled that the prices on the menu are without VAT and without tips... In general, the price ended up being 30% higher. An unpleasant aftertaste after a pleasant evening.
I really liked the restaurant! Delicious food, pleasant atmosphere, reasonable prices, courteous staff! I celebrated the anniversary, we are happy with everything! I recommend it!
This is the top 1 among Samarkand restaurants, in my personal rating! The menu has both European and local cuisine, and the desserts are good. The assortment of the wine list was pleasantly surprised and the prices are quite reasonable (try local wines, there are excellent samples). The officers are responsive, attentive and efficient. I was pleased with a local musician who plays the saxophone, clarinet, duduk, will play a melody at your table to suit your mood or occasion.
An exceptional restaurant. Wonderful positive waiters. Great interior. Great dishes. Dolma is simply amazing. The best best that can be in the post-Soviet space
I really liked this place. A cozy atmosphere, a beautiful design designed in the national style, part of our hall was separated from the main one by batik canvases with Uzbek motifs.
The place is visited, there are many foreigners.
The cuisine is delicious, the serving is not long, the waiters are professionals, they ask about the order of serving, they monitor the filling of glasses (in Uzbekistan, this service is far from every restaurant).
I definitely recommend visiting
An excellent historical restaurant. Everything is very tasty and fast. The waiters are attentive and smiling. It's always nice to come to a place where you're welcome
A well-deserved high place in the rating of restaurants in Samarkand. Restrained interior in the style of a chateau, national and European cuisine. Delicious. The prices are not small, but quite portable. Friendly polite modern staff, service at the level.
Good evening.
If we talk about the whole platon
Then it's just a masterpiece!!!!
The kitchen and this restaurant is very beautiful, pleasant, cozy and even very tasteful.
The staff is at the highest level
As for food, this is generally a separate topic.
Everything is beautiful and very tasty!!!
And most importantly, you can't even say that it's expensive. The portions are simply huge, it is possible for two people to eat.
You won't stay hungry, and the prices are reasonable.
Everything is clean about the hotel, too. And comfortable.
There are no claims or disadvantages.
Keep it up. Sincerely yours!!!!
A cozy, beautiful place with a calm atmosphere. Delicious and varied menu. Not an expensive wine carat, a lot of local and international wines and other drinks.
It's not tasty, I didn't like the food. We came here for manta rays, disappointment: the dough is bad, thick. The filling is not tasty. And it was especially frustrating that you, a tourist, are being held for a fool here: in Uzbekistan, 10-15% for service is always added to the cost of the check, this is written on the menu itself, in the Platan restaurant it is 15%, but the waiter thought that this was not enough and 2 (!!!) raza persistently told her husband about the tip ... the management should pay attention to this behavior of the staff. The place itself is pleasant, the trees were blooming in May, it was nice to sit on the outdoor veranda.
The hotel is small, located in the historical center.
Not very close, but you can walk to Registan.
The hotel itself is authentic and very cozy.
The breakfasts are delicious and huge.
The hotel has a restaurant, for me, with the most delicious food in Samarkand.
A wonderful restaurant in Samarkand. The kitchen is beyond praise. The restaurant has been open for 22 years. Mutton would have eaten itself if it knew how delicious it would be cooked in the Platan restaurant! Live music will brighten up the dinner. The musician plays the piano, flute, saxophone. He feels the visitors perfectly. Both "The Wind is Crying" and "Victory Day" are playing equally soulfully. The work of Sycamore is clearly demonstrated by the fact that we specially returned here for the second time in a day, having left another popular restaurant.
It's probably the best place to find it in Samarkand. We visited 3 other most popular establishments, all of them at a level below the Sycamore Tree. The meat is perfect. There are not many local dishes. The atmosphere is pleasant, but, of course, this is not a gourmet restaurant
A great restaurant, good cuisine and atmosphere, and the music on March 7 was incomparable, such a talented musician would come back to listen to this talented person play again!
Very tasty breakfast and coffee. Straight here from the airport. The service is good. They charge 15% of the amount for the service. In Uzbekistan, they take it almost everywhere. I think that the amount is insignificant if you are well fed)) Have a nice trip, everyone👍🏻
The most magnificent restaurant in Samarkand.
The atmosphere of the 18th century.
The serving is very refined.
The dishes are delicious.
Being inside, you can wait for the dish indefinitely, but at the same time not notice the time.
I was only at breakfast-everything is super delicious. And a nice interior. In Uzbekistan, there is a problem with the fact that the service is already included in the bill and therefore the waiters are not trying very hard, but this is not the case! Very nice waiters and hostesses!
I really liked the restaurant. In my rating, the best restaurant visited during my entire trip to Uzbekistan. Very tasty food and a pleasant atmosphere.

Everything was very tasty. The staff is at 5. We were sitting on the veranda, very sincerely, in the evening they light lamps from a live fire. The portions are large, after the salad we ate the meat. For three people, salad and hot dishes for each, 2 large plates with snacks for wine, 3 bottles of wine paid a little more than $ 100
Of all the restaurants I liked the most. I recommend.
They cook very tasty, the salads are delicious, the service is 5+, the atmosphere is very good, the book hall is very beautiful, the food is delicious. I recommend those who go to Samarkand, be sure to go to the Sycamore Tree
Everything is just great! The dishes are very tasty, especially the chocolate sycamore! The service is at the European level, fast and high quality. A gorgeous enclosed courtyard with an exit from the hall! I highly recommend this place!!!
It is delicious and very satisfying. They cook quickly, the meat is tender and soft, the bread is always hot. The staff is very attentive and decent! The prices are affordable, a good meal per person will be about 120-160 thousand soums.
A good restaurant with delicious cuisine and pleasant, friendly staff. I liked everything, the interior, the general atmosphere of the place. I wish you prosperity and success
A wonderful hotel, beautiful, clean, cozy.
The restaurant is just as amazing. Wonderful breakfasts, a wide variety of delicious dishes. We had dinner twice and were very satisfied. Delicious, high-quality, varied, for every taste. Thank you.
An excellent restaurant in the price/quality ratio. As for the cuisine, everything is very tasty, there are simply no words for samsa. Alcohol at very reasonable prices.
The best place to eat in the city. I definitely recommend the "book room" for a relaxing evening. The service is at the level of a modern metropolis, the dishes are also delicious, I recommend taking something from the Josper menu (this is a machine for baking meat and fish) - it turns out with smoke!
And don't forget to book a table in advance, otherwise you may not find a place.
An ordinary restaurant for tourists. Promoted, a lot of European dishes, prices are above average. The quality of the dishes is acceptable, but there are restaurants with more delicious dishes. Here you will not feel Uzbekistan, much less Samarkand.
The service is good
The place is good, but be careful with the waiters! Our experience was specific: the waiter allegedly heard "bottle" instead of "glass", and we got 1.5k Russians
We did not understand where such an assessment and rave reviews came from. The food is for three, you probably pay for the interior and service, you wouldn't come back a second time
Great restaurant. The service is good. There were two halls: one as a library, with books, the second - standard, but with a pleasant design. In the evenings, there is live music - they play instruments (piano, brass). In general, it's atmospheric.
The food is delicious. Salads (with beans and 2 others with eggplant) and hot (potatoes with meat in a pan) were excellent. The only thing is, I ordered a grilled cheese patty, and it turned out to be a little dry.
In general, I can say that I will go there during my next visits.
This is the best place in Samarkand, everything is very tasty, the service is on the level, we were a family of 2 adults and a child, we took salads and beer, and hot - everything is just going to die👍👍👍lamb roast is the best in my life!
We also went through the best places later, this one is worthy both in terms of service and taste. Dessert is also decent - berry cheesecake. The check was 655,000👌
The place is not very good. First of all, I didn't like the kitchen at all. I don't understand how you can cook such a terrible meal for such a sum? I ordered a homemade roast, olivier salad, eggplant salad, etc. Nothing for me. I didn't like it. The price is too high. I paid more than two lakhs for what I didn't want and couldn't eat.
A chic restaurant with an excellent selection of dishes.
The staff is very friendly and friendly, they speak perfect Russian.
The average check for dinner (first, second (I always had mutton in different versions) + beer) is 130 thousand soums (15% for the service is included in the bill). It is better to book a table for the evening if you want to sit outside.
A very good restaurant , the prices are adequate well, if you compare with Moscow) beautiful interior, a large selection , I don't even know what else to add here
It's a great place. The restaurant stands out compared to other establishments in Samarkand. Many thanks to the musician, it creates a pleasant atmosphere.
The food is definitely not 5 points as in the rating. The portions are large, the prices are also high, but the serving and taste of the dishes are average. The gastronomic delight was not experienced. Many people go because of the rating. Honestly 4.9 is too much. The service and staff are also average. In general, solid 4. Not higher
Pleasant atmosphere, courteous staff and good cuisine. Convenient location. Unobtrusive musical accompaniment. It's nice to sit and chat while enjoying a delicious meal.
We visited the restaurant thanks to good reviews and high ratings. But the expectations were not fully met.
Pros: a large menu and really delicious cooking.
Beautiful interior of the building.
Cons: in terms of service, the hot dish was served immediately after the salads and cold. snacks. As a result, the hot dishes were reached when they cooled down.
A bad view of the toilet room: there is a box for disposable seats, but empty. There is no toilet paper. It's dirty enough. We were with the children, so it was an important moment for us
