One of the best restaurants in Samarkand. Authentic and very tasty food, excellent service, live music – we had a wonderful holiday experience. During the tourist season, it is better to book a table in advance.
A good place to have a relaxing meal with friends. You can rent a gym and have a big noisy get-together, it's up to you.

It's a very interesting place, with a history. The building is protected by UNESCO. Very diverse cuisine. Everything is made with love. A special feature is confectionery. These are masterpieces from a pastry chef. You should definitely try teramis. Polite staff.
Excellent location, good service, delicious dishes, beautiful serving, decent portions, live music in the evenings, tables must be booked in advance, full boarding in the evenings. I liked everything very much
I really didn't like the place! We read a lot of reviews and went here. The price tag is high here, and the food and service turned out to be below the skirting board. Here are the most unpalatable mantas from all those establishments we have been to, the filling is one fat and 0.000001% meat. The apogee of everything was an attempt to cheat us, they put a dish on the bill that we did not order. For the first time in Uzbekistan, they tried to cheat us, the staff did not react in any way to this deception on their part. The rest of the food tastes below average.
It's a great place, and I recommend croutons with beer. They're the most delicious I've ever eaten in my life. And the tongue in cream sauce, which costs 130rubles, is a MASTERPIECE! The most delicate and delicious!!
A 5.0 rating is unjustified.
First of all, it's very dirty. The scarty is stained and crumbled.
Secondly, there may not be a dish, and they won't even tell you about it. I waited about an hour for the salad, and found out that it was not there, only when I asked how soon it would be delivered.
I don't recommend it to anyone.
To be honest, I didn't understand why there was such a fuss about this restaurant. It's definitely not worth waiting for a table. The food is ordinary. The neighborhood is no worse in the restaurant, and you don't need to wait for a table.
A very decent restaurant with local and European cuisine. The food is very tasty, the wine is well chosen. The service is fast and courteous. The atmosphere is very calm. Live music in the evening. I recommend
April 2025. We went to drink coffee with sweets. We ordered coffee and a couple of sweets: classic cheesecake and chocolate Sycamore (an analogue of fandan). They gave away 169,000 soums. The waiters worked for 5+. The kitchen didn't disappoint either. So everything is great.
Excellent restaurant with good service, high-quality and delicious dishes + in a good assortment. Separately, it should be noted that their dessert menu is super.
The restaurant is teeming with guests at lunchtime and in the evening, so it is better to book during these hours.
We were at dinner. I liked the restaurant very much, it corresponds to the rating. The pleasant atmosphere, interior and dishes are rather international, but Uzbek ingredients definitely improve the taste. The salad with baked eggplant is definitely successful, the meat is delicious and juicy. I recommend the local wine, white is even more pleasant. The service is also fast enough and of high quality.
A good place, but clearly overrated. The service is really incredible - both the waiters and the girls at the entrance are great! The man plays the piano and saxophone well. But the food was not particularly impressive. The mantas are falling apart, the meat in them is chopped hard as a sole. The signature salad is just mixed everything in a row without any taste of its own. The tortilla and baked chicken were delicious, which was waited for an hour. There were no foreign wines, only a couple of local names.
The service is about zero. The staff decides for you what you need if what you ordered is missing) They asked for unfiltered beer, and brought lager. They did not dare to order food, because instead of red fish they can bring bream)
Very weak staff with a high price tag for local restaurants.
I'm telling you, as a tourist)
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.
Excellent restaurant, delicious cuisine. But it's worth lowering the prices a bit... But in general, everything is fine!

I've been there twice (in spring and autumn with a year difference) and both times were beautiful.
We took meat dishes, salads, pastries.
The staff is polite, the quality of the food is very good.
The only thing is that it's dim in the main hall.
I will come again if I am in Samarkand.
An unusual restaurant, with a huge number of seats and halls. The food is delicious, the prices are quite high. It takes a long time to wait for service, the waiters are tracking too many customers at the same time. Not all menu items are available. The bread was not fresh in the evening, the pastry was 50/50.
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!
This restaurant was recommended to us in one of the blogs of travelers and it really is one of the best restaurants in the city! Great meat, an original eggplant salad, and we were also recommended a wonderful local wine and we found and bought the same with us. In general, without hesitation, the next day of our trip we went to this restaurant again and again had fun. Thank you, you are the best!
An interesting interior with an oriental accent, a menu for every taste, and the dishes are very tasty, prepared from high-quality products. The service is sincere, attentive staff. Both the saxophonist sings and the piano perfectly creates the mood. the price is very adequate.
Take dolma, chicken, incredible chuchvara, ground shish kebab
We visited the restaurant on the advice of the guide. The restaurant is located in a well-renovated house, which is an architectural monument. The food was very tasty. Walking along University Boulevard on the day of departure, we did not find a good place to eat, we went to Sycamore. The time was calculated incorrectly. We ate in puffs, but again it was delicious. We jumped on the train 5 minutes before departure. A little adventure with three children.
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)
The restaurant is atmospheric and popular, especially among Europeans. You will not get there without prior reservation. We arrived without reservation, but we didn't wait in line, so we left.
The restaurant is one of the best in the city, the place is pleasant, the cuisine is excellent. A good place for events or business meetings. Located in the historical part of the city. Of the minuses, I can highlight that the common room for non-smokers is constantly occupied, they offer a place in the smoking room.
An excellent restaurant with several zones, we managed to visit an old hall resembling an English hall)
The service is very good and fast, the dishes are prepared quite quickly.
The taste of the dishes is great, meat and salads are perfectly combined with each other)
If you are in Samarkand, then you must go to Sycamore
for the second time in this city, so it is checked...
(3 visits)
Everything is balanced — service (5), interior, FOOD (5), and generally, a high-quality place to visit!!!
The background music is unusual for such a place, noble, I even want to add a little uzbekness…
It is clear that manta rays, etc
. But a life-biz with lamb ribs is great.
Just please, take new potatoes instead of regular French fries…
It will be great, you won't regret it...
Great restaurant!! Especially in good weather on the summer terrace. Everything is insanely delicious, the approach to food is special, they bring it quickly. The staff is friendly and attentive. 10/10 👏🏻👏🏻
I was in this restaurant and stayed in a pleasant mood!
The restaurant really has a high level and standard. It has an atmosphere reminiscent of the deep traditions of Samarkand, and I liked the combination of ancient traditions and modern quality standards.
The restaurant has a small but cozy courtyard where you can drink coffee or smoke a cigarette. The food here is one of the best in Samarkand (I've been to different places and I can compare). All the dishes were delicious, light and nutritious. The cost of the dishes is slightly higher than in other places, but it's worth it.
Good meat. Great fish. Delicious salads. But the coolest thing is the desserts. I recommend trying the classic cheesecake.
I would like to note the excellent level of service provided by the waiters. They were attentive, polite, understanding and responsive. I liked the restaurant and recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to experience a great atmosphere, delicious food and excellent service!
The best restaurant in Samarkand. Everything is very tasty, real and at affordable prices. I recommend it to everyone. The atmosphere is very cozy. However, there is not enough air conditioning power in hot weather. I recommend booking tables in advance - the place is very popular among tourists and locals. The tortillas are just fire! The staff is very friendly and attentive.
I really liked it. Cozy indoors and outdoors, fast and attentive service. Delicious food, even desserts are prepared by themselves. The price tag is above average, which is in other places, but it's worth it👌
We came to this restaurant for lunch, we were satisfied with the ordered dishes, the cuisine is delicious (we ordered 2 types of dumplings, 2 salads, nuggets).
Initially, we ordered 2 types of steak, but unfortunately they were not available, ATTENTION HERE, the steaks were not brought, but they were taken into account in the receipt.
Therefore, always CHECK the RECEIPT so as not to pay for the dishes that were not brought.
I liked the strict and pleasant interior, the menu is huge, the choice of drinks is also (I liked the uzumfermer Dali wine)
If you were lucky with the waiter, you could put five stars, it feels like some are at the start of their careers.
The door closer did not work, many visitors were strained by the draft
Cozy cafe, pleasant atmosphere, friendly and non-intrusive staff. There is a summer terrace and a couple of indoor areas. The dishes turned out to be extremely tasty (we ordered American steak and bon steak with blood). The prices are average, salad, two main courses, two lemonades and tea with dessert came out at 270,000+ soums. There is no service in the restaurant, only taxes, which are separately indicated on the receipt. So don't forget to tip the waiters. We will be in Samarkand, we will definitely look again.
All the management's attention is apparently on the interior
Waiter
- I forgot half of the dishes
- I don't know what kind of wine there is and there is in the assortment
- I brought wine with crumbs from the cork
What a meal for 3
We had lunch here twice, everything is fine! Some dishes are "restaurant assembly" when the meat is separate, the potatoes are separate and ... voila, the cauldron, but it's still delicious. The grill, the steaks are great! Thanks to the staff, the atmosphere is pleasant, the music is unobtrusive!
