A highly inflated rating of the restaurant, both in Yandex and in the guides to Samarkand. The kitchen is banal and simple to the point of impudence. The prices are unreasonably high. Prestige is inflated: despite the fact that the hostess allegedly had difficulty finding a table for two for us, because we had not booked in advance, there were empty tables in the hall all evening. The waiter was proactive and the time was not very long for the dishes. But when they were brought, I realized that we came to the dining room, where they put ordinary cream cheese from a jar into eggplant rolls and nothing else, grated cheese with parsley is wrapped in pita bread, as my child could cook, dolma falls apart, and the main dishes consist of baked or boiled potatoes with meat, which as delicacies are sprinkled with fresh onions or watered with melted cheese "Amber". One of the most expensive meat dishes is a simple roast with stewed vegetables. There are already two types of wines by the glass. Background music is unexpectedly techno.
I left the stars for the fact that the meat was well chewed and the waiter was polite.
Very, very tasty!!! The waiters will not only serve you kindly, but also tell you interesting facts about Samarkand. It is beautiful, cozy, an extensive menu and everything is delicious.
Nice big restaurant! The food was brought quickly, the portions are huge! Mantas are very tasty! The lamb kebab cauldron was melting in my mouth. I recommend it!
Great place, delicious, especially all the meat from the oven or on the grill (they have a separate menu), be sure to try it! Everything is delicious, the whole menu: salads, soups... I was very pleased with the solyanka. And of course cocktails. Must have! I recommend. I forgot to say about desserts and coffee - it's delicious! One of the best places in Samarkand.
It is very tasty and beautiful. The prices are expensive, but it's worth it, I finally ate delicious food in Samarkand. I recommend everyone to try grilled salmon (steak)
I had to visit the place twice to evaluate it. The first time I did not believe that an institution with such reviews, ratings, prices could have such mediocre service and cuisine.
It is important to clarify that I rate an institution with the highest rating in the city and ambitious prices, and for an institution of this level, my rating is 1 star.
I will not describe the events, I will just list:
Long serving, poor service, cold dishes, a four-volume menu, and the cherry on the cake is not delicious.
It is important to specify here, there are delicious dishes here, but there are those that are not possible to eat.
At 12.30, they did not have time to open the veranda, only 1 of the 3 halls is working, in which they thought of setting the climate at 17 °. The atmosphere in the hall is similar to a Moscow bar from 2000
good restaurant, large portions. you need to book a table, because you couldn't get in the evening the first time. the waiters are polite. It is definitely worth a visit in Samarkand.
We are from Moscow and St. Petersburg, so we are very picky and spoiled)) but!! This is love at first sight! The best place in all of Tashkent and Samarkand, and we've been to a lot of places. Service, atmosphere, assortment and most importantly the food itself and the serving -5 and 5!!! For drinks , too .
A pleasant interior, quite authentic, the restaurant turned out to have a hotel, a rating of 9.1 on booking (sticker) I do not know how reliable. About the food: a salad of peeled tomatoes, a large portion with onions and peppers, is not bad, but so far it is probably not the season; samsa is very decent, the puff pastry is well baked, the meat is juicy, twisted through a meat grinder, but the onion is quite coarsely chopped, normal; lamb rack, well, what can I say is lamb, not lamb, there was a very negative taste of burnt plastic bag in my mouth, but as it turned out, these are spices, they are passing by. About drinks: fruit tea is normal, without frills; an excellent negative was left by the waiter pouring the remains of wine from the bottle, immediately boldly poured into one glass and instantly offered a new bottle, maybe it's customary, but I've never seen this anywhere, they always pour no matter how much remains in all glasses, even a drop, and only then offer to top up the bottle is too shameless a gesture. And in general, the institution is normal!
Excellent restaurant in Samarkand, good cuisine with affordable prices for alcohol. A table must be booked in advance. Due to the full landing, the service is quite long.
A very popular place, although not cheap by local standards. The menu offers local and European cuisine. Sometimes live music (piano, saxophone). There are a lot of seats, but it is better to reserve a table in advance for dinner.
We didn't get there right away, because the restaurant is very good, we managed to book a table by phone. Complete delight! Delicious😋 The service is excellent, the waiters are friendly, sociable and positive! The best restaurant in Samarkand 💯🥰🥰🍷
Pleasant interior, fast service, customer-oriented staff, delicious food. We did not regret that we came to this restaurant for dinner. Dishes of both European and national cuisine.
Perfect! Food, wine selection, service, low prices. With a children's room would be an ideal place)) There is no pilaf on the menu and, probably, this is correct)
A Russian-style restaurant, everything is delicious. We were sitting on the terrace , the service was excellent, we really liked everything. They took meat, there is no local cuisine. That is, if you are tired of pilaf, etc., then you are here.
..when you come to Samarkand, then for lunch at Platan, it is cozy, delicious,polite staff,serving, serving everything is on the level.
Thanks for the work of all the staff.
Delicious. It is more expensive than in other places with food no worse. The interior is pleasant, but nothing unusual. In general, the restaurant was not surprised.
The menu is European - everyone has their own! Having arrived in Uzbekistan, I wanted to try the local cuisine. The service is at a good level - clean, fast.! They did not try it, because in Moscow the same menu is practically at every step.
Of all the establishments that we managed to visit in Samarkand, this is the best! It is cozy, hospitable, with a wide selection of dishes (both local and European cuisine) and drinks. If you are in Samarkand, I think that the Sycamore is obligatory to visit ;)
It's a nice place, quite tasty. By local standards, it's not cheap. We liked it. One disadvantage is live music. A local musician plays many instruments and is desperately out of tune on all of them) this does not spoil the impression at all, it even adds charm))
Lovely, clean rooms, it is clear that everything is new! Great breakfasts! Excellent location: close to Studencheskiy Boulevard, railway station, Registan. Polite staff.
An overrated place.
We tried to have dinner twice: the first time the restaurant refused to be closed and there was no information about it on Yandex.maps, only we arrived in vain. The second time we managed to get in, but we were warned that we had to leave the restaurant in an hour, because other guests would come. We were in a hurry, ate as soon as possible, had time, and when we got dressed, the hostess put a piece of paper with armor on the table only 1.5 hours after we left. And that's why rush people so much then!??? The service is not too caring, the waiters are busy with some of their own affairs. The food is normal, but the manta rays turned out to be three, burst and with a bunch of onions, in the signature dish with lamb, too, 30 percent onion.
Excellent restaurant located in the UNESCO Heritage building (former Pushkin Library)
There is an opportunity to sit outdoors under the shade of trees. And when it's cold, they offer blankets.
The service is excellent.
Everything I've tried is delicious.
I recommend you to visit.
a good interior, a good kitchen, a good atmosphere, it's good at the expense of service, but as soon as the waiters see each other, they start yelling, shouting and swearing somehow not nice, and also at the expense of prices they are terribly huge just to have a snack you leave half of your wallet there, the owner should think about the prices, otherwise he scares most people

A restaurant with a capital letter. The prices are above average (by local standards), but it's worth it. Delicious, aesthetically pleasing, decent. The three of us ate here for 280,000 soums (vegetarian dishes, beer, tea). Free Wi-Fi, a cozy atmosphere, the most attentive waiters. I definitely recommend it.
P.S. After 3 days we visited the Sycamore Tree again. I'm ready to bet 5 plus again. I note that all the dishes and ingredients here are 100% consistent with my idea of specific European dishes. If it's burrata cheese, then cream flows from it. If the caprese salad is with mozzarella, and not with some kind of cheese substitute. Excellent spritz-aperol. And everything is very, very tasty. I consider this restaurant to be the best in Samarkand. Thanks guys, keep it up!
Sycamore is our old friend, we have been going there since its appearance! As soon as we arrive in Samarkand, in the evening to the Sycamore Tree!! But you know what, the Sycamore tree in the middle of the two thousandth was better!!!

Everything is delicious here, I advise you to visit, it is beautifully located in the city center, everything is comfortable and you can sit outside the atmosphere around is beautiful!
The service is good, the staff is friendly, but - as everywhere in Uzbekistan, the interior is interesting, decent, not parochial, an application for a "level"; there are many tourists from different countries. The kitchen itself, unfortunately, was not at all impressed. If you are tired of authenticity and want a Europeanized atmosphere, you are welcome here.
Hello!
Yesterday we went to hospitable Samarkand.
We had a lot of fun walking around the city, where there are many beautiful places, one of which is the PLATAN restaurant.
We thank the chef for the delicious dishes, and for taking into account our wishes (regarding the small amount of salt in the food)))
Polite staff, we thank Azamat separately for the table setting, friendly attitude to the guests and timely delivery of what we ordered
Thanks to the Platan restaurant management for all of the above!
A very good restaurant - I recommend taking chops with mushrooms. Just blow your head off.
But the service is very slow. After the restaurant, you definitely shouldn't plan anything.
A terrible restaurant , we waited for a salad for 2 hours , manta rays were brought worse than in the roadside of the most remote highway in Russia , dirt , stench and disgusting service !!!
It's a very interesting place. Delicious dishes. The price tag is a little too high. The interiors are beautiful. The waiters are friendly. We decided to come the next day. But... I was amazed that the next day we received yesterday's (!!!) dish. Cooked yesterday. It was just warmed up and brought. That is, in the evening we ordered a cauldron kebab: delicious, excellent potatoes, incomparable meat... And at lunch (at 12.30) we received the same Kazan kebab left over from the evening...With withered potatoes and a few pieces of dried meat. I think that this is not acceptable for an institution of this level.
