I must say it is my favorite restaurant in Uzbekistan, I have been there three times, hence I live in Tashkent. The food is delicious and mouthwatering, the maza is outstanding, we ordered crispy Baklajon, cow tongue, green salad. As for the main course we had a group platter, fresh Sheesh and drinks. The prices are reasonable and affordable, in a nutshell a life time experience. Please remember to keep Tashkent clean, don't through garbage on the ground.
Best regards.

The wait was too long, waited 40 minutes for the order
The food isn’t worth it
The waiters never come to take the order like I wasn’t even there
Ужасное обслуживание, еда того не стоила, невкусно и дорого
Официанты вели себя так, как будто меня не видят вообще

service is terrible, waiters don't pay any attention, we ordered mashed potatoes and shashlik, for some reason they brought the mashed potatoes before the shashlik, while we were waiting for the shashlik, the mashed potatoes got cold and stale, we regretted believing the reviews, I don't recommend

We were here 2 times during the trip. Very tasty food, good service, large portions. I strongly advise you to try logman and shish kebab.The dishes are definitely worth the price.

Samarkan Restaurant is a place where we come back again and again. Excellent Uzbek cuisine, the dishes are prepared with love, the portions are large, and the prices are quite affordable. The service is top-notch, the waiters are attentive and courteous. I really like the atmosphere: the traditional interior, the national music and the special oriental comfort. And in summer it is especially pleasant here – there is a beautiful summer courtyard where you can enjoy the fresh air, delicious food and the atmosphere of real oriental hospitality. In addition to Uzbek cuisine, there are also European dishes on the menu, so every guest will find something to their liking.

Samarkand National Cuisine Restaurant: a taste of traditions
The Samarkand restaurant is not just a place for lunch or dinner, it is a real journey into the world of Uzbek cuisine and hospitality. Located in the heart of the ancient city, the restaurant combines tradition and modern comfort. Here you can enjoy the authentic taste of national dishes prepared according to ancient recipes. 🍽️
The restaurant's menu offers a variety that can impress any gourmet: fragrant pilaf, juicy shish kebab, manti with the finest dough, shurpa and mastava soups, as well as an incredible selection of fresh tortillas and sweets. Each ingredient is carefully selected to emphasize the uniqueness of Uzbek cuisine. 🥘
The interior of the Samarkand restaurant surprises with its refined atmosphere: traditional patterns, carved ornaments and cozy halls create a feeling as if you have plunged into the past. It is equally pleasant to spend time here for family meals and business meetings. 🎨
We offer not only the opportunity to enjoy culinary masterpieces, but also arrange a transfer from anywhere in the city to the restaurant. In addition, upon your request, we can include a visit to the Samarkand restaurant in the program of individual or group excursions around the city. Experience the taste of real Uzbekistan for yourself — leave the organization to us! 🚗✨

The interior is excellent and colorful.
The table was booked on the call.
The menu is very large, it even seems unnecessary.
All the food and drinks are delicious, there's nothing to complain about.
But as always, the whole impression is spoiled by a person, namely the waiter:
- I couldn't give a good advice on the dishes.
- I brought a flatbread - it's a huge size, thick dough. Yes, even if the whole family had eaten it and ordered nothing else, we still wouldn't have eaten it. They wanted to refuse, but no, I included it in the bill. Well, okay, it's just kind of unexpected.
- I brought drinks, but I didn't bring glasses with them.
- the bottle of wine opened with a corkscrew, I had to wait 40 minutes. And the fact that another waiter was caught by the hand - thank you.
- the first dishes from the order (salads) were brought - plates and forks with knives were not brought. I had to catch another waiter again and beg for forks. The hunt for the devices also lasted for 30-40 minutes.
Great idea, kitchen, interior, and so on. In this case, I am not evaluating the restaurant, but my visit to it and the pleasure I experienced after spending the only evening in Samarkand on this.

It's a lovely restaurant. It's fast, tasty, the service is pleasant, the check is average in the city.
Dancing in the main hall in the afternoon and evening 💃
Very authentic.
There are individual rooms.
Of the dishes I particularly liked: lamb quiche, dolma, chuchvara, lavash with meat filling. There is wine 🍷
Pilaf and samsa are custom-made banquet dishes, you can't order them at the moment.
There is a full landing in the evenings, but it is quite free during the day.

It has a very beautiful interior, several halls, a large one inside with only tables, another with music and a stage, booths. In general, for every taste, especially for tourists, we didn't like the food at all, as there were too many people, just hundreds of guests, everything was on stream.... it was fast, and not very tasty, we arrived at 8 p.m., and there was almost nothing to eat, it was over, because there were too many guests for the day, there were only 2 types of kebabs and a few salads, unfortunately. The waiters are great, they try their best, there are no complaints.

A family-run restaurant with excellent cuisine, the menu is amazing with a variety of dishes for every taste. The service was beyond praise, with a full load, the waiter managed to constantly not only bring our orders, but also keep the appliances and dishes on the table clean. There are several themed halls, we were at the national and that says it all. For fans of live music, artists perform at 19 o'clock, there is no longer a conversation at the table. There are also booths on the 1st and 2nd floors, it's quiet there. And most importantly, tables must be booked in advance, there is always almost 100% boarding.

The new hall is very cozy. The authentic decor against the background of birdsong is simply relaxing. The menu is rich and interesting. There is coffee to choose from, the portions are good, the meat is juicy and delicious. The service is a bit lame. Most likely, students are working part-time, tired and sleepy. Not everyone knows Russian and English. Prices are acceptable, if without booze, then 100-150 thousand per person.

The coolest restaurant that we visited during our trip to Uzbekistan!
Delicious food, good service and a pleasant atmosphere inside.
I recommend you to visit if you want to have a delicious meal and taste high-quality Uzbek cuisine!
I would recommend the Vesuvius dish separately, I enjoyed it very much! I am attaching a photo.

A good restaurant at affordable prices. The music is very loud on the ground floor, so if you want to chat, then you will go to the second floor - the Russian hall. However, everything is mixed up there: the decor of the Russian village and life during the USSR period. But the menu is large, there is plenty to choose from. The portions are large and delicious. The waiters cleared away the dirty dishes pretty quickly. Only Uzbeks make very light tea, you have to ask them to brew it normally. We asked about wi-fi, so the waiter distributed the Internet from his phone, turned off the sound and his phone was on our table for the whole dinner so that we could have Internet. Thank you very much for this attitude.

They were company. The perfect price-performance ratio. There are three halls. Those who like a quiet time of spending time will find comfort in the Russian Hall. If you like an active feast with dancing and music, I recommend the largest hall in the national style. There are enough waiters in the evening, you will not be left without attentive service.

Very tasty dishes at reasonable prices, the place is very popular, especially among tourists from outside Russia, so it's better to book a table in advance, if possible. But if you want real Uzbek food, it's better to look for a less hyped place (there are 2 such places per person in Samarkand)). But the interior, the speed of service and the choice of dishes here are probably the most interesting and great in Samarkand.

Of all the places we've been to in Samarkand, this is probably going to be in the first place, leading the top three ranking;) A huge restaurant with different halls, there is an open-air restaurant, there is a hall with music and dancing, there is a hall - you sit in a garden with birds singing, in the evening, of course, there are a lot of people and a cool restaurant, and by the way, there were a lot of tourists. But there are also many locals with families. Service - you can't find fault. The prices are pleasant, for 3 servings of meat, 2 salads, local wine (yes, they make wine in Uzbekistan), tea and bread, they paid 500,000 sums, or about 3,500 rubles. In general, if you want to fully immerse yourself in the local flavor and have a delicious meal, this is our full recommendation.

Guys, this place is a must-visit in Samarkand.… What these guys waiters bring is not just delicious, it's divine, and these guys don't walk, but fly, literally, near you like "helicopters", but you don't notice it. You are simply immersed in the atmosphere of a holiday called SAMARKAND... It doesn't matter how much it costs you anymore... but it's not more expensive than other establishments of this level... MANY THANKS TO ALL THE STAFF.

I recently visited the Samarkand restaurant in the heart of the city, and I was very impressed! This place perfectly combines a traditional atmosphere and modern service. The interior of the restaurant is designed in the style of oriental luxury, with elements of Samarkand architecture, which creates a cozy and atmospheric atmosphere.

We visited in June 2024. The table was reserved in the courtyard. And it was the right decision, because the music was playing very loudly in the hall, and it was quite comfortable to communicate in the courtyard. The additional coolness was created by the wet fog system. Everyone liked the dishes. Very tasty. Nothing from the menu was on the stop list, although there was a full board in the establishment. Not all the waiters speak Russian, but any issue was promptly resolved. For the first time, during our trip to Uzbekistan, they did not try to short-count us or add something extra to the bill. But the toilet, to put it mildly, was not very good, but, again, this is a common problem of establishments in the region. You just have to be prepared for this.

It's very colorful and monumental. The national cuisine, the bazaar, and the people are all delicious, unusual, and pleasant.
If you want to buy any souvenirs, spices, or national clothes, do not buy them in tourist areas. There is everything in the bazaars and it is three times cheaper.

A large modern city. But with beautiful ancient sights. A good place for tourism and new experiences. With a guided tour, you can go around all 5 sites in 1 day. But if possible, prolong the pleasure. But the pleasure is not cheap. Entrance to each place is paid. It is much more expensive for foreigners than for Uzbek citizens.

It's a very beautiful restaurant, it's like going to a museum. There are vases everywhere, carpets, unusual lanterns, and cages with birds. The food is also delicious. wine is cheaper than in the store per bottle. Together with a bottle of wine, which they then took away with them, and some of the dishes that they could not eat, they paid 1,700 rubles. 15% of the service is immediately included in the bill

We visited this recommended restaurant. There are many halls, and accordingly, seats. The setting is closer to a large good-quality cafe. The menu is sufficient, but not everything is available.
Now about the most important thing - about the kitchen.
Shurpa is very mediocre, not saturated and not "soulful". The chicken soup was not bad. Julienne, not quite julienne, coarsely chopped chicken fillet in a heavily salted but inexpressive sauce.
The loin of lamb, declared as stewed in pomegranate sauce, was not brought to readiness, it was difficult and incomplete to separate from the bones. It was complemented with French fries, shredded cabbage, green peas, orange slides and a daikon rose, which concealed (CAREFULLY, injury is possible) half a toothpick (to fasten the petals).
The only thing that was really delicious was the wonderful lamb ribs cooked on the grill. .
