when i was in the Karimbek i was happy that the food was prepared for me quickly and very tasty. the atmosphere there is always wonderful, beautiful music plays and the staff is very polite. never had problems with parking. the prices for food are affordable and the food is worth the money. never had any misunderstandings. i often have dinner there with my family and two years in a row i celebrated my birthday there
hello. i was in your restaurant yesterday. it was great, i would like to say you that shashlik was very delicious and i want more!!!! the atmosphere was great, but i didn’t like the music, it was so loud and
the location isn’t good, there are too many cars at the entrance!
the service was better than last time.
value for money is good too!
Good atmosphere with extensive location in the city and friendly staff 👌 but they have some problems with customer service and greeting guests but meals was enjoyable and made with expressions
Delicious food and excellent service. We enjoyed the shashlik and manti. Really nice venue to have a meal or a big celebration

Restaurant well below its pretensions: lousy service despite the abundance of staff twiddling their thumbs. More than 40 minutes between the salad and the main course while 5 minutes announced by the server and another 20 minutes of waiting for dessert. We saw 3 tables arrive after us who had time to order, be served and finish their meal while we were still waiting for our dishes. The table was wobbly, we told 3 servers and the manager pretended not to understand. Same for the bill after 20 minutes still nothing: we got up and they came running for fear that we would leave without paying. 500,000 sums each, 10 times more expensive than elsewhere in Uzbekistan and poor service and dishes no better than in a popular café: avoid!
Hello dear!
I don't recommend this restaurant! I have a lesson from my personal experience.
I visited there with my 6 friends at night on the 19th of June, 2023. Ordered a big traditional beef "assortment"(see the attached photo). We were left approximately 40 minutes without attention, and a "special" meal came 50 minutes later than the order. Surprisingly, almost all the waiters were busy by helping a birthday celebration of another client: holding cake like an army, singing together with those clients.
A long waited meal turned out to be totally saltless. There was no manager to listen to our complaints. Every waiter that heard us kept disappearing surprisingly. After several calls, we received confirmation from the chef that the meal was saltless. We were very disappointed with the very poor attitude towards clients. I DON'T RECOMMEND THE PLACE.
If you're for short-term visit in Samarkand and have lack of time for gastronomy researching, you can visit this place. Very big assortment of local and foreign foods. Pretty average kitchen, not the best tastes, very poor service.
If you want to see the local flavor and try the best barbecue, you 100% need to visit Karimbek!Friendly service,colorful surroundings, large portions.Yes, it's noisy in this place, because there are a lot of people, but if you don't like a bright environment, then just don't go.Yes, 3m kebabs are brought out here with loud music and applause, but that's exactly what people come here for, and tourists are delighted!!!I was in this place with my 12-year-old daughter, and we were pleasantly surprised by the noisy atmosphere, but we felt very comfortable.The staff are great at trying to tell us what to choose from the menu and found an empty table for tourists who are tired like us from the road.I advise everyone to visit if you want to really experience the culture of Uzbekistan!!
I consider it one of the best places in Samarkand, where the food is delicious, inexpensive, and the service is excellent!
Whenever we come to Samarkand, we have dinner in KARIMBEK every evening!!!
Thanks to the chefs, management, staff for the wonderful atmosphere and delicious dishes!! With gratitude and love from Tashkent!!
It's a great restaurant. The interior is clean and beautiful. Everything is very tasty. Lamb shurpa is the best so far during my week in Uzbekistan. The lumpy beef kebab is also beyond praise. Fast service, European-level service. The service charge is 15%
I really liked the restaurant! Wonderful, delicious cuisine, good portions, the prices are generally excellent (when compared with Moscow). The restaurant has a very pleasant design. There are areas for small companies and also several banquet halls. The staff is young and friendly.
We were nearby and stopped by for lunch. They said that the institution is more than 20 years old. There were a lot of people in the restaurant, and again there was a separate large hall where they celebrated their birthday at 2 p.m. It was fun, noisy, and dancing. We ordered achuchuk, Napoleon shish kebab (the most delicious in recent times, juicy, the weight is balanced, you can lick your fingers), dolma, Kiev cutlet (cutlet was cooked like a party school, just a Soviet fairy tale), puff pastry (well, so-so), 2 baklava, tea, 2 local beers (you can try it once). Everything was delicious! I recommend.
It's a great place, and it's delicious, and the interior is beautiful, and the waiters are good-natured! The taxi driver advised us when he drove us from the train station, the lamb meat melts in my mouth, the puff pastry is mega delicious, we rolled out like buns! I recommend you to visit, there were a lot of empty tables on Monday at 4 p.m., but I think you need to book a table there on the weekend
It's a very atmospheric place, oriental, colorful, all kinds of halls and quiet to sit, talk and dance with music!
Pleasant service!
The meat is the most delicious!
The best restaurant in Samarkand!
A must-visit.
I definitely recommend this restaurant, excellent cuisine, delicious dishes, from salads to barbecue, fast service, well done waiters, many thanks to them. The atmosphere is very pleasant, although the boarding in the restaurant is full.
I really liked the restaurant. The dishes are delicious, the portions are huge, the prices are reasonable. We have been in Samarkand for several days, we have come to Karimbek 2 times. Everything is always on top. We will definitely recommend this restaurant to our friends.
A cool restaurant with very tasty cuisine, the cuisine is very different European, Asian,Russian and national, the interior is also decorated with a national and European hall. The service is excellent and the prices are good.
The food is amazingly delicious. Serving and serving tables at the level of Michelin restaurants. The waiters are trained to automatism, polite and friendly! Live music does not interfere with communication and, if necessary, calls to dance)) They can cook meat in an oriental masterly way! Well done! We ordered a banquet for 33 people in September! We managed by 100 points! Prices don't bite. I recommend
We visited this institution on 06.01.25. We were a little confused by the negative reviews before visiting. But I can dispel any doubts, the place is great! Salads, soups, barbecue - everything is very delicious! Despite the fact that there was almost a full landing, the service was excellent. My personal recommendation is a Mermaid salad! If you choose this restaurant, you will have a delicious lunch/dinner in a beautiful and pleasant place!
I really liked the restaurant. Pleasant atmosphere and courteous staff. The atmosphere is comfortable. It's crowded in the evening. One of the special places is the decoration in the style of the National old city.
The restaurant is large, with a beautiful interior. The menu offers a diverse selection of local dishes. We ordered flatbread, salads and various dishes from the barbecue. The flatbread was not fresh and cold, they asked to warm it up - without any special changes, the meat and salads are delicious. They carried the hot stuff for so long that they managed to drink 2 teapots of Tashkent tea.
It's a great place. The kitchen is powerful, everything is delicious. There is always a place. I definitely recommend visiting this place!
Alcohol is also present. ))) But the price is a little too high.
Excellent restaurant, everything was delicious, large portions of national dishes. It also has a pleasant and beautiful interior. The staff is also very polite and executive.
Delicious, expensive. And we waited a very long time for the order. But for good reason, from year to year, Karimbek restaurant remains our most favorite restaurant, and not only in the city of Samarkand. Everything is fresh and delicious, sooooo delicious. I advise everyone.
I really liked Gusht sai, it was very tasty and very satisfying.
Not a bad place. We stopped there just on our way to lunch. We had a quick meal and went back to the bank. Very good. Everything is delicious and inexpensive. We took shurpa and tomato salads
There are always a lot of guests in this place.There is a veranda, a banquet hall and cozy booths. The food is quite varied and very tasty. The staff is attentive and polite. Great for family events and meetings with large companies. I recommend.
We found a restaurant based on reviews. There were 13 people in the company, we ordered a 3-meter barbecue. They brought it out to us with music, dancing and fireworks.
Delicious, beautiful, and fun. We definitely recommend it!!!
A very pleasant place where you can have a delicious meal. Amazing oriental cuisine. Friendly and attentive staff. Everything was delicious and beautiful.
Everything is great! The first place where we ate in Samarkand, we were satisfied! Beautiful interior, delicious food, prompt delivery and friendly staff!
