I recently visited this place, and unfortunately, the service was disappointing. Upon arrival, the staff did not acknowledge my presence or offer any greeting. I stood there waiting, feeling completely ignored. Even after approaching them twice to ask for assistance, they were unfriendly in their reply. This experience left me with a negative impression, and I hope the management will take steps to improve the attitude of their staff towards customers.

It was the worst lüle kebab I have ever eaten in my life. It was as if I was eating Izmir meatballs. Oh Azerbaijan, where are you beautiful lüle kebabs? I wanted to order traditional pilaf with the lüle kebab, but the waiter brought me vegetable pilaf, this is not traditional pilaf! I objected after he brought it and he brought me the right order! Bad service, bad quality, long wait! I definitely do not recommend this place, the food is not sweet, the staff is not interested at all!

Staff were quick to get you seated but do need pre knowledge of reserving tables otherwise they will not allow you to sit in the nicer table sections by the square view or other higher
balcony on the right.
And by the time me and a friend found a table we liked, it was dirty and bread crumbs and not any time to clean at all over therefore choose an another table in the middle section.
This place was above average food prices to target a tourist budget and not cheap as indicated by the 45000 - 60000 sum budget and should have been 100000 - 200000 range for filling portions.
15% service charge should definitely been deducted all together because the their was very little service as they only came for ordering food after some 8-10mins and waited about 30-45mins for food to arrived and even asked when will food arrive as described as fast food delivery time.
The atmosphere was half full on a Thursday night at 9pm-10pm and can definitely hear people behind us were side commenting insults on us two are talking about the food quality and waiting times problems so not even a tourist trap friendly place and lack of understanding when staff once realised you not having good experience, they avoid you then actually help the situation.
The food for my friend for was sub-par for sesh kebab because they were 2 fatty pork pieces and quality pork pieces.
Soup ordered was tiny portions with the bread being described as ancient and very dry and did not even receive tissues for the meal.
My meal was extremely boney beef but average quality with a good amount grease and barely not enough parsley with the sauce being a tiny portion equally and definitely needed tissues and asked two times to get tissues.
The drinks orders had an expired taste it was a sour milky drink called Ayran and not even refrigerated temperature in any means.
Didn’t bother with beers as it was far too pricey.
The interior was good but look closely enough you see it has not been cared for well as far too busy running around clearly.
I do not recommend this place and not believe all the positive reviews at all.

The coolest restaurant in Bukhara!!! All the dishes are MEGA DELICIOUS, the portions are large and beautifully decorated! The most friendly and helpful waiters are Raino and Nurik, speak Russian and English well, give good recommendations and bring the order very quickly!
I recommend tomato salads (chuponcha, achi-chuk, haravac), lamb fire and be sure to order Vaguri, shoulder of lamb and grilled lamb, wine in a large assortment I recommend Merry Tash (9 months aged in French wine barrels).
The restaurant is a must-visit!!!

A very large cafe, with many outdoor tables, with a beautiful courtyard inside. There is a very large menu, everyone will definitely find something for themselves. They cook well. Some dishes are worse, some are better than in other similar places. Alcohol is more difficult. I drank unfiltered Sarbast beer, it is almost everywhere and always there, but with wine and champagne things are worse. Girlfriends drink only brut, and it was not always available (( good local Sarbast beer, and local champagne called Salute. The service is good, the dishes were brought quite quickly.

Excellent restaurant near the Lyabi House square. We lived nearby at the Al Hayat Hotel. Excellent cuisine, delicious Bukhara pilaf, beautiful serving of dishes, there are glasses for cognac (unlike the restaurant of the same name with Lyabi House Square), impeccable service. Special THANKS to the waiter girl!!!
! The average receipt with alcohol and % for the service for two 350 000 - 400 000 sum.

I really liked the place. Delicious and, last but not least, beautifully decorated dishes.
Fast delivery and the most friendly staff.
Different halls and beautiful antique decoration in oriental style. Very affordable prices, especially considering the location of the institution near the tourist center of the city

Great place, wonderful interior. For my taste, the best of all restaurants in Bukhara. The courtyard definitely adds to the charm. Judging by the photo, even Orban has been here)Excellent lamb kebab,delicious shurpa, efficient and efficient staff)If necessary, you can even exchange rubles for soums.

An excellent restaurant, visited it 4 times in 2 days, the menu is varied, the portions are large, the price is reasonable, the atmosphere is cool, the service is attentive and fast enough despite the large attendance. You can choose places on the summer terrace or balcony, as well as there are several cozy halls where different numbers of guests can be accommodated.
We ordered: manti tastier than we have ever eaten in my life, Kazan kebab, samsa Bodomi, "Chuchvara with broth" Homemade dumplings, Lula Kebab, Fried pike perch fillet, I really liked everything.
Thank you very much to the restaurant and the staff, we wish you continued prosperity

We were brought here for lunch on excursions. It turned out to be a good place. We tried three types of salads, all delicious, but especially with crispy eggplant. The soups were delicious too. For the hot meal, there were beef and mutton rolls. Lula are juicy and delicious. At the end, we were served another cake, I don't know what it was called. The cakes are perfectly soaked, the creams are in moderation and the cake seemed light. The portions are neither large nor small. But they still left the table with full bellies :))

Bukhara is a wonderful city. I liked everything : the atmosphere , the cuisine , the people . It is a pity that we were in this city only for a day - very little. But there are a lot of impressions. When visiting Bukhara, you should definitely try samsa, it is special there! The ancient city is beautiful! We had a great time.

An atmospheric restaurant. There are several halls, there are several closed halls, in the center there is a courtyard under a tree, they can also accommodate there, the veranda was closed in March for restoration for the season. The service is fast, the food is delicious, but the dolma can be better, the price tag is average in the city.

If you want to get here, it's better to book a table right away. Tourists are brought in groups of 10-15 people.
An authentic restaurant in the center of Bukhara, with a pretty courtyard.
Clean, cozy, including in the bathroom.
A bright, clear menu.A huge selection of dishes.Beautiful dishes)
Large portions.the products are fresh.
Everything is very tasty😋
The waiters are polite,sociable, and very pleasant to talk to.
The feed is fast.
You can sit on the terrace on the second floor (but I suspect it's a little hot there during the day)
Or you can in the courtyard, cozy at home)
We chose a table in the courtyard.But I hope that next time we are in Bukhara, we will sit on the terrace 🥰
I definitely recommend you to visit🙌🏻♥️

The food is very tasty, the prices are average — not cheap, but not expensive either. The service is pleasant, and 15% of the tip is already included in the bill, which is convenient
Of the disadvantages, there were no hookahs, and the veranda was closed, although they expected to spend time there. Overall, the place is good

A good restaurant. The food is delicious. The prices are adequate for a tourist destination. Booking day-to-day is no problem. The location is very good.
We've been here twice. The first time everything was generally perfect, and the second time there was a feeling of some chaos. It seemed that the waiters had lost their feet and were already poorly controlling the situation with orders, requests and wishes of numerous guests.
But, in general, I recommend it.

I am surprised by the top five on Yandex Maps, an absolutely average restaurant even for Bukhara. Everything from the noughties, especially the atmosphere - low-grade songs playing in the background, a wall of photos of the owner with famous people in the owner's opinion, tired furniture, waiters performing their duties smoothly, no more. The lack of soul and joy in this restaurant is probably due to the fact that the season has not started yet, but there is no desire to return at all.
Meal. It's fine, it's delicious enough, but no more.
It seems like everything is acceptable and without problems, but passing by turned out to be a passable, unmemorable place for me.

I highly recommend it. We tried half the menu - everything is very tasty. And, importantly, it is quite budget-friendly for the price. We will definitely come back here on our next trip to Bukhara!

It's a great restaurant, everything is insanely delicious. The staff is nimble, smiling, responsive. It is popular with both locals and tourists, so it is better to book tables in advance. There is a beautiful panoramic view from the outdoor veranda.

Great. I really liked the mutton. I've never eaten like this anywhere, apparently I had no luck with the chefs. The service is excellent. Great lady receptionist. She led everyone as a conductor of the orchestra. She managed to help with a very efficient waiter. With a full landing, everything is well done, both the kitchen and the hall. I highly recommend it

Fast service, friendly staff. We ordered mutton kebab 5 pieces, 2 of them were fat, but the kebab itself is soft and juicy. I didn't like Manta rays, but I don't like them anywhere. We ordered a beef kebab with French fries, but it looks like meatballs more, the traditional soup is very tasty. In general, I recommend the place, it is very atmospheric.

A great place👍 When I visit Bukhara, I definitely go there. The food is very tasty, and the atmosphere is also very pleasant. The only remark, as it seemed to me, is that the staff clearly and openly filters between "Tourist" and "Not a tourist". Maybe it's the tip.(although personally I always leave)But still, if you are not a tourist, you will notice the difference that the attitude towards you will be a little dismissive, even to the point of ignoring, and a few staff dances and bends in front of tourists. But I still put 5 stars.
Made you an advertisement for tourists 😂😅🤘
P.S. I visit Bukhara every month, so I made this conclusion, far from the only visit

Great location, delicious food, helpful and courteous staff, authentic atmosphere, and very pleasant prices. Slightly uncomfortable benches on the roof. I haven't tried to sit on the ground floor. The second level has an indescribable view in the evening. Be sure to visit at least once.

An incredible place, delicious cuisine, almost always a full landing. What kind of view opens to the city, I highly recommend the tapchan on the top level: it is convenient and everything is in sight 👌🏻
Special thanks for the delicious meat dishes and pilaf.

It is a very pleasant place, but the table must be booked in advance. Amazing meat, excellent shurpa, good cheeses, delicious. Bread too. Everything is fine, great, thanks! The wine is good, the vegetables are fresh. A wide variety of menus, for every taste. It won't be long. In general, my favorite place in Bukhara. Thank you.

The food was acceptable, but I expected more from an establishment with such a rating and prices. bread was not offered, as well as sour cream for dumplings. We've digested the dumplings ourselves, why add something to the menu that you can't cook normally? What is baklava with condensed milk anyway?
but the height of negligence is to put the menu, which was lying unknown where before and who touched it with what hands, on glasses from which unsuspecting people will then drink. Ugh.

Our entire team (8 people) was unanimously recognized as the best visited restaurant in Uzbekistan. We were at three more in Tashkent and three in Samarkand. Kebabs, manti, samsa, salads, baklava - everything is great. And what a view from the terrace. Well, a separate respect to the head waiter (I don't know how else to call him), he's great. Alcohol is expensive compared to other restaurants in Uzbekistan, but that's nonsense. By the way, the tea is brewed from a placer, and not from a bag, as everywhere else.

One of the best Uzbek restaurants I've been to. The national cuisine is represented in all its diversity. Everything is delicious, made from the freshest products. No wonder Zhirinovsky was fed here at one time. The interior, of course, has a national flavor. The price tag, despite the high standards, is very democratic
