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!

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.

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.

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.

Cozy, authentic, delicious restaurant!
We were in Bukhara for four days, and on the first day we accidentally went to Old Bukhara. I really liked everything! The atmosphere and cuisine in the restaurant are suitable for all 10 balls. Young lamb meat-vaguri, pilaf, shikarob, tortillas, local beer 🤤
We tried other restaurants, but our favorite was Old Bukhara. In the evenings, our whole company unanimously chose this particular restaurant!

It's beautiful and delicious. The waiters are very friendly and pleasant to talk to. The food is different, there are local, European and Georgian dishes.
It is better to arrive around 19 or even earlier. They'll serve you faster. At 20, all the tables are occupied, the waiters don't have time. We waited the longest for the bill :-)
The table needs to be ordered in advance, there are practically no empty ones

Pleasant authentic atmosphere, great cuisine! It is better to book the table in advance, we only got there for the 2nd day.
Unfortunately, I have to adjust my initial review.
The salads were served on time, and we were not surprised.
The mantas are beyond praise, but the fried lagman was completely disappointing (this is not lagman, but pasta in the navy).
The peak of the evening was a showdown with physical abuse among the waiters, with a full house of guests.
In terms of service, maybe it was a special case, and we just happened to be witnesses, but this is the worst place for service out of the many that we visited in Uzbekistan. It's not the main guest here, but the haughty waiters, which is somehow not even typical for hospitable Uzbekistan.
In general, there is a lot of PR, but in fact it is 4 with a minus.

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.

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 :))

Some people like Samarkand, some like Khiva. But in my opinion, Old Bukhara embodies historical Uzbekistan and Central Asia most identically. Ark Citadel, Bolokhovuz, Poi-Kalyan complex, Lyabi-Khovuz ensemble, many ancient mosques, madrasahs, narrow picturesque streets, ruins and souvenir shops. And all this is within walking distance. I'm not even talking about cafes and food. Everything is very tasty. Friendly attitude towards tourists

It's a very nice restaurant. I recommend. Delicious, fast, cozy, friendly staff, with a sense of humor. The most delicious shish kebab is prepared here. Both adults and children were satisfied. 🔥🔥🔥

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.

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.

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🙌🏻♥️

Pros: it's a very beautiful place.
There are tables on the 2nd floor with sunset views
Minuses:
Maybe I was unlucky, but I'm writing the way it was.
The order was accepted and we waited 40 minutes for it.
For some reason, they served the Chinese first , who came much later than us.
I ordered cabbage soup, shish kebab, salad and a non-alcoholic mojito.
The mojito arrived quickly, but you can't call it just a mojito.
Then the wait started at 40 minutes.
The soup arrived, and at first I thought someone had already eaten it. It was poured into a small bowl at the bottom.
Of course, we refused the order and went to our favorite other place.
Some large dishes are quite expensive.
I don't recommend it, I won't go on my own.

Fairy tale. It's a very atmospheric place, especially in the evening and on the veranda. The cuisine is delicious, the price tag is a bit high and is designed for tourists, of whom there are a lot and it is difficult to find a place in the season without reservations.

Delicious. We were with a tour group, so the lunch was set, not a la carte. Manti made from the finest dough are amazing, delicious and varied snacks. I am sure that the dishes on the menu will be even more interesting.

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

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.

We've been to this rooftop restaurant. Of course, there are places on the ground floors, but it's more pleasant to have dinner under the eastern starry sky!

It's a great place. We liked everything very much. I'll put 4 for the service, because they delay a little with the serving or an additional order (if you ask to bring a clean fork, for example). Yes, there are a lot of people, but more than once I noticed that the guys were standing and "dreaming."
