Samarkand Restaurant
Uzbeki restaurant
🫤 restaurant is nice. but unfortunately the price is not written on the English menu. I guess they offer different price for tourists. So I had to get up without eating. please write the prices in the English menu. this is more reliable.

👍 A large & nicely decorated restaurant. Food is good. English menu is not available & waiters do not speak English, we managed with body language as the menu has food photos. We had lunch - Radish salad, pilaf, beef kebab.

Samarkand International Airport
International airport
😠 When we landed everything was normal but when flying back at check-in the staff was too rude. He probably didn't know how to the job right. Tashkent Airport is much better than that. I chose Samarkand Airport because I'm from Samarkand but unfortunately I didn't know that the staff is way too rude...

Emirhan restaurant

👍👍 Lovely restaurant with a rooftop overlooking the back of the Registan. The food was very nice and reasonably priced. The view was the reason for coming here and the rooftop terrace is huge. It’s a great place to sit back and admire the beauty of Samarkand.

Bibikhanum Teahouse
Restaurant
😠 Food was terrible, very touristic place with a lot of group tours. Our waiter with a particular "character" was rude and tried to charge us more. When we asked for the bill, he calculated on his phone the price: 180.000 Som. We did not find it quite right as we did not order much. We insisted to see...

Bumazhnaya Fabrika "Meros"
Tourist attraction
👍 A tourist center reenacting the ancient art of paper making. They sell various crafts made from mulberry paper, which apparently will not fall apart when wet. Would not trust it in British weather but if you like living on the edge this is the place for you!
