Ayvan Restaurant
Ayvan
Housed in an 1886 Jewish merchant's mansion, this restaurant's lunch-only Bukharian plov is a reason to visit in its own right.
Located inside the Lyabi House Hotel (7 N. Khusainov Street), the building is an 1886 Bukharian Jewish merchant's mansion, featuring an indoor dining room and a terrace open during the warm season. The menu mainly consists of international dishes, so it is recommended to visit at lunchtime for local food: Bukharian plov is only served from 12:00 to 16:00, costing around 55,000 UZS, and reviews mention it is cooked with chickpeas and barberries. Reservations are required for dining after 18:00 and can be made via WhatsApp. It is adjacent to the Lyabi-Khauz pool and within walking distance.
Opening hours
Daily 08:00-23:00, plov only 12:00-16:00
