Old Bukhara
A long-standing favorite for tour groups in the Old Town, featuring a beautiful environment and an English menu, making it suitable for first-time travelers to Bukhara.
A well-established restaurant located at 3 Samarkand Street, with over a thousand reviews on Tripadvisor and a rating of around 3.9. The terrace offers views of Old Town landmarks. The signature dish is lamb chop vaguri (around 190,000 UZS for a multi-person portion), along with Bukharian jizz (fried meat) and bichak pastries. It is very popular with tour groups, so booking in advance by phone or in person is recommended. Reviews differ on value for money and portion sizes: some feel it is overpriced and slow to serve, while a September 2026 review claimed it was worth the money. Note that there is a break in the afternoon.
