Chaikhana Rohat
Чойхонаи Роҳат
A large Soviet-era traditional teahouse on Rudaki Avenue, where you can eat plov, shashlik and sambusa beneath carved wooden columns and painted ceilings.
Rohat Teahouse is Dushanbe's most famous traditional teahouse, built in the 1950s. Its painted ceilings, carved wooden columns and open terrace reflect traditional Tajik architectural style. The menu includes oshi palov (plov), shashlik, lagman noodles, sambusa, kurutob (the Tajik national dish of flatbread and yogurt salad) and green tea, and prices are modest. It gets very busy with locals at lunchtime, and service can be slow. The coordinates are taken from the bus stop of the same name on Rudaki Avenue, so confirm the exact entrance on site.
