Zaytun Restaurant
Зайтун
A Tajik restaurant decorated with Silk Road motifs, where you can try javari bean soup, a Khujand specialty.
Located upstairs from the AMID supermarket on Syr Darya Street. The walls are painted with Silk Road motifs, the waiters wear traditional dress, and there is a terrace, an English menu and English-speaking staff. It specializes in traditional Tajik food, and travel bloggers especially recommend javari bean soup, a Khujand-only dish made with local beans, onion, carrot, mung beans and herbs. Tour groups often come here, and most reviews are positive, though some find the food average. Prices are mid-range, and it is open long hours every day.
