Old City

Samarkand


This charming place in the Russian part of town is recommended for its interesting dishes, such as basturma cold smoked beef, lavash (flat bread) with feta-like brinza cheese, and over 40 salads, including a delicious beetroot and walnut option. Service is friendly and assured, the classy interior has a cosy fireplace, and while it caters largely to tourists, standards are high.
