Khodsha Nasreddin v Bukhare: Usbek food

inside the restaurant

This restaurant has a very special Usbek decoration. You feel like your in 1001 nights. Every now and then the music is suddenly turned up and 3 belly dancers come to entertain the guests. Some table are not western style tables but usbek style where you take off your shoes and sort of sit like on a bed with a low table on top of it.

Sometimes the whole restaurant is booked for a wedding.

Favorite Dish: As usual I like eating shashlik but also vegetarians can find something to eat vegetable wise or fish. Food is delicious but not cheap.

Isn't that cute!

The waiters were dressed in Ukrainian peasent garb and fun music played. The staff was really friendly, and it was small, intimate, cozy, well-lit. Really a family/friends oriented fun place.

Decorated like a Ukrainian farm house. Colorful, cheery!

Favorite Dish: Everything I had was completely new to me and all in Ukrainian or Russian, neither of which do I speak at ALL. I had a bread with egg baked into it somehow, and tried the smoked ham fat on bread with a mustardy-horseradishy sauce and some interesting brewed beverage.

Go with a local, let them order for you, "smile and eat it!" as my dad says!

The courtyard

Nice place in the center of the city. My friend called me up and invited to have a little dinner in the restaurant. We had beer and light meal, just for talking. Besides that Saturday evening was funny because the orchestra was there and we enjoyed it (the special price for it is RUR 200). In good weather, you see, it's possible to seat in the courtyard and enjoy music, sky and planes flying in the sky.

Favorite Dish: If to be true, maybe cause of hot weather that evening, my favorite was beer :-)).

Petrovich: Stylish artistic places-2

3.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

Anya_D 201 reviews

This is another my favourite place. 'Petrovich' is the patronymic popular in Russia (if your father is Peter, you are Petrovich). Also, this patronimic means a lot in the modern soviet folklore... oh, you must really be a Russian to fully understand it!!! But do not be scared: you will understand it immediately as you step into this restaurant (they call it a 'club', on weekends you may not get in without a club card). But you can always get freely there for lunch, which are cheap (6 dollars).

Favorite Dish: This is very Russian cuisine. The interior is amazing. Live music plays. Ask your Russian friends to take you there: it is rather lost in Myasnitskaya lanes. But it is worth a visit, no doubt, both for food and atmosphere.

Dyadya Vanya ('Uncle Vanya'): Stylish artictic places-1

This is one of my favourite places, located in a theater on Bolshaya Dmitrovka, and named after a title of a famous Chekhov play. It is relatively small, very cosy and intimate in atmosphere.

Favorite Dish: Menu includes rather european dishes, with a tendency to Russian cuisine. You can also have a lunch there: it is only 8 dollars, and very nutritious and delicious.
