Joy chaikhana lounge

One of the best dinners we had in Uzbekistan. Great selection of national dishes, and everything we ordered was excellent. The atmosphere was nice, the location pleasant, and we even enjoyed some live music. Super reasonable price. A special thanks to our waiter, Mikhail, for his outstanding service.

Exceptional - especially for vegetarians, with a wonderful selection of dumplings, fresh salads and herbs, an absolutely gorgeous aubergine salad, beers, wines, etc. Beautifully set in an octagonal courtyard, a joy indeed for those of us who have been on the road. Highly recommended.

I ate here each day I was in Bukhara because the food was fresh and delicious. The staff were all attentive and warm. Located in a historical building steps away from a center square in Old Town you are transformed into a peaceful and relaxed environment. The fresh ice teas and cold beer really hit the spot after wandering in the heat. Each time I visited I was allowed to relax and slowly enjoy my meal and drinks while sitting in very comfortable chairs. There is a non-smoking area that has a/c with a large window and pretty view. Great place to relax and enjoy

Need a reservation for big groups. If no reservation you may need to wait about 20min. Food was really really good! It takes a bit of time to prepare but I think that’s because everything is made to order. Big space, 2 sides, 2 levels, very clean. We ordered several dishes and everything was great…super fresh! Highly recommend.

Absolutely the best restaurant I’ve ever been to, anywhere in the world. The atmosphere is warm and beautiful, the live Uzbek music is breathtaking, and every dish was a delight. You genuinely want to try the whole menu. Service is flawless, and Azizbek deserves special praise: the most attentive, kind, and professional waiter I’ve ever had. A perfect experience from start to finish. I’d come back to Bukhara just for this.

The wait staff is charming and attentive. The food top quality and a wide variety of Uzbekistan food. The building is modern, clean, and attractive. A note about Uzbek baklava; it’s not as sweet as the Turkish or Greek version, and not as many crisp layers of dough. It goes well with the green tea.

This restaurant is a bit touristy, but I really enjoyed it. It has a unique layout — an air-conditioned room with natural sunlight and a terrace overlooking beautiful decor. The menu offers a great variety of dishes, all nicely presented. Portions are on the smaller side, but that just means you can try more — which I loved!

Great food! I loved the spinach dumplings. You can listen to live music during dinner from 8-10pm, but you have to have a reservation cause the tables were already booked out. Thanks Anisa for the good service!
