It's a very atmospheric place. A tree in the center of the hall. Kaluarno. After the noise of the shopping malls, it's very nice to come in and relax. Live music in the evening.
The food is average without frills.
I do not recommend beef in any form. Manta rays, beef could not be chewed. Of the 4, we barely managed to cope with one.
It's the same in pilaf, the beef is tough. The rice itself is very tasty cooked. You can say vegan pilaf.
The salads are delicious, but the serving/appearance is at the dining room level.
Location and atmosphere.
The cafe is right in the courtyard of a small madrasah. Outside there is a small square with a pond and several carts to enhance the surroundings. In general, it looks pleasant and atmospheric.
The price tag.
Above average.
Shurpa (its equivalent) - 26,000.
Bread - 6,000.
Second courses from 40,000 (there are a couple cheaper, for example, 32-38, but also much more expensive).
Assortment.
The range is extended-standard for local cuisine) There are 10 salads, the same number of second courses, including different kebabs and three first courses.
Portion size.
The portion of soup is the smallest I have ever seen in Uzbekistan and there are three slices of meat inside (less than a standard piece).
To make it clear about the size, I took the first course, pita bread and the second. And everything fit into me easily. In Tashkent, in most of the restaurants and cafes I visited, one dish was enough: pilaf or lagman, for example. And it was difficult to put something else into yourself after them.
Soup is a bowl. Twice as many small tea bowls.
Taste.
The taste of the shurpa analogue was standardly pleasant. The second one turned out to be terribly salty. It was chicken in soy sauce with stewed vegetables.
In general, it is quite good, both in terms of the amount of chicken and vegetables. But it's terribly salty.
Result.
Of course, I would like to put three and a half points here. But I can only put whole ones, and it's not clear from one time whether this is a pattern with the quality of cooking or not. I'll leave 4.
Where else can you have dinner in a Madrasah of some century?!)
The birds are singing, the food is all delicious, the prices are excellent, cold drinks are cold.
We got great pleasure from visiting this institution.
