The food was delicious. We tried a few plates suggested by our guide and we loved all of them. The staff was very welcoming and helpful.

Great place with excellent value for money. The portions are big, and everything we tried was tasty. Their plov could be the best in the city; the meat was really tender and perfectly cooked, not dry at all, which is surprisingly hard to …

Green noodles were good. Middle prices and good service and close to color show. For two we paid 18 usd bill (hot meals, two beers and dessert with tea)

The servers were very kind and helpful! Although the service was a little slow, it looked like they were backed up in the kitchen. The food was good and it's a nice place where you can sit inside and outside. Despite having to wait a while we were satisfied with our food.

Great restaurant located in one of the main squares in Khiva. The food is good and the prices are along the lines of any other tourist restaurant in the country

I think this is a must-go in Khiva. The restaurant itself is located in an antique building, so there is that historic feel to it (although that will be the standard experience in Khiva) there is a very thoughtful effort to make the ambiance of the dining hall a great match to its historic status. Traditional Uzbek crafts and fabrics make it grand and sophisticated. Although it looks very expensive, the food is reasonably priced and everything Uzbek you would ever want is available on its menu. We had our first green lachman (dill and herby dough), which is a Khiva specialty, at Zarafshon. We also had assorted dumplings and I really loved my meal there.
