Yummy mantis & salads

Went back here twice because the zucchini mantis were so good! Just have them without sourcream. Also, many of the salads are vegan — we had both the carrot salad and ”fresh salad”. Make sure to ask the server for ”vegetarian” ”without sour cream” - they didn’t understand ”vegan” and first came back with meat mantis.

Some nice vegan options

They were nice and could recommend some vegan options out of their menu (they can adapt). Lovely!

Ok for convenience

Near Registan so convenient, but just average. Menu has a vegetarian dumpling page but I'm unsure if the page next to it is also vegetarian. Pumpkin dumplings portion was fairly large (big ish) but tasted so bland for me. Didn't enjoy. Ordered a soup on the next page but unfortunately arrived with meat, my mistake not to double check. Pickled Cucumbers were boring from a tin. Yoghurt was also nothing special. Service was busy and slow. Won't go there again but at least has a few vegetarian options.

Nice

Next door to Bibi-Khanym Mosque, this is a good option for food if you’re staying around this area. I ordered a fresh salad and Potato Somsa. Prices are good. Vibe is nice.

Good prices and food

A decent place to get some simple food, got the pumpkin mantis and baked potatoes, both without sour cream. Food was good and they are understanding and helpful regarding veganism.

A wonderful place

It's my absolute favourite restaurant in Samarkand. I tried all of their vegetarian manti and it was spectacular.

Nice courtyard and great vegan options

I tried the soup as well as the salad and the pumpkin manti. All was nice and a good option here in Samarkand. Also great choices for non vegan.

Nice atmosfeer, okay food

The food is good, the vegetarian and vegan options are fine. It is a nice place to sit and relax you can choose for the tradional Uzbek seating. Alas the toilets are not too clean, whilst you have to pay for them.

Good options for Central Asia standards

This place was super cute with a nice cozy outdoor vibe. For food I got the pumpkin mani and cabbage rolls which were pretty average but amazing by central Asian vegan standards. I would definitely recommend this place to a vegan/vegetarian travelling in Samarkand !

Good restaurant

The food is quite good and there are a few options possible to get vegan. Try to make clear if you have specific wishes for your meal, because not everyone speaks english there. The restaurant is very beautiful designed!

A bit pricey, but good portions

I really liked the veggie shashlik, I found that it has been seasoned really nicely and the veggies were juicy. The pumpkin manti were okay, a bit oily for my taste and not very flavourful, but the portion was double what I got at the place across the street (and the price was lower). Service was fast and very attentive. For 6 manti, one skewer, half bread, tea and turkish coffee it cost 114K - on the high side but not the highest I've seen. Cute courtyard space. Would return.

Quite nice

We took many things and especially the pumpkin mantis. Good service and globally good food. There are English menus and the team speaks a little English
We ordered some bread, was just cooked and so delicious!

Nous avons pris, entre autres, les mantis à la citrouille. Globalement bon et service agréable. Il y a des menus en anglais et l'équipe parle un peu anglais aussi.

Very good manti and somsa!

The pumpkin manti are delicious (ask no cream), as well as the potato somsa. The manti comes by 6 and the somsa are individual portion. They also make very good coffee (I try the turkish and the arabic). The place is beautifull and located near to the market. Its easy to talk in english and they understand what vegan is.

Good manti

I had pumpkin manti, tasty and fulfilling. Yogurt luckily comes on the side. Big portion.
Then I also had rice soup, with potatoes, carrots and chickpeas, very simple but good

A bit tasteless, even salt won’t help😅. Rice soup comes with yoghurt, ask without when ordering

The food was not tasty😒I thought it’s hard to fail sate veggies but they managed to.

The service is very nice and place is located in good place, but don’t go there for the food

Mantis were good tho! With potato and pumpkin. It comes with sour cream, ask different sauce instead (maybe some tomato).

Rice soup comes with yoghurt, tell them you have allergy at milk/ yoghurt
