Good, although very fancy

We felt a little out of place and maybe even uncomfortable here as it is very fancy. The restaurant is expensive, but the vegan dishes are pretty affordable. Although not really our place, the food is very delicious and the service outstanding.

diverse tasty food

Went here motivated by the vegetarian menu and because they used the word ‘vegan’.

The place is nice, feels a bit up-scale. Not that I was looking for that, but that came as a side effect.

We ordered vegan shawarma vegan, tofu unagi and some rice rolls with chopped vegetables.

All food was tasty, tho they brought the dishes not at once but one every ~15 minutes or so. Totally fine.

While there are lots of very pricey dishes, vegan ones are a bit more acceptably priced. E.g. the vegan shawarma pita was 50,000 som.

The bathroom was nice.

The place is totally above average for vegans and alike in the area.

Pros: various options

Cons: pricey

Disappointed

One of my orders was messed up and I was served the meat version. It's really a shame because the other dishes I tried were good.

Highly recommended

I am not a fan of super fancy restaurants but due to a very few good vegan experiences, one must consider this place for a quality dining.
The menu is quite extensive and we wanted to try as many as possible.
Imho, tom yum pasta is not really worth it but the rest of the food was just 👌

Cons: Too formal and fancy, feels excessive , On the expensive side, Double check if vegan and not vegetarian

Amazing food and atmosphere

Upscale restaurant with beautiful decor and service. I ordered three SPECTACULAR dishes.
- Vegan Shwarma
- Hummus platter
- Veggie samsa

The staff speak English, and the menu is also in English. The prices reflect the quality of the food but are still reasonable.

Absolutely worth the visit. I highly recommend it. I would give it 5 stars but Happy Cow reserves that for only fully vegan places.

Pros: Great location, Amazing food, Wonderful service

superb

Located in the modern Part of the City, surrounded by some upper class Hotels this Place appears to be one of the few upscale Restaurants with vegan options. Expensive for Taschkent but still affordable compared to european prices. Despite the price the food was very good, there was a separate vegetarian Menu on which most of the items were vegan and the service was very friendly as well as english speaking

Restaurant with Vegetarian options

Its a sit down restaurant with large tables. They have a long menu including some veg and vegan options.
Vegetarian menu included hot and cold appetizers, main courses, salads and desserts.
I tried the buckwheat noodle soup with falafel and tofu, pumpkin samsa and spinach and mushroom samsas.
While the noodle soup was nice, I didnt enjoy the samsas as much. I have had better samsas from Tashkent.

Pros: Vegetarian options , Good seating capacity , Suitable for big groups with mixed dietary require

Cons: No small tables available

Superb

This was by far the best food I've had in Central Asia so far. The place is quite fancy (and pretty), the staff speaks English or if not they call someone who does, and they are very friendly. I had the tofu with vegetables and the shawarma pita, both super flavorful and incredibly good.

Delicious Vegan Options

We had the tofu sandwich, and tofu quesadilla. Lots of vegan options for a restaurant in Tashkent. Very happy with the taste!

Pros: Tofu sandwich, Attentive servers, Spoke great English

Cons: Slightly expensive for the region but worth it

Best vegan options I found in Uzbekistan

Of the 8 days I spent in Uzbekistan this was definitely the spot with the most vegan options I found. The menu book is huge - just skip to the back, there's a vegetarian section. We had a tomato salad, tabbouleh salad, two tofu dishes and these rice paper rolls with pumpkin. The pumpkin things were not good, don't get those. Everything else was pretty nice. Not the best tofu you'll have in your life but there is tofu!

The service is quite slow and disorganized, so just go in with that in mind. It's an upscale place, folks were dressed pretty nice.

High-End Dining Experience w/ Lots of Vegan Options

Fancy restaurant with a substantial English menu featuring a large Veg section. Many items are vegan or can be made vegan. The staff is attentive & the place itself is very lovely. A little pricey for Uzbek standards but if you can read this you can afford it. Regardless you’ll be getting a fine dining experience, it’s the type of restaurant that has two different forks with the place setting & serves water in a wine glass. Perfect date spot. I was not on a date, I was alone. But maybe one day things will be different and I’ll know just the place in Tashkent!

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Diverse cuisine , High end

Good- a little expensive

The interior is really beautiful. The waiters were attentive and friendly. I enjoyed the food- a buckwheat noodle soup, tofu with veg, , vegan pita. The mango rice paper rolls were ok, but expensive. Good tea and lemonade

I would definitely go back!
