Casual shashlik choyxona with several branches.
Ikrom Choyxonasi is a choyxona at Mirsayfi Rajabov Street 56, Samarkand, Uzbekistan, serving Uzbek grill (shashlik) food. It is a casual shashlik teahouse known for an unusual kebab; reviewers describe it as local and unpretentious. Listing sites give conflicting addresses because it has more than one branch. Order shashlik by the skewer with fresh bread and onion salad. Opening hours are listed as daily, roughly 10:00–23:00 (verify). No reliable phone number was found, so the venue should be confirmed on a map app before travelling. A typical meal costs about 40,000–120,000 UZS (~$3.3–10) per person at the Central Bank rate of roughly 12,000 UZS per US dollar, with tea usually inexpensive and drinks extra. No reservations are normally needed. Confirm the branch address on a map app before travelling. Payment is by cash in Uzbek som or by card at most sit-down venues, and a service charge of about 10 percent is sometimes added to the bill, so a glance at the receipt avoids double tipping. Lunch tends to be calmer than the evening rush, and the Samarkand summer heat from June to August makes shaded or air-conditioned seating worth asking for.
