Elegant Turkish-Uzbek halal restaurant.
Khan Ahmad Restaurant is a restaurant at 66 Ibn Sina Street, Samarkand, Uzbekistan, serving Turkish, Uzbek and halal food. The restaurant has an elegant hall suited to business meetings and quiet family meals, and it advertises halal food. Turkish grills sit alongside Uzbek dishes on the menu. Opening hours are listed as daily 11:00–23:30. The phone number given for the venue is +998 97 926 00 00; numbers on listing sites sometimes differ from reality, so a call before a special trip is sensible. A typical meal costs about 90,000–230,000 UZS (~$7.5–19) per person at the Central Bank rate of roughly 12,000 UZS per US dollar, with tea usually inexpensive and drinks extra. Booking by phone is normally unnecessary except for groups. It is on Ibn Sina Street, close to the plov centre at number 12. 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.
