Old City Restaurant

Old City Restaurant is a restaurant at 100/1 Abdurahmon Jomiy Street, Samarkand, Uzbekistan, serving Uzbek food. It has traditional decor in the old part of the city and outdoor seating, and appears on several visitor guides. The menu is traditional Uzbek: plov, shashlik and steamed manti. 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 80,000–220,000 UZS (~$6.7–18) per person at the Central Bank rate of roughly 12,000 UZS per US dollar, with tea usually inexpensive and drinks extra. No booking is needed for small parties. It is on Jomiy Street, in the Old City near the main monuments. 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.
