Tourist-oriented restaurant next to the Registan; check prices.
Registan Restaurant is a restaurant at 5 Registanskaya Street, Samarkand, Uzbekistan, serving Uzbek food. Located near the Registan, it is geared to tour groups, and Tripadvisor reviewers rate it low, calling it a tourist trap. It is listed because of its location, but prices should be checked before sitting down. Standard Uzbek dishes are on offer. 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 100,000–300,000 UZS (~$8.3–25) 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. The Registan is a short walk away. 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.
