Sirius Restaurant

Sirius Restaurant is a restaurant at 34 Mironshah Mirzo Street, Samarkand, Uzbekistan, serving Uzbek, European and Pan-Asian food. The restaurant has a stylish interior and a terrace near the main sights, and service is described as attentive. A wide menu mixes Uzbek, European and Pan-Asian dishes, and it is one of few places serving food until the early hours. Opening hours are listed as daily 12:00–03:00. The phone number given for the venue is +998 90 192 70 00; numbers on listing sites sometimes differ from reality, so a call before a special trip is sensible. A typical meal costs about 90,000–250,000 UZS (~$7.5–21) per person at the Central Bank rate of roughly 12,000 UZS per US dollar, with tea usually inexpensive and drinks extra. Walk-ins are normally accepted; terrace tables on summer evenings are best reserved. The main sights are within walking distance. 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.
