Great authentic Uzbek food, finally available in the Twin Cities! Good service, Russian language spoken, beautiful videos of Uzbekistan shown instead of some random NBA game. Very generous pour of wine, excellent kebabs (most places around they are too dry). Chicken kebabs and borscht recommended for kids.

Really wonderful restaurant in every way. The food was really succulent and delicious, but still reasonably priced. Service was great. Ambiance is very pleasant with mellow lighting and traditional decoration. Loved the cabbage rolls and plov, so flavorful and rich without being greasy. The kabobs we had were perfectly grilled and seasoned. Ideal date night location by the movie theater! Loved the honey cake. We will be back to try the other desserts.

My first time with Uzbek cuisine. Wonderful photo murals evoke enormous constrasts of the Silk Road, the Turan Plain, the rapid changes in the Aral Sea, cotton, silkworms, high speed train from Tashkent to Samarkand, and the new rail link from Pakistan to Kasakstan via Afghanistan.The food is terrific and the service excellent. Will return.

Food in Samarkand was decent and fresh and well seasoned. The bread and the pasta dish ( I think it was lahmun?) was the highlight and was very good. However the atmosphere has something left to be desired as there were some flies bothering my lunch. Nevertheless the restaurant had a very homey vibe and pretty chill. Service times were a bit too slow but was understandable as the place stemmed to be understaffed. Overall a decent experience

Another example of immigrants making America even better. SAMARKAND is named after the second largest Uzbek city. Originally a capital city captured by Alexander the Great in 329 BC.

As an Uzbek , let me tell you this place is great . It is hard to get the food right and unfortunately having tried out many other Uzbek places , I have always walked out disappointed. But not in this place . Food is authentic, fresh, cooked just right and delicious . The atmosphere is also great and clean place . Service is amazing and attentive . Little on the expensive side but for me it was worth it . Highly recommend checking out .

If you’re looking for a cultural dining experience, look no further than Samarkand! I recently dined at this restaurant and was blown away by the authentic Uzbek cuisine and lively atmosphere. Our meat platter was a meat lover’s dream, with plenty of food for two people and leftovers to spare. Every bite was packed with flavor, making it a standout dish. But what really impressed me was the dessert, medovik. It was the perfect way to end the meal, with its rich, sweet flavor.

Really pleasant restaurant! My first time having Uzbekistan cuisine but there are some ‘familiar’ Eastern European and Middle Eastern dishes like borscht, shawarma, dumplings, and kebabs plus some great traditional Uzbeki dishes. Everything seemed made with care and with great ingredients and flavors. Great service and nice experience getting a glimpse into culture and food of this central Asian country.

Very delicious and authentic Turkic food. Lagman(and Uygur dish) is amazing here. My favorites are Samsa( Uzbeki dish) as appetizer; and Uzbeki Plow.
