OSHQAND

OSHQAND is a popular pilaf center restaurant in Samarkand, specializing in one of the most iconic dishes of Uzbek cuisine. The restaurant is located on Zarafshon Shokh Street and is familiar to many as a place where high-quality pilaf is served in a traditional style.

The interior of the restaurant is quite simple and functional: a spacious hall designed for dining visits, the atmosphere is focused on taste, not luxury. It is customary to come here in order to focus on food — mainly on the main dish-pilaf, which is prepared in large portions and served without many unnecessary options.

The OSHQAND menu is minimalistic: guests choose salad and bread, and then they are served a portion of freshly prepared pilaf, cooked in the Samarkand way — with flavor, meat (more often beef) and a characteristic serving. This focus on one or two dishes makes the restaurant especially attractive to those who want to taste the "real" pilaf in Samarkand.

OSHQAND is a good place to have lunch on a weekday when you want simplicity, quality and taste without unnecessary complications.
