Platan
The main dining facility here - a sort of tropical-style, thatched-roof yurt - counts as one of Samarkand's stranger structures. The menu, which includes Arabian-, Thai- and Egyptian-style meat dishes, is no less charismatic, but all dishes are cooked-to-order and tasty.

Kishmish
Another traditional-style place, this one with outdoor seating for 200 people. It was in the middle of a management change when we visited, but word is that new management will maintain the elaborate nightly floor shows that are its main draw.

Karambek
This traditional restaurant trounces touristy Oasis restaurant in Navoi Park. The national- and Russian-influenced cuisine is surprisingly good, and can be enjoyed in a variety of settings, from private country hut to airy street-side patio.

Kochevnik
This Korean eatery is ideally situated near Lyabi-Hauz and complements its Asian fare with Russian food. Lest you be sceptical about its authenticity, it's co-owned by an ethnic Korean.

Yulduz Chaikhana
Another popular chaikhana, this one is near the Ulugbek Observatory. The menu is the same as at Lyabi Gor or any other chaikhana.
