Tashkent Restaurants

  1. Café Sharshara

    Chaikhana real estate comes no riper than the canal-side patch occupied by this popular Old Town stand-by. The sprawling patio is cooled by gentle mist from the rumbling man-made waterfall on premises, making it an almost perfect warm-weather spot for a shashlyk and a cold Shimkent. There's live evening entertainment in the warm months.
