About this restaurant

Innovative
Romantic
Good for special occasions

Gem of the East, Samarkand, will offer Uzbek cuisine evocative of the Silk Road, serving traditional dishes with a contemporary touch. Open for both lunch and dinner, Samarkand will be the capital’s first destination restaurant celebrating this part of the world where a melting pot of cultures combine to produce a rousing fusion of flavours and is set to attract foodies from across the city eager to sample this unique style of cooking.

Signature dishes on the menu will include traditional favourites Jiz Biz (lamb chops with sautéed potatoes), Fatirnon (a flaky, buttery bread), Somsa (pastry parcel filled with lamb or sweet potato), and the Samarkand signature Plov (a classic Uzbekistan dish of steamed rice served with lamb, beef and vegetables), which is is perfect for sharing. There will also be a selection of bar snacks such as pickled vegetables and Baklajan (smoky aubergine caviar) on offer.

We went as we found a 50% off deal, going at a slightly strange time the restaurant was quite empty, however service was friendly and the food delicious. All our dishes were delightful and the great value for money. The dumplings were exceptional and the lamb a delight, spiced well and cooked to perfection.

The food was great, good venue in terms of decor, bar area and good service. Was lucky enough to go when they had 50% off cocktails at the bar and then 50% off food.

Great place, it was pretty quiet when we went there, but it was early, there was still a great atmosphere. Our waitress was super helpful at explaining all the dishes to us, and we went with her recommendations and were not disappointed. The aubergine starter was delish! Was happy with the meal and would definitely go back again to try some of their other main dishes.

This place is fantastic. Definitely go to the bar before your meal, there is a great vodka menu with lots of really interesting infusions. Mini martinis are a great idea, let's you try a few things. The food was top notch, very interesting flavours. They mentioned to us a new menu soon which sounded good too. And the staff were all really on the ball and friendly. We will definitely be back.
