Zirbak — Restaurant in Dushanbe

I used to like this restaurant for lovely ethnical environment, but got dissapointed this time. There were no any kind of kababs ready during lunch time. They bring menu but on ordering food they answer "not yet available". Tables were very greasy, dirty, lightly wiped after previous customer. Service is very slow. Chaykhana plov was outstanding, but lagman was served cold. We order pot of tea as well, but it was ways too sugary and on asking the waiter about it, he just said "well, we poured syrup in it" and didn't bother to replace it or remove its charge from the bill. Order desk service even worst. They are too slow to accept take away orders, neglecting waiting customers. The staff job is not coordinated, they even argue and brawl with each other in front of customers. If these issues are not eliminated, I won't recommend this...

Authentic Tajik Cuisine Restaurant

This restaurant is a real gem for lovers of Central Asian food. They now have two locations — the second one is in Operka, just behind Citir Usta, a spot every taxi driver knows.
