Gagarin Chaihana (Чайхана) Restaurant — Restaurant in Rawai

I had an unforgettable dining experience at Gagarin Chaihana tonight! From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the warm and inviting atmosphere. The menu offers a delightful selection of dishes, each showcasing incredible flavors and authentic recipes.

I ordered the red Borsch, and it was truly out of this world! The rich, hearty broth combined with perfectly balanced spices made every bite a treat. You can tell they take great pride in their culinary craft. Almost like my mom makes. Ploy was amazing !

The service was impeccable, with the staff being friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. It made the whole experience even more enjoyable.

Very good taste of food. Size of portions not small, not big, just normal. I was missing some flatbread that is usually offered alongside Uzbek cuisine, but nevertheless I ordered some cheese and greens Kok Nam pie, and it was good. I had shurpa soup, and some salads to share. I was missing lemon and sugar to be offered alongside thyme tea, the staff didn’t offer to order them. Overall I do recommend this place and I would be happy to come again. It felt pricey though, as you have to order several dishes to get full.

The staff was very attentive, all the time nearby ready to help, but not disturbing our conversations. The restaurant has nice and big designated playground in a room. The kids could be noisy for sure, as they are happy running and playing, and so sometimes could leak out of the kids’ room.

The restaurant has a spacious parking, easy for any car to...

Chaihana Gagarin — the heart of the East in Rawai We found this place only three days before leaving… and honestly, that’s our only regret.

This isn’t just a restaurant — it’s a sanctuary of flavor and soul ✨ A beautiful fusion of Uzbek, Georgian, and Russian cuisine — bringing together the best dishes from each tradition, all made with care and heart 🥟🍲❤️

Hot, fresh bread 🫓. Aromatic pilaf 🍛. Juicy khinkali 🥟. Borscht that tastes like home 🥣. And the team? They welcome you like family — warm, generous, and full of life 🤗

Highly recommended ⭐️ A piece of our hearts stayed at Chaihana Gagarin — and we already know where we’re coming...
