Hamsa Restaurant — Restaurant in Samarqand Region

This was hands down the best place we ate in the entire Silk Road region. Like most spots in Samarkand, the food takes a little time to come out, but here it was absolutely worth the wait, every single dish we ordered was outstanding. The menu offers a great selection, and everything we tried was cooked with care and packed with flavor.

The service was flawless (a real 10/10), and the outdoor seating made the experience even better. I highly recommend the lamb and the ribeye. But just a tip: order your steak rarer than you usually would, since it tends to come out more cooked, as is common here.

I also really enjoyed the Uzbek wine here. I got a glass of red.

For dessert, the staff suggested the chocolate fondant, and it was the perfect ending, rich, indulgent, and honestly one of the best I’ve had.

If you’re in Samarkand, don’t miss this place. Also note that they open at 6pm for dinner. I came at 5pm and they were closed so call in to check before coming as online it says they’re...

Even though it was raining, we made a special visit to the Hamza Restaurant at the Hilton Garden Inn at the Samarkand Silk Road development.

Mohinur did an excellent job in looking after us. She was very polite, helpful and professional. The food also did not disappoint and ‘hats off’ to the chef and the kitchen team for putting together such a fantastic meal for us.

I opted for the rack of lamb with chargrilled vegetables and mash. My wife chose the chicken curry with rice. All I can say it was yummmy!

Thank you Hilton team and...

We dined each night of our visit here as we were surprised about the excellent service, quality and prices. They have a reasonably priced bar as well with local liquors and the food has many regional specialties. The service is obliging and helpful and there are many vegetarian options.

There is also a lovely terrace along the canal. If you are staying in the area it's highly recommended...
