Arrows and Sparrows Cafe UZ — Restaurant in Tashkent

This is not only the best place in Tashkent, it's definitely the best in Uzbekistan that we have had, and it's definitely better than almost every dining experience I've had in the US.

Between my family and I, we tried about 10 menu items and every single one was a home run. Pumpkin soup, beef and mango salad, chicken Milanese, creamy mushroom pasta with chicken, and various apps, drinks, and desserts. Every item was perfect not only in flavor, but temperature, freshness, plating, and portion size. Their drinks use fresh ingredients and were the perfect amount of fruity and sweet.

I mean it when I say this place nailed everything 11/10. Service? Amazing, extremely friendly and attentive staff and service in three languages without any problem.

Menu? Perfectly balanced and there is absolutely something for everyone. It's modern, fresh, unique, interesting, and cosmopolitan.

Ambiance? Incredible. Right by the water in Tashkent City Park and if you're timing it right you can even see the fountain show!

Even the bathrooms are spotless.

I only regret I cannot eat here more often and I regret not coming here sooner. This restaurant gave me a lasting impression of Tashkent as a last experience before leaving and I dare say it measurably improved my memory of the trip. I wish this business best of luck, they work really hard and have a great concept and they...

Disappointing Experience!!!! – Poor Service and Unwelcoming Atmosphere

As a foreign visitor, I was truly disappointed by my experience at this restaurant. From the moment we arrived, the hostess at the reception was extremely rude and made no effort to greet or welcome us. It felt as though our presence was an inconvenience rather than a valued visit.

My phone battery was dying, and I tried to rent a power bank from the Yandex deck. Unfortunately, as someone unfamiliar with the system, I asked for help—but received none. Instead, the staff moved me around abruptly and rudely, as the charging station was located near an area they frequently accessed. Their lack of patience and courtesy was frustrating.

We ordered a chai tea and a coffee, hoping to salvage the experience, but both drinks were disappointing in taste and quality. Overall, the service was poor from start to finish. As a tourist, I felt unwelcome and disheartened by how I was treated. It left a negative impression and I sincerely hope the management reads this review and takes steps to improve the customer experience.

I also submitted my feedback through the payment questionnaire, If you are a tourist don't waste your time...

I had the misfortune of dining at this restaurant and I must say, it was an absolute disaster. Firstly, the service was extremely disappointing. The staff was uninterested, apathetic, and completely lacking in hospitality. We had to wave our hands several times just to get their attention, and even then, they took their sweet time to serve us.

To make matters worse, the prices were outrageously high for the mediocre food. And if that wasn't bad enough, they forced us to order outrageously priced drinks, which we didn't even want in the first place. It's almost as if they were trying to con us into paying more for our already overpriced meal.

To add insult to injury, they were going to charge us a fine for bringing a drink from outside. I mean, seriously? Who charges their customers for bringing their own beverages, especially considering the high prices they were already charging?

Overall, I would not recommend this terrible establishment to anyone. The service was poor, the prices were exorbitant, and their business practices were questionable at best. Save your hard-earned money and take your...
