Upscale cafe at walking distance from Amir Temur sq and Hotel Uzbekistan. The ambiance is super chic. They have a dedicated vegetarian menu, which was impressive, however all of the vegetarian-only foods are Lebanese and not Uzbek (there seems to be no concept of vegetarian Uzbek food overall in the country, so they can’t be faulted) But whatever we ordered was ridiculously good! Tasty, flavourful, and exceptional service by the staff (special shout out to Oleg) who went above and beyond to welcome us, ensure we felt comfortable, and offered complimentary breads/hummus/baba ganoush while we waited (quite a while) for our food. Despite the lack of English speaking staff, they did everything possible to help translate ingredients, & provide recommendations. The tea offered with local dry fruits was a refreshing combination. They serve sheesha/hookah & a wide range of Uzbek meats/kebabs/samsas/manti (all meat based though and/or have pre-added animal fat in them) we just enjoyed those visually from the menu card haha! But highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a spot for date night/a special occasion/good Lebanese vegetarian food! Try the falafel shawarma!!! Be ready to spend up to USD $20-30 for a meal for two.

Our last Ramadan iftar was booked at this Cafe 1991, so we taste local cuisine not Turkish )) The interior is amazing, I liked the design and the atmosphere and it is very beautiful inside. We were 7people on the 1st floor sitting on sofas. We had 3types of salads, soup, hot salad and an amazing looking steamed lamb. At the end we ordered some desserts and had some coffee. Total bill was around 280-290USD. Quite expensive… I liked everything, but there was a problem with lamb. Despite amazing look it didn’t have a good taste, it was nice, smooth, but no taste…What a waste of meat we all thought… We liked the desserts, especially the one that cost 20usd ) really light and delicious. Then we ordered Arabic and Moroccan coffee, actually it is the same coffee the only difference are the supplements they bring along with the coffee. As a result, we didn’t enjoy it much, perhaps we had no idea what the taste should be. The place is very popular among youth as they have a 2nd floor and something interesting was going on there as young people kept on going up there ))

We chanced upon Cafe 1991 and we were fully blown away by the Christmas decorations and the wonderful staff. From the moment we stepped in, the staff made us feel very welcomed- the short - haired lady (forgot to ask her for her name) who took us to our table and our waiter, Sam. He was very friendly and spoke good English, which helped us in making decisions on the dishes to order. They had aplenty vegetarian dishes, so do consider this, if you’re a vegetarian. Sam was attentive to our needs and I was very impressed that he could memorise our order and got it all right 🙏🏼 it was a pity we couldn’t thank him personally and say bye to him when we left. The band was amazing, adding to the vibrant atmosphere of the cafe. They were so thoughtful to include English songs as part of their playlist when they noticed us walking in. Highly recommended place!

This is an upscale restaurant. We went 2 days in a row. We had a perfect night on our first night upstairs. Food and atmostsphere was good. Service was great. We left a good tip for the waiter (Chinese looking, sorry I don't know the name) who was fantastic. On our second dinner, one waiter there who didn't even serve us basically asked for a tip after we paid by a credit card. He said you can leave tip "if you want" 2 times. We did leave the tip but not as much as the first time. Tipping is for good service which is determined by the customers so I deducted one star from this as that made me feel a bit uncomfortable. Still if you want good food and good service and dont mind a waiter asking for a tip in Tashkent, I recommend this place.

If you are in Tachkent, this place is a must a mix between Uzbech, Libanese and Moroccan cousins. In general I am struggling to give a five: Food: tasty and diverse, from salats to desert. Decoration: well done, a mix between uzbech and Moroccan design. Hookah: as expected and the hookah master knows what he is doing. Staff: Zahra, welcomes you with a smile and her English is excellent. The rest of the staff tries their best. In general the service is good. Prices: the food price is ok for this type of restaurant. The Hookah in other hand is to expensive the cheapest one is 3times the price of hookah lounges near by. The expensive one is almost the price of a hookah in central London. (50euro)

We loved everything about Cafe 1991! The setting was charming, and the decor added a unique touch to the whole experience. We appreciated the menu being in English with lots of pictures, making it easy to choose from the delicious offerings. The large vegetarian section was a delight, catering to some of our dietary preferences. The desserts were fabulous, and the flavors of the food were simply outstanding. The cuisine gave us a true taste of original Uzbek dishes. It was a wonderful dining experience, and we highly recommend it!
