Paul — Restaurant in Tashkent

Went there for a little lunch. They call themselves a restaurant; however, they are far from being one. It's a quite busy place with no host. So when you enter this place, you are pretty much lost, looking for an empty space to sit. Not the end of the world, though. Service was prominent, however, there was a bit of a wait for the food. My Mrs. got her food first, so I had to wait extra for mine. Despite mine being just a sandwich 🥪. Her food was fresh and hot with a tea that complemented the dish. A few minutes later, I received my sandwich that was not even yesterday's. I could tell by the cheese slice that was changing in color. I could tell with confidence that the bread was in the fridge for long. As I was hungry looking at my partner while she was eating, I ripped that sandwich in half and left the top on the plate.

Maybe the Tashkent branch forgot the legacy it represents. Or maybe it thinks the Paul name alone is enough.

But food tells the truth.

Verdict: If you can’t honour the brand, don’t borrow the name. Chicken curry doesn’t belong here. Or learn how to cook real...

We had a small incident at that restaurant , we ordered coffee without sugar, as my wife has an allergy. They made coffee with sugar, as their coffee mix has sugar in it already, as an outcome - huge allergy and bad review. Waiter said that he thought we knew it comes with sugar already, so he didn’t mention it. They even didn’t propose to make a new coffee, as they thought they were right! Wake up your coffee costs are at 0.5 cents… Train your staff on dietary intolerances or it can...
