Pro.Khinkali — Restaurant in Tashkent

Visited in September 2025. Uzbekistan 🇺🇿 Tashkent.

We chose Pro.Khinkali based on glowing reviews, expecting a delicious meal. The spacious interior, adorned in vibrant Eastern style with an open kitchen, creates an engaging atmosphere where you can watch the chefs at work, adding a layer of transparency and charm.

FOOD:

The restaurant serves Georgian cuisine with a distinct Eastern flair. Naturally, we ordered khinkali—a must for any visitor—along with chebureks and a grilled lyulya kebab. The beef khinkali were impressive, with thin, smooth, well-seasoned dough encasing a rich, flavorful broth. The meat was tasty and well-spiced, though a few pieces had unwelcome sinews, which slightly marred the experience. The chebureks were stunning: golden, crispy, puffed-up dough filled with perfectly seasoned, sinew-free beef mince, delivering a juicy, satisfying bite. The lyulya kebab was equally delightful, made with quality meat and paired with a fresh tomato salad. The vegetable salad was a great side, with ripe, crisp veggies that complemented the meal beautifully.

SERVICE:

The service was warm and professional. When we mentioned the sinews in the khinkali, the manager promptly assured us that the batch of mince would be inspected, showcasing a commitment to quality that every restaurant should aspire to. As a kind gesture, they offered us a complimentary dessert, which was a lovely touch.

VERDICT:

Plov Project is one of Tashkent’s finest restaurants, delivering exceptional food, warm service, and a vibrant atmosphere. Watching khinkali being crafted in the open kitchen is a fascinating bonus. Despite a minor hiccup with the khinkali, this was our best dining experience in the city, and we highly recommend it to anyone...

I was invited for a business dinner and visited Pro.Хинкали by Novikov in Tashkent, a Georgian restaurant that left a positive impression. From the moment we walked in, the bustling atmosphere set the stage for an enjoyable evening.

The menu boasted an array of Georgian delights, and I must say, the food lived up to the hype. We started with the Bhaly, which were flavorful, I'd rate them at 7.5/10. The Georgian mixed vegetables salad and Khachapuri with greens followed, both earning an 8/10 for their delicious flavors. The Khinkali, a Georgian dumpling, was also a standout at 8/10.

The Lula Kebab exceeded expectations with its tender, well-seasoned meat, earning a solid 8.5/10. The Dolma and Chashushuli maintained the high standard, scoring 7.5/10 and 8/10, respectively.

As for dessert, the Baklava and Honey Cake were enjoyable, though they fell slightly short of the previous courses with scores of 6.5/10 and 7.5/10, respectively.

One aspect that truly stood out was the service which was amazing. The staff's attentiveness and knowledge of the menu contributed to an excellent dining experience.

In summary, Pro.Хинкали by Novikov is a restaurant that not only offers a vibrant atmosphere but also delivers on the promise of Georgian cuisine. While there were minor variations in dish ratings, the overall experience was memorable, making it a restaurant worth revisiting for those seeking a taste of Georgia...

This Georgian restaurant, nestled in the heart of Tashkent, impresses with its elegant and tasteful interiors and a diverse menu that spans from beloved Georgian classics to lesser-known regional specialties, along with some new, more exciting and creative reinterpretations adding a modern twist to the timeless classics of the Georgian cuisine. We couldn’t resist trying their cheburek, an unexpected addition to a Georgian menu, but absolutely outstanding in taste. The khinkali, including the fried version, which I initially approached with some skepticism, turned out to be some of the best I’ve ever had. Hands up for their selection of Georgian wines and top notch service, simply impeccable. All in all, this was a very pleasant dining experience as this restaurant definitely stands out for its authentic, unique and delicious cuisine in the somewhat monotonous Tashkent’s...
