In the long menu there is certainly something for every taste. The first course salads were delicious and the kebabs, beautifully plated and huge portions very good as well. They do not serve beer unfortunately, it would go so well with this kind of food (or any other kind for that matter...).

5. Chaikhana Sharbat
Reviewed By Norjanpoika
This restaurant was recommended here on TripAdvisor, and that was the main reason for me choosing the place. The low score is mainly because of the extreme loud music in the restaurant where I sat. There were music entertainment and lovely dance shows, but everything to a music that was played so loud so I can still hear the ringing in my ear.The food was nice, and if I read the local language I would have understood the menu. It was with pictures, right to say, but still, they should have bothered themselves to have a menu in English. Because of the noise, I could not discuss the menu with the nice English-speaking waiter. There are other places to sit in the restaurant, and I was offered a seat in the more quiet area. I should have chosen that. The two courses I had were excellent, traditional food, and I wish I had more.

This teahouse dating from the 1960s is one of the most interesting buildings on Rudaki Avenue. It combines Soviet modernist style with Central Asian nuances like slender pillars, airy porches and geometric motifs. Architecturally, it is very interesting and will satisfy a hankering for Soviet nostalgia.The food includes bowls of noodles (laghman), fish dishes and plov. As well as tea, you can also get a beer. Costs are reasonable.

They did not get the awful Marco Polo joke when I walked in, but it was otherwise an excellent dining experience, if a tad quiet. The cave decor sort of works in winter, and thankfully they had some kW bar heaters on projected on to me to keep out the chill. I had the Afghan menu and throughly enjoyed both dishes; starters was Banjaan Burani (aubergine/yoghourt) which disappeared in a flash, followed by the Tekka Kabob (beef kebab), for which the meat was beautifully tender and very very tasty, with a tomato/onion salad and two types of long grain rice. I thought it would be too much but I wolfed it all down, having walked 3k to get there through the Rudaki Parklands. The meal was accompanied by some flat-ish bread and a rather spicy green chutney, that I would like to take home with me if I can. Service was super quick but then the place was empty (I arrived at 5pm).No local beer but Baltika is a good substitute. Wi-fi was down and they don't take credit cards, but directed me to the cash machine in the supermarket opposite.I paid 125 Somoni for two courses and two beers, which I don't think is OK for a capital city. Well worth the visit.
