Quite nice view to the River of Sir-Darya. Can recommend to have traditional food in there. This is what they can do.

People in Tajikistan prefer extreme sweet Deserts and oily food,which cause them have huge possibility to have serious tooth decay and obesity problems.
The owner,Mauzuna,notices this situation and tries to open a restaurant for locals to have a new idea about diet.
That was my first time to try Turkish food but it reminded me the time back to the healthy food restaurants in Taiwan.
Every dish I ordered(I'd been there for several times),they all were fat-light and green.It was really hard to find such food in Khujand then.
The cook,Mahmud,is from Turkey.When he had free time,he always came to the dining area to help the staff and try to ask for advice of the dishes.
This is a whole new restaurant in Khujand.If I have time to go back,I'll definitely visit again.

We were walking a lot around Khujand looking for a decent place to eat and luckily we found this filled-with-locals eatery just a short walk from the main Lenin street.
It serves a range of brilliant shashlyks (chicken, Turkey, lamb & beef) for 8-9 somoni, which is less than 2 usd, accompanied by a beer for 3-6 somoni or shots of vodka if you'd like.
It's not a fancy restaurant but a nice unpretentious and safe local place perfect if you don't want to spend a fortune or end up in a fake KFC.
Can happily recommend it to all travelers!

I had two great dinners here - the chachavili and the overly-dry chicken in a walnut sauce (sacivi?). the service was great. The chachavili was truly amazing. The salads were fantastic. The portions are generous.
If you are staying at the Grand Hotel, you can spend 60 som/dinner here.
The breakfasts can be missed. I ate here three mornings. The coffee is instant. The bread is old. The omelettes are oily.

Были тут неоднократно. Нравиться всегда открытый зал, и возможность увидеть то что тебе предлагают своими глазами(вся пища на стойках лежит), цены очень небольшие и чисто. Единственный минус всегда сильно пахнет в зале едой.

Кафе а скорее столовая рядом с гостиницей Хесон в самом Центре. Из плюсов- достаточно большой выбор блюд, а порции кладут большие, так что 1-2 блюдом можно наесться полностью. цены невысокие. Минус пожалуй один пахнет едой в зале.

Кафе в переходе главного подземного перехода. Народу в обед много а в другое время свободно. просторный зал из самых больших плюсов то что еда перед тобой на стойке и можно выбрать то что хочешь. Цены низкие. Минус то что едой сильно в зале пахнет.

Чем нравиться висол, так это тем что тут есть и веранда где всегда светло и солнечно и уютный зал в глубине где тихо и стильно. выбор блюд большой, и быстро очень приносят. Показалось в этот раз много вато жира и перца. Цены средние.
