We were very lucky to get a recommendation to visit this venue. The show is AMAZING! We also got to have some tea and a delicious cake beforehand. If you are a larger group , call and book ahead. You can be lucky to walk in as well.

A cafe I stopped by to kill some time before my train. The Wi-Fi was fast, plenty of power outlets, the food came out quickly, and it was delicious.

A great theatre to feel the culture of Uzbekistan. The performers were good, the music the sequences they pulled off was captivating. Also, the waiting area before entry to the theatre has some nice Uzbek collections. Worth spending a few moments looking through those. Definitely worth a visit.

This place is a hidden gem in Samarkand. They have delicious coffee and cakes and it’s a nice café. You can work from here or you can indulge in all the cakes with a hot cup of coffee or tea. Really liked it! It’s inside a theatre and sometimes you can even attend the show next door.

We had a quick visit to El Merosi theatre to check if anything has changed. Fortunately, nothing has changed since and that’s good. They still have that awesome theather atmosphere people come here for. They have nice popular café with drinks and sweets. If you have some time, come here for an evening play, that usually starts at 6pm.

It's located next to the small theater hall, and I can imagine that before and after the show, it will be buzzing with young people chatting and enjoying their meals or drinks there. The menue has a big variety. I tried European breakfast and my go to hot drink; cappuccino!

Went here this morning and had pancakes and a cappuccino and my friend and I were both impressed. It appears this cafe is popular with locals too as quite a few people dropped in to grab takeaway coffee while we were having brekky. Recommended for sure.
