A family café-teahouse between the Bibi-Khanym Mosque and Siab Bazaar serving manti, shurpa, lagman, samsa, plov and baklava. Staff speak English and Russian.
Sayqali Samarkand is on Islam Karimov Street, about 140 m from the Bibi-Khanym Mosque and 370 m from Siab Bazaar. It is a family-run café-teahouse that draws mostly sightseers in need of a break: the room is nicely decorated and there is Wi-Fi.
The menu covers shurpa, lagman, samsa, plov, baklava and lemon tea; reviewers single out the large, juicy manti. Coffee is available too, and the staff speak English and Russian.
Information checked: October 2026. Prices and hours can change — call ahead before you go. We do not take bookings: contact the venue directly.
