A Shashlik.uz branch near the Hazrat Khizr Mosque and Siyob Bazaar: spacious halls in national style, lamb shashlik and lula kebab, achichuk salad and honey-sweetened tea; alcohol-free.
Shashlik.uz Afrosiyob sits between Siyob Bazaar and the Afrasiyab hills — about 340 m from the Hazrat Khizr Mosque, 400 m from the bazaar and some 670 m from Shah-i-Zinda. Diners describe it as a large, new Uzbek restaurant, with around thirty tables in roomy halls decorated in national style, and the chain also offers it for banquets.
Lamb shashlik, lamb lula kebab, achichuk tomato-and-onion salad and tea sweetened with honey earn the most praise. No alcohol is served. One diner put dinner for two at about 280,000 som in spring 2026.
Information checked: October 2026. Prices and hours can change — call ahead before you go. We do not take bookings: contact the venue directly.
