A family branch of Shashlik.uz, a Samarkand chain founded in 2014: charcoal-grilled shashlik, an Eastern-style courtyard with a fountain, and seating indoors or on open-air tapchan platforms.
Shashlik.uz Royal is a family restaurant attached to The Royal hotel on Ibn Sino Street. The chain started with a single restaurant in 2014 and now runs several branches in Samarkand and beyond. You can eat in the dining room or out in an Eastern-style courtyard, which is sprinkled with water on summer evenings and cooled by a small fountain; there are tapchan platforms too.
Charcoal-grilled shashlik is the core of the menu: lamb chunks, minced kebab, ribs, liver, chicken wings and the layered 'Napoleon'. The chain's menu adds achichuk tomato salad, crispy aubergine salad, mastava rice soup, jiz-biz and tandir-roasted meat. Reviewers note that no alcohol is served.
