A restaurant-lounge on Mirzo Ulugbek Street serving steaks and Mediterranean-style dishes, with a light-filled glass-walled room, a garden terrace and live music in the evenings.
Sophia is a restaurant and lounge in the Dilimah Hotel building on Mirzo Ulugbek Street, in the northwest of the city. Large glass panels flood the dining room with light, greenery softens the interior, and there is a terrace with its own garden. Live music plays in the evenings.
The menu centres on steaks and Mediterranean-style dishes; regulars recommend the filet mignon, shrimp bruschetta, crispy aubergine salad and chicken soup. Reviews are mixed — the setting and food win praise, but service can slow down when it is busy.
Information checked: October 2026. Prices and hours can change — call ahead before you go. We do not take bookings: contact the venue directly.
