A restaurant near Ota Darvoza serving tandoor-baked lamb, shivit oshi and desserts, with views of the fortress.
Tandiriy is about 170 m from Ota Darvoza and specialises in dishes from the tandoor oven. The interior is thoughtfully done, the tableware distinctive and the windows look onto the city wall; guests may be offered a hand-wash from a jug at the door.
The signature is tandoor-baked lamb, alongside shivit oshi and desserts. The lamb is not always ready in the evening, so order it in advance. Open daily 11:00–23:00.
