Magistr Cafe

We had some amazing food here. And the tropical juice drink was way better than we had expected. The place looks as if it is part of a hotel, very nice and fancy feeling but certainly not unapproachable. Staff were also fast and attentive. Menu in English was available. But only the drinks menu was entirely in cyrillic. Credit card payment was accepted!

Nice local eatery whereby most of the dimmers are the locals themselves. You know it's OK then. Did a quick dinner routine since I have just arrived in Samarkand and this place just provided the right respite from the long road journey from Bukhara. The lagmen soup was brilliant. Good flavours with heaps of vegs and meat. ! Just the type of comfort food I'd expected.

This is a great place to stop by during your visit in Samarkand!!! Exceptional service, very good food with so many options (they are considering if you are vegetarian too :)) great choice of coffees and teas!!! Internet and suitable tables if you need to work a little bit. Another room with cute tables for family gatherings. The service is so nice, they even predict what you might need before you think about it ;) This is my favourite place in Samarkand :) thank you!!

Very conveniently located and well lit place that’s popular with both locals and tourists. Prices are reasonable for such a location. Love the fast service. But here are the reasons for 4 stars and not 5: - the curry chicken is quite tasty but it tastes nothing like good Indian curry! No hint of onions, turmeric or chilli or spices. It tastes more like carbonara sauce, tbh. - the lagman was very ordinary, the noodles were limp and over cooked, cannot compare with the blue blooded lagman shops in Tashkent. The soup was passable, quite delicious and definitely worth an order if you are going for soup and not noodles. Btw, the coffee americano is robust and full of body and kick and worth a try. Apologies for the very honest critique since I come from a country that makes world class curries and noodles. Still, I applaud the effort to be very inclusive in your menu! Kudos!

Great place to grab a quick bite to eat. The prices are low. The menu is comprehensive and the people running the service (mostly students) speak English.

The extra star is for the wait staff and the vegetarian food options. My wife is a vegetarian and we were having a hard time finding vegetarian option in our trip. But the food here mainly the pizza and the lentil soup were both hot and nourishing A welcome change from the grilled vegetables and rice options. And the staff is super friendly and very very attentive. They welcomed us late into the night with a smile and served us enthusiastically Cafe food so keep expectations accordingly. Also the tea menu is extensive and great on rainy days. Went there twice for lunch and dinner
