The aroma of freshly baked bread blends with the heat of the clay oven, and each dish tells the story of the region through flavor, texture, and character.

The restaurant is located directly opposite the legendary Itchan Kala. From the balcony or the summer terrace, guests can take in views of its ancient walls as they shift in color from golden sunset tones to soft evening illumination.

The story of the restaurant began with the idea of preserving ancient recipes and passing down the art of working with the tandoor from master chefs to new generations of cooks.
