Caravan is one of the most popular restaurants in Tashkent. For more than 25 years, it has introduced guests to the traditions of Uzbek cuisine and hospitality.
Located not far from the city centre, the restaurant is housed in a private house. Guests can dine in the shaded courtyard, on the terrace, or in one of the dining rooms. The interior is designed in the style of a traditional Uzbek home and features handcrafted decorative elements, including ceramics, suzani embroidery and other original pieces. This setting creates a warm and relaxed atmosphere.
The varied menu brings together dishes from several culinary traditions, although Uzbek cuisine remains its main focus. One of the central dishes on the menu is plov, which is prepared in several different styles. Particularly interesting varieties include Bayram Osh, a Tashkent-style plov, and Oshi Sofi, a Bukhara-style plov cooked in a copper cauldron.
The menu also includes Uzbek dishes shurpa, shashlik, dolma, dimlama and several types of samsa. Other popular choices include Caravan’s signature lavash with cheese and herbs, and qurutob, a traditional Tajik dish made with flatbread, meat and vegetables with a fermented dairy dressing.
Caravan offers guests an opportunity to experience Uzbek culture alongside its traditional cuisine. The restaurant regularly hosts themed evenings celebrating the country’s traditions, with national songs and dances, interactive entertainment, and other performances.
