Khiva Restaurants

 

Khiva cafes and restaurants located in the historic city of Ichan-Kala are probably the most enjoyable. Some of them are housed in heritage madrasahs and boast most impressive historic interiors. The cuisines include unique Khorezmian dishes: Khorezmian pilaf, which is different from other Uzbek pilafs; tukhum barak dumplings with eggs; shuit oshi green noodles made of dough with herbs, in a mulligan stew. We recommend that you visit the local traditional house restaurant to enjoy the local home-level hospitality flavor, homemade quality food and folk dance shows.
