Merci

“😐 Merci, Samarkand 😐 Service was good, but the food fell short. Sushi was okay, but vegetarian pizza lacked flavor and creativity. Mojito was underwhelming. Expected more from the menu. 🍣🍕🍹”

“Very tasty coffee and friendly staff, I recommend it to everyone!”

“We stopped here for coffee and desert after eating at another restaurant and fell in love. We proceeded to come three more times during our time in Samarkand. The food, drinks, service and atmosphere were all excellent. Absolutely a great place to visit.”

After touring round Uzbekistan for the last 8 days or so, I can tell you I was mighty happy to have a meal at Merci. We had a plate of delicious vegetables which we had been craving. It was a nice change from salad. My husband had a steak, I had a delicious plate of sliced fillet steak with potatoes and mushrooms in a creamy sauce. Top that off with a terrific waitress who spoke and understood our Aussie English, a great soundtrack (one of my fav songs came on as we were devouring this feast) and I was in heaven. Thankyou, or should I say Merci!

I recently visited the restaurant "Mersi" in Samarkand and unfortunately, I had a very disappointing experience. The mojito I ordered was the worst I have ever had. It lacked flavor and was not prepared well. Moreover, the food was also not up to par. The bruschetta resembled sandwiches you would find at a gas station, and the salmon lox had a strong unpleasant smell. Additionally, the fried ravioli was priced higher than expected, especially considering it was served in a mediocre creamy sauce. To make matters worse, when I expressed my dissatisfaction with the mojito and refused to pay for it, the so-called manager refused to remove them from the bill. He argued that they had been sold and it would be shameful not to pay. This led to a lengthy discussion, during which the manager made offensive remarks, calling my actions shameless and referring to himself as a generous person who had bought me a drink. This behavior was absolutely appalling and left a very unpleasant impression. O

This is a gem of a cafe in downtown Samarkand. All the food I ordered off the extensive menu was fresh and well-seasoned, the staff were friendly, and the decor was really tasteful. The portion sizes were large, and the staff packed my leftovers into boxes — I ordered a lentil soup, a cucumber-tomato salad, and pesto pasta, and had enough for my dinner on the train back to Tashkent. There are good vegetarian options too, which is unusual for Uzbekistan. I will definitely visit the place again next time I come to Samarkand.

We had a wonderful experience here! Our waiter was a very polite and friendly young woman in a hijab, which made the service feel so warm and welcoming. The food was excellent and served quickly. The atmosphere is cozy and pleasant, and the place is very clean with a nice design. We ordered pizza and shakshouka. The pizza was soft and delicious, and I highly recommend trying the shakshouka for breakfast, it was very filling and tasty. The prices are also very fair.

I stayed in Samarkand for 3 nights and ate dinner at this restaurant each night. I even ate breakfast there too. Food and service is fantastic 👌
