The herbal tea with sweets are really expensive (for local standards of course) but both are really good. It would be nice if they had an option to order tea without the sweets though.

... and I'm not even all that into tea usually! After a hot and dusty morning trudging through many sites, it was heavenly to come here, sit on a day coach, and for a small price (12k sum = $6) try unlimited flavors of tea and sweets. I especially loved the mint tea.

I expected a sublime tea house experience I guess, and it was not going to happen. It was November, I was the only guest. They brought me coffee and sweets that honestly did not impress me, especially for the high tourist price. Probably better when the business is rolling, I felt like an interruption.

I'd highly recommend this teahouse. at first I was confused about the price and thought it was a tad expensive, but the price basically means you can have unlimited pots of tea and try what they have on offer. Accompanying the tea are traditional snack/tea foods most of which are delicious. coffee is also served with Cardamom or cinnamon. its... More

Sit a while amidst stunning architecture and indulge in a selection of five teas (saffron, green, black, ginger and spice and herb) plus two coffees; cardamon and cinnamon and enjoy traditional sweets and halva for less than $US10 per couple.

A great place to have a cup of spiced tea or coffee. The tea or coffee comes with plenty of sweets to enjoy as a part of the purchase price. The Tea House has lots of atmosphere and the spice aroma when you enter takes you back to the spice bazaars. A great place to escape from the sights and... More

This is a great place to take a break while on your walking tour of Bukhara. The price includes tea and a selection of local snacks like halva. The problem will be choosing which tea to enjoy. I loved the ginger tea, but the saffron tea is also quite delicious. They have clean restrooms. The teas are on sale and... More

This place has great atmosphere reminding the old caravan places from the Silk Road. Very friendly owners and tasty homemade sweets. Great variety of teas. This is definitely a place not to be missed while in Bukhara

It's a really nice place to stop for a rest if you're going round the old town of Bukhara. Excellent tea, various different types available, all served with halva, nuts, crystallised sugar etc.
