JOY Gastro Restaurant
Old Bukhara, Uzbekistan

Joy offers Uzbek cooking in a choice of dining rooms and terraces on Sarrafon Street. Its appeal is the combination of a central location, a broad menu and somewhere to settle in for a full meal after exploring the old city. The fried lamb is worth asking about, alongside vegetable dishes and rice. Specify whether you want indoor or outdoor seating when reserving, and discuss the meal’s pace if you have evening plans.
