Xon Atlas
Old Bukhara, Uzbekistan
Xon Atlas brings regional Uzbek cooking to Halim Ibodov Street, with a rooftop outlook towards Bukhara’s monuments. The dishes worth asking about include balaza, a substantial soup, and kayish, a noodle dish that gives a change of pace from plov. Fresh salads help balance the richer cooking. It is a good stop during a day exploring the Kalon ensemble. Request a terrace table if the weather suits, and check the day’s regional specials.
