Emirhan's whole reason for being is the view: this rooftop restaurant looks straight down onto Registan Square, and it's especially striking once the monuments are lit at night. The menu covers the familiar ground – plov, kebabs, manti, samsa – plus a few European dishes, but most people are really here for where they're sitting.
Book or arrive early for a terrace table at sunset, when the light on the madrasahs is best.
Local tip: Reviewers note service can be slow when it's busy, so this suits a leisurely evening rather than a fast turnaround.

For a very different kind of Samarkand meal after the rooftop view, this top-rated experience has you shopping Siab Bazaar and cooking traditional dishes with a local family.
