Platan is a hotel restaurant that's become a destination in its own right, plating Uzbek classics like plov alongside grilled fish and meat cooked in a Josper oven. The dining room has an elegant, slightly formal feel, while the terrace – warmed by patio heaters in cooler months – is the better seat for a long, unhurried dinner.
It sits a short walk from the old town, so it works well as a sit-down dinner after a day at Registan rather than a quick lunch stop.
Local tip: Service can run slow at busy times, so build extra time into your evening.
