Bir Gumbaz
Bir Gumbaz is a cozy cafe-restaurant in the historical part of Khiva, located inside the old walls of Ichan-Kala. The place has a warm, calm atmosphere, where you can take a break after a walk through the ancient city and enjoy a light meal or dessert.
The menu includes both classic Uzbek dishes — salads, soups, tortillas — as well as lighter snacks and pastries. The establishment is especially popular among those who just want to drink coffee or tea with homemade dessert while observing the architecture of the Old Town.
The interior of Bir Gumbaz looks simple but neat: there is both an indoor hall and an outdoor outdoor area with views of ancient buildings. The service is unassuming, focused on the comfort of guests and informal visits.
Bir Gumbaz is a good place to relax after a walk in Khiva, when you want a light meal and a relaxed atmosphere, rather than a banquet dinner.
