I often visit this bar and thoroughly impressed with the overall atmosphere and experience. The decor was modern and sleek, with comfortable seating and dim lighting that created a cozy ambiance. The staff members are friendly and knowledgeable about the extensive drink menu, which featured a wide variety of drinks & beers. The food menu was also impressive, with delicious small plates and entrees that perfectly complemented the drinks. The atmosphere is lively. Having the best location in the city i.e. on Rudaki Street Overall, I highly recommend this bar to anyone looking for a great night out.

Great food and interesting concept. Full of ex pats. Good drinks. It was pretty empty when I went but that may have been due to covid .

Funny interior design, great service, good food. Looking at the guests, it is a cozy place, popular for local wealthy people, but as a tourist I felt also very comfortable.

The food looks very exciting on the menu, and I appreciate the fact that they have really tried to do something different. But then when the food came, it was lukewarm, quite bland, and for example the pita dish was too soggy. Still ok, though, but not as exciting as it sounded like!
The tom yam soup was very nice, though! Wish it had been warmer.
The place looks nice, but as other reviewers have said, it is very smokey (cigarettes and shisha pipes) and music is very loud and the music is more of club-type dance music than what you'd expect in a pub. But I'm sure esp the younger crowds will appreciate it. The place seems very popular, anyway.

Went here for lunch on the recommendation of a well-traveled local and was not disappointed. In Dushanbe, its either very traditional or bland international food as served by hotels, so this was a real treat. Very friendly and hospitable staff, excellent quality dishes designed by the chef and we wished we had found the gastropub at the beginning as opposed to the end of our trip. Easy, relaxed decor - yes there is a smoking area but it was far enough away from where we were sitting not to pose a problem

Can't really see how anyone would be disappointed. It's worth the visit.
