Silk96 Wine&Lounge

Tucked into the Mirzo Ulugbek district, Silk96 Wine&Lounge has built a reputation as one of the better wine destinations in Tashkent, holding a 4.6 rating and a spot among the top 40 restaurants in the city. The interior at Silk96 mixes modern touches with traditional Uzbek elements, and a beautiful garden and comfortable terrace give guests several settings to choose from depending on the mood.

The wine list at Silk96 draws consistent praise, with local and international bottles on offer, including Georgian wine that more than one reviewer singled out specifically. Beyond wine, guests recommend the shrimp risotto, chicken alfredo, and chocolate mousse, along with cocktails like Bellinis, and shisha for those wanting to linger outside after the meal in Tashkent.

Live music, including Afro house DJ sets and live singing on some evenings, adds to the atmosphere at Silk96, and reviewers often mention the place staying open later than most other venues in Tashkent. Service is generally described as attentive and professional, though at least one reviewer reported a less engaged experience on a return visit, with high prices for wine imported into Uzbekistan.

For date nights, small celebrations, or simply a relaxed evening with good wine, Silk96 remains a strong recommendation for anyone in Tashkent looking for something more intimate than a typical restaurant. A small, charming detail reviewers in Tashkent mention: the staff regularly feed the stray cats that gather near the door.
