About this spot
Grand Samarkand brings the hearty, onion-heavy flavors of Central Asian stews to Ueno with dishes like lamb pilaf and creamy beshbarmak served in a rustic setting. The restaurant's high ratings among locals stem from its authentic Russian-influenced Eurasian menu that feels worlds away from typical Tokyo dining.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the plov early as the rice absorbs all the rich meat juices quickly.
- Ask for extra naan bread to soak up the savory sauces on your main courses.
