One of my best discoveries was the Taj Mahal restaurant on the top floor of UB Hotel, opposite Lenin Square. If you look like a backpacker, they can give a little hesitation going through the reception, but do not worry because they are used to it: once you go towards the elevator. The kitchen of Taj Mahal is led by an Indian chef, so the food can not be more authentic.
