Check Flavours. If you are visiting for shisha, confirm that your preferred flavour is available before ordering, especially during promotions.
Choose Carefully. For Iftar, compare the set menu with the main menu first; one review found the Iftar selection underwhelming.
Check Bills. Look over menu prices and the final bill, since one diner found a higher charge for kunafa.
Allow Time. Leave extra time during busy periods; a review reported very late food and another described Iftar service as slow.
Ask Parking. Parking information varies in reviews: one diner used the mosque beside the restaurant, so confirm the current arrangement before arriving.
Try Tea. Add the tea to your order; several reviews single it out, and one visitor found it especially good with shisha.

Some visits have involved long waits, including one complaint that the food arrived very late.
A few diners reported stale or reheated food, including tough liver, dry salmon and disappointing somsa.
Shisha is well liked overall, but one reviewer wanted a wider choice of flavours.
One guest found that the kunafa price on the bill was higher than the menu price and had to request a correction.
The Bottom Line
Terrace Tashkent is a Jumeirah Uzbek restaurant where dinner can easily turn into a longer tea-and-shisha visit. The menu has several well-reviewed anchors: Tashkent plov, Uyghur manti, lagman and Kazan kebab all receive specific praise, while shisha is often described as smooth and flavourful. The tea is another recurring highlight, particularly alongside shisha or a savoury meal.
The setting matters here. Reviews mention a good-looking terrace, warm decoration and an atmosphere quiet enough for conversation, rather than a loud, rushed dining room. Hospitality is often described as friendly and attentive, although the experience is not completely consistent.
Some diners reported very late food, weak menu knowledge and slow service, especially during Iftar. Prices split opinion. Several guests consider them reasonable for Jumeirah, while others found the plov expensive, portions small or the overall meal overpriced.
Food quality also varies in the feedback: many describe traditional, freshly prepared dishes, but others reported reheated meat, tough liver, dry salmon and disappointing somsa. If you go, confirm shisha flavours before ordering, compare the Iftar menu with the main menu, and check the bill carefully—one guest found a higher kunafa price than listed. Parking should also be confirmed, as a review mentions using the mosque beside the restaurant.
