    Lovely spot for brunch with friends or family. Theming seemed out of place in Boulder but it's all very whimsical and enjoyable. Packed on a weekend morning. Tea variety really has something for everyone. Food tasted fresh and tasty. If you're coming at a peak time like we did for lunch, you may expect to wait an hour to be seated. But if you're willing to wait, it'll be a pleasant meal. Servers were friendly and attentive.

    I had the pleasure of trying Dushanbe Teahouse's afternoon tea. The story of the building is impressive. That being said, do be aware that if you come on a hot day, it does get pretty stuffy in there. At least it was on the day that I went. The teas that I tried were yummy, but my favorites were the strawberry tea and the Lady Grey tea. The afternoon tea featured a variety of little sandwiches, pastries, and scones. It came with a jam, lemon curd and clotted cream for the scones. It was a lot of food so do go hungry. I made the mistaking of having a small lunch before this. The small sandwiches were so delicious! As well as the scones with the accompaniments. The cakes did not stand out to me in any way. If you're looking for a nice little afternoon tea with a friend, this would be a great place for that.

    I would highly recommend skipping the Char Kway Teow, as it was way too salty to eat and I ended up only picking out the shrimp. The Swedish Svamptoast was a much better, edible alternative, though the bread was a bit soggy from the mushrooms. The standout was definitely the Jamaican Jerk Steak, which was genuinely enjoyable and worth ordering. The dinner ambiance was pretty loud, though the gardens offer a very pretty view. Thanks to a reservation, I was seated right away and the food arrived quickly, but because it was so busy, the service felt a bit minimal, just the initial order and a single check-in with no water refills until the bill arrived. Honestly, dinner fell a bit short, so I'll likely only return for their tea service next time.

    Pretty nice location and beautifully decorated. Ordered the Persian Dolma Bademjan as our appetizer and the Thai Beef & Pickled Vegetable Salad and Tajikistan Osh for our entrees. Our favorite dish was the appetizer. It was full of flavor. The entrees were good but just not as good as the app. The tea was lovely and the experience overall was very nice. Service was top notch.

    Never been disappointed with the food and drinks here. The location is stunning and just brings you to a higher vibration and happiness upon entering. They are usually pretty busy but on a Wed afternoon, it wasn't busy at all. We got the Swedish Svamptoast and a Cream of Mushroom soup. Best part? The soup had no dairy in it! Huge win for me. I destroyed the Swedish Svamptoast in seconds, as the flavors of earthiness, tangy/citrus and the creaminess from goat cheese couldn't have melted more perfectly together. Always a great experience here.

    This place is AMAZING!! They have over 100 different flavors of tea, including some very unique ones. The breakfast menu also had a good variety of staples, unique items and classic items but with a twist. The history of this place and artistry that went into it will leave you awestruck. I got goosebumps sitting in there, looking at the ceiling and walls as my friend told me that it was all hand carved and painted! You would think a place like this would be super expensive but for tea and a breakfast entree, I got out of there for about $20, including tax and tip, which is basically unheard of these days. If you're in Boulder, you HAVE to come check this place out!

    Me and my friend were in Boulder and came across Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse when looking up food spots, and loved it was even on the Michelin Guide! We loved how it was so unique and has cuisines from so many different counties. We ordered the Palatschinken as well as the Spicy Indonesian Peanut Noodles. Both were very tasty and loved being able to try something new like Austrian food. If you know what time you'll be eating, I would highly recommend a reservation. Me and my friend were walk-ins and had a bit of a wait, and the restaurant was very crowded.

    Our friend really wanted to go here during our Colorado/Denver road trip. We made a point of making reservations in advance because of how hyped they were. This place has definitely lived up to the hype. The ambiance is amazing, and the service is excellent. I have never seen so much tea in my entire life, and each selection is top notch quality. If tea isn't your cup of tea, the cocktails are also pretty delicious. One of the best kabobs I've ever had. No further notes. Highly recommend people come here.

    We had a beautiful dinner with our family--the food was excellent, and our waitress, Havana, was outstanding. I live in NYC and dine out frequently, so I fully understand time limits and table management. That's not the issue. What was unacceptable was how it was handled. At the end of our meal, the manager, Patrick, abruptly dropped the bill and told us we had eight minutes to leave. We still had half a bottle of wine and hadn't even been offered a dessert menu. The tone was curt and dismissive, and it completely undercut what had been a great experience. There's a professional way to manage timing--this wasn't it.

    TLDR; beautiful tea house with very nice vibes and a wide selection of teas Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse is a gift from Tajikistan, a sister city of boulder. The entire teahouse is crafted and built in Tajikistan, carefully taken apart and shipped to boulder before being built up the same way. The interiors are beautifully painted and the walls and beams have intricate designs carved in it. There are plants inside and the overall vibe is very relaxing. They have a huge variety of teas, ranging from Chinese, Japanese, Indian, South American, Russian, English, etc. the staff are also wonderful and helpful in choosing what tea to try out. If you are a tea fan and in Boulder, this is a must visit location!

    I have not try the tea, but came for lunch. And im not sure if their seasoning counts as comfort food. Its particularly not for me. All the seasonings had like some part of tea/herbal infused ingredients? Probably great for drinking but not for eating. Service is pretty busy. You can come and do self serve sitting outside otherwise need to reserved ahead of time. Good for trying once, but nothing more.

    Always a good time at Dushanbe! I've been here so many times and I will keep coming back. I brought a cousin visiting to Dushanbe and she absolutely loved it! This time around we tried the dolmas, samosas and the Malaysian noodles with tofu - everything good and fulfilling (I almost never have an entire order of vegan/vegetarian food when dining outside). I got the usual London fog and loved it! Dined indoors for a change - we stopped by at 8 pm on a Wednesday evening. The first time I experience no wait at Dushanbe. Highly recommend especially if you're a tourist visiting boulder - Dushanbe will add to your experience.

    Amazing ambiance for brunch or afternoon tea. There's usually always a wait but it moves fast. The Mediterranean salad was tasty.

    This is The Place...for a great locals breakfast…read more Food was exceptional and all the breakfast favorites are available. Leaning towards Mexican options which is even better for us. We had the MIGAS and the Steak-and-egg fried rice with coffees. AWESOME!!! I would eat the wagyu steak n eggs everyday! Service is fast and efficient. They had people in and out in no time. Food came fast and hot and they didn't miss a step. Coffee cup was full the entire time and they turned tables like their life depended on it. At 11am on Sunday morning we showed up to 10 people waiting, within 5-7 minutes we were all seated. There was a constant flow of customers and you know this place is a local gem. Out the door for $52 for a quality meal that included steak and bottomless coffee felt amazing given the economics of the day. Indoor and outdoor seating. Tables from 1 to 8 and lots of 2 and 4 tops. Hidden away in an industrial park, forget Snooze, come here. You won't regret it.

    This truly is a best kept secret for brunching heaven off the beaten path in Boulder…read more It's a beautiful melting pot of cuisine as well as guests. While it has its own parking lot there is also loads of street parking nearby - making it easy to drop folks off near then swoop a spot for your stay. Seating is offered both inside and out. They are also happy to accommodate folks with mobility concerns and/or crutches. Staff are friendly, attentive and more than likely the hardest working waitstaff in town! If you're craving delicious food they have something for every palate! I'm talking gritz, breakfast burrito, pancakes, braised beef tongue, you name it they've got it!
