Kazan is a rather interesting and beautiful city, which is the capital of Tatarstan, which is part of the Russian Federation. More than 1 million people live here, loving and appreciating their city, which in 2005 turned exactly 1 thousand years old. In addition, the infrastructure in Kazan is well developed, and the sights of the city are really something unique and truly valuable. What does the Kazan Kremlin or the bridge called the Millennium cost? These places must be visited immediately upon arrival in the capital of Tatarstan!
Today we will not discuss the sights of the city, but talk about one place that is also worth a visit, and as soon as possible. “Rubai” (Kazan) is a restaurant, whose menu will pleasantly surprise you with a large number of various dishes, noteworthy of both the natives of the capital of Tatarstan and tourists who came here. In this article we will conduct a review of the institution, discuss reviews about it and the menu, find out the work schedule, the exact prices of dishes and the level of service. Let's get started now!
Description
Kazan has a huge number of restaurants, bars and cafes, where city residents can not only taste dishes of different orientations, but also drink alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks and smoke hookah, but not all establishments of this kind provide customers with a high level of service, which is why and lose most of their guests. However, in the capital there are culinary establishments that meet all the standards, among which the Rubai network (Kazan) clearly stands out. The restaurant ("Tandem" - a shopping and entertainment complex where one of the chain's establishments is located) is considered almost the best in the city!

All the establishments of the network are completely different from each other. Each restaurant has its own style and atmosphere, as well as its own atmosphere. For example, somewhere you can have a romantic meeting with your soulmate, and somewhere you can have a very fun party in the company of friends or a classic business meeting. And now let's discuss each of the cafes of the Rubai network in Kazan.
The first restaurant of the project
For the first time, residents of the capital of Tatarstan were able to visit the Rubai restaurant only in 2005. The administration of the institution claims that the management decided to open a restaurant in the year when the city celebrated its first millennium. It turns out that it was a valuable gift to the residents of the city-birthday.
“Rubai” (Kazan) - a restaurant (Profsoyuznaya street, 23/12), where everyone can try Uzbek dishes. The institution itself is located right in the city center and attracts new visitors with excellent service, reasonable prices and very tasty food. In addition, here you have the opportunity to try the best hookah in Kazan - it sounds great, doesn't it?
By the way, the cafe is open daily without breaks from 11 to 23 hours.
The second restaurant of the chain
This institution has the same name - "Rubai". The restaurant first started operating only in the summer of 2014, that is, almost 10 years after the opening of the first cafe. I wonder why did the management take such a big break? Perhaps the restaurant didn’t develop very quickly, and maybe the reason was something else - it doesn’t matter at all, because now 3 establishments of this network are working in Kazan, but not all of them are called “Rubai”.
By the way, the institution is also located on Profsoyuznaya Street, but in the 16th house. In addition, nearby this institution you will see the main attractions of the city. It turns out that tourists have the opportunity to combine the useful (exploring the city) with pleasant (lunch in a good restaurant). In general, here you will feel as if you are right at home!
The cafe operates according to the following schedule:
- Monday to Wednesday and Sunday - 11.00-23.00;
- on Thursday from 11.00 to midnight;
- Friday-Saturday - from 11.00 to 01.00.
Restaurant on Amirkhan Street
For some unknown reason, the third restaurant in the chain was named not “Rubai”, but “Darkhan”. Cafes decided to open in that part of the city where there are no good institutions with Uzbek cuisine.
Now everyone can enjoy the Uzbek specialty pilaf and many other dishes in the restaurant “Darhan” of the Rubai chain on Amirkhan (83rd house) in Kazan. In addition, a cafe is open daily from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Outing banquets and catering
The team of each of the network objects believes that their main mission is a professional individual approach to any of the events. The staff of the institutions fulfills all possible desires of customers and is constantly developing new or improving old formats of restaurant services.
The Rubai Restaurant (Kazan), the address of which you can choose above, offers guests to order a catering service for any event: be it a wedding or any business conference. In addition, it is worth noting that the employees of the institutions of this network have vast experience in organizing field and local events. Administrators assure that they have cooperated with major Russian and even foreign companies during the existence of restaurants, which indicates a high quality of service.
Each restaurant "Rubai" (Kazan), photos of which are presented in this article, allows you to hold a banquet in a special room. At your celebration will be attended only by the most delicious dishes of Uzbek cuisine, and if you want to organize a buffet or, for example, any corporate party in the open air, then this will also be done!
By the way, it’s useful information that the restaurants of the Rubai chain also provide clearing services after off-site banquets for an additional fee so that the client can rest humanly. If you do not want to clean yourself, be sure to contact the administration!

Reviews
Many customers unanimously claim that in Kazan there are no better institutions with Uzbek cuisine than the restaurants of the Rubai chain. Guests are completely satisfied with the service, which is at the highest level, very tasty dishes and reasonable pricing.
Outreach ceremonies under the control of the restaurant are perfect. In addition, one of the advantages of the network is the ability to deliver meals to your home. It is carried out daily, but not around the clock. Unfortunately, it is not yet possible to make an order on the official website of institutions online, but you should hope to introduce this function in the near future.
