Popular spot in Boulder. We wanted to do high tea but couldn't get reservations so we opted for walk-in to have brunch. Fortunately we only waited for 10 minutes (we got there right at 11am). Afterwards it got packed. The building is beautiful both inside and outside. I love all the decor on the inside, very intricate. The interior is well lit and spacious. Our server was very friendly and attentive. Our food came out in a timely manner. My daughter enjoyed the Lapsang Souchong Bulgogi. The bulgogi was tender and well seasoned. However, my Benedict was meh. The bulgogi was too thick and chewy, and the side potatoes were too salty. I really wanted to like my dish but it just wasn't good. Overall, it was a good experience, and I definitely want to come back to try their high tea.
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.
**vegetarian review** Cute spot along the boulder creek. We went around afternoon tea but got a table outdoors right away. We got the beet salad, Swedish toast, saag paneer and sabich. Really everything was delicious! I also got the lady grey garden tea, it was so floral and delicious! The hosts were nice! Overall definitely recommend
Delicious food and excellent service at Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse! We tried the Persian dolma, Thai beef vegetablesalad, and Saag paneer, and every dish was delicious. The excellent service made the experience even better. Highly recommend!
I took my best friend here for a birthday afternoon tea. Everyone was so nice - they even gave us a hugger flower vase at our table! we had a regular and vegan afternoon tea and it was filling and delicious. The inside is so unique and beautiful - I would come here many more times. I'm finding more excuses to!
Dushanbe Teahouse isn't just a typical tea house you'd find on a random corner - this is an experience! Found myself at a nearby farmers market on a Sunday strolling past this articulately magnificent building to see a lush garden out front. Being told: "it's hard to get a table," "you can only get single drinks at the counter," "the wait is long" did not deter me and fortune was on my side. Came early right after opening and was sat almost immediately, but it did fill up quickly thereafter. The interior is something of a marvel, staff working in unison, flowing through the tables and behind the counter with ease; it was a worthwhile experience to feast the eyes on. Onto the tea - I tried the Puerh Silver Needle tea and was delicious! Very earthy with a light almond taste that took me to cloud 9; I was in absolute zen. The food (breakfast) was great and filling too! For an Tajikistan style place they really understand what an "American Breakfast" is and would recommend. Feast your eyes on its awe inspiring decor, come for the tea, stay for the breakfast and take in the moment as this is must see and do location when visiting Boulder! I strongly recommend it!
This landmark in Downtown Boulder is a gem. The big fusion menu, the exotic and colorful interior. Diversity of tea and cuisine from all over the world. The staff is also knowledgeable about this menu! So glad that we visited here!
This was such a fun tea service! We had heard great things about this spot and decided to make a reservation for their afternoon tea service on a Monday afternoon. We were surprised to find it very crowded at 4pm when we visited. There's a small area at the front of the restaurant and a lot of folks were gathered there waiting for their tables. It took several minutes before the hostess checked us in and let us know it would be a few minute wait. A bit later we were guided to our seats. I appreciated that they took trouble to make it feel like a special experience - with white tablecloths, decor and the cutlery. They seemed a bit short staffed that day so our server was helping out many tables. He was very helpful in explaining the menu, though we did have to ask specifically to receive the full tea menu. We decided on a few teas to share - a spiced white chocolate white tea, rooibos chai, and a hibiscus cooler (iced and non-caffeinated). The spiced white chocolate was fantastic. I wasn't as much of a fan of the rooibos but if you like less sweet teas this is a good choice. The hibiscus cooler was delicious and refreshing, and I liked that they let us take it to go! Our amuse bouche came out first - a delicious pumpkin seed savory small soup and it was fantastic. We eagerly awaited our tea tower - and it certainly did not disappoint! We are still thinking about the delicious spinach and artichoke pinwheel with olive tapenade - it was our absolute favorite. The savory sandwiches were also delicious. We especially enjoyed the clotted cream and lemon curd with the scone, and the desserts were delectable. We were stuffed by the end of our teatime! Our server was very helpful and despite it being very busy, we felt taken care of. I think this is a very worthwhile experience - the tea, sweets, and savories are all delicious and definitely worth checking out!
Beautiful building with so much character and history, friendly and attentive service, easy parking and delicious food and tea! We loved everything about this place! We had to wait about 20 mins without a reservation on a weekday - im guessing weekends are busier. The menu is influenced from countries along the silk route and has a dish from various different countries. We tried the swedish svamptoast, malaysian sambal curry, indonesian peanut noodle, choo chee salmon. Everything was flavorful, a little spicy, good quantities and the value for money was also great - each dish was $20-$23 range which is great for such an ambience. We also tried their chai - which was lightly spiced and one of the black teas (pineapple chilli) - and these were delicious too! We had kids with us and they were super friendly and nice towards them and accommodating to menu changes based on preferences. Overall - highly recommend this place!
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.
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.
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.
We were in town for the day exploring Boulder, and every guide I looked up highly recommended this Michelin Guide-recommended place. We came for a weekend brunch around 11 am and got seated immediately, but by the time we finished our meal, the restaurant was completely packed and it looked like there was a bit of a wait outside. I started off with their peach oolong team and love that all their teas come served in a pot. My husband and I split the Palatschinken, which are Austrian crepes stuffed with sweetened cheese and topped with an apricot cherry chutney and candied walnuts. Reminded me of a fancy blintz and I'm here for it! It was on their small plates menu so came with two small pieces, which was perfect size for us to wet our appetites. For my main course, I got the Lapsang Souchong Benedict. The tea flavor throughout the dish was light, almost an aromatic note. My husband went with the classic two eggs, potatoes and a biscuit. All done very well and tasty! The building itself is gorgeous. It's a gift from Boulder's sister city in Tajikistan, and the entire structure was handcrafted by Tajik artisans before being shipped over. The ornate decor inside with hand-carved pillars and ceiling paintings is just breathtaking. You'll feel as if you've been transported straight to Dushanbe. I also loved the variety of their menu that features dishes along the Silk Road spanning from Central Asian to South East Asian. Definitely a memorable stop and lives up to the hype. Highly recommend to check this out, but come earlier to beat the crowd. read more
We were able to sit down for brunch during the weekend without having a reservation. The service was great, the food was fantastic, and the ambiance and decor are unique and gorgeous. Check out the ceilings pictured! This is a great place to go if you'd like to try something new. The menu is varied and representative of the different cultures in Central Asia. Thank you to the people of Tajikistan for such a lovely restaurant! Dushanbe, Tajikistan's capital, is a sister city of Boulder, and this teahouse was a wonderful gift. read more
Absolutely stunning location with a beautiful story tied to it. As far as interior and exterior goes, there is no contest. Worth the trip just to ogle the architecture. Anyway... My friends and I are tea time enthusiasts and made the drive to celebrate my birthday. We came for the afternoon tea after finally scoring a reservation (it's quite competitive!). Our server was very helpful and friendly and I went home with a special little birthday treat of his favorite blend which I can attest, is very yummy. Food was tasty and had a variation or two on the usual fare, which was fun. The tea portion of the experience is where things fell short and why I can't give 5 stars. We were only allowed one choice of tea each and not much opportunity to share given the quantity provided. This approach of one tea per person isn't super uncommon, but for people who want to try multiple teas during their reservation, it's a big bummer - especially with the higher price tags. I don't regret the visit but it isn't a top "tea time" location for me. read more

What a joyous culinary experience! We arrived on time for our dinner reservation and were seated immediately. Service throughout was cheerful, thorough and we were made to feel truly welcomed which we appreciated. The building is astoundingly beautiful from the moment you walk up to the heavenly scented rose garden out front to the handmade tile building to the statues in the fountain that lend just the right amount of peaceful tranquility....it's all quite remarkable to the senses. Then comes the feast with international influences from Persia to Africa to Asia, etc, it brings a masterful collection of flavors. We ordered the bao, hummus plate and Mediterranean salad to start and all were excellent. The bao was my favorite, pillowy soft with succulent pork. For mains we ordered: the lamb shish kabebs which were as expected and served with a delicious rice and tzatziki sauce, next was the spicy Indonesian peanut noodles with chicken and this was amazingly flavorful and perfectly prepared, but our last one was my favorite and that was the African Shoko which was beef that was so tender and delicious and paired with plantains and peppers which gave it this mild sweet heat that was an absolute delight! We most certainly couldn't end the night without dessert so we opted for the chocolate espresso mousse and the Austrian apple streusel which reminded me of my Grandma in the most perfect and beautiful way, it was delicious and if I hadn't been so full I would have eaten every bite! What a tremendous experience! I cannot wait to come back and try their tea service! This place is truly special! read more

Booked afternoon tea. The food and tea was incredible. The place itself is beautiful. My friend is gluten free but they had a fantastic gluten free service for her. Definitely need reservations for this place because they were packed! We parked a little farther away and walked there but there was some street parking in front. read more
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. read more

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. read more
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! read more

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! read more

First time here and it was amazing!! Kate was so friendly and very helpful in ordering. The Lady Grey Garden was delicious and paired well the noodles. And of course the building itself is so beautiful. Great place if you love tea and enjoy a good bite. The menu is very versatile which is much appreciated read more
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. read 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. read more

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. read more
They do not take reservations for brunch or lunch so there will be a wait. We arrived shortly before 1pm. We chose to sit in the area with QR code menus since it was open seating instead of waiting over an hour for inside. The full-service patio would have been a wait as well, but we could not be guaranteed shade and we had someone in our party that could not sit in the sun due to medical issues. We sat down and used the QR to pull up the online order feature. My daughter pulled up the menu on her phone from their website as the descriptions on the online ordering site were more like a list of ingredients on packaging that included everything. For example if a bread was listed it had all the ingredients that went into that bread. All of this was strung together and was difficult to read and pull out what was in the dish overall. My friend ordered eggs and toast. She flagged someone down for help as she could not select the type of toast, only to find out there is only one type available unless you need gluten free. It would be helpful if that was noted. I got the Mediterranean salad of mixed greens, hummus, dolma, cucumber, tomato, feta, olive, herb vinaigrette, and pita. The dressing was very light on flavor. The bread was half a pita cut into four pieces. Dolma and hummus were tasty. My daughter got the Volcan de Guanajuato. It was salsa verde, tomatoes, nopales, chorizo, caramelized pearl onions, queso Oaxaca, two eggs, and black bean tortillas. The tortillas seemed like they could be cooked more. They were bland. The chorizo was ok. However, the salsa verde smothering had some chile heat, a slight tang and no other flavor. She ended up eating one of the eggs and a piece of the chorizo, but the rest was not appetizing due to being flavorless. We each ordered a tea. They were ok when they did arrive. The table next to us had five people and they needed assistance with their QR code and ordering so we knew they ordered after we did. However, their drinks arrived at their table while we were still waiting for ours. Our food arrived and I asked about the drinks which still had not come. The waitperson advised he thought they would be out soon. It was literally just three iced teas from their basic tea list, no add-ins or special requests. This was on the pricier side. I expected that due to it's location. It is a pretty building. I doubt I would go back though. read more

It is absolutely no surprise that Dushanbe Teahouse is on the Michelin Guide - everything about this restaurant from start to finish was a dining experience. Walk up to the entrance, beautiful surroundings. Gorgeous plant life and a flowing river on the side. If you choose to sit outside, when the weather is good, I'd imagine it would be a peaceful and relaxing dining experience. We sat inside. Incredibly intricate architecture and design inside that draws you into the restaurant. As expected, they have a huge tea menu. Their Sweet Seduction White Tea was light and fruity. They serve it to you still steeping in the teapot with instructions to remove the tea leaves once the hourglass is empty. Also a nice selection of tea-based cocktails - their Matcha Made in Heaven was the perfect mash-up with tea and alcohol, so tasty. Smaller dinner menu with some great options. Their Tajik Osh was a perfect combination of spices with veggies and beef - went great with the na'an. 10/10 recommend. Definitely make reservations days in advance as they fill up. We booked ours 2 days in advance and got the last available reservation at 8:30pm. So if you want a better time, you really should plan ahead. As I said, a wonderful dining experience. Great for any occasion. Highly recommend. read more
I'm a few months late to writing this review, but this place has, by far, been one of our favorite restaurants in Boulder. I decided to surprise my other half with dinner reservations here for his birthday, and we absolutely loved it! From the food to the atmosphere, the whole experience was amazing. Although I will say, I'm happy I double checked that we'd be getting the table in the corner (can't remember the name,) because they had planned to seat us elsewhere when I had verbal confirmation a few days before that we'd be getting that table. But I was relieved it all worked out. Our waitress was super helpful with recommendations and checked in on us just enough to make sure we didn't feel forgotten, even when they got slammed. The food and drinks were pretty tasty - we got a tea-infused alcoholic beverage, rooibos tea, a salmon dish, and a chicken dish. We also got a free dessert of our choice since we were celebrating a birthday. I think I may have outdone myself this year, especially since this place was on both of our bucket lists, but I think it's become a special place for us. Lots of good memories tied to this restaurant now. Highly recommend coming here! read more

Took my wife and her mom here, and the price to ambiance ratio remains quite strong. Portions are quite large, extensive tea selection, and their espresso mousse is impeccable. Did I talk about the ambiance, beautifully ornate and tastefully decorated! In the summer they have nice outdoor seating and the tea house is located by the river. The shashlik and shoko are two items you must try more than once. Service is a hit or a miss. read more
This is a must visit every time I come to Boulder. It's beautifully decorated and even has a cute outdoor seating area. I had an amazing tea cocktail with vanilla bean tea and rum. My daughter and I shared 4 small plates: Swedish Svamptoast wild mushroom, goat cheese, truffle oil on grilled artisanal bread... Persian Dolma Bademjan eggplant stuffed with rice... Samosas and Pork Bao Buns. Perfect! You can't go wrong, everything is delicious. Just be prepared for a wait as they're always busy. They take dinner reservations. read more

One of the biggest treasures we have in Boulder County! I've been here for brunch, lunch, dinner and afternoon tea. My most recent visit was for dinner to honor the anniversary of my mom's passing. It was a place we would often go together. It also happens to be the location of my second date with my husband. So, it's a place that has a lot of personal significance. The food, service and environment also happen to be excellent! I ordered the Indian Samosa for an appetizer, the Italian Polenta with Shrimp for my entree and the Espresso Chocolate Mousse for dessert. All were amazing! The Dushanbe also has one of the best chais I've had in Colorado! The environment is so gorgeous! There's a fountain in the center of the restaurant, huge paintings on the wall. and a building that was shipped from Tajikistan. You feel like you are dining in another country. It's a place that I always take out of town guests because it is so special. The customer service last night was also special. Our server, Micaela, was very friendly, warm and attentive. She let the manager, Patrick, know that I was celebrating my mom. He came over to the table and we had a nice conversation about celebrating our parents who have died as well as the positive culture that is present at the restaurant. That positive culture is due to Patrick. I just love this place, and now I love it even more. If you want a special dining experience this is the place to go! read more

Always magical coming here. Amazing history. Flavors are so well thought out and obviously everything the tea house it is so beautiful. Really recommend getting the samosas and getting a couple pots of tea to try. Service is great. It takes a little bit to get seating and eat but I feel it's 100 percent worth it. read more
We made reservations a couple days in advance for afternoon tea. You'll need to do this at least 24 hours in advance if you want a seat at this tea house. We came a little early and were told that we needed to show up at exactly 3 pm since that's how busy they were and they were still serving people lunch. So no they will not seat you early. Parking was a little tough, despite it being a weekday, there were no spots and I had to circle around the block a few times to find a spot. You'll have to pay a few bucks for parking as well (expected in Boulder). I enjoyed a refreshing hibiscus's cooler tea and my friends had hot tea. They all tasted very unique and pleasant. The tower of pastries and small bites that we got were also very good. I really enjoyed the savory items on the first and second floor. The top floor was filled with sweet treats and were a little too rich for me. This is a great spot if you're looking to take that special someone out on a first date, or enjoy an afternoon tea with family/friends. read more

Can one get just tea a scone?
Yes! You can absolutely get simply a pot of tea with a pastry!
As a first timer, do you recommend brunch, lunch, or dinner? Thanks
I recommend the formal afternoon tea. You must make reservations at least 24 hours in advance with a credit card. For about $30 you get a pot of tea and wonderful selection of nibbles and desserts. They're extremely good with allergies and dietary…
During Covid, Are reservations allowed or required to dine here?
When we went they didn't require reservations and had people well spaced. This was in October of 2020. Hope this helps!
