Moderate evidence. The restaurant's own words, but not specific about everything it serves. Unverified never means not halal.
Nobody from YepItsHalal has been here. We have not visited, phoned or seen a certificate for this place. When we do, this page says so and the listing carries our badge.

Somewhere to pray
Nobody has told us whether there is somewhere to pray inside Samarkand. That is not a no, it is a gap. Been? Tell us
The closest mosque we know of to Samarkand. Distances are in a straight line, so treat the walk as a rough idea.

- Aziziye Mosque and Community Centreabout 7 min
From OpenStreetMap, and not checked by us. Hardly any of these carry opening times, and a mosque listed as open may still be locked, so ring ahead for a particular prayer. All prayer spaces
