Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse

$$, Cafe, Boulder

User Rating: ***** 4.6

Fodor's Review:

Unique to Colorado, this teahouse is a gift from Boulder's sister city, Dushanbe, Tajikistan. Tajik artisans handcrafted the building in a traditional style that includes ceramic Islamic art and a carved, painted ceiling. The menu presents a culinary cross section of the world; your meal could include such dishes as Spanish seafood paella, Burmese coconut curry, or Tabrizi kooftah balls (Persian meatballs with dried fruits, nuts, and herbs in a tomato sauce). The house-tea gingerbread is a favorite. Relax during high tea at 3 PM (reservations required) with one of more than 80 varieties of tea. Creekside patio tables have views of Central Park. Brunch is served on weekends.

A memorable experience

A trip to the teahouse for the atmosphere alone is worth your time, but in addition to dining in the exquisite hand-crafted structure, you experience exceptional food, service and don't miss the teas!

Let Them Eat Cake

Posted by Erica from Fairbanks, Alaska on 9/13/06

When I walked into the Dushanbe Teahouse, I felt like I had just stepped into another country. The atmosphere was incredible. For the most part, the food wasn't too great, but the gingerbread cake was INCREDIBLE. It had a fantastic texture and amazing flavor, which I am guessing roots from the tea in the cake. The tea is also very good, a very original mix of flavors. Overall, I had a great experience at this teahouse.
