The Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse

A Delightful Treat for all your Senses

by ravenrobyn at Citysearch

If you are from out of town, or local, and are looking for a unique dining experience, this place should not be missed. Our server, Kerri, was knowledgeable about the dishes, teas, and was delightful.

The food was amazing; a nice balance of flavors, fresh ingredients, and unique ethnic recipes. The history and spectacle of the Teahouse is treat all on it's own.

If you would like to amaze your eyes, treat your pallet, and enhance your well being, all at a reasonable price, this is the place for you!

PS- We are leaving town tomorrow, but we absolutely have to go to lunch here again on the way to the airport! If we lived in the area, we would be here once a week, minimum.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!

My BF and I visited the tea house on our trip to Boulder (We're from Denver) and it was superb! The tea was to die for and the food was authentic and delicious! I don't understand any of the bad reviews this place has gotten. The service was great and the atmosphere was heavenly.

We went on a Friday for afternoon tea and it wasn't noisy or extremely busy in the slightest. We sat next to the fountain and were able to watch the koi fish swim by during our entire meal. The architecture, carvings, and art were breathtaking!

My BF remarked that he hasn't had hummus as authentic as Dushanbe's since his trip to Israel. Both our entrees were under $10 and delicious! All together our entire meal (tea for two, appetizer, and two entrees) was only $36. Not over-priced at all. I can't wait to go back!!

• Pros: Atmosphere, food, tea

Must Visit

by BLM666 at Citysearch

I recently visited the Tea House for a Bridal Shower brunch and was blown away by this amazing place. I am a Colorado Native and never knew it existed! The bulding is beautiful inside and out. Yes, it was noisy but, so are other places. It was very busy which means it's a popular place. This is an absolute "must visit" place that certainly screams Boulder, CO. We had excellant service and great food (and champagne). I will certainly visit again with friends and family.

• Pros: Beautiful and Unique
• Cons: Noise

The building history and architecture is delightful, tea is good, for $$$, ambiance is not afternoon tea worthy for a special occasion. Floors are cement, it's noisy & they don't use china tea cups

It was my Grandaughter's 10th birthday. We've been preparing afternoon tea and serving it every time I visit since she was 6 years old. Going OUT for Afternoon Tea was suppose to be special. The first impressions were the cement floors (not good). The tables were nice and the selection of tea adequate. It was noisy, there was no quiet background music and we had to ask for more tea sandwiches. There was champagne for me but no sparkling cider for my grandaughter. Our waiter was something of a nervous nelly (I think too many tables to serve). My grandaughter's review, "I think we do a better job of Afternoon Tea at home." I've attended Afternoon Tea in England, Canada and other cities in the US. Your restaurant owners should attend other Afternoon Tea experiences to pick up some valuable pointers. Afternoon Tea is much more than white table cloths and serving tea.

• Pros: Interesting history and architecture, adequate selection of tea
• Cons: cement floors (rugs would help) noisy, no quiet background music, no china tea cups, tea sandwiches & deserts were slight

Unique Tea House

by colojess at Citysearch

I have only eaten at the tea house for breakfast and I must say it was wonderful. The selection of teas are amazing and the imported decorations (heck the whole building) is a wonder to take in while sipping your favorite selection. You if go at the right time you can walk right out to the farmer's market. It is a great Boulder experience :)

• Pros: Decorations, selections of teas
• Cons: Limited menu
