Dine at The Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse

The Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse is an icon of global friendship and a beautiful place to dine. The teahouse offers an enormous selection of teas from around the world to taste and sip along with a rotating menu of delicious foods to choose between. If it’s too late in the day for tea, try one of the delicious cocktails cooked up fresh to compliment any meal. As you eat you’ll soak in an ornate artistic tradition nearly 2,000 years old that bursts out of the wood in an array of color.

In 1987 Boulder, Colorado became a sister city of Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan. That year, Mayor Maksud Ikramov announced a gift to celebrate the tie: the teahouse. It was deconstructed piece-by-piece from its home in Tajikistan and rebuilt with faithful delicacy in Boulder. It is a hallmark of not only the lavish Persian art that excites the magic of the imagination but of how humanity finds neighbors wherever it looks, even if those neighbors are halfway around the world.

If you’re ever unsure of where to dine while wandering Boulder then choose the Dushanbe Teahouse. There is no better place to relax before or after exploring Pearl Street—only a few blocks north. As you dine you’ll notice that the dozen cedar columns, with intricate patterns jumping off their surface, all wear distinct designs. No two are alike. It is an incredible amount of detail to absorb, which makes every visit to the teahouse a refreshing experience.

Each day the teahouse offers Afternoon Tea for a small fee. It’s a tradition that offers respite from busy schedules to take a moment to breathe and reinvigorate after bouncing from one obligation to the next. Tea is served along with English-style pastries, cakes, sandwiches, and more, baked fresh to complement a premium pot of tea. It’s the perfect way to recharge the day.

Traditionally, teahouses are places of gathering. To meet, speak, and rekindle the bonds that bind us to one another and to the world at large. Carry the tradition forward by making your next date at The Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse.
