A very cool meat market, but it’s all the same. There’s an upstairs with dried fruits, spices, nuts and seeds. The sellers are very engaging and try to convince you to stop at every stand. Hygiene isn’t of huge concern, the smell of death is in the room and birds wander and poop right in the goods. I’ll label this one “authentic”.

Very good bazaar easily reached by the Metro. You can happily spend an hour wandering through all the stalls and being "surprised" by what's on offer. Certainly worth the effort to visit.

Fun place to visit for the wide variety of produce, especially dried fruits and nuts. However, be sure to visit the supermarket before you buy anything. Most of the same food products can be purchased there at very reasonable prices and no silly haggling.

Excellent shopping district. There is everything. Even Souvenirs & cloths for tourists. Bargain hard & you will get a good price. Flowers, seeds, grocery, clothes, shoes, etc.

The best place to shopping souvenir to bring back home and the place you get everything in Uzbekistan.. The food heavens also.. Dry fruits,biscuit, chocolate, clothes,beef and poultry product..event plants also there..

I’ll be honest, blue dome looks amazing. But inside upon entering is meat and only meat. Outside much better so many options to explore like shop or eat food or clothes etc. get ready to give at least 2 hrs to see small part.

Authentic place to see The sellers are but more aggressive than other places in Uzbekistan The prices are better than in Bukhara or Samarkand I did see two people throwing up there Birds are pooping into the goods so don’t buy stuff if you are very careful about hygiene

Fascinating place. Reporting from first week of September 2025, heavy construction work is ongoing around the complex and also inside. But still fine to visit shortly to see the buildings.

Wonderful experience. You get to see oldest existing Quran written by Hazrat Usman with his blood stains on Quran. There are also Qurans in different languages. Ticket price is 60000 som about $5 per person.

I visited this complex during my trip to Uzbekistan, and it was a beautiful place. The architecture is stunning, the turquoise tiles and details create such a peaceful and impressive atmosphere. You can truly feel the historical spirit of the place as you walk around. There are also small shops nearby where you can buy souvenirs and local crafts. I bought silk scarves and some paintings — all of them were beautiful and high-quality.

A truly stunning place. Giant structures, bright colors and amazing tilework. Come during the day to visit. You will need to buy tickets. Return in the evening to watch light and sound show from outside the square. No tickets but come before the show to get better viewing spots. Check the timing at the hotel.

A perfect blend of heritage buildings and modern architecture, the Hazrati Imam Complex is truly captivating. I was amazed by the intricate wood carvings, brickwork, and tile designs throughout the complex. Entry is free for most areas, except for the Muyi Mubarak Madrasah, where the historic Mushaf Uthman is preserved. The peaceful ambience felt natural for a place rich in history and religious significance. The open spaces and beautiful gardens provide a perfect spot to soak in the serenity.

I would give 5 stars but the complex is currently only partly accessible, there are construction materials everywhere and you cannot get into many main buildings. Nevertheless, a must when you visit Tashkent

I wish I had payed attention to the information about the restoration works in the surroundings, due to which all the compex is closed, but I one. am sure this place will be the great spot when d

The Minor Mosque is one of the most beautiful and peaceful places to visit in Tashkent. Its stunning white marble architecture shines brilliantly under the sunlight, giving it a calm and majestic presence. The mosque is modern yet built in a traditional Islamic style, offering a perfect mix of elegance and spirituality. It is located beside a serene canal and surrounded by a large, lush garden that’s full of greenery and very well maintained. The clean and peaceful environment adds to the overall experience. I had the opportunity to pray Juma Namaz (Friday prayer) here, and it was a spiritually fulfilling experience. The mosque is spacious and well-organized, making it a comfortable place for worshippers. It’s especially beautiful during sunset when the mosque takes on a golden glow. Easily accessible by metro or taxi, the Minor Mosque is a must-visit for those interested in architecture, culture, or simply seeking peace.

I came here for a Friday prayer. The masjid is located in a very beautiful area. It sits next to a river, and has a large courtyard in front and a walking garden in the rear. There is a cemetery past that garden. While the interior of the masjid is on the smaller size, it is beautifully decorated with calligraphy and setpieces. The surrounding area is lively and has many places to visit for shopping and dining after a visit to this masjid. There is also a women's prayer area.

A peaceful place to observe and reflect. I enjoyed watching the believers pray and experiencing the calm atmosphere of the mosque.

Beautiful mosque but we visited at after sunset so I believe we missed the charm and glow of architecture.

The masjid is spacious and well-maintained. I offered Juma prayer there, and the Azan, Takbeer, and Tilawat were deeply relaxing.

The white mosque. It is incredibly serene and majestic. Try to come during the evening to see the laminating light.

The Minor Mosque is one of Tashkent’s most beautiful and serene landmarks. Clad in white marble with a striking blue dome, it stands gracefully along the Ankhor River, offering a calm and inviting atmosphere. Its elegant architecture, intricate details, and spacious courtyard make it a perfect place for quiet reflection or a peaceful stroll. Whether you’re visiting for spiritual reasons or simply to admire its beauty, the mosque leaves a lasting impression.

This is a market in the Oloy district. There is a large dome-shaped sales area near the main street, and behind it is a market under a large roof. There are many vegetables, fruits, and spices at the stalls. The products look very nice and are displayed neatly. Many of them are wrapped in plastic. There are also many restaurants, and I had lagman. By the way, there was no beer. The renovated [BAXT-NAZIR Мясные И Молочные Продукты] is excellent, and on the first floor they sell cheap sweets and drinks, and the sweets and juices were quite delicious. They also have coffee, but it looks like it's been roasted a long time, so take a closer look. The toilets are 3,000 soʻm

It's a good bazaar much smaller than Chorsu. Fruits vegetables available in abundance. There are some good restaurants also available around Alay Bazaar.

A lot smaller and manageable than the Chorsu Market. It as a tourist, you still pretty much get what you want like dried fruits and nuts and Uzbek souvenirs like Suzani, wood carvings ceramics etc. Locals told me that it’s a market for the rich so prices maybe a bit higher but quality is better too. Did not do detail price comparison but found it to be reasonable compared to local supermarkets. The place is very clean.

On the positive side, the market is clean and has a nice open area. However, Alay Market is quite expensive, and they charge tourists much higher prices. It’s disappointing. Instead of overpricing, they should aim to make tourists feel welcome and offer fair prices to encourage more people to shop

It doesn’t have the same character that Chorsu Market does . Easier to get around . Also, there is a supermarket by the side

Wide variety of dry fruits and fruits, but expensive compared to other market however it’s worth buying.

A quality show of fresh local produce in a clean and open environment. I loved haggling with the locals. If you’re a tourist you will be ripped off, but thankfully it will only amount to pennies.

This mall is impressive shiny and interesting. Don’t aspect low prices- its hi Europe prices from coffee to cloths, but for a rest from the hot climate outside, and enjoy the sights

I really like this mall, the security guard is friendly and helpful. If you are lost you can go to them. I also found a good toilet here. When I'll be back here, I'll visit this place again. Salute to security guard 😊🤍

A well managed, full of variety shopping mall with well known brands, a food court and other facilities. Loved the cars on the display

I visited Tashkent City Mall to exchange currency, as I didn’t have any soms (Uzbek currency). The mall has several forex shops and is impressive both inside and outside. There’s a great display of vintage cars and a wide range of stores—from cars and clothing to food. Opposite the mall are the beautifully lit Tashkent City Park and Hilton Hotel, where you can enjoy a fountain show and stunning evening lights. A great place to visit, both for shopping and sightseeing!

Tashkent City Mall is not just a modern shopping and entertainment complex; it’s also a hub for residents and visitors alike. This new mall features over 250 brands, including both international and local stores. You’ll find well-known names like 12Storeez, Adidas, Bershka, Calvin Klein Jeans, Diesel, and more. The complex also includes numerous restaurants, cinemas, and relaxation areas. Panoramic windows offer stunning views of the city, allowing you to enjoy the beauty of Tashkent.

Tashkent City Mall – A New Landmark for Shopping and Leisure Located at the heart of the capital, just across from the relaxing greenery of Tashkent City Park, the Tashkent City Mall is one of the newest and most impressive additions to Uzbekistan’s retail and entertainment scene. With its sleek architecture and spacious design, the mall offers a world-class shopping experience that blends modern luxury with local charm. Inside, visitors will find a wide selection of international and Uzbek brands, from fashion and electronics to beauty, homeware, and lifestyle products. The mall’s bright, airy interiors and clean, organized layout make browsing a pleasure, while its high-end finishes reflect the sophistication of Tashkent’s evolving urban culture. Beyond shopping, Tashkent City Mall offers a full day of entertainment and dining. A modern food court caters to all tastes, featuring both global fast-food chains and traditional Uzbek cuisine. Stylish cafés and restaurants provide relaxing spots to unwind, while cinemas and interactive zones entertain families and younger visitors. Whether you’re looking to shop, dine, or simply escape the city’s bustle in a cool, elegant environment, Tashkent City Mall is a must-visit destination. Its convenient location and vibrant atmosphere make it a favorite for both locals and tourists eager to explore the modern face of Tashkent.

I recently visited and had a pretty enjoyable experience overall. The mall has a great mix of both high-end and more affordable stores, offering something for everyone. I was particularly impressed with the spacious layout, which made it easy to navigate without feeling overcrowded. The food court was another highlight—lots of variety, from quick bites to sit-down restaurants. I appreciated the cleanliness of the common areas, and the restrooms were well-maintained, which is always a plus. Parking can be a bit of a hassle during peak hours, but there’s plenty of space overall. I also noticed a lot of kids’ play areas, which is great for families. The only downside I’d mention is that some stores feel a bit overpriced, but that’s to be expected with this kind of mall. Also, I think more entertainment options (like a movie theater or arcade) would make the experience even better. Overall, it’s a solid mall with a good atmosphere, convenient amenities, and a wide variety of shopping and dining options. I’d definitely recommend it if you’re in the area!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 Pro.Khinkali was one of the most impressive restaurants I’ve visited in Tashkent. They serve authentic Georgian cuisine in a modern and impeccably clean environment. The restaurant is exceptionally hygienic — the kitchen is completely transparent, allowing guests to watch the chefs prepare each dish. This level of openness creates a real sense of trust and professionalism. The staff were truly outstanding — polite, attentive, and very professional toward tourists. Their hospitality and service quality were exceptional. I honestly felt so embarrassed that I couldn’t leave a tip, as I didn’t have any cash with me at the time. I truly regret that, because they absolutely deserved it. I sincerely thank the entire team for such a wonderful experience. I’ll definitely come back and highly recommend this place to everyone. 👏

We had heard great things about the lamb here, so all six of us decided to order it and were really looking forward to the experience. The meat was indeed tender, but unfortunately, it was a bit too salty, which took away from the overall flavor. The service left much to be desired. While the waiting staff were kind and polite, the food took far too long to arrive, and it was quite difficult to get the staff’s attention when needed. Even something as simple as a small doughnut took nearly half an hour to be served.

Aug 2025 By far, the best FnB experience in Tashkent to date. The customer service and engagement is top notch (on par with the food). The waitress are attentive and very pleasant to engage with (versus other Uzbek restaurants which looks like they want to pick a fight with you). Kudos that the wait staff realised we are not local and gave us an English menu (very attentive!) Good intro to Georgian cuisine (albeitly localised to Uzbek taste), but still good nevertheless. Reminds me of "Puri" and "xia long pau" back home ... Shows that food can cross cultures. Definitely will return again.

This Georgian restaurant, nestled in the heart of Tashkent, impresses with its elegant and tasteful interiors and a diverse menu that spans from beloved Georgian classics to lesser-known regional specialties, along with some new, more exciting and creative reinterpretations adding a modern twist to the timeless classics of the Georgian cuisine. We couldn’t resist trying their cheburek, an unexpected addition to a Georgian menu, but absolutely outstanding in taste. The khinkali, including the fried version, which I initially approached with some skepticism, turned out to be some of the best I’ve ever had. Hands up for their selection of Georgian wines and top notch service, simply impeccable. All in all, this was a very pleasant dining experience as this restaurant definitely stands out for its authentic, unique and delicious cuisine in the somewhat monotonous Tashkent’s culinary scene.

Truly an amazing experience! The Khinkali were very flavorful, the wine was fantastic, and the honey cake was the best cake I ever had. This restaurant should be on your list if you are in Tashkent!

It has nice ambience and good service. But… I ordered chicken shmerkuli, and i was server raw chicken! And they said that’s Georgian recipe to eat like this.. never heard anything like that before. Anyhow they offered to bring me chicken shashlik instead of cooking this meet properly. Shashlik was not raw but could have been cooked a bit longer as well.

Visited in September 2025. Uzbekistan 🇺🇿 Tashkent. We chose Pro.Khinkali based on glowing reviews, expecting a delicious meal. The spacious interior, adorned in vibrant Eastern style with an open kitchen, creates an engaging atmosphere where you can watch the chefs at work, adding a layer of transparency and charm. FOOD: The restaurant serves Georgian cuisine with a distinct Eastern flair. Naturally, we ordered khinkali—a must for any visitor—along with chebureks and a grilled lyulya kebab. The beef khinkali were impressive, with thin, smooth, well-seasoned dough encasing a rich, flavorful broth. The meat was tasty and well-spiced, though a few pieces had unwelcome sinews, which slightly marred the experience. The chebureks were stunning: golden, crispy, puffed-up dough filled with perfectly seasoned, sinew-free beef mince, delivering a juicy, satisfying bite. The lyulya kebab was equally delightful, made with quality meat and paired with a fresh tomato salad. The vegetable salad was a great side, with ripe, crisp veggies that complemented the meal beautifully. SERVICE: The service was warm and professional. When we mentioned the sinews in the khinkali, the manager promptly assured us that the batch of mince would be inspected, showcasing a commitment to quality that every restaurant should aspire to. As a kind gesture, they offered us a complimentary dessert, which was a lovely touch. VERDICT: Plov Project is one of Tashkent’s finest restaurants, delivering exceptional food, warm service, and a vibrant atmosphere. Watching khinkali being crafted in the open kitchen is a fascinating bonus. Despite a minor hiccup with the khinkali, this was our best dining experience in the city, and we highly recommend it to anyone visiting Tashkent.

Fantastic first meal in Tashkent. We had breakfast and it was excellent. The staff was so helpful and attentive. We ordered the set breakfast and they brought out so much food. Everything they brought out was delicious. We couldn't decide what we liked the best because everything was so good. Great bread. Great olives. Great cheese. Great everything. The restaurant is beautiful.

Köşebaşı offers a taste of Turkey in a stylish setting. The food quality is generally high, but wont get the real Turkish taste. In all, its a good place to have a casual dinner.

The lamb dishes, breads and salad were very good. The hummus disappointed. Ambience can do better by dimming the lights (it was too bright inside). The menu was purely in Uzbek and Russian, and only 1 staffer could speak in English. For some reason, none of our international credit cards worked; thankfully we had cash on us. Tip: Foreigners should always make sure to have cash ready.

Usually I like kosebasi restaurants because of delicious breakfasts, but this time we went there for dinner. They currently are having reconsructions on the half side of the restaurant and therefore you will sit and enjoy the smell and the air is also not fresh. The prices also are expensive.

Overall, the food was good except that the meat was overcooked. There was a park nearby, so it was nice to be able to take a walk after eating.

Delicious authentic Turkish food and good service.

Really delicious food and good service. We highly recommend this place for vegetarian options

No doubt, if you want good food here in Tashkent, stick with what the locals do best, that is local Uzbek cuisine. Just don’t expect to walk into an Italian restaurant in Tashkent and expect Italian food with quality and taste that you find in Italy. I walked into this restaurant without any expectations but was rather OK with the food. I ordered bolognese spaghetti and side dishes of spinach + garlic, corn kernel, and grilled mixed vegetables. The quality of the food was OK. Everything was well presented. Nothing was under or over cooked. I was there at about 5:30pm so the place wasn’t busy. My food got served under 15mins. Prices are steep if you compare those to prices of local cuisine around the area. Would I dine here again? Yeah. Why not

This place has been around for a while and I finally got to visit for a birthday dinner. Food is pretty average but it's good enough for what you would expect from a western restaurant in Tashkent. Was a little disappointed with the wine selection and had to pay extra service charge for having our own bottle. Definitely disapprove the big screen and random Russian pop music in the background, which totally against the beautiful decor of the restaurant.

we 4 guys went there around 9pm and then ordered 2 local bottle of wines and cheese plate. the thing is there's no customer but for us. the server gave us some intangile pressure to go out around 10pm despite of the closing time is 11:30. she forgot the one of the our order, green tea. and they advertised they accept the visa/master card but they accidentally the machine is not working so we had to go to the ATM at that night. I don't want someone to have that kinda experience

A great dish of lamb which is tender and delicious. We held a meeting here because the place is suitable well and there as a special room with comfortable seat. Every waiter can speak English fluently. Must try once in your life then so will be impressed them👍

Generally quiet on the two occasions I've eaten here. But the food....🤤 amazing. First time had a creamy prawn pasta and went back the next night for a perfectly grilled ribeye. 5/5 from me!

Had a dinner there with a colleague. Place is quiet (looks like the turnover had been hit by the pandemic and hasn't fully recovered yet). The owner is very friendly and speaks good English - recommended the best options in their menu and put his best for forward to make a couple of tasty vegan dishes that weren't on the menu. BYOB is fine for a small corkage fee. Not a Michelin worthy or trendy pace but, overall, one of the best dining experiences in Tashkent.

Too expansive but overall the atmosphere is good.

Excellent restaurant... excellent food... excellent ambience... excellent service... had the best meat... thank you so much for the great memorable dining...

Just an adorable restaurant with a very dedicated Head Chef and super friendly personnel. I woukd recommend everything on the menu. Perfect for a cosy meal.

Delicious Turkish Restaurant in Tashkent. Eggplant salads is a must try dish: crispy on the 1st bite but soft afterwards, with a nice sweet flavour at the beginning and ending with some spicy twist. Trilece fistiki and soguk baklava were also of another World 🤤. Do not miss it if you visit Tashkent!

I've had an amazing experience at your restaurant. We've been here for the first time. We're very happy about choosing this restaurant. Beside the thing that the food very delicious , we had an awesome experience with Ilxomjon Aka. His serving is excellent. We'll come back for sure.

My family took me there another day for dinner. I was very surprized and amazed of the place, food, staff, and extra amenities (playground for the kids). I felt like I was in one of the Sultan's Palace being treated like an honored guest. It's not easy to describe all the experience so please visit this place and see it on your own. You won't regret. Thank you for everything, Bosphorus Qirasaroy.

Tasty Food, Humble Staff and very Good Environment.

Food is average, but I liked the service and the atmosphere inside. Best for family time.

Tashkent International Airport (TAS). Tashkent International Airport, the busiest airport in Uzbekistan, offers a functional but somewhat dated infrastructure. While recent renovations have improved parts of the terminal, certain areas still reflect an older design with limited seating and compact waiting zones. However, efforts have been made to enhance traveler comfort through improved lighting, air conditioning, and expanded check-in counters. VIP and business lounges provide more spacious and quiet environments for those with access. The airport staff are generally courteous and cooperative. English proficiency among personnel is growing, especially at immigration and airline desks, though some language barriers may still exist. Security and customs staff tend to be serious but professional. Assistance for elderly travelers and families is available upon request, and airport guides are usually ready to help with directions or boarding procedures. Flight punctuality at Tashkent Airport has seen gradual improvement, though occasional delays still occur, especially during peak travel times. Coordination between airlines and ground services has become more efficient in recent years, contributing to better time management. Security screening is thorough, with several stages including passport control, customs checks, and baggage inspection. While this process may take time, it reflects the airport’s strong commitment to safety and regulatory compliance.

Tashkent International Airport is neat, clean, and well-organized. It’s a medium-sized airport, so the check-in and immigration process is usually smooth and quick—you won’t face much hassle getting inside. One thing that stood out during security check was that all passengers are required to remove their shoes for scanning, regardless of the type. Usually, only leather shoes are checked more closely at other airports, but here all footwear goes through the scanner—something to keep in mind. Inside, the airport has a good variety of shops, including souvenir stores, food stalls, lounges, and more. The interior is nicely decorated and some areas are inspired by traditional Samarkand-style architecture, which adds a cultural charm to the space. Overall, it’s a pleasant airport experience and a nice gateway to Uzbekistan.

I recently took a flight from here and everything was a bit slow right from check-in to immigration to security. There is a lot of room for improvement. The airport looks new from inside and it looks good. All prices are in USD or EUR.

Tashkent Airport is clean and functional but not exceptional. The facilities are modern enough, and staff are generally polite, though lines at security and passport control can be long. There are a few cafes and shops, but limited seating and spotty Wi-Fi. Getting to the city is easy by taxi, and the airport is close to downtown. Overall, it’s an average airport that works fine but could be more efficient and comfortable

Unfortunately, my recent experience at Tashkent International Airport fell short of expectations. While the airport has potential and a few positive aspects—such as its central location and decent runway operations—the overall passenger experience left much to be desired. The terminal felt outdated and lacked proper signage in multiple languages, which made navigation confusing for international travelers. There was minimal communication from airport staff, and it was difficult to find someone who could assist or provide clear instructions, especially during security and immigration procedures. The waiting areas were overcrowded, with limited seating and not enough amenities for passengers during long layovers or delays. Restrooms could have been cleaner and better stocked, and food options were very limited, with high prices and little variety. I understand that no airport is perfect, but I hope serious improvements are made in terms of infrastructure, organization, and customer service. Tashkent is a gateway to a beautiful country—its airport should reflect that.

Arrivals: The airport is small. We were transported by a bus to the terminal and through the doors were immigration counters. The line wasn’t long and the officers processed visitors in a timely manner. The baggage belt was pretty slow. There is one exchange counter on the left corner and an airport taxi counter (green) in the centre. SIM cards are available at different counters. Exchanging money, getting a sim, booking your taxi can all be done while waiting for your bags. Once out there was a rush of taxi drivers. For booking a Yandex you will need an Ozbek phone number and e-sim without the phone number won’t be accepted. Departures: go to the first level via escalators for check-in. Immigration and airport security follow and are quick. Lots of duty free shops with some selling souvenirs as well. Many places to sit. Transported to the plane by a bus again.

Chaotic and poorly managed check-in experience. Passengers were cutting the line, passing huge amounts of luggage forward, and pushing to get ahead. Staff — including the manager — saw the situation and did nothing to control it. Felt unsafe and stressed. Worst airport experience I’ve had; completely disorganized.

We had dinner here our last night in Uzbekistan and really enjoyed it. The outside courtyard area was very atmospheric. The service was good and the food was very good for the most part. Unfortunately they were out of plov but we had a number of other good dishes. The salad with charcoal cooked eggplant and other veg was particularly good. Lamb skewer a bit gristly but all other dishes were very good. Would definitely recommend.

Hidden gem… this is a must to visit. Atmospheres and ambient, decor were absolutely gorgeous. The food was amazingly sophisticated and tasty. The service provided by Jantas - it was excellent and he made my day. My last supper in Tashkent was unforgettable:)

Amazing restaurant and staff that took care of us and served us food promptly and happily. Very tourist friendly and has English menus and English speaking staff. Highly recommend the lamb dumplings

Visited in September 2025. Uzbekistan 🇺🇿 Tashkent. We stumbled upon Caravan on our guide’s recommendation, and it didn’t disappoint. The multi-story space is grand, with summer terraces and a wooden interior exuding Eastern elegance—apparently a favorite among celebrities, adding a touch of allure. FOOD: The restaurant specializes in Uzbek cuisine, and we came for the plov, available in two varieties: a festive “wedding” version and a leaner, steamed-rice option. Both were delightful, with tender, fluffy rice, sweet carrots, raisins, and meat, each with its own charm. The leaner version won us over with its varied meats and sweet accents like raisins, though both were excellent. The mini samsas were a highlight—flaky, crispy dough packed with a generous, juicy meat filling that didn’t skimp on flavor. The brisket, however, was a miss. Expecting a juicy, fatty, hosper-grilled cut, we got a dry, almost overcooked version reminiscent of basturma, though its smoky flavor added some charm. Complimentary salads and spreads were a nice touch, rounding out the meal. SERVICE: The service was friendly and welcoming, with dishes arriving fairly quickly. While not the most polished or efficient, the staff’s warmth made the experience pleasant enough. VERDICT: Caravan is a solid choice for traditional Uzbek cuisine, steeped in history and popular among tourists looking to experience local flavors. With its spacious, beautifully designed setting and tasty food, we left satisfied. It’s a great spot to showcase Uzbekistan’s culinary heritage, and we recommend it for a flavorful, atmospheric dining experience.

Average food probably not better than what you can find in a supermarket. Lamb was awful: just skin, fat, ribs and a little layer of meat. The meat itself was dry and bad tasting. I have to confirm the other negative reviews: over-expensive and poor quality. Decadent environment... Btw, I got a dirty dish, as well the table cloth was stained.

The highlight is really the atmosphere here: the restaurant is beautiful . A great immersive experience for tourists. Food is ok and thats what they really need to work on The service is very good but just becoz of food its loosing points . The taste is ok

The highlight is really the atmosphere here: the restaurant is beautiful and the live music is amazing. A great immersive experience for tourists. The food was ok, hit and miss dishes: -dolma 6/10 -samsa meat 5/10 (chewy lamb) -samsa potato 7/10 -Georgian Kinkalis 10/10 (amazing taste) -borscht 8/10 Caravan seems to be a chain as we had their food in the mountains also and seemingly they have a restaurant in Khiva also. Staff spoke English and were very professional. However, this was also our most expensive meal in a week across Uzbekistan, paid 470,000 UZS (27 GBP) for two. I recommend you sit in the garden outside rather than upstairs which has less atmosphere. Takes credit cards.

The State Museum of Applied Art and Handicrafts History of Uzbekistan. The State Museum of Applied Art and Handicrafts History of Uzbekistan provides an excellent introduction to Uzbek history and culture. Ιt displays more than 7,000 examples of traditional folk art. These include a range of mediums from decorative glass to porcelain and fabrics, all dating from the first half of the 19th century to the present. The museum houses in a palace, with traditional architecture features, a layout and elements common to mosques and to late-19th century aristocratic households. The central hall is a traditional mehmonkhona, a word that roughly translates as “guest room”. Designed like a mosque, it is square-shaped with four columns and a mihrab. However, the palace’s mihrab only plays a decorative role here. The room truly awes its visitors and is a museum piece in and of itself. The two contemplative inscriptions above the doors are written in Persian but with Arabic writing: “The world is like a caravanserai with two doors, they enter through one, and they leave through the other,” reads one; “And every day there are more and more new guests in this caravanserai,” says the other. The museum provides an audio tour.

A small but very charming museum that really brings Uzbek folk art to life. The QR/audio guide is clear and easy to follow, and if you take your time it gives you much more than just a quick overview - you actually get to enjoy the stories behind the art. What makes it special isn’t only the exhibits, but also the setting: it’s inside the historic Polovtsev House, once the palace of a Russian diplomat. The building itself, with its woodcarving, mosaics, and decorative details, feels like a masterpiece alongside the collection.

There is a really useful guide to access using a qr code. The exposition is amazing, and well documented and explained thanks to this guide. It can take long if you take time to hear and check all details in the guide, but I found it completely worthy

Nice, quiet museum with a good selection of different craft forms. Most items are pretty modern. It nice to get an idea of different crafts from around the country in one place.

Amazing museum of Uzbek crafts in a gorgeous old home Must visit for all who love attention to detail

I have a lot of respect for Amir Temur but the museum has only replicas where the real items have been plundered by others and kept in Berlin, the USA and others. Sad. Should try to bring the items back. The entry fee is not high though.

An amazing place to view crafts and art. The building itself is gorgeous with beautiful tile work.

The restaurant has a lovely local atmosphere and serves beautifully presented, high-end dishes. However, the portions are very small for the high prices, and there’s an automatic 15% service charge — yet no complimentary bread or even water is provided. It feels overpriced for what you get. On the plus side, they have a selection of local wines and beers. I wouldn’t return, but if you’ve got money to spare and are after a fancy dining experience, it might be worth a try.

I paid 240,000 UZS for two dishes and Tashkent tea. I tried to use some local cash I wasn’t used to, pay 200,000 UZS×2 and that was a mistake. Got 60,000 UZS back as change. I left the restaurant and confused. 🙅🙅🙅 If you’re not familiar with the money here, better to pay by card!💳️👍️ The food was tasty!

This is a high-end restaurant at the back of the row of shops on Taras Shevchenko street. Tax + 15%. Kiyma Shashlik 52,000soʻm Chicken Shashlik 50,000soʻm Beer(0.3l) 27,000soʻm The chicken one took about 20 minutes to cook. I prefer kiyma one, and quickly served. The staff helped me remove the shashlik from the skewer onto my plate. The staff seemed to be trained on how to treat customers and how to greet them. The terrace seats were pleasant with the sunshine and the breeze.

First Uzbek restaurant I tried, and I loved the huge menu. The chicken skewer was excellent. The plov and mashhurda were good, though for me (half Mexican) they lacked a bit of flavor. Still, I’ll definitely be back to try more.

Well established restaurant. Long menu of typical Uzbek food. We were served by younger lady who was not realy good in any language (only Uzbek and Russian), but we got well across the ordering process and entire meal. We started with different sallads and thzn followed by superb plovs (also vegeterian), selection of beef and chicken shashliks, different type of manti and on the end delicios deserts. We ordered also Uzbek Merlot. Great restaurant , highly recomended.

Absolutely wonderful traditional Uzbek restaurant in the city center. Familiar dishes with a new taste. Many vegetarian options, you should try their fruit pilaf. Super friendly personnel. Thank you, Mr. Akbarali Panjiev for excellent service. Afsona is certainly worth visiting and bringing guests

Delicious traditional Uzbek food and dishes with creative and tasty contemporary twists such as a Fruit Plov, which my friends said was very good. I had vegetable Hanum- it was delicious and had a nice tomato/garlic sauce with it. Very nice setting with indoor and outdoor dining. Prices are very reasonable. Come here when you are in Tashkent!! Ali was very friendly and his English is excellent.

My visit to Amir Temur Square was one of the true highlights of my time in Tashkent. As the beating heart of the city, it beautifully combines history with modern life. The centerpiece; the majestic equestrian statue of Amir Temur;is both striking and symbolic, a proud reminder of Uzbekistan’s rich heritage. I had the chance to experience the square both during the day, when it was calm and peaceful, and at night, when it came alive with light and energy. The surrounding architecture; the grand Palace of International Forums and the iconic Hotel Uzbekistan; framed the space beautifully, adding to its charm. Whether it was enjoying the greenery, pausing by the fountains, or simply soaking in the lively atmosphere alongside locals and visitors, every moment felt special. Amir Temur Square is a must-see in Tashkent for everyone visiting the country;an experience that feels different yet equally memorable, day or night.

A lovely well kept park with impressive flowers and trees throughout. There’s a good amount of seating and some quiet secluded sections too. In the Centre is the great monument, perfect for photos with the buildings in the background. If walking round the outside of the park there are only two sections where you can enter, but there are more pedestrian paths under the main road. A great spot in the city worth taking a stroll through.

Amir Temur Square – The Historic Heart of Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Amir Temur Square is one of the most iconic and central public spaces in Tashkent, dedicated to the great 14th-century conqueror and national hero, Amir Temur (also known as Tamerlane). At the center of the square stands an impressive bronze equestrian statue of Amir Temur, clad in armor and raising his right hand in a commanding gesture. The monument was erected in 1993 and replaced the former statue of Karl Marx, reflecting Uzbekistan's shift from Soviet legacy to national roots. The inscription on the pedestal reads “Strength is in Justice” — a quote attributed to Temur himself. Surrounding the square are significant architectural landmarks such as the grand Hotel Uzbekistan, the Amir Temur Museum with its blue-domed roof, and several government and academic buildings. These structures reflect a blend of Soviet monumentalism and modern Uzbek architecture, creating a striking urban landscape. The square is not only a historical site but also a lively gathering place for locals and tourists alike. Its well-maintained gardens, shady walkways, and central location make it a popular destination for photos, leisure, and city strolls. For visitors, Amir Temur Square offers a vibrant piece of its present-day capital.

Great to see the statue of the great leader. Its soo beautiful 🤩 The statue situated in this park is a lovely well maintained area and has great views of the iconic Hotel Uzbekistan.🇺🇿 metro 🚇 also close to it..by underground pass you can reach hotel uzbekistan..yandex app is very useful to visit anywhere its very cheap & convenient..

Chilled place in the evening to relax after a warm day in Tashkent. Nice views of Hotel Uzbekistan beyond the statue.

Amir Temur Square is located in a park near our hotel, Hotel Uzbekistan. It is just a statue of Amir Temur located inside the park. The park was big, clean, and full of greenery. You can reach this park by metro, and the State Museum of the Temurids is located near this park.

Amazing square surrounded by a beautiful park. I enjoyed walking here day & night!

stopped in here en-route back to hotel for a mid-afternoon snack. The local lager - Bamberg was delicious. The aubergine tempura was the right mixture of crispy on outside and silky in middle. The garlic bread was sensational - best garlic bread ive ever tried. The lentil soup was tremend. 10/10 would try again

Excellent local beer on tap. Friendly staff. Bar seats, inside tables and outside tables available. Garlic bread was very good as was the smoked cheese. Allows smoking inside which is a bit of a bother for non smokers like me. But great place.

One of the most genuine PUB in Tashkent , nice ambient and Guiness was original . The best part is staff and manager are professional and take care about customer choices . Music was good , a bit loud but OK. Recommended when you are in tashkent

The worst Irish pub I’ve ever stepped foot in!!!! Nothing Irish about the place?! Full of British football team flags and memorabilia. Maybe they need a history lesson.

Not really an Irish bar per se but a grand spot for a beer if in the area. Didn't try the food other than a small snack which was nice enough. Outside area looked nice enough. Fast service.

Nice place to hide from the heat, but they allow people to smoke inside, so that forced us to sit outside. Not much of a beer selection either. 15% service charge even if you order a pint at the bar. I could accept everything else, but smoking indoors in 2025 is unacceptable, so strange. Probably the only establishment in Tashkent that allows it.

Had a quick lunch here. Fantastic place. Nice food. The Bamberg Draft beer is awesome here. Also, the staff are very courteous. Waiting to come back soon.

I ordered four different dishes, and each was excellent. I also enjoyed the Georgian wine. The price was acceptable as well.

5/22/2022 - Nice ambience, nice staff, great food, their house red wine was hearty and felt solid. Over all a different taste than the other Uzbek food, I would whole heartedly recommend, I am not sure if the food was over priced, it felt regular and top quality. Check the pictures, language is a barrier for me but all the dishes that I have shown were authentic and fantastic.

Everything was good. Waiter service was perfect . It could have 5 stars, if the price was acceptable for an average citizen of Uzbekistan. But if you don't have any problems with money, you can visit this location with your friends, family and so on. I have been visiting this place for a long time, even birthdays of my family members we try to visit this restaurant.

Food was OK.. Service slow but this the normal thing in this part of the world.. No life band but some old casets.. Ususaly Georgian resturnets famous wth dance show but not in this rest

Staff speaks english well Food is fresh served on time Amazing experience

Food is good but a bit overpriced (c. 100k for a main dish and side), the wine is ok but really overpriced. They accept credit cards but don't have WiFi.

Beautiful and cosy place with live music and excellent Georgian food and drinks

I had an amazing experience at Art Hostel — it's so much more than just a place to sleep. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere felt creative, cozy, and welcoming. The staff were super friendly and made me feel right at home. I loved how every corner of the space was thoughtfully designed with artistic touches, murals, and quirky details that gave the hostel its own unique character. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and surprisingly quiet at night. The communal areas were perfect for meeting other travelers, with a relaxed vibe and good music always playing in the background. If you're someone who enjoys creativity, good conversations, and affordable travel with a bit of soul, Art Hostel is the perfect choice. Would definitely stay here again!

I really enjoyed my time at art hostel! The beds are good, clean common bathroom (with a lot of funny posters) and a nice common area/kitchen. There is a pool and small gym outside which is a nice bonus. People running the hostel are very friendly (except for one lady who is a bit harsh). The location is also very good as its quiet, but also close to the metro and a bussin area with many shops and restaurants. This is definitely a hostel to consider when visiting Tashkent!

Probably the best hostel in Tashkent. The buffet breakfast is amazing. A good selection of freshly made and healthy options. The room has AC and there is a pool and good sized common area. Everything was cleaned consistently and their is on-site secure parking. Staff are great too. Would recommend 110%

AVOID IT IF POSSIBLE. I didn’t have a good experience at this hostel. They didn’t accept payment by card even though there was the information in Booking.com they did. When I asked if they took euros for laundry, she said they did, when I gave her the 2€ in coins, she said she wouldn't accept it. Shower rooms were dirty and there was no separation men from women, and the shower I used once the hot water pressure was terrible, it took a while until it got actual pressure. Also, the room had no blinds so if you are sensitive to light, i'd recommend to use eye mask. There was barely no space to open our bags and no proper lockers either. And my sheets were dirty as well. We had the most uncomfortable situation where there was a man in his UNDERWEAR in the room, I stayed in the mix dorm. I did not feel comfortable raising the issues with the staff, given the previous issues at check in and payment. The only positive thing about this hostel was the breakfast, which was buffet and had great variation.

The hostel is well located, but the rating isn't deserved. It has a pool, but it's dirty, so no one could swim in it. The cleaner didn't clean it. The receptionist wasn't very friendly, but she was still having a bad day. The breakfast was fine. The room I had was also fine. Basically, the only negatives were the cleanliness and the receptionist's bad temper.

+: Breakfast was great. Best one during my trip in Uzbekistan. Rooms were okay for the price. -: We are 2 persons who booked the quadruple room (for 4 persons). Only 2 electrical sockets were working. Did you deliberately turn the rest off? Location quite far from the metro station. 10-15 walk.

We were looking forward for our stay here due to the great reviews and reccomendations, but got notified the day before our arrival that we would be moved to another hotel from the same group due to overbooking. We ended up cancelling and booking elsewhere as having the swimming pool by our side was a must during peak summer. I believe that the hostel is high quality but it was a bit of a bummer, specially due to the very short notice. The low rate speaks for the disappointment with this process, and not for the quality of the hostel.

This is a very high-end restaurant. Plov 170,000soʻm Beer(0.5l) 100,000soʻm (including all tax and service) You get to eat in a high-end setting that's hard to access on a regular basis, there's a wide selection of alcoholic drinks, and the staff are very efficient. I feel that these services and the atmosphere of the place are what increase its value. The portions are large quantity.

It was the first day in Uzbekistan when we discovered this place while walking around. The food was really good and after eating in different cities, I can say that the best plov to my taste was here. Our waiter Nurillo and Muslim were both very good in terms of recommendations and serving.

Food was decent not outstanding, but solid. Delicious eggplant salad and cauliflower. Nohat Shurak and Sea Bass were fine but a bit lackluster and flat. Price on higher end for Uzbek standards

Nice service and delicious food! I really enjoyed the ambience. I ordered the fried lagman and pumpkin somsa, and before the food arrived, they served complimentary bread. Everything tasted great. I’ll definitely come back again. Highly recommended!

Great quality, authentic atmosphere and amazing service. The host was polite and found a place. I got a compliment from the institution. In general I was impressed by the place. Highly recommended. P.s. Sherzod personally the Best.

Amazing service by waiter Muslim! The food was incredible. So was the vibe. And I can’t believe how affordable.

Really enjoyed this place. The atmosphere was nice and the music gave it a good vibe. The meze were tasty and the chicken shish was cooked well. Our waiter Axror was polite and attentive, which made the experience even better. Overall, a comfortable spot with good food. I’d come again.
