Besh Qozon restaurant in Tashkent is a popular place where there are always a lot of people, and one of those places that is recommended to tourists. Special attention should be paid to pilaf, which is cooked here in a huge cauldron. It is so fragrant and rich that it literally melts in your mouth, leaving a pleasant aftertaste. Meat, rice, carrots and spices are perfectly balanced, creating a unique symphony of flavors.
Tashkent tea is always fresh and fragrant here.
Compote made from fresh fruits refreshes and quenches thirst, becoming an excellent end to lunch. It is not too sweet, but it is very rich, perfectly complementing the main dishes.
And, of course, it is impossible not to mention the tortillas, which are served hot, directly from the oven. They are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a light sesame seed flavor, making them the perfect addition to any dish.
It is colorful and interesting to walk around the "kitchen". Of course, the size of the cauldrons is surprising, the number of portions, how they bake tortillas, climbing right into the oven, in general, the whole flavor of the East in one place.
The prices are very pleasant, tea for 2,000, achichuk 7,000, a portion of pilaf (set) 40,000.
For just two people, we gave 66,000 soums for two salads, half a flatbread, tea and one portion of pilaf.
However, the disadvantages are also significant:
- we took a wedding pilaf, mutton was clearly felt in the taste. Despite the fact that everything else was in balance and quite tasty, the taste of mutton left us a little disappointed. Perhaps if we come to Tashkent again, we will come here again, in general it turned out well, we just counted on a different taste.
- long wait for the waiter. Not quite figuring out where the end of the queue is and how to buy pilaf on their own, we decided to sit in the hall. But the waiter did not approach us for 20 minutes, despite the fact that we made ourselves felt, approached them independently, addressed the staff.
The boy came up after a while, quickly accepted the order, quickly brought everything, but since we were very hungry, the waiting at the beginning was very stressful.
An amazing colorful place! You only need to eat pilaf here. Very affordable prices. You can immerse yourself in the atmosphere and watch how pilaf is really cooked in a huge cauldron. There are several types. If you are not used to fatty foods, then immediately ask for a non-greasy one.
And just incredibly delicious tortillas, which are cooked right there
