Very crowded, dense and maze like Bazaar open everyday. Such a mess. If you like mystical crowded bazaar this is the spot.
However watch your stuff because there could be some interesting people around.
Most of the stuff, clothes etc are low quality cheap things.
However in the food court you can find alot of spices. But I believe buying meet from open air wouldn't be so hygienic.
If you are interested come and see but I believe I have seen better markets.
Kind of a good place to buy stuff at a cheap price.but the quality of items is too bad . Just buy groceries,veggies and fruits . Don't go for clothes , electronics etc
There was a lot of traffic junction and it was hard to find any free parking space.

The old bazaar Eski Juva (‘old tower’), better known as Chorsu (‘four courses’; also spelled Chor-Su), is located in Tashkent Old City at a crossroads of four roads
The bazaar is the largest in Tashkent, it is considered central for a reason, there are a lot of different types of food and non-food products. Prices are certainly cheaper than in Tashkent stores, but compared to Russian ones they are very controversial and overpriced. Shopping malls are located on several levels, repeating the uneven terrain, the number of streets is very diverse, you can get lost if you do not use navigation or do not know what is located where. On these streets, in povillons, under canopies and just in open areas, sellers with their goods are located, they are mainly grouped by zones according to the type of goods sold, but there are also stray ones with other goods)) There are several times more traders than buyers, you can walk, choose and bargain, although they do not bargain very actively, who does not bargain at all, and who trades with an unsatisfactory face, you can barely bargain for something, and the question immediately arises, what kind of oriental bazaar is this?))) There is a whole zone with ready-made dishes, called Gluttonous rows, here everything squirts, smokes and smells of national dishes, the food is delicious, the prices are a little cheaper than in a cafe, but the neatness and cleanliness are very lame, like the entourage in all the bazaars of Tashkent, who is not confused, welcome, you can have a snack, like no one on my stomach didn't complain, because a lot of the local population comes here to eat))) (And in general, anyone who calls the bazaar a market in Central Asia, as in the title of the Yandex place, is considered an intourist here!!!))))
You can go for fun. A large market under the roof. There is meat on the ground floor, spices and dried fruits on the second floor. We bought raisins, spices, and nuts. There are gluttonous rows, it's authentic there. We only took samsa because we weren't hungry. But there are all kinds of kebabs, pilaf, some kind of sprouts and a bunch of things that we didn't understand :) but the locals eat there, so everything is delicious! There are rows of textiles nearby, full of Uzbek textiles, bathrobes, fabrics, linen. I didn't price it, I didn't need it, but the range is large.
Chorsu Bazaar is the heart of Tashkent and a real pearl of oriental culture. Here you can feel the unique flavor, see bright stalls with fruits, spices, dried fruits and traditional handicrafts.
The atmosphere of the bazaar is warm and lively, the merchants are friendly and often ready to give their goods a try. The architecture of the central dome impresses with its scale and beauty.
The prices are affordable, especially if you know how to bargain, and the choice of products pleases with its variety. Sometimes it can be crowded, but this only adds authenticity to the place. Chorsu is not just a bazaar, it is a place where the history and traditions of the East come to life.
This Nachorsu store is very interesting, there are always a lot of tourists.
When I visit this store, I am always surprised by the craftsmen who produce.such beauty; painted dishes, caskets, vases
, national clothes, the beauty is indescribable.
And after all, everyone finds something to their liking, or a gift to a loved one.But it's nice..... and after a while, a pleasant memory remains, and you even remember where and which vase was in this store.Interesting, yes....., and you always want to come back.
We came to the market purposefully for dried fruits and nuts. As in any oriental bazaar, you need to be able to bargain here. There are a lot of sellers, and, indeed, not everyone wants to bring down the price. But the main thing is not to despair and insist on your own: if one refuses, the other will be happy to bargain with you!
We collected a lot of things: macadamia, pumpkin seeds, dried apricots, dried melon, halva for gifts and a bunch more goodies. As a result, out of the requested 1,000,000 soums, we paid about 580,000 — almost half as much! So we were very satisfied with the market.
And in the "Gluttonous rows" we came across the most delicious samsa for the whole trip — we highly recommend it!
A great place for a sense of contrast after the megacities of the European device
Honest and very colorful
It's worth coming at least for the mood and architecture of the main building. Everything lives inside!
The gluttonous rows left a double impression
Meat lovers will love it
But taking fish... think about it a few times, it's cooked very specifically and fattily here (+ it's not the most dietary in itself)
But the impressions are unforgettable! Recommend
It's a very authentic place. There is almost everything you can look for on the market. Fruits, vegetables, hot tortillas, freshly cooked pilaf, nuts, meat, spices are in the grocery section, clothes from jackets to underpants are in the storage area. They even offer to exchange the currency)
It's easy to get there - by taking the metro to the station of the same name. Getting lost in the market is also very easy.
We visited a popular market, the market is like a hive, nuts, fruits, national sweets are abundant, etc., you can try everything, everyone calls, offers goods, bought yellow figs, I really liked it, if you have the opportunity, try it, honey is very tasty cotton and prickly, we were also interested in trying food at this famous market They cook and serve national dishes, I did not like it at all, it was not very tasty, maybe we were unlucky, but there was no delight from the dishes.
Good afternoon. If you want to get the most unforgettable impressions of Central Asia, come here, here you will find everything at the lowest price in Tashkent. You can eat very tasty here, of course, do not expect perfect cleanliness and order, this is a bazaar. Friendly sellers, do not forget to bargain. This is the point of visiting the bazaar. To make a bazaar, that's what the locals say.
The best bazaar , where everything is available . And everything here is the best! The prices are very pleased, I like to bargain , it turns me on! The sellers are all friendly , do not impose and do not bother . A colorful bazaar . I got into my childhood . Gluttonous Rows is a special place! It's beautiful there as always, mentally, like at home!
A real oriental bazaar, for souvenirs, gifts, fruits and vegetables, it's all there. My husband was in Tashkent for the first time, he was completely delighted with the color of the market and the goodwill of the sellers. But do not forget about vigilance, the east is a delicate matter. Gluttonous rows can also be visited if the digestive tract is in order. You have to bargain if they don't give in, it's not your product.
Chorsu is the heart of Tashkent and a feast of tastes!
Chorsu Bazaar is not just a market, but a real journey into the world of oriental culture. You can feel the flavor of Uzbekistan here: bright stalls, the aroma of fresh spices, an abundance of fruits, nuts and traditional pastries. The selection of meat and dairy products is especially impressive – everything is fresh and of high quality.
The sellers are friendly, always ready to offer to try the product and tell its story. The atmosphere is lively, but cozy at the same time. If you want to experience the real Tashkent and buy the best local products, Chorsu is a must!
It is a very interesting and distinctive market. Nicely. A huge selection. Be sure to bargain!
P.S. it's better not to eat there. You've bought what you need and go eat in a safe place. Not a personal experience. Persistent advice from knowledgeable people :)
A great market. Where you can plunge into the Uzbek flavor.
There are a lot of greens and fruits. Samsa is cooked very tasty in a tandoor! You can eat pilaf in the same place
In general, you definitely need to go there
An oriental bazaar with all its advantages and disadvantages.. It's noisy and colorful.. You can buy anything that comes to mind. The rows with national food are a separate delicious story. The most delicate shish kebab, delicious pilaf, khasip, naryn, khanum, which is followed by a queue. Very tasty, fast, cooked in front of your eyes.
A huge, colorful market, with colorful rows of fruits and vegetables, tortillas, meat and eggs... and everything you can!
Scents, bustle... a real oriental bazaar!
We bought spices, chatted with the seller of robes and souvenirs (we bought a national robe and a couple of wonderful dishes for pilaf).
Everyone is friendly and smiling.
The most common market. You can walk around to feel the atmosphere of Uzbekistan. But nothing special. By the way, prices are cheaper than near architectural monuments. You can even buy a melon out of season, it is cut and sold in a package. There are products, souvenirs, and seedlings with seeds. There are beggars too. There is a whole department with tortillas, there is a cafe with samsa and pilaf. Many sellers speak Russian, those who are older. There are shops that sell gold.
It is a very interesting market where you can "feel the difference", all the local features, lifestyle, food preferences and national cuisine. Interesting products, furniture, a lot of amazing national gizmos), everything was not bypassed, the bazaar is big! In the clothing line, everything repeats itself, things from the cheap segment.
