Of course, this is not the cheapest market in Tashkent. In other markets, you can buy fruits and other goods at a cheaper price. But on the other hand, it is convenient, located in the center, it is pleasant to walk. Tourists like it )
One of the central and rich markets. But it is also one of the most expensive (due to taxes and other charges). In general, everything upsets me, I work nearby often there and buy in a Basket that is located in the territory of the bazaar.
The bazaar is like a bazaar. Only for the rich, because the prices of all products are higher than in other bazaars. But also high-quality ones, of course. Every day I walk after work, I go home through this bazaar. If something is urgent, I can afford to buy it. And so, if you completely clog up the refrigerator, I do not buy in Alai
Everything is there, selected products, but the prices are unrealistic, you can find cheaper in other markets not in the city center, a big plus is parking, there are good Turkish cafes nearby.
Well, what kind of feedback can you leave about the Alai market, the bazaar is designed for visitors from other countries...prices bite... Fruits are expensive, there are several shops where you can buy knives or something in the national style as a gift, outside the bazaar there are several cafes where they sell delicious samsa and pilaf :)
A clean, spacious market, boutiques in the first building, then a large room with fruits and dried fruits, spices. The prices are not bad, not the lowest. You need to bargain, but they will slow down just a little bit.
It's a good market, I really liked it. A lot of useful things, relatively clean, not rude.Be sure to bargain, smile, joke and a good discount is provided!rating 5, I recommend visiting.
The market is not big! There is a wide variety of products, but few souvenirs, a small selection of robes and skullcaps))). But I definitely advise everyone to eat pilaf and samsa at the market! It's insanely tasty and inexpensive!))
Rare fruits and berries can only be bought here. Everything is expensive, the prices are a guide for tourists. The meat grinder is a separate pavilion. Everything there is cool and imported Advantages: few people, the most normal bazaar in terms of cleanliness and order
The choice of products is small, everything is very expensive. Designed, as I understand it, for tourists. You can go in to see if you pass by, but you definitely can't buy fruits and vegetables here.

My favorite Alai! Everything is there, in accessibility and in excellent quality, especially when you already know what to buy and from whom👍🏻
A large selection of products and more
The bazaar is intended for tourists, as the prices on the rows themselves are quite high.
There is a Basket nearby, but they do not sell fruits and vegetables there.
But there are shops with reasonable prices for various kinds of products
I was there in 1967,8,9 it was very cool, although after the earthquake, but very pleasant memories, especially when you are 18,19 and 2 years of the army in Uzbekistan (Karshi, Chirchik)
Of course, there is anything on the market, and only a wide selection can attract there. But the prices are so overpriced that there is no desire to go there. But there are different exotic delicacies there for that.
Alai Bazaar is the Alai Bazaar. It was, is and will be the business card of Tashkent. How not to rebuild it, do not change it, do not increase or decrease it. Those who have been going there for a long time, of course, know from whom and what to buy. In principle, to buy something of poor quality is to try) but it also happens that it will be expensive to buy - this is already a more frequent phenomenon, but that's what the bazaar is for, you need to bargain here.
For my part, for those who want to buy excellent dried fruits, sweets, spices and the very Samarkand (mountain) tea, I recommend going to the seller at the place #181 - 182. I have been buying from him for more than 20 years, always the optimal ratio of product quality and price.
The choice is small, but it is there. Prices are traditionally high by Tashkent standards. After all, this is a bazaar for tourists. A basket nearby saves many people.
It's not the same Alai as before. Inadequate prices and solid concrete around - it's very hot. There used to be a variety of products and excellent prices, greenery, shade, fountains - but nothing remains of the old Alai.
There used to be a magnificent bazaar. Now you can't even call it a bazaar. Exhibition hall for tourists. All products are in the basket. Parking is a terrible problem.
All products are of excellent quality. I think it is the most expensive bazaar in Tashkent, but also the highest quality. The range of products is the widest.
For connoisseurs, it is expensive and rich in prices. And the quality of the goods is not so much different from other markets, if only the greens. But it still comes across yellow
