This café/restaurant is one of the best places to come to for a great lunch or just to relax. The establishment is located relatively close to the city center and is surrounded by flower shops, other cafes and other shops.
The staff there are incredibly kind and patient, the thing that I admire about this establishment is that it is a labor of love, the owner is almost always there and is ready to help out at a moments notice should you require it, the management is top notch.
The reason I mentioned relaxation is that during the evenings they have a hookah master that prepares a great hookah and the food is made with great care. The tables and chairs are all soft and as its name implies, there are plenty of pillows of all kinds and shapes available for your comfort. It is also very important to mention that the establishment offers free wi-fi and there is a children's play area where they can have fun whilst you eat or converse.
My personal favorite is the Potato and Chicken cooked in a home-style. The potatoes are soft enough to crush with your utensil, but not dry. The chicken is juicy and seasoned properly.
The only part to improve in my opinion is that the knife offered is sharp and pointy, to the point that it could be a safety hazard, and that at certain points during the day the waiters/waitresses may take some time to service you, but that is expected of any establishment.
Over all Podushechnaya is a great establishment build upon the foundations of passion from the owner and it shows.
Wonderful atmosphere inside and outside the cafe. All the staff are amazingly friendly and helpful. One of the best cozy and relaxing places in busy Tashkent city.
