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.
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.
It's like a bazaar!)) Only good memories... The domes are lined with mosaics, the scale is huge, the beauty is magnificent, a sight to behold. People are kind, hospitable, and speak Russian. On the "gluttonous row" they feed deliciously) every little thing, like hairpins, rubber bands....a lot and not expensive at all. It's a pity only one building burned down from the inside and as I understand it, they haven't been restoring for a long time.
A picturesque place in the center of Tashkent, a real oriental bazaar, where you can not only buy high-quality souvenirs, fresh seasonal fruits, nuts and dried fruits, but also eat in an authentic atmosphere of noise, smoke and smells. Pilaf, shish kebab and fish are cooked right there.
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.
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 picturesque place! When traveling to Tashkent, it is mandatory to visit at least once. There are two floors under the dome. On the ground floor there are meat, dairy products, pickles. On the second floor there are dried fruits, nuts, sweets. There are also rows on the street, there are eggs, bread, fruits, vegetables. This is a very huge area, it is not difficult to get lost. There is a row where food is prepared. The feelings are ambiguous, I had to make an effort to eat there, but I still tried, it didn't go in. I prefer checked places, in compliance with sanitary standards.
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
A noisy, talkative oriental bazaar, there are inexpensive prices, there are places with good discounts, there is no understanding what they are asking for. Gluttonous rows offer delicious, not the cheapest, food
After Samarkand and Bukhara, they bought clay souvenirs here, it was cheaper, and cashmere was cheaper.
If there are fans of local color, then they are here. The choice of all products is huge, the prices are as you like. Here you can stock up on food for a week, and if you are tired of walking and hungry, then eat national cuisine with fervor, get dressed, buy furniture made by craftsmen here, etc., etc.
The best assortment of all kinds of dried fruits (raisins, dried apricots, nuts, halva). The sellers are all very polite, they will help with the choice. The complex also has departments with dairy and meat products.
The legendary Tashkent market. It's just huge under an impressive dome. There are all possible products here. On the ground floor there is meat, milk, fruits, vegetables, etc. On the second floor, mainly sweets, nuts, dried fruits, tea...
We tourists really like this market, we bought souvenirs, oriental sweets, reasonable prices, a large market, you can see things right away, we will come more than once, this is already a tradition Tashkent and Chorsu market are one
The main market of Tashkent, which is about 1000 years old. Vegetables, fruits, meat and spices. There is also a clothing market and a lot of authentic hot food. And yes, there is also a whole department of fresh bread. They cook in front of you in tandoori.
Colorful. Delicious and inexpensive pilaf can be found at the bottom of the bakery. There are basically no price tags, as everywhere else. Inexpensive bathrobes can be found in the clothing aisles. And the prices of the products are too high.
Prices for foreigners are higher, they are slightly inferior. There are gluttonous rows where they cook over an open fire and eat under awnings. It's not clean and the pitch is shortchanged, if you're not ready to bargain, I don't recommend it
A good market, spices, fruits, teas, baklava, souvenirs (knives, daggers, magnets, clothes), a great place for tourists to buy. Be sure to bargain, it is customary for them, money can be changed at the entrances even with their hands, a good exchange rate for both dollars and rubles.
Lifehack Bought a large plastic container with handles for 500 rubles there at the market and brought a bunch of everything in it in hand luggage.
Eski Juva is the largest and richest market in Tashkent. And the most unkempt, with an inconvenient layout, with inconvenient parking lots. Apparently, the architect of the bazaar studied under a super contract. It probably could have been worse, since after the reconstruction there was no other architect who could put this chaos of trade pavilions in order. And make this bazaar a place of pilgrimage for tourists... And for some reason I remembered the Cinema House, it turned out exactly the opposite.
The bazaar is huge, the first part of the bazaar is a clothing bazaar, the second part of the bazaar is a part where they sell crisp fresh meat, and the third part of the bazaar is where they sell food, there is a powerful somsa, and the fourth part of the bazaar where they sell plants, trees, and so on.
For tourists, only the zhorny rows are interesting)- colorful, delicious.It's really worth it. The rest is the market and the market..there are more Chinese goods than local ones. Prices are charged not 3- 10 times at once! I don't want to bargain anymore..
The market is huge. There are a lot of people.You can find places with cheap things. There are many souvenir shops. We bought gifts for friends and relatives there. All in one place.
There is everything except order)))
The prices are very good.
I go there for more than an hour to buy national souvenirs - there is just a huge selection for every taste and purse.
The market is huge, the metro is nearby. The market is almost in the center of the city. At about one o'clock in the afternoon, you can buy pilaf at the market. The pilaf is amazing! Just to try it, it's worth visiting this market.
The market is large , the range is huge and of high quality with good prices .
I didn 't like it only when we went up to the second floor for dried fruits . Very intrusive sellers .
The ancient bazaar of ancient Tashkent, there is everything, you can enjoy the sweets of the Uzbeks, there are roasting rows, a lot of national clothes and goods
I don't like markets. As a tourist destination, I recommend you to visit. On the ground floor there are products (meat, milk, vegetables, cereals), on the second floor there are dried fruits, tea and sets of all this for tourists. There is a clothing market around. Sellers are lying ) Behind the words "everything is fresh" in the eyes, they will sell stale goods (I bought dried persimmons - 15% with mold inside). It is necessary to check everything, try, bargain, and this is troublesome and time-consuming. Sets of nuts and dried fruits on a round substrate look attractive as an edible souvenir, but under the film the nuts become sluggish, and in general everything under it goes out quickly. I do not recommend it. But it is profitable to change the currency here (in a harmless amount)))
A beautiful and large bazaar! If you want to eat in an interesting place, you can safely eat there, it is very tasty and the staff will help you with the choice
