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.
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 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
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.
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.
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.
It's like a whole attraction! A huge number of tents, nearby and all kinds of goods. Good prices, but you need to bargain! In some places they are very annoying, there is no way without it in the market, but sometimes they go too far. But you can definitely find everything you need here.
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...
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.
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.
Clothing and grocery market. Variety, walking, watching, trying everything is possible. It's a very colorful atmosphere. There is also national food and sweets.
It's a very atmospheric place. You can buy everything! From souvenirs and gifts to bread and meat! The prices are very good. We need to bargain. Sometimes it is possible to reduce the price by one and a half times. I recommend you to visit!
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
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.
