Chorsu Street Food Market Tashkent

Gluttonous Row

Umida from Tashkent

""Chorsu Street Food Market" (aka Gluttonous Row) in Tashkent is not the most hygienic place, but you will be rewarded by the authentic Uzbek experience!"

Gluttonous Row is a local name for the street food market located next to the well-known Chorsu bazaar. The spot is for venturesome street food lovers who are willing to give up sanitary norms for an authentic oriental feast.

Having approached closer, one can smell the smoke from dishes spread over the place. The view is bizarre: two rows piled with lots of Uzbek dishes are waiting for guests. First, just go around and get familiar with the unique atmosphere.

When the meal choice is unknown and extensive, it is tough to make a choice. Pushy waiters quickly place you on an empty seat and ask you to order food promptly. Do not ask for a menu, the same waiter will say it out loud.

When I start missing local flavor, I go the street food market. It is all around the area. I should note that 80% of consumers are locals. After tiresome shopping and getting hungry, local shoppers are ready to eat some beloved Uzbek dishes.

Another reason to come is to enjoy one dish in particular - hanum. It looks like a big ravioli. The filling is quite simple: thinly sliced potato, spices and oil. Hanum is served with fresh onion rings mixed with dill. Many will agree that the special tomato gravy ontop makes hanum’s taste extremely good.

I am grateful that Gluttonous Row still exists; being here reminds me that I am Uzbek. Yes, hygiene here is not a priority, but no risk, no food reward!

Tashkent Spotter Umida

About me Hi and salom! I am a human who values honesty, kindness and humanity. Today my goals are to meet new people and listen to their stories. I believe that every person has something to tell. Drinking hot coffee, while hearing another voice is my meaningful leisure time. I just love a good meal. Hence, I eat more than travel. Russian cuisine is my favorite. I appreciate simplicity, as it helps make life easier. I'm a big fan of long walks. I am Uzbek and proud to be born in Uzbekistan. Why Tashkent Tashkent is my home. It is warm and close to the soul...
