It is a popular location for both tourists and locals. There are already dozens or hundreds of videos with an overview of this place) You can see how pilaf is cooked. There are several types of pilaf, they tell you what is the difference between one and the other, so that you take which one you like best.
There are always a lot of people here) At lunch, at first glance, there are no seats in the hall, but they quickly appear. Wait for a maximum of 5 minutes.
The pilaf is delicious)

The place, of course, is typically touristic and designed specifically for tourists. It's not worth looking for a "local flavor" here for sure. But the pilaf is delicious. although not a masterpiece, the staff is quite efficient, and the price tag is quite tolerable.
I don't think it's worth going here on purpose, but if you happen to be nearby, it's definitely worth going in. Moreover, visitors are allowed to enter the kitchen, which is worth a visit just to assess the scale of the enterprise...

It is located in a beautiful location, next to a TV tower. It's a huge place, pilaf and salads are always fresh. The service is fast, the prices are affordable. The pilaf is good, but perhaps not the best.

A very cool and "delicious" place - though only for lovers of oriental cuisine, there is simply no other one here :))) But the pilaf is excellent, there are up to 4 types all the time-and you can not only eat it, but also watch the whole process of preparation, which takes place nearby, in a hall with huge cauldrons! Everything else is also delicious and very affordable. Separately, I was pleased with the fresh pomegranate juice, which is pressed right in front of you from fresh fruits. So if you are a lover of real pilaf and are ready to spit on the opinion of would-be nutritionists who consider it excessively fatty and not useful - you definitely need to visit this place at least once!!! I am exactly like that-that's why I put the top five with a clear conscience and I will definitely visit this worthy place again if I am lucky enough to visit Tashkent again!!!

You need to visit here, but not for lovers of perfect cleanliness and especially squeamish. Pilaf is probably the best and most democratic (except at home, of course) in Tashkent, but the condition of sanitary zones (toilets - sorry), no comments!

It's a great place. Delicious pilaf of several types. You can also see how it is cooked in large cauldrons. It is both touristic and authentic at the same time. It is definitely worth visiting in Tashkent

An amazing colorful place! You only need to eat pilaf here. Very affordable prices. You can immerse yourself in the atmosphere and watch how pilaf is really cooked in a huge cauldron. There are several types. If you are not used to fatty foods, then immediately ask for a non-greasy one.
And just incredibly delicious tortillas, which are cooked right there

One of the most delicious pilaf flavors in Tashkent. I recommend it for both family and personal visits.
LIFE HACK. Pay for the desired pilaf from the outside cash register, take something and go to the cook. Everything will be put on you quickly, and then just find a place where you can sit and eat.
Inside the building, you can buy bread, tea or compote, salads separately
You will save time, because due to the large number of visitors, the waiters do not always have time to serve everyone quickly. And so, you will save both time and money for maintenance.
Have a good trip and enjoy your meal 🙃

What can I say, pilaf center. I usually order a wedding pilaf. Pickles go with it.
Everything is fine. You can see firsthand how plo is prepared in cauldrons with a diameter of several meters.
There is a shop nearby for tourists. You can buy national clothes, silk scarves, souvenirs. It has long been one of the must-visit places for tourists.

If you came to Tashkent and did not visit the Pilaf Center, then you have not been to Tashkent! Pilaf fire, you'd better not eat anywhere! It's very colorful and there are always a lot of people, and this is the best indicator! 💪

There are 4 types of pilaf (well, chicken, sunflower oil, linseed oil and separate pilaf). Everything you've tried is delicious. The prices are good. The place is popular with both tourists and locals. It's always crowded. It is open until 23:00.

I definitely recommend it. A magnificent floor! What is the festive version (tui osh), what is the Samarkand one. I thought it was purely a tourist attraction, but no. A really high-quality swimmer!
The service is a match - they work quickly, attentively and politely.

It's a good place. You can try different pilaf. The portion for Tashkent is moderate. It is better to take a full portion, the difference in the volume of pilaf in the plate is not large. I liked the Samarkand pilaf the most.

About once a year I get to Besh Kazan with someone for company and every time I notice that it gets worse. The place is hyped, pop, tourists are brought here by buses, and the institution simply cannot cope with such a flow. I understand that huge cauldrons are the main feature of the restaurant, but you can't let everyone in a row and in such quantity into the pilaf cooking area. This is, first of all, the kitchen, and there are people like at a demonstration - Chinese in masks, Europeans with dogs, mothers with strollers - not counting the chefs. Make glass walls there, hang broadcast monitors in the hall so that everyone can watch, but do not climb with their hands.
Why is pilaf paid in one place, and salads, tortillas and drinks in another? Make a clear distribution so that people don't migrate from queue to queue.
Toilets are a song. There is a hole in the floor, and there is a queue of three forks to it.
Before you eat, you get into the quest queue to pay for pilaf, then the queue to distribute pilaf, then the queue for salad, then you look for an empty table. Are all inconveniences compensated by the magical taste? In my opinion, no. Pilaf is the most ordinary, although, of course, there is no dispute about tastes.
The price per serving has more than tripled over the past three years. It is already like in Russia. Instead of investing in development, the owners just cut coupons

Very atmospheric! Tashkent wedding pilaf in a huge cauldron, you also approach the cauldrons as an excursion, a beautiful photo area decorated with fountains. The only drawback is the long wait, but it's worth it when the pilaf is brought.

It is a very beautiful place, pilaf is cooked right there in large cauldrons, you can watch the whole cooking process. I took a full set of Samarkand pilaf and salad, it turned out 65,000 sums.
The pilaf included kazy dolma quail eggs, sooooo delicious!!!there are a lot of people, but there are no problems with boarding, the service is fast. Generally in the top recommendations

At the entrance you get to the workshop where pilaf is prepared. There is smoke, meat is being chopped, something is being fried and cut. Everything is very slow. And this should be understood immediately. So go indoors, it's cooler there, find an empty table. It's a little hot outside, even under the awning and irrigation system. Pilaf was taken from Tashkent, with raisins, kazy and quail egg. Another dolma was walking towards him. It's very tasty. There are also very tasty tortillas here. Lemonade only looks beautiful, in fact there is a lot of syrup, it is very sweet, and herbs and lemon are not felt. It feels like you're drinking syrup. So it's better to have compote or green tea. Black in Uzbekistan is a regular packaged one. The prices are normal.

The legendary pilaf center in Tashkent. Delicious, inexpensive. Of course, I've tried even tastier pilaf, but the atmosphere itself is worth it. Hundreds of people, huge cauldrons, ovens with tortillas. The sight is worth it. And next to the TV tower, where you should go after a delicious lunch and admire the views of the city.

Be sure to visit this center in Tashkent. You will immediately get into the atmosphere of Uzbek cuisine, learn the taste of five types of pilaf, appreciate the work of the chefs, seeing firsthand the scale of the cauldrons, the amount of meat and rice. And most importantly, the extraordinary taste of this dish, which will not leave anyone indifferent.

I tried the most delicious pilaf for all the time and trips there, on the advice of friends I chose a Wedding one. A huge cauldron for 2000 kg and a lot of guests, decent portions. Now the number 1 of all the familiar pilaf centers.

A very popular place. There are a lot of seats, a lot of visitors, a lot of waiters. The order arrived quickly. The menu according to the person taking the order - 4 types of pilaf, tomato salad, two types of compote (or fruit drink - I do not remember), tea. Four stars - the pilaf did not quite meet (my personal) expectations. We ordered Tea house and Tashkent (festive, wedding). Both are delicious, but I was hoping there would be a bomb. The tea house went better - sharper than the Tashkent one, the corresponding pepper on the plate. I recommend the place.

An interesting tourist place. You can see how pilaf is cooked in large cauldrons on fire. Different types of pilaf and other national food.
A minus star due to the poor view of the sports grounds from one side.

A must-visit!) There are a lot of people, but despite this, everything happens quickly and organized. You can immediately find a place and sit down at the table, the waiter will come to you himself, take the order, and after that, at the exit, you can pay by check, which he will bring along with the pilaf.
It is a very atmospheric place, the pilaf is very tasty!

Delicious. Atmospheric. Quickly. I would say that a tourist must visit.
It should be borne in mind that by the middle of the day, the huge pilaf boilers have already been sold out and the staff is starting to wash them. Therefore, the visit should be planned before 13.00, and kebabs should be scheduled for the evening

Convenient location next to the TV tower. There are a lot of seats. A comfortable environment. The service is average, but the administrator is great. He keeps everything under control, understands everything at a glance.
Now about the food.
Achichuk is just no good. I got the wedding pilaf. In principle, everything is delicious, but the meat seemed bland. There was not enough depth of taste. As for the extra piece of kaza, it's just great! Amazingly delicious! However, the tortilla is also delicious.

God, this is just a swim paradise! Everything is delicious in autumn! You can come at any time before 16.00 - there will be pilaf.
There are a lot of tables, a lot of space.
The place is, of course, a tourist destination, but the quality has not lost from the flow.
I recommend a visit.

It's a good place. Both for those who are experienced in pilaf and for beginners. I advise you to take two or three different pilafs for the company. There are quite a lot of tourists. For those who are looking for some special pilaf, you can look for less touristic places. Everything is delicious.

Among the endless variety of restaurants, cafes, snack bars in Tashkent, there are several iconic places where there is no end of curious tourists. One of them is the Central Asian Pilaf Center, the Besh Qozon restaurant (Five cauldrons). A very authentic establishment.
Rumors that the pilaf is very tasty here are greatly exaggerated. The pilaf is ordinary, without any special frills and emotions. However, I only tried Tashkent pilaf (one of several that are prepared here), perhaps not the most delicious. Conveyor service. Orders are processed and submitted fairly quickly.
There is an atmosphere of excitement and bustle at the tables on the huge outdoor terrace under the awning.
Nevertheless, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit, but not for the sake of eating, but to see how it is prepared. Giant cauldrons are floating on an open fire, a hose is watering the floor, a good dozen chefs are tirelessly conjuring at cauldrons and cutting tables. Fire is burning, water is pouring, people are working - a combination that, as they say, can be admired indefinitely. The Show Must Go On!
Traveling around Tashkent, look here for an hour, especially since you can kill two birds with one stone, since there is a TV tower very close by, from the height of which you will see the picturesque, colorful, contrasting panorama of the capital of the Star of the East.

A must-visit place in Tashkent. Here, both locals and tourists enjoy several types of pilaf. I liked the festive (or wedding pilaf) the most. Pilaf can not only be eaten, but also to see how it is cooked. Take some epic photos against the background of giant cauldrons or panels of Besh Qoson. The prices are very encouraging.

It's a beautiful place. Low prices, courteous staff. There are 3 types of pilaf available (special, wedding and tea house), as well as various additives to them. Almost always fresh tortillas. The service is not only polite, but also fast, but it is better to repeat the order a couple of times.
If it's not cold outside, then it's better to take a table there, there are often a lot of people in the room.

Besh Kozon is a classic place in Tashkent, both for locals and tourists. Several types of pilaf are prepared and served here, you can watch and choose pilaf right in the cooking area. Pilaf, of course, is delicious! I remember and my mouth is watering. I took a teahouse, fatter, on fried meat with bones! I came in perfectly with tea and hot fried peppers. My wife chose a wedding cake with sweet notes of raisins! It's also very tasty! There are also very fragrant air cakes here! Fast service and affordable price. You can sit outside, on the veranda and indoors. You can walk around and film the whole process of cooking pilaf! I recommend it!

We are from Pavlodar, Kazakhstan, came with the children, went to the TV tower and decided to have dinner in Beshkozan....This is the very last place I wish you to visit.
Very rude waiters, there is no menu, everyone speaks from memory, pilaf that stands over the stove in the morning and does not cool down is just trash.
Yes, yes, and on 08/27/2024, after having dinner there, my children of 12 and 15 years old lay flat due to poisoning (vomiting, green stools). Dysbiosis and our trip was disrupted for 2 days.. Well, there are many pharmacies in Uzbekistan - we drank stopdiar for 3 days, we drink coffee and charcoal for 3 days.
Don't go there, greasy and spoiled food and rude waiters
