Plov Center in Tashkent is a polarizing destination for those seeking Uzbekistan's most famous dish. Many visitors recommend it as a 'must-visit' near Chorsu Bazaar, praising the great-tasting plov and hot somsa. The service is notably efficient, with some guests being served in under ten minutes, making it ideal for a quick lunch. However, the restaurant has faced criticism regarding pricing transparency; some tourists reported being charged extra for side items like bread and tea that they initially believed were included. While some reviewers find the prices very reasonable, others suggest that portions are small and better plov can be found elsewhere in the city. Overall, it offers a bustling, local atmosphere that is best navigated with a bit of caution regarding the final bill.
