About
One does not simply come to Osh and leave without eating plov. It is the most delicious and iconic dish of Central Asia symbolizing unity, friendship, and peace. But what if I told you that you can expand your plov experience beyond by cooking it. Intrigued? Then go ahead and join my unconventional plov-cooking tour!
This culinary tour will take you through the entire process of plov-making. The journey starts with wandering through the alleys of the local bazaar and collecting the ingredients. While we gather the ingredients you will learn how to bargain like a true Central Asian.
Afterward, you will join a local family who will demonstrate all the peculiarities of plov cooking. You will be involved in preparing, cutting and sending the ingredients to the cauldron. While the plov cooks, you will have extra time to explore the neighborhood and see the everyday life of Osh. And last but not least you will enjoy your culinary masterpiece and hear the rituals and legends about plov.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Atabek was an amazing guide. His knowledge about central Asia history and culture is impressive. We booked 2 tours with him: osh walking tour and cooking class. We had a delicious time with him and the plov was marvelous. Furthermore he gives good recommandations about enjoying the time in osh.
We definitely recommand him
