The Plov: the best plov we tried

A little outside the city is the restaurant The Plov, which prepares this local dish.

The place serves only this dish, in two different versions (Bukhara style and Samarkand style). A generous portion costs about €3.50 as indicated in the menu (1 euro = 15.000 som), and additional ingredients such as tail meat, tendons, or horse meat can be added to the basic plate.
