Cook Plov in Osh - Hands-On Plov Cooking Tour & Tasting in Osh Region

Summary: It was an excellent mix of good food and many insights into the local culture! Atabek is very knowledgeable and answered all our questions.

Summary: I can highly recommend booking one of Atabek's tours. He is a really wonderful person and very knowledgeable guide. He knows his city, culture and politics. I not only learnt a lot, I also felt very well entertained during the tour. He also supported me with transport logistics to Bishkek. Great guide and a wonderful person.

Summary: Excellent experience! Atabek and his Uncle & Cousin are fun and jovial. And the Plov was delicious - The best I tried on our trip in Kyrgyzstan! Atabek is very knowledgeable about Osh and his country and is a wonderful and gracious host.

Summary: Delicious food, Kyrgyz culture and great conversation what more could you want! I cannot recommend doing this tour enough. Atabek is open, funny, insightful and like all the best guides keen to share his culture and knowledge with you. The plov ‘we’ cooked was delicious and it was lovely to meet some of Atabek’s family while we (his uncle) prepared the meal. I enjoyed every minute of this tour.

Summary: I really enjoyed the plov cooking experience with Atabek and his family. The tour included going to the market and selecting all the ingredients and then preparing and cooking a delicious plov in a beautiful garden in Atabek's family house. Having tried several plovs after this experience, I can honestly say the plov we made during this tour was the best and most delicious one. All in all, perfect food, perfect company and perfect tour. I highly recommend it!

Summary: We spent a whole day in Osh with Atabek and it was an amazing experience. The delicious plov cooked over a fire outside in the garden of Atabek's house was just one of many highlights of that day. We also visited different craftsmen and sights in Osh and the surrounding area. Atabek clearly knows a lot about Osh with its rich history and culture and he is very happy to share it in excellent English and a very comprehensive way. He was also very helpful throughout our stay in Osh with excellent recommendations for our free time. I suggest to everyone visiting Osh to get in touch with Atabek and you will not be disappointed! Thank you Atabek for such a wonderful experience in Osh and looking forward to continuing working with you.

Summary: Loved the plov and the whole experience. We even were able to help with the preparation. Highly recommend.

Summary: As a single traveler arriving to Osh, there was no better way to getting to know the city and new people. The tour was a combination of hosting, workshop, and a little bit of walking, Atabek was very nice and answered every question in every topic from history to cooking and tradition, and the welcoming of him and his family was incredible! I recommend the great experience very much, one of the most unique I had in Kyrgyzstan!

Summary: Atabek is a real wealth of knowledge about Osh and Kyrgyzstan; he's well educated, has a great delivery, and seems to have a really strong understanding of what tourists want out of an experience. His family garden (the location of the plov cooking) is a real oasis of peace - it's a little out of the city center, full of flowers and shade, and just an overall lovely place to spend an afternoon. After filling up on a massive portion of tasty plov, you'll almost certainly want to find a quiet corner for a nap. Highly recommended.

Summary: Atabek is a great young entrepreneur bringing life to the tourism scene in Osh. We had a fantastic day with him shopping ingredients, learning about the local history during a district walk, and cooling yummy Plov with his very welcoming family in the outskirts of the city. It was clearly the best experience in Osh we had, and by far the most delicious Plov we had in all central asia. Highly recommended
