Bishkek

Central Asian restaurants in Bishkek

  1. A

    Café Faiza

    It's a wildly popular Kyrgyz restaurant in the north of town that offers high-quality local dishes at reasonable prices. You won't get near the place at lunch.

  2. B

    Chaikhana Jalal-Abad

    Has pleasant bamboo huts, cordial staff and, as the name suggests, serves up southern specialities such as larzuro (fried beef and vegetables), salads and shashlyk.

  3. C

    Bakit Restaurant

    The place to go if you have a big hunger with its decent sized servings. The menu has been incorrectly translated so you don't always get what you think you ordered. It's worth the gamble.

  4. D

    Astana Café

    Has a great atmosphere and cheap Uyghur food, including chicken shashlyk and tasty salads. At night the place is jumping and there's a small cover charge for the (for once) decent live music.

  5. E

    Café Mazai

    Hop down the stairs into a faux cave, an indubitable burrow of rabbit specialities. The English menu details such dishes as 'fillet of rabbit' and the 'rabbit juicy' along with more conventional fare.

  6. F

    Labyrinth Café

    Cheap eats and cheap beer can be found next door to TsUM at this open-air café serving Central Asian dishes such as Kazakh-style ribs and beshbarmak (flat noodles with a meat broth). Find a spot under the willows or umbrellas and settle in for some serious people-watching.
