Restaurants in Karakol

  1. Dungan

    You'll find Dungan snacks such as ashlyanfu (meatless, cold, gelatine noodles in a vinegary sauce) in the Al-Tilek Bazaar for only a few som. It can be quite spicy so watch the red stuff. The best Dungan food is of course in Dungan homes, where a slap-up meal may have eight to 10 courses (Dungan weddings can have up to 30 courses). Yak Tours can arrange a good Dungan feast if you can get a group together.

  2. A

    Arzu Café

    Has good vegetarian options, very filling and popular with locals at lunchtime. Nonvegetarians might try the breizol (around Som55) - battered meat rolled around tomatoes and other vegetables.

  3. B

    Traktiry Kalinka

    The grumpy service here doesn't mar the cosy décor, good selection of salads and cold draught beer. Look for the pretty Russian façade.

  4. C

    Kench Café

    One of the better restaurants in town, in the southern outskirts and with an English menu. The chicken with mushroom sauce is recommended.
