The stylish âTimesâ bar is unique, first of all for the location: panoramic view from the 7th floor of the hotel "Ambassador" will not leave anyone indifferent. On the one side the majestic mountains Ala-Too, on the other a modern fast-growing capital.

It's a nice cafe a bit fancy for me but in general I liked it. The prices are quite high but it's one of those type of cafes (Elite Cafes). I had some grilled sheep and it was nice. I'm not sure I will go back again because of the location out of the center and the prices are a bit out of my budget for what you get. Location is on the south side of Bishkek close to the mountains and near AUCA University.

The first authentic Thai cafe in Central Asia located in the hidden gem of the city center of Bishkek.

Very family friendly restaurant with limited yet excellent food. Thoroughly enjoyed our Spicy Som Tam with carrots instead of Papaya - not exactly like in the Isan province but surely offered its Central Asian fused flavors - both savory and tasty. As a former resident of South East Asia - we have marked this place for our regular outing. :)

Popular place for tour groups. They have this âmistâsystem to cool the place outside. Service is good. Food is excellent and looks like the pictures in the menu. mainly local dishes, very tasty and at very affordable prices. Clean toilets. And a small kids playground (till age of around 8 yrs) outside. Downfall was that their WiFi was not working.

National food and ethno- music.
Reviewed By Birx2014
We visited the restaurant today, on the 26th September 2019. Interior is great. Traditional local themes. Food is great for meat eaters but also vegetarians. Prices are very reasonable. Staff is extremely efficient, polite, interested in your well-being. Genuinely interested, not just polite. It's very clean. They had good local live music. I just don't know what else to say. It is great. Lovely restaurant in a lovely city. Bishkek is a vibrant, colourful, green, friendly city with lovely people and the restaurant and it's staff are an amazing representation of this brilliant city.

Restaurant is very popular and if visited during lunchtime, you have to expect some time to get a free table. But afterwards, later afternoon, it is more empty than full. Pros:1. Very efficient and quick service 2. Large portions 3. Affordable pricesCons:1. Foods are served in a very simple manner2. Bit noisy during lunchtime3. Possible problems with parking

The wonderful local decor in bright silks and tapestry is very welcoming. The staff are friendly and English is spoken. The menu is local food starting with a small glass of quite sour, salty tasting milk drink, some won't like it but I did. Good range of dishes from salad, grills and soups. Although most restaurants in the region say they are vegetarian friendly, there is not a lot of scope. Extremely good value for money

This etno complex is really impressing, and bringing you into the legend of nomand life and tradition, with authentic yurts very beautiful decorated.beyond that the service is horribly slow and awkward, clumsy, they did not serve us the dishes we have ordered and brought something else, and finally my wife went out without having a dinner.we have paid for a private folklore music show, finally they brought in two other groups, that did not share the cost,without even asking us. show was promised to last about 40 minutes, they dashed 10-15 minutes.in general the attitude of the staff was indifferent and arrogant, pity.and finally the price was by far out of proportion high, as in all tourist traps.SKIP THIS TRAP !

This place was recommended to me not only by hostel staff, but by many locals too.When you walk in you see the âhiveâ... a lot of people inside either eating or waiting for takeaway. Yet service and cooking is so fast you can pop in and out within 1 hr easily.Food is super tasty and prices very reasonable. Larher portion of the most expensive meal of the menu is 320 Soms / â¬4 / $5 ...This is a must visit for a local cuisine!

Don't be fooled by the modest exterior, if you can even find it! Very professional, very authentic, good service, just what you'd expect of a fine Japanese restaurant. We tried the sushi, Shrimp Tempura, and several other classic dishes. Friendly staff, not much English but not really needed.
