Asian cuisine restaurants Bichkek

Red dominates, between the posts of the portals and the evocative lanterns of Chinese temples. Inside, there is a Zen spirit with incense sticks, Buddha effigies and large, well-spaced tables where one can sit comfortably for a Chinese meal and where only the music, which unfortunately oscillates between old eighties standards and elevator music, can be heard. Let's hope it will be fixed, because for the rest, this is the best address in Bishkek for lovers of fried noodles, fried ravioli and spicy meats!

Many restaurants have succeeded one another in this strategic location, just a stone's throw from Erkindik Avenue and the main points of interest in the city center. But this is the first time you'll find a tchaikhana featuring national recipes rather than the usual pizzas for tourists. The clientele is rather young, lingering over a cup of tea and a few chachlyks. It's relaxed, inexpensive and the choice of dishes, salads, soups, etc., is excellent, for a budget that knows how to remain modest.

A warm, resolutely young, festive and lively atmosphere. This restaurant, which has decided to give pride of place to chicken in all its forms and in all its recipes (with a clear focus on Japan and Korea), has also chosen to devote a setting focused on art and creation. The furniture is design, the decoration is neat, so that the restaurant has become Bishkek's somewhat bobo lair, with a mix of artists, intellectuals and students. Jazz on Friday night, open mic on Saturday.

This is the place to go if you want to try a top-of-the-range version of Central Asian cuisine. The menu covers all Kyrgyz, Uzbek and Kazakh specialties: several types of plov, beshbarmak, pilmenis, jiz-biz... Everything is appetizing, and the best option is to go with friends to order the widest possible variety of dishes and taste everything! And don't forget to make a reservation if you want to find a place at the end of the week: the restaurants on little Orozbekov Street are literally jam-packed!
