SAFRON KOCHKOR

The restaurant's name comes from the bright yellow of its walls, contrasting with the red of the poufs on which you sit to place your order. A fifties touch that's not unpleasant in the setting, and quite unexpected in Kyrgyzstan. The menu is less complex: pizzas, burgers and snacks. It's rather copious and the pizzas are really good. There's nothing really local about the ingredients, but the friendly atmosphere and low budget make this a good place to stop.
