Ash Borboru

Kyrgyzstan


Though the name is literally 'plov centre', any of the dishes off the local-cuisine menu go well with a fountain-filled courtyard overlooking the valley below. Orders should be submitted an hour or two in advance and plov is sold by the kilo (1300som), so plan ahead and bring a group.

It's just east off the roundabout on the southern edge of town.
