The grounds are run-down, the music's too lound, and it's too far from the centre – but take a bit of the delicious shashlyk and you'll agree it's worth the trip. Puzzlingly, shashlyk is listed on the menu in Kyrgyz only. It's lamb (Кой), beef (Уй), chicken (Тоок), and duck (Өрдөк).
The restaurant is on the bypass road that swings around town. Look for the small white sign and yurts in the yard.
