Faiza — Restaurant in Bishkek City

This is our very first visit to kyrygztan. We asked our guide to take us to a hotel where we can get local cuisine and she brought us here. It was crowded even at 3.30 Pm. Yet once you get the seat,the services were very fast. Within mins of ordering we started to get all our orders. We tried carrot salad which was different and nice. Then the famous Mantil and damn it was tooo good when you eat it while it was hot. The meat felt fresh and tasty. Then we tried Gurl ganfan, which is rice mixed with vegetables and meats,the rice were kinda sticky and it was good too and we prefer this rather than legman. The only thing which we didn't like was the bread as it was cold. The cost was very nominal and for 4 it costed only 350 som each. I would definitely suggest this place to try all kyrygztan's...

This was my first meal in Bishkek! Couldn't have been better!

My Kyrgyz bestie took me here to eat authentic local food. The place was full in both areas of the salon, so we had to wait less than 10 minutes for a table. This was the first signal that the restaurant was gooood!

She picked for both of us, and, even though at first I thought it was not going to be enough, it was definitely more than enough to leave satisfied.

The Lagman (sort of fried noodles) were the best. Manty (dumplings), together with the Kaimak (not sour cream but similar), were also great. I can't recall the flavor of the Fried Pelmeni, but probably was also as good as the Mantys.

The compote tho was slightly sweet, so we diluted it with ice and water.

Definitely a place worth visiting if you want to try...

It lives up the hype. Just don't come at 8-9PM or you'll be served manty or samsa made from the morning batch, and trust me the difference is quite noticeable.

Come for these three in the morning or during the day. And come for lagman anytime.

Ethnic food. The pricing is average. The dishes taste like you wanna repeat them, even if you're full. You can pay with a card and even your phone (Apple Pay — tested successfully; Google Pay or Samsung Pay, I presume, works the same).

PS: after biting your manty piece, add several drops of vinegar inside. Believe me, you'll like it. Taster discretion is advised!

PPS: no shashlyk in the southern Faiza, they don't make it. Only the...
