This exotically decorated, Central Asian–themed restaurant is a place to come for quality regional cooking. Old favourites such as manty, laghman, shashlyk, plov and spicy Dungan noodles are styled for the Western palate, and it's a good place to try Kazakh specialities including beshbarmak and horse steaks. The Japanese food in the basement is missable. Enter from Makataev.
