Ikh Ursgal

Top choice in Mongolia


We found great grilled chicken, fried mutton ribs and decent French fries at this local favourite. The kitchen pushes out delicious meat dishes sure to satisfy carnivorous Mongolians; there are also some Chinese stir-fries on the menu, which has pictures (but no English).
