The restaurant at the Hotel Turkmenabat is a good choice – its menu takes in Russian, Central Asian and Caucasian cooking, including Georgian chakhokhbili (chicken stew in a spicy tomato sauce). There's a pleasant garden with yurts and a few sun-dappled outdoor tables where you can dine if the dark interior doesn't appeal.
