Almost every decent restaurant is on the Namba app. - Jun 2022
There is a decent selection of restaurants. Russian, Korean, Chinese, Turkish, Thai, Indian, Georgian are all available, in addition to typical Central Asian fare. Namba Food is a delivery service that will bring pretty much anything in the city to your door. We've found the food to be much better than anticipated here. - Aug 2018
Lots of pretty good choices, little American fast food, just Nathans and KFC. - Sep 2017
There is nothing recognizable here- not even a McDonald's. Everything is local. Lots of good restaurants. You can get a really nice main course, appetizer, dessert and beverage for less than US$20. - Jan 2015
There are no Western chains there. But there are many, many great restaurants in town with international and local cuisine. There's also a lot of good street food. Eating is cheap in Bishkek except in a few Western-style places that don't have great food anyway. - May 2014
You can have a good Russian, Chinese, Indian or western meal for about $10/head. There are two fast-food chains (Begemot and Domino) which sell ok burgers and little else for $1. - Dec 2011
