Very nice comfortable restaurant chain. We visited the one in Bishkek park and tzum. The one in tzum has lovely views and a very relaxed environment. Food is very good with pictures to help you you!

This review is based on the newly opened Navat restaurant, in Asia Mall, Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.

The Navat restaurant in Asia Mall is located on the top floor of the mall. A restaurant that only opened 2 days ago - or so we were told by the Manageress.

Everything is 'fresh' and new inside with nice seating areas and, if you're lucky to get a table by the windows, beautiful views of the mountains in the distance.

We were very happy with our restaurant choice and the Manageress greeted us warmly, and before our food arrived, asked we leave a review. Well, here it is!

The problem is the food! Between the 4 of us we ordered several dishes some of which were meat based.

However, the meat was full of gristle and tough to eat... in short much of it was inedible. The diced potatoes were also under cooked but the Manty (a traditional Kyrgyz dumpling) was fine.

We told the manageress our experience and she reply was "our chefs are still inexperienced".

Initially I took photos of the restaurant with the expectation of leaving a fabulous review, but instead I can only advise anyone who reads this to avoid it. There are much better restaurants around.

Great food and atmosphere, friendly staff, clean, authentic, affordable place. Must visit in Bishkek.

I went to try the local cuisine, not very impressed!, maybe I made the wrong choice, should have gone for the shaslik, as my wife did! She said it was good, but my beef was very tough!!

Nice day to spend in the afternoon for a tea or lunch. Breakfast set menu is delicious as well. Can reccomend to go with friends.
