Deli Dharbar
Is a great little indian food place. usd 5-7 for a filling and tasty meal. it's between the bazaar and the only stoplight in town, on a side street. ask locals for microfinance bank. it's across the street.
Varka
Russian food. reasonable price. you may get sick, although not too bad. much more local in flavor. in front of the red crescent compound. ask locals for "varka". they all know it.
Serena
Continental kinda food. usd 12-15 a plate. pricey, and not all that impressive.
Hit the bazaar around noon for osh pilaf, eggs, and potatoes, or all variety of fried pastries. Head up the place where they sell bread in stacks on the main road.
