Went there for dinner. We were surprised with good interior design which is rare for Ashgabat, but food is average (nothing special) and service is really poor (which is not surprising for Tm :))

Altyn Jam in Ashgabat was recommended by our fixer/guide Oraz who dines there often and enjoys it. It was a good meal, nice atmosphere, friendly staff and good food, pretty busy place the night we were there and we left full and satisfied. I would want to go back but without our fixer (he is great donât get me wrong) as Iâm not sure if we go the same service others get due to his presence there and knowing the establishment. Try it for yourself, it was good for us.
7. Chandybil restaurant & steakhouse
CANDYBIL is exactly the place where time stops, and the surrounding atmosphere allows us to get away from everyday bustle and asphalt dust, somewhere in the middle of a green park.

It took 20 minutes to find the place with the local taxi. The place is very green. Feels like you are sitting in some vacational island or hotel. Steaks were excellent. Medium-well Tbone was good. 17 USD for 1 steak is a good price!Dear Sarah!We are glad that you liked our restaurant!Thank you for your review!

I have eaten at this place many times, and the one complaint I have is the limited menu. There aren't that many choices, so I wish they would work on that. Other than that, this place offers delicious choices - their "Cappuccino" mushroom soup is fantastic, they used to do a great chicken with couscous that they've (sadly) discontinued, and they do very good seafood dishes. The sushi is also surprisingly good, you wouldn't expect sushi from an otherwise-european-food restaurant. They have a good wine selection, though it's highly overpriced. The staff is very attentive and welcoming, and the chef will come out and ask you if your food is how you like it. They also readily make substitutions if the ingredient is available. Overall, this place isn't for everyday dining, but for special occasions, I'd say. I'm not a fan of the interior, and their "VIP" room is just hideously decorated. There is a small semi-private area where there are just 3 tables, and that's my favorite place to sit. You're separated from the main room, but it's not completely closed off.There is also a very nice outdoor dining area, which is open during the warmer months. The minus there is that it's TOO WARM in the summer, and there are no fans - there used to be some big industrial fans, but clients apparently said they were too loud, so they were taken away. Probably best to sit outside in the spring and fall, when it isn't too warm. The live music is nice enough, adds to the experience.Thanks for visiting us. Please come again

Altyn ADA pub will take care of your rest and offer the best of everything. If you have not visited the pub before or did it rarely, now it is the time when you can do it much more often and get the most out of it. No wonder ALTYN ADA is called gastropub,

This place has two sections available - one for louder parties and dancing, and another, "football-themed" room, where there are 2 large TVs hanging on the wall, and you could watch football or other sports that happen to be playing. The room is small, only has about 6 tables, but it's much quieter than the large hall, and is much more convenient for groups that want to chat and not have to yell at each other. This place is your basic beer pub, it serves cheap Berk and Zip (local beer brands), and has a large selection of food. Though we don't generally go there to eat, really just to have some snacks - like fries, or sandwiches - and to have some beer after work. The atmosphere is quite pleasant, the service is good, and prices are low. I'd recommend this place to groups of people for after-work happy hours.

Possibly the best place for international cuisine in Ashgabat, and for sure the best steak there.The exterior sign just says "Restoran" and its quite hard to notice it. But maybe that could be done in purpose, as not that many visitors there which is one of the pros of this place.But don't even try Thai Chicken there...

The restaurant provides meals in a yurts. The furniture in a yurt follows traditions of Turkmenistan - carpets, pillows, low tables. IT is clean and have good design for those who likes traditions. The menu is wide and includes national and European dishes. The cooking is tasty. The prices are average, not cheep, but not so high as in Europe. About $15-20 per person. Service is not so efficient and takes time. Comparing to Europe services at 5 stars restraints I ill rate them as 3 points.
