Kardas is a really nice bakery which sells both sourdough bread and Turkish specialties. I especially recommend their börek. You do have to be early for the sourdough because it sells out quite fast, they have a different specialty everyday.

This is the one and only Uyghur restaurant in town. Really special food. A mix between Chinese sechuan cuisine and eastern Arabian cuisine. Don't expect a finedining restaurant, it's pretty basic. Highly recommended though!
