What the community said
A Turkish restaurant was the favorite: ordered a ribeye steak (not technically real ribeye, but tasty), and it has air conditioning — important when it's +40°C (104°F) outside.

A Mongolian restaurant was also a hit — unusual menu, air-conditioned indoor seating, much more comfortable than dining outside in the heat.

A Mexican restaurant disappointed specifically because of its menu — underwhelming compared to other cuisines tried over three days.
1 day ago Mexican restaurant (not recommended)
At a hotel restaurant, guests complained about stale-smelling red fish, dry and bland waffles/pancakes, an odd mayo-heavy 'Russian salad,' and two cases of food poisoning within 24 hours — food described as oversalted and tough.

One traveler noted dish cleanliness issues in Turkish restaurants generally: never greasy, but sometimes not properly washed or chipped.
