Agnista Chingeltei - Ulaanbaatar

Really nice food, huge menu with many traditional Mongolian dishes. No English was spoken when I was there and the menu is Mongolian, but we worked it out and it was delicious. I'm back.

I think this restaurant must have two branches because I went to another place (the one who if you are looking for Google Maps). I ordered a delicious soup and fried dumplings. Perfect for a cold, rainy day. The food was hearty and filled, but only a touch-belt for my taste.

Admittedly arrived at 7pm, but here it is nearly 8pm on a Friday and people keep drifting in to pick up carry out. So 7:30 is not their closing time. Stood 2’ away from the owners for 10min trying to ask if they were open. They finally handed me an English menu. They were out of everything I asked for except the green salad. Ended up with dumplings and an adzuki bean boba drink. Portion sizes are great. Dumpling quality first rate. But to be out of everything on the menu even bottles of water? There are three women at another table whose plates haven’t been cleared in the 50 min I’ve been here, and no one has brought their bill. Apparently, calling ahead for take out is the way to go here. Ask a kindly Mongolian speaker (most of them are. Kind. to call in the order for you.

Their portions are really filling. I'm just glad that places like these exist in Ulaanbaatar. I'm posting the pinpoint location to help anyone with finding this place [hidden link]

I didn't struggle to find the place, it has a big sign on its entrance. The portions are typically Mongolia and really big, I had the dumplings which were extremely tasty. Also bought some handmade vegan sausage and baked goods and have no complaints.
