Dalai Café
Далай
A budget-friendly old favorite on the road to Shaman Rock, popular for Buryat meat pastries and fried pies, ideal for a casual meal.
Dalai is on Pushkin Street in Khuzhir village, the street that leads straight to Shaman Rock. It is an affordable local favorite with visitors and residents alike, with about 70 seats and outdoor tables. The menu centers on Buryat meat pastries, fried pies, lagman noodles and plov, with dumplings, blini and soups also available, and takeaway is possible. Reviews are mixed. It gets crowded and requires waiting at peak times. In autumn and winter it is one of the few places in the village still open, though the menu shrinks in the off-season.
Opening hours
Daily 09:00–22:00 (2GIS; please confirm in the off-season)
