The Darkan market in Shymkent is a place that impresses with its atmosphere and makes you feel like an alien. From the outside, the market looks unremarkable, which immediately catches the eye. They sell everything here: fruits, vegetables, meat, dried fruits, clothes, shoes and many others.
The peculiarity of the market is its vastness and variety of goods. It seems that you have entered another world, where every corner is filled with life and energy. The prices in the market are lower than in other places, due to the high competition.
You can not only buy everything you need at the market, but also try traditional dishes such as pilaf, samsa and shish kebab. It is especially worth trying the Kazakh soup “Nauryz kozhe”, which, although it does not look too attractive, is very nutritious.
In general, the Darkan market is a unique place that is worth visiting at least once to feel the real atmosphere of Shymkent and enjoy a variety of goods and tastes..
A big disadvantage of the district administration is that you need to make a square along the road, milking the evening leisure of the district's residents. The area is dirty, you need to put things in order, there are chaotic stalls everywhere, and ugly business areas.
Ashana, that's where the man is standing at the back, there's a dining room, on the other side, I recommend it, the surpa is very good, the masa is half, they cook very tasty. Lamb kebabs are great, fresh meat, prices have been pleasantly reduced, 1200 servings of sour cream with meat, a lot of meat is real, 500 tenge a stick of kebab. People are polite. Whoever will be there, feel free to go eat.
The way the market was built was quite good , but after the appearance of Magnum , the market died nearby .Now it is a bus station and the sale of spare parts for Hyundai grand Starex cars.
