The Osh State University Botanical Garden, while primarily a site dedicated to plant conservation and education, showcases an array of indigenous plant species that are significant to the region's culinary heritage. Kyrgyz cuisine has been shaped by the nomadic lifestyle of its people and the mountainous terrain of the country. While traditionally the diet is heavily reliant on meat (especially mutton and beef), there are notable vegetarian dishes that reflect both the sedentary agricultural lifestyle and the Russian influence on the region's cuisine.
Note: The direct vicinity of Osh State University Botanical Garden might not have its own restaurants, so visitors may need to look into nearby areas of Osh city to enjoy local cuisine.
