Mall Dova is the biggest shopping center in Moldova, you can find everything here. You can go shopping, watch a movie, or have a nice dinner. The first place I love going to at Mall Dova is Patria cinema. They have most movies in English.
After the film, when I get hungry, I always eat at Lord of the Wings. This place is so amazing, because you can choose between more than a dozen different types of sauces for your wings, from sweet to extra spicy. Also, you can choose the way the wings are cooked or have a wing-burger. My favorite kind is the grilled wings with honey and pomegranate sauce, the sweetest ones, combined with an original milkshake.
Also, if you are searching for something fun to do, there is a bowling place you can book a lane at and also two lanes with fences for beginners. There are some arcade games in the same area, as well as table football and air hockey.
