Ambience and food is good but service for our group is lousy i have to say. Our group arrived ar our booking time. They, without asking us if we wanted any drinks or water, started to serve us the food and the ice cream desert immediately. The restaurant have also double ordered the food for us even we did ask to cancel some of our previous orders with the same number of people. But they said they have not cancelled our previous order and hence they insisted we have to finish all the food. Regardless if there were any miscommunication, one should asked why would we order almost 2 main course for each guests. In addition, they are rushing all the the food including serving all salads, 2 main courses and deserts at the same time for all of us. Ice creams are all melted in front of us before we get to have it. A very disapponted experience with such...

Beautiful Traditional Setting & Delicious Vegetarian Laghman

We ordered burrata salad, potato dumplings, vegetarian laghman, and a pot of ginger tea.

The food was very good with nice flavors. The burrata salad was tasty and fresh, and I’m really happy I could try the vegetarian version of the traditional laghman — it was delicious.

Price was around 7,000 KZT per person.

The decoration is beautiful, with traditional Kazakh elements. At one point, the staff even danced to a traditional song, which was a lovely and unique touch to the evening.

Service was friendly and attentive, though the dishes didn’t all arrive at the same time. Some staff speak English, and we received an English menu.

Practical details: • Plenty of seating, also for large groups • Cash and card accepted

A great place to enjoy Kazakh flavors in a beautiful,...
