Cafe Tselinnikov — Restaurant in Astana

This is a Georgian restaurant in the centre of an old bank of the city, on a right bank, not too far from the river.

The interior is nice, but the music is extremely loud for this kind of place. You cannot even hear your partner, you cannot relax and enjoy the food, and it actually gave me a bit of a headache.

The food was average…. Could be better and have more taste. The salad that we ordered seemed to be without any dressing, not even a salt. But we really liked khachapuri.

The service… is another story… really sloooow and it’s you who has to go and tell them that you are ready to make an order. Their stuff is not trained at all - this could be seen by the way they put cutlery next to a plate.

It’s totally up to you if you want to go and check this place, but we won’t come back...

we've been there two times, good place if you have kids. Ours age 1 and 4 had fun playing outside in a play area. The service though could be improved. Waiters are not trained appropriately, can not advise on the menu, always had to raise a hand for small things, like extra fork, salt. Three waiters were coming and leaving, left us confused which one is designated to our table. In the end receipt was brought by another one : ) The costs should be cheaper with this kind of service, they charge a lot. Small portion of fries is $3, + extra for ketchup...

This restaurant is located in the center of old City area. This is one of the oldest and traditional places of Tselinograd (now Astana). The interior still reminds of that Soviet period starting from the old movie posters to some interior elements. The main trait is Georgian cuisine. Kebabs and shashlyks are quite good. The service is an area for improvement because new waiters are not that customer-oriented and music played should be selected more properly and played not that loud. As for the rest it is quite good...
