Restoranas Beshbarmak — Restaurant in Vilnius

It is such an honour and excitement to have a place where I might taste the Kazakh cuisine. They have just opened today and as soon as I heard I rushed here to try long-missed beshbarmak with horse meat. Although the latter part mentioning the horse meat may sound weird to locals or foreigners but it is a traditional food of Kazakhs. So if you want to taste some unique flavours and be welcomed by Asian warmth, I recommend visiting this place. Right at the moment they only accept cash.

Avoid this place at all costs! Apparently it used to be run by Kazakhs, and now is currently run by a Turkish guy (who claimed to be Kazakh btw, and when we asked in which part of Kazakhstan he was from, he then admitted to be Turkish). We asked for plov and shurpa and what we had was some white rice with unmelted butter and some pieces of meat on top (nothing to do with plov), and the soup was greasy and with lemon (?) and mint (???). I understand that someone might not be familiar with the Kazakh cuisine, but at least look up at some recipes, or change the restaurant type. Plus we have been overcharged. Honestly, one of the worst meals I ever had in my life.

A random place in a random street in an European capital. Very good food, the owner is also very friendly, he offered us Turkish chai to try free of charge. Prefer this niche kebab place over a crowded tourist...
