Real Turkish tea and decent food for the price. Their noon happy hour is a nice touch, though I wish they had a better wine list to go with it.

Stopped by for a quick dinner. Service was friendly, no complaints there. Menu felt a bit limited though, especially if you&#39;re not in the mood for grilled stuff. Drinks list saved it for me, decent selection of local beers. Food was okay, nothing crazy. Probably fine if you&#39;re nearby and hungry, but I wouldn&#39;t go out of my way.

The horse ribeye was a solid choice&mdash;tender and flavorful. Mr. Sabir checked on us just enough without hovering. Prices are steep for Almaty, but the seating was comfortable and we never felt rushed.

The interior is bright and stylish, and the horse meat lasagna was a unique twist I really enjoyed. French toast leaned sweet for me, but the staff made sure everything was on point.

Came here with a couple of friends last week and honestly the beer list is massive. We tried a few drafts and they were all pretty solid. One thing though, some stuff on the menu wasn&rsquo;t available which was a bit annoying. Still, good spot if you&rsquo;re into trying different brews. 🍺

Came here for cocktails and honestly the presentation was the highlight &mdash; one drink arrived in this little glass bird thing, kinda unexpected. Outdoor high tables were nice, DJ kept the energy up. Only thing is the food portions are more like snacks, so don&#39;t come starving. Service got a bit slow when it filled up, but I&#39;d still go back for another round.

Been coming here for a while now. Biryani&rsquo;s still solid, one of the better ones in town. Just wish they&rsquo;d serve thali earlier in the afternoon.

Stopped by for a quick bite &mdash; the pizza was genuinely good, crispy edges and fresh toppings. Place was clean, which I always notice. Staff were young and seemed to actually enjoy being there. Price felt fair for what you get. Maybe not a destination spot, but solid if you&#39;re in the area.

The interior lighting made everything feel warmer than expected. Borscht was solid, that modern twist on the pelmeni worked well.

Came here for a business dinner, ordered soup, salad, meat, and dessert&mdash;everything was solid. The room was quiet enough to actually talk, which I appreciated. Service was on point, not hovering. I had a glass of red with the meat course, worked well. Only small thing: dessert took a bit to come out. Still, a good spot for a low-key evening.

The kids&rsquo; play area saved the visit for me. Food was decent, staff friendly enough. Service was a bit slow but nothing crazy. If you&rsquo;ve got small kids, it&rsquo;s a practical choice. I&rsquo;d come back mainly for that, not the food.

Lively music kept the energy up all night &mdash; great spot to hang with friends.

Pizza was solid and the bill didn&rsquo;t hurt, which is rare these days. Small place, nothing fancy, but they get the basics right. I&rsquo;d say it&rsquo;s fair for what you get. Maybe not the best I&rsquo;ve had, but for the price, I left full and satisfied.

Stopped by this beer bar on the right bank last week. Good selection of brews, tried a couple I hadn&#39;t seen before. Snacks were solid too, we ordered some to share and they went well with the drinks. There&#39;s a summer terrace out back, pretty chill spot if you&#39;re with a few friends. Only thing is it gets busy, so maybe book ahead if you&#39;re coming later.

Sushi was fresh and the delivery came way faster than expected. Packaging held up fine too. Solid pick if you don&#39;t feel like going out.

Came here twice&mdash;Bruce the bartender remembered my order, which was nice. Live music was good, not too loud. Gets crowded on weekends though, so grab a spot early.

The interior felt modern but still cozy. I ordered the grilled salmon with quinoa and the veggies tasted properly fresh. Portion was decent for the price. Service was fine, nothing to complain about. Just wish they had more salad options on the menu.

Solid service. Waiters actually tried to speak English with us, which helped a lot. Food was good too, no complaints. Place felt a bit touristy but that&#39;s fine. Would stop by again if I&#39;m in the area.

Came here for a business lunch and the food was solid. Plating looked nice, not the usual boring stuff. Service kept up even when it got busy. The main dining area is dark, kinda like a lounge, which I liked. The banquet side is way brighter and more casual though. Prices are fair for what you get.

The summer terrace view is gorgeous, and the shashlik was properly tender. We killed the whole plate before any photos.

The buns came out almost crispy &mdash; not what I expected, but the burger itself was solid. Cozy spot inside, and the price felt fair for the portion.
