the most authentic establishment from A to Z, with a modern approach to cuisine and top-end service. It was an exceptional, completely new experience for me. About everything in order.
The atmosphere begins with unusual doors, and with how beautifully snowflakes and mountain air fly into the hall with the arrival of guests. There is tea, water and nuts in the waiting area. The restaurant has two halls: with a cot where you can comfortably sit on the floor and a traditional seating at the tables. The kitchen is open. You can see the cooking of pilaf in a cauldron and tortillas in a tandoor. A feeling of warmth and comfort immediately comes. The music immerses you into a pleasant trance state, literally everything has been done to fully immerse yourself in the atmosphere.
The menu is unusual, a completely non-trivial set of dishes. Everything is in a modern trendy design. I tried what the restaurant is proud of.
Horse meat tartare. Pretty exotic, right? But it is incredibly tasty, the perfect balance of taste is the maximum pleasure for lovers of raw meat.
Lamb brisket with potatoes, a very satisfying dish in an exquisite presentation. Instead, I was offered local trout, but I really wanted to eat plenty of gorgeous Kazakh meat.
Apple dessert with gold leaf. The apples themselves are from the restaurant's garden. They say that soon there will be cider too. For me, the dessert is pleasant, but without the "wow".
Drinks include local riesling. Unexpectedly fine wine, I highly recommend tasting it on occasion. And fragrant herbal tea.
I would also like to note the exceptional service, above all praise. I would say exemplary.
The restaurant has a summer terrace, I can imagine how luxurious it is here in the summer when it is open! A reason to come again!
I definitely recommend visiting this impressive institution. Book tables in advance.

Great restaurant, the food is very tasty. The service is at the highest level. The staff is friendly, I do my best for a comfortable stay, authentic.
It's a cozy atmosphere, but I'd like the music to be quieter. But that's my opinion.
A gorgeous place with a gorgeous interior and in a very beautiful place.
The food is generally delicious, especially the horse meat tartare. The hot dishes were delicious, but very salty (we had horse meat cheeks, lamb neck, lamb brisket, noodles with chicken). We informed the waiter about this, to which the chef replied that this was supposed to be the case. In general, we left with a strong thirst, so that the most delicious thing already seemed to be plain water. The service was excellent, and the waiter, Arthur, was great!
The restaurant is located in a picturesque place with clean, fresh air. Excellent cuisine, interesting service, very polite staff. Before serving the dish, the waiter explained in detail what each ordered dish is and what ingredients it is made from.
I highly recommend this wonderful restaurant.
I was celebrating my birthday. (the spouse made a gift) . The atmosphere is like in the Gorynych restaurant (Moscow). The staff is customer-oriented. The birthday boy from the restaurant had dessert. I recommend it, I liked everything.
The restaurant captured my heart! A very pleasant, very tasty and colorful place! The service is excellent! You feel taken care of as soon as you step on the doorstep of the establishment! The table reservation is valid for 2 hours, but during this time you can have a leisurely dinner and chat. I definitely recommend you to visit!
I've been there 2 times and I didn't regret both!
The dishes are authentic and delicious. The waiters and staff are friendly)
I would like to mention interesting cocktails separately, among other things, the waiters tell a story related to the name of the cocktail, which is based on the folkler. The place is gorgeous, but -1 star, because all cocktails are for 1 taste, there is no difference at all between them)))
a cozy place, wonderful staff, delicious dishes and local wines, interesting cocktails and unobtrusive, but beautiful presentation — definitely a craftsman in Kazakhstan
One of the best restaurants, one of the 20 most beautiful restaurants in the world
Original cuisine, beautiful views, cozy atmosphere🥰
But, you need to book in advance, as there are always a lot of guests here.
We bring our guests to this restaurant so that they have the best memories of Almaty!
A very beautiful place, the best restaurant in the city, the atmosphere, the idea of the restaurant, the food, the service are all excellent, we are delighted!
I advise everyone to visit
The cuisine is very tasty, all the meat dishes are just perfect. The atmosphere is interesting, the place itself is beautiful, and so is nature. It looks like the former residence of the chairman of the Central Committee.
A great restaurant with a great location.The food is delicious, the staff is polite.The atmosphere is quite cozy, the interior is in the national style.It's worth visiting.
A very beautiful, atmospheric place! The kitchen is great! The service is super! Thank you for having such an institution in Almaty! I wish you prosperity!
I have been to the restaurant 5 times and in most of them everything was fine: delicious food (I advise you to take Dungan noodles and samsa), pleasant service, interesting interior and just a gorgeous view of the mountains.
But last time I was dissatisfied with the service.
I have booked a restaurant for 21:30. My friends were delayed because they blocked the road (the restaurant staff said that this happens periodically). As a result, at 21:56, the waiter came up to me and said that they would stop taking orders in 4 (!) minutes. I called my friends and made an order for them. The waiter came over 10 minutes later and said they couldn't cook because the kitchen stopped taking orders.
And now a funny moment: the restaurant is open until 00:00
In the end, everything was cooked, but since I invited everyone to lunch at this restaurant and advertised it for a long time, I was dissatisfied.
A restaurant worth coming to Almaty for. Traditional cuisine in a modern interpretation, cool interior and super service.
The prices are above average, but it was worth it.
One of the colorful establishments of our city, with neo-nomadic cuisine. I consider it unique, as it is located on the mountainside in the Medeu tract. The view is gorgeous, the kitchen is simply bombastic. Of course, it is difficult to book right the day before, you need to take care in advance, as there are always a lot of people who want to eat in such an authentic restaurant.
Certainly one of the best restaurants in our city. There are always a lot of foreigners, and it is a real pride that our Kazakh cuisine, combined with the atmosphere of the Medeu tract, is in such demand. I definitely recommend you to visit. Be sure to try baursaks, samsa, pilaf and desserts!!! 10/10
Authentic, beautiful, delicious
Kazakh wine is wonderful
And the views are gorgeous
An iconic place to visit, explore the national cuisine performed by the chef
Total: the price is above average, but it is very clear why - everything is at the highest level
The best restaurant to understand the food culture in Kazakhstan. Incredibly tasty, the bone marrow is very properly and well made. The atmosphere and interior of the restaurant are well thought out, you can look at the details. The kitchen is on top!
Pretentious, beautiful, very tasty. All the recommended dishes by the waiter surprised and pleased. Prices are above average.
An open kitchen with a view from the hall. Different seating areas: large tables for 4-8 people, low tables with soft mats, a veranda outside, a veranda with swings.
We were satisfied with the food, a great place for tourists.
An incredibly beautiful place! And the kitchen is just a delight! There are nuances in the service (they forgot our reservation, walked for a long time, forgot about the dish) but honestly, such little things still did not overshadow how delicious and beautiful it was! I definitely advise everyone to visit!
Amazing food, delicious Kazakh cuisine, I highly recommend it. Mom came to visit from Russia and had never eaten horse meat, it was a great first experience for her.
A very beautiful place with a view of the mountains. The food is delicious, but greasy, especially the marrow bones. The staff is very pleasant, with in-depth knowledge of the menu.
This is a unique restaurant of neo-nomadic cuisine AUYL.
In the design of Auyl, natural materials peculiar to this area were used. The interior of AUYL is a kind of monument to decorative and applied creativity. Chairs, carpets and decorative ornaments are handmade by artisans. The products are processed in such a way as to age naturally, becoming covered with a patina of time.
The main idea of the menu is Central Asia from the time of the nomads. Most of the dishes are prepared on the basis of the three most important ingredients in this culture: water, flour and meat. Cooked over an open fire, in cauldrons, on the grill, in a tandoor, the food becomes incredibly delicious.
My colleagues recommended the restaurant. And it's worth your time: great view from the window, first-class service. It is felt that the staff not only knows, but also loves their work. And the serving, and the taste of the dishes! It's gorgeous
We celebrated our birthday in the yurt, it was very colorful and interesting, and Arthur spoke well and animatedly about the traditions and history of the dishes.
A very beautiful authentic restaurant. Almost all the interior items are either antique or made by local craftsmen - the staff can offer to take a tour of the restaurant and tell its story, which, by the way, is very interesting) Food, service, music - everything is very good. The guys have a special playlist too, the music was written for this place and along with the beats you can hear the sounds of nature: streams, birds, bleating sheep. In general, attention to detail is evident throughout)
The staff is professional. The service is excellent! The atmosphere of the place is rich and pleasant, as is the menu. Places need to be booked directly, otherwise you can stand in a queue for a long time. The food is normal and delicious. Drinks too. not to say that it's straight wow, but it's pretty good. The prices certainly seem high, but on the whole it is decent.
The staff, the location, the kitchen - everything is on top! But I advise you to book in advance, there are always a lot of people. The cuisine is national, but with notes of European cuisine. I liked all the dishes, they were very tasty
A stunningly authentic place for those who want to taste the national cuisine of Kazakhstan and have a good time. The dishes are very tasty and interesting. The service is attentive and comfortable, in addition to serving dishes, the waiter will tell you the history of the institution and conduct a tour. Gorgeous views of the mountains. Unlike many national establishments, there is a good selection of high-quality alcohol. The price tag is average +, but after Moscow establishments it seems adequate. I recommend this institution.
Gorgeous! A must-visit if you are going to see the mountains. Incredibly delicious cuisine, cool views, the staff is just lovely. Only book in advance. The fact that I went for luck and found a place for me is rather a pleasant exception than the rule.
I managed to visit such a beautiful restaurant. I'll say right away that I took away one star for the dishes. You'll see everything in the photo and understand for yourself. It's critical for me, that's why.
But in general, everything was great. It was beautifully decorated, the waiters tried and were smart.
My favorite place in Almaty. The kitchen is of high quality, the accommodation is comfortable!
We need to work on the breakfasts, especially if there is a restaurant!
The best restaurant I've been to in Almaty, and there are at least 10 of them. 5-star service. The food is 5 stars. The interior and atmosphere are 5 stars. Now, if I come with a guest who is in the city for the first time, I will definitely go there!
What can I write about a restaurant with a high international rating? It's extremely good and very authentic. I will be in Almaty again, and I will be happy to visit it again.
A very atmospheric restaurant! It amazes the imagination with the incredible tastes of the national cuisine. Bravo to the creator, the chefs, the waiters - to everyone involved in the creation of this incredible restaurant! I'm coming back again and again!
This is definitely the best institution in Almaty!
I want to say a huge thank you to the staff who called all the reservations for our family, and still found a place for us 💔
The food is very tasty, the serving is with a twist, and the interior is thought out to every detail. The wine list is excellent, there is plenty to choose from, the sommelier Denis helped with the choice.
Thank you very much for the existence of such a wonderful place!
A wonderful atmospheric place with very tasty dishes and unusual serving, beshbarmak special thanks, I tried it for the first time and it's a dump of the head how delicious, the desserts are mega delicious.
It can only be described in superlative form. The most excellent restaurant, everything is at the highest level- entourage, food, service! I highly recommend it to anyone who visits Medeo for the first time. It is better to book, especially in the evening. The sunsets are fantastic
