I am writing from the point of view of a tourist. Another iconic restaurant that is a must-visit. The chic interiors and rich decoration seem to hint at the amount of the check, but strangely enough, you can eat and drink here quite on a budget (and not on a budget, too). The dishes are large and good. The kitchen did not surprise (like Krasnoyarsk), but left a pleasant impression. I really liked the staff (not an example of another iconic rotating place) - excellent knowledge of the menu without any peeping - without changing the graceful counter, the waiter will tell you everything about any dish and the composition and combinations and drinks. We were a big group, everyone appreciated it. We quickly accepted the order and served everything quite quickly, there was no feeling of "well, where are you already there?", despite the number of people. It's not a problem to make separate accounts. There's nothing to take off the star for. I will be in Astana - I will definitely come back.

We came to this restaurant at the invitation of friends from Astana. The luxurious interior with a national twist, live pleasant music create the atmosphere of an oriental fairy tale. The work of the waiters is impeccable - they arranged a food theater for us with a story about each dish. Prices for the bar and cuisine are higher than other popular restaurants in Astana, but privacy and attitude to guests are captivating. We had a pleasant evening at QUAZAQ, thank you 🙏

Probably the best restaurant of the national Kazakh cuisine. Very beautiful original interior, excellent service. Great food. One of the disadvantages is that there is little parking space next to the institution.

Koumiss is probably the best of those that I drank in the city! There is also a surprise for fans of distillates, the kitchen with the author's reading was also pleased. The prices, of course, are not the most humane - but what can you do?..

This is a fusion of Kazakh cuisine with elements of haute cuisine, but I'll be honest with you. For 10 days, Astana has been the most unimpressive place so far. We definitely expected more. Of the advantages, the friendly and attentive staff, but the kitchen is far from high, just ordinary dishes in a reduced size. I do not mind the high price tag, but only when it is justified, unfortunately, it is not here. It's not enough to decorate a dish with micro greenery to be called haute cuisine and double the price tag)))

That's cool! It's not a shame to bring your family and foreign guests together. The average check, however, cost 25-30 thousand without alcohol. I understand - portions, etc.
However, portions need to be slightly increased. Presenting as a national cuisine, it should be understood that our ancestors ate healthily and with a healthy appetite. The pricing policy could also be revised. The booth in the photo is furnished too richly and therefore looks pretentious

09.04.24 visit. The staff is friendly, very attentive to each table. 2 shubat soups, these Cossack horsemeat with truffle border, Shymkent mutton of 4 steppes, mors. All the dishes correspond to the photos on the website, the soup is delicious (even for a person who does not like dairy, it made an impression and positive emotions), the second dishes and the drink also command respect for the cook. The price tag is high compared to the nearest places, but this is a RESTAURANT, not a cafe, and worthy of visiting both tourists and locals, for those who appreciate hospitality, national dishes, combined with serving. Very positive emotions after the visit.

Dishes with soul, intricate, interesting presentation, high-quality ingredients. Very pleasant live music, well-designed interior.
Really high Kazakh cuisine is for gourmets who enjoy both eyes and stomach.
Sour cream mixed with honey to a flatbread is divine

A great place for a one-time visit.
A good example of creating a new attraction.
To add organizational moments to this (which Kazakhs always lack), tighten the moment of maintaining the condition of the object (correct scuffs and defects in the operation process, organize a waiting queue for the elevator with special fences) + increase the exposure size (use lower floors} and it would be exactly 5!

A restaurant of high Kazakh cuisine with decent service. It is atmospheric, cozy, and hospitable in Kazakh. The ability to convey the national taste of the steppe, setting off its modern preferences of society, deserves respect for the great work of Artyom Kanzev and his equally professional team.
A restaurant where you want to invite foreign guests and introduce our culture to a live performance of dombra…

Ordered:
- Smoked tongue of the Altai maral with babaganush and barley milk.
- Terrine of baked vegetables with warm omyrtka fillet.
- Young lamb loin with garden pea puree and Zhusan sauce.
- Cherry sorbet with lime and coconut.
The restaurant is 5 stars, but there are wishes:
- do not take out hot dishes at the same time as cold ones, they also cool down.
- stains on the tablecloth are, of course, not the level…

We arrived at the restaurant as a family, after a city tour, at lunchtime.
1. Good location, with beautiful and stylish decoration inside.
2. Attentive and friendly staff.
3. The menu is not overblown, convenient (there are photos of dishes), for people with different preferences. Even if something is not clear, the cute waiter will explain everything.
4. Delicious complement from the chef.
5. Fast serving of drinks and dishes.
6. Based on the dishes we have chosen, there is a national flavor in the food, but using new technologies, with an unusual and beautiful presentation.
7. Great taste... the team obviously did their best, our taste buds sang with pleasure! The restaurant clearly draws on a Michelin star!!!
I definitely recommend it for a visit!
I wish you all good luck, peace and kindness!

It is interesting to immerse yourself in the peculiarities of local culture. All items and free treats can be accompanied by details.

It was curious what high Kazakh cuisine is. Amazingly delicious food! Serving really corresponds to the title of "haute cuisine"
Salad "Terrine of baked vegetables with warm fillet of omyrtka" I recommend! The terrine turned out to be in a dense jelly and it was super! Omyrtka is horsemeat, the cervical region, if I'm not mistaken.
The square of the young lamb was also unrealistically good!
The interior, to be honest. Raises questions... too eclectic. But the food and excellent service outweigh!
Bravo!

Already at the exit, while waiting for the car, he ran into the kitchen and brought stacks of koumiss and camel milk! It's so nice! Thanks! A very warm memory! Greetings from Moscow!

The interior is beautiful and richly decorated. The menu is varied and expensive. The food seemed delicious, but without a "soul", without a zest.
I liked shubat and archi.
I will recommend this place as a place to surprise a foreigner, but so far no more, although I will note that the locals were there too. I won't come a second time myself.
The service also left a different impression: at first I met a guy, and either he was very busy, or he just didn't try very hard at the end of the day, so he left us alone with the menu for a long time. Then he was replaced by a very diligent and friendly girl who helped with the selection and told everything.

Kazakh covers of various famous songs, such as “Let it be”, were played on domra in my presence. The waiters are very courteous. There is free Wi-Fi. It is better to book seats in advance, if you just come – there may not be places.

We were in Kazakhstan and Astana for the first time, we went on the recommendation of taxi drivers, the restaurant left an unpleasant impression that in terms of food, service, they position themselves as haute cuisine, in fact the same food that is prepared in other cheap cafes is well 5 times more expensive, if you go with the children, it's not worth it, they don't really do it they love, the restaurant is mainly for hogs who come to cough up questions, I have two little ones, they wanted to touch different Kazakh national hats, etc., the waitress constantly drove them away together with the director, who ordered her to do this and did not allow her, although it was written that you can take a picture, the waiters also constantly look, drinks are kept in another they constantly slow down to pour them, ate beshbarmak mantas, then meat with four sauces and salads , the bill came out 56,000 tenge, plus they did not warn us and included 10% on top of the bill for discount-free service, in short it is better to go to other places where it is cheaper and more pleasant to be

Excellent, varied food. Interesting dishes and variations at the junction of Kazakh and European cuisines. The word "high" is well-deserved for the cuisine in this institution. Pleasant live music: famous world hits on domra. The waiters are very friendly and helpful: my friend and I sampled many different dishes and asked them to divide each one in half for us. I advise you to try homemade vodka from koumiss - there are very few places in Kazakhstan and Astana in particular where it is available at all.
