Positive:
1) democratic prices
2) a wide range of products
3) Lots of seating
Minuses:
1) due to the large number of people, it becomes too noisy
2) due to the workload, the staff for the most part does not care about visitors
3) not a very atmospheric place, it feels like an ordinary dining room (although it is formally written that this is a restaurant)
Overall, the impression is rather good. At low prices, you can try a very large number of different dishes, the quality of each of which is at an acceptable level. Due to the fact that there are a lot of people in the hall, the staff does not have time to serve everyone properly (for example, our waiter did not specify our order and as a result, they did not bring us everything we wanted), there are not enough appliances on many tables.
In general, low prices + a wide range + the atmosphere of the dining room = cafe Basil.

We were in Almaty for a week, recently returned, almost always ate in the basilica, because it was delicious, fresh products, affordable. Lamb kebab is not very good for me, it's too much fat for me and the meat is hard to chew, but men will like it, but the cradle is quite tasty. Borscht is super, meat from the heart, tortillas are delicious, rolls are excellent, Kazakh tea is awesome, milk is not spared, our real tea; salad under a fur coat is normal, Olivier is also not bad, dumplings with potatoes are delicious, mantas were too hard for me and my daughters to chew, desserts are fresh (we tried honey cake, Snickers and meringue roll, it's awesome). Anyway, thanks a lot. Last year we were also satisfied. It is not surprising that the overall score is five, it is deserved. (But this, of course, is not a restaurant, it is a cafe-dining room).

A very large selection of dishes. Everything is very tasty. There are dishes from local cuisine, European cuisine. Large seasonal menu
It works around the clock. There are a lot of dogs, they bring food quickly. The most optimal location in the city. It is optimal for the opportunity to eat quickly, tasty and inexpensively

A great place to have a delicious lunch. I really liked the autumn salad. All the dishes of the national cuisine are on top. There are always parking spaces. It's a pity that it's far from home. It would be good if there were more dots.

It's delicious, the choice is good, the prices are affordable, the only thing is, it's very noisy and there are always a lot of people, the place is good, although you can't go up to the second floor with a stroller, but the place is good, there is delivery, our wand is a lifesaver, when guests suddenly come, for example, you can order and bring it quickly, thank you.

Very tasty food, my top: rustic breakfast, solyanka, Asian rice, any kebab, carrot cake
They cook quickly, the staff is pleasant, solves issues quickly
During the loaded hours, you can not wait for the waiter and order through the application, there are also pictures for some dishes, but there is no composition of dishes, it is only in the paper menu
I'm going back to Moscow soon, I can't even imagine how I'll be there without the Basilica
The main disadvantage of the institution for me: naturally there is not a single comfortable seat for a person with a height of 185+
More or less those chairs with a transparent black back; also pay attention to the tables, some have a crossbar where the legs simply do not fit

Good evening. We came to have dinner, we visit sometimes, and lately it's been very noticeable how the place is spoiling. Everything is fine in the kitchen, but here is the service... You can't wait for the waiter, even if they are standing at their counter, they don't look into the hall... They are simply attached to each other... We ordered two dishes and a pot of tea, and one dish was brought... Does tea also need to be cooked for 15-20 minutes? You won't get tea... In general, dear management... You urgently need to decide what to do with the service.. otherwise, it will affect your revenue very strongly and quickly ...
Good luck!

A cool place that is perfect for both breakfast and dinner. The food here is always delicious, not to say expensive.
It's also pretty cozy inside, although when the crowd gathers, it gets a little noisy.
We tried ordering online - in principle, the application works well.

The main advantage of these establishments is always fresh and delicious food, in 95% of cases they are prepared specifically to order. The exceptions are various soups, pilaf, manti, etc. The
main disadvantage (for which -1 *) this is a service. During rush hours, when there are a lot of visitors, the waiters do not have time to clear the tables and wait for the order to be accepted for 20-30 minutes. There are QR codes on the tables for self-ordering, but often the application does not work and such an order takes longer to prepare.
Otherwise, everything is fine, the interior was recently updated, the atmosphere is nice and cozy, but it is quite noisy.

Spacious halls. You can always find a place.
I often do. I like oriental cuisine. Chebureks are gorgeous from the heat.
Parking is difficult, sometimes you have to park your car nearby.

It doesn't matter if you are a student or an already successful high-income professional - in the Basilica you can quickly and deliciously satisfy your hunger without problems 24/7.
A clear huge menu (a digital version with photos is also available), fast service and very affordable prices - such a format simply has to become national.

Люблю Базилик. За демократичные цены, интересный интерьер, qr-коды на столах "не жди официанта, чистоту. Отличный выбор еды, отличное разнообразие ассортимента. Заметила, что в персонале в основном молодые парни, пока им не хватает немного лоска в обслуживании, но это не влияет на мою оценку и звездочки. Иногда не понимаю людей (особенно женский пол), которые на весь зал орут на официанта, что долго нет заказа, что все остывшее или ещё что-то. Бедные молодняки сами в режиме нон-стоп ещё и такое выслушивают и просто молчат. Девочки, люди, будьте добрее, ведь не все сразу становятся спецом своего дела, пусть учатся и зарабатывают, главное не бездельничают и не занимаются запретными делами. Была здесь 2 раза и делала заказы через qr на столах и в течение 10 мин приносили, хотя в заказе указывали 30-40 мин на готовку, вежливо все подавали и еда горячая, и напитки прохладные, и все чисто. Всем добра. Удачи и процветания.

A great place to have a quick lunch. It's delicious, the prices are adequate. The only nuances in the service. If the order is not accepted for a relatively long time, then you need to call the waiters 5 times to pay.

It's very crowded, but it's understandable. Just the best olivier salad. Almost like mom's))))) in general, the food is good, the service is fast. Good price/quality ratio, so the place is too popular, there is always noise, hubbub, fuss.

The basilica is the top place in the city. You can have a very tasty and cheap meal here. Price/quality. The interior is cozy and pleasant. The waiters are polite, they bring everything quickly. It's a pity there are only two basilicas in the city, I would like more. I highly recommend this place, you will be satisfied anyway.

(01/25/2024) An excellent cafe with low prices, an electronic menu and a large selection of dishes. But, the temperature and the expectation of the dishes depends on the number of people and the time. It happens that everything is cold and there is no taste of food.

There is a lot of money for 10% service for this institution! This is not a restaurant after all where you are under the close attention of a waiter. On the contrary, they take orders here when you call them 3-4 times! After the food is brought, it is not possible to reach them at all, and in the end you go to the cashier yourself and pay at the expense of the cashier, who has a face like a cashier of a municipal institution.

We used to go there quite often, at some point it was very cozy, tasty and pleasant. Then apparently the owners changed, the cook, now a simple canteen, the Basil completely deteriorated, and everything started so well

The kitchen is average, 7 points out of 10, the service wants the best, at the bottom of the entrance on the right in the buffet, try not to buy anything with you, everything is overdue, a day or two ago, the child's friends were a little worried, they noticed the smell in time, returned the food-returned the money, so be careful in the "Basil" ("the royal fragrant grass") Don't catch the poison❗️🥴

A cafe that looks more like a dining room. The 2 floors are completely filled with a large number of tables with chairs.
There are usually a lot of people.
A place where you can have a snack. But not to sit in a cozy and intimate atmosphere.
The menu is varied.
There are all kinds of first and second courses. Salads. Different side dishes.
Delicious desserts. Coffee, tea.
Usually everything is hot and delicious. The portions are medium. Not small, not big. Normal ones.
Service.
It takes quite a long time to wait for the waiter. It was 15 minutes and 20 minutes.
After he has accepted the order, the dishes arrive quite quickly. And all at once.
You don't have to contact the waiter, but order everything yourself through the app.
The cafe has a home delivery service.
It works 24/7.

Good cuisine, I like that they try to cook "at home". Nice prices, very reasonable. The only negative reason why the family began to visit less is a long service. However, recently we were there, and we were able to make an order on our own through the qr code on the table, pay immediately through Caspi and all this without the participation of a waiter, cool! The waiter just brought us ready-made dishes) Great, they came up with it

An ordinary dining room . The dishes of the average level are not good, not bad . The room is always clean, which is a big plus for the establishment. I intentionally do not visit this institution only if I find myself nearby.

I constantly order basil food, it is always very tasty cooked. The only drawback is their cooking after 2 p.m., the ingredients for salads are not always well washed and cleaned, what is fried has a taste of overripe oil. Therefore, if you need fresh, it is better to order in advance.

Maybe I'm not lucky with this place, I've gone many times, but it doesn't taste good there. It seems that the menu is being updated. The last time I ordered chicken in honey-soy sauce, the chicken is so dry that it is impossible to cut it with a knife. Then a crowd of waiters runs around, but no one approaches the customers. You have to wait a long time and bring the remaining dish.
