One of the best places I've ever visited in my life. I definitely advise, yes, I advise, this is a MUSTHAVE to visit!
A neat, cozy, warm and soulful place with responsive staff and gorgeous views.
I flew from Moscow for this place and did not regret it!
Here is the most delicious tartare that I have tried — be sure to take it, I did not even know that horsemeat could be so tender! And the pepper sauce and peppered lemon are immersed in a gastronomic orgasm!
Besh 1000/10! Horsemeat, horsemeat ham, kazy, lamb + delicious noodles and shurpa!
Bauyrsaki with balkaimak is simply the best dessert that you can think of!
Besides, there is a good wine list!
It was my birthday and I was also congratulated, complimentfully served a cake that was very tasty!
AUYL Restaurant:
I wish you prosperity and development! You will definitely be included in the list of restaurants by Michelin!
Special thanks to Danil! He was very kind, when serving beshbarmak, he told me where, how it was cooked, from what! I took care of the blankets and just liked them as a person!

Cozy atmosphere, delicious food, polite staff. For the first time I tried horse meat tartare with lemon and baked pepper. I recommend it! It's very tasty!!! Baursaks with a balkaimak are traditionally good!!! Horse cheeks with eggplant puree is the most delicate dish! Thanks to the waitress for the historical excursion and review of the restaurant! At the end of the review, I want to leave an enthusiastic review about lemonades! I've never tasted anything tastier in my life! We took two types. Both are incredibly delicious. One is called, I think, haymarket. Be sure to try it! You won't regret it!)

A wonderful restaurant, located on the outskirts of the city near Medeo, it's better to take a taxi, we were in the evening so we didn't see the mountains around, but my daughter, who now lives in Kazakhstan and advises us this restaurant, says it's very beautiful. It is very atmospheric inside, the entourage of the nomad yurt, there are two halls, one with chairs and the other with low tables and you have to sit on the floor with your shoes off, in good weather you can sit on the open veranda.You need to make an appointment in advance, because there are many people who want to visit this place. On the advice of my daughter, we ordered stewed lamb with potatoes - it just melts in my mouth, she says that stuffed peppers are very tasty. For dessert, we took chakchak (it's here with dried fruits)-much tastier than usual, and also dessert in the form of an apple (I don't remember the name), but it's just a Michelin dish both in taste and appearance. I strongly advise you to visit.

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.

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

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 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.

100% recommended visit!
Incredibly delicious food. Stunning mountain views, you will definitely not forget this place. a unique restaurant of neo-nomadic cuisine of Central Asia on the mountainside in the Medeo tract. The project itself is a collective image, the result of creative collaboration between architects and artists. An immersive space that exists at the junction of gastronomy and performance.

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.

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 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.

An authentic place. Delicious food. Breathtaking view and atmosphere. The best place in Almaty to meet with a business partner. You can sit on the veranda or inside at a table and even on the carpet. Feel the color and merge with the place.

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.

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!

If you are in Almaty, be sure to visit this place - the building itself, the surrounding landscape, interior, service, and, of course, the kitchen make up a stunningly harmonious ensemble that will not leave you indifferent. A very authentic, soulful and, at the same time, refined place.

I've been there twice already. That's saying something. The kitchen is good. There is not much space in the hall, but it does not bother much. It's good to sit in the company and have a delicious meal. The kitchen is positioned as an authentic nomad cuisine. But judging by what the waiters tell us (and each of them can take a tour of the restaurant), the original cuisine is quite stingy with products. Therefore, there is rather a modern interpretation here. But in fact, this is more of a plus than a minus.

It was very tasty, divinely delicious horse meat tartare
And the rest of the dishes are all very tasty, if you go on a weekend you need to book a table 😰the benefit is that we lived on the territory and tearfully begged for beds 🌝🤣in the trestle area

The staff is friendly. The feed is fast. I liked all the dishes. I took a beshbarmak, perfect. The leg of a young lamb was melting in the mouth and there was practically no specific smell. The terrier is very atmospheric, and the summer terrace has an amazing view of the mountains!

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.

The atmosphere is authentic, the staff is polite, but the food raises questions. Especially pilaf. Very greasy, not tasty. There is something to compare it with, because pilaf is prepared in many places in Almaty and it is much better at a much lower price.

I read the reviews, we went and did not regret it. The food is all delicious without exception. There is a wine list with local wines. I was a little confused that the recording was only through the app (I had to download it), since I couldn't get through on the phone. And also, the visit time is typically limited to 2 hours. We did it, but I wonder what it would be like? Would we have been kicked out?. And so it is very beautiful, very tasty and wonderful staff.

The best thing about this restaurant is its location. The kitchen level is the most ordinary. There is no special delight. Many dishes are prepared much better in other places. There is no barley draft beer.

You make a reservation, call them, there is zero response ... well, let's say so to ourselves and we haven't even arrived there yet ... I'm not sure what will happen on arrival
I corrected the rating! I want to say right away that the rating is low only because of the reservation service and the reception of the restaurant. There is a maximum of 2 * and that's a stretch! Lack of reservation and lack of parking, I don't know how to get to the restaurant, but if they book a table and places are limited, then you need to at least inform and answer the phone, well, book parking if you know that there are no places for cars either.
Everything else in the restaurant is fantastic!!! The first is the location, of course such a location is just iconic and it's 5* at once! The views are amazing, there is a swing outside! The air is wonderful 🤩 The restaurant itself and the interior also deserves its 5* - very beautiful, authentic and interesting. About everything it is built of and when you will also be told. In general, they will tell you about everything and about the details of the dish and where they come from, and help you put them on plates correctly - the service in the restrane is 5 * plus! And of course the food - yes, someone may not have the most delicious meat, the perfect starter or dessert or author's cocktails, but for those who love meat and in general the national cuisine comes in - it will be a gastronomic paradise for 5 *.
In general, I recommend that you definitely go to this restaurant and enjoy the cool cuisine, view and service ... ... well, of course, provided that you can confirm registration and that you do not have to park somewhere unknown 😅
Good luck to everyone! Have a great mood! Have delicious memories and positive emotions!

An incredibly atmospheric restaurant.
At the entrance, you are greeted by friendly girls, if everything is busy in the restaurant, you may be offered to sit in a small waiting area, a table with various national treats, tea is brought, I have never seen this anywhere, it is so cozy.
The restaurant itself is very large, we sat down at the bar. A very open and cool young man worked behind the bar, he told us about each dish, about the concept of the restaurant and attributes. It's like a mini tour.
The food is very tasty, the drinks too.
I advise you to try beshbarmak right here!

If you look for the flavor of the local culture, then only here. A restaurant with an incredible interior and atmosphere and stunning mountain views.
The food is delicious, and the portions are more than large.
I was here at the end of the summer, maybe something has changed, but I really want to draw attention to the fact that it would be great to fix the carpets on the floor so as not to stumble over them. We also need to make more menus so that when boarding in 40% of the hall you don't hear "oh, but we've run out of menus, there are a lot of people, you'll have to wait," but these are all small things)
