Basilic is a great place for a delicious and satisfying lunch! Everything I tried was very tasty and fresh. There is a large selection of dishes, from national cuisine to European, and the prices are quite affordable. I especially liked the ham with cheese and desserts – just delicious! The staff is polite and the service is fast. The atmosphere is cozy, and the place is clean and pleasant. I will definitely come back and recommend it to everyone who wants to eat well in Almaty!
It's a good place.
Pleasant atmosphere.
The service is good.
The staff is polite.
You can eat, sit with friends.
Prices are above average.
The kitchen is quite decent.
There may be problems with parking.
In a word, I recommend it to everyone!!!
Great cafe. A wide variety of dishes. The food is delicious. The room is cozy, clean, quiet music is playing. It's nice to eat, you can hold a meeting and relax or work with a laptop, There are several TV screens.
It's a very cool restaurant, I went here back in 2021, and everything is also excellent. The atmosphere is great, the food is divine, the staff is more elegant than elegant, beef stroganoff in white sauce tastes better than delicious. In general, paradise.
A very cozy and atmospheric place! Polite waiters, very tasty cuisine, reasonable prices. I also really like bakery products from the workshop "Today", they are sold at the checkout, next to the exit.
Only great impressions. They cook quickly and deliciously. It's clean, the staff are all neat. You can eat on the spot in a cafe or order a takeaway. And what is especially pleasant is the very humane prices. Respect to all
Cafe Basil is a good place, but with its own peculiarities. The prices are affordable, the choice of dishes is wide, there are enough places. However, due to the large number of visitors, it can be noisy, and the staff is not always attentive. The setting is more like a dining room, but the food is delicious and the portions are good. In general, you can have an inexpensive and satisfying meal here.
I have been visiting the Basilica since its opening.
The perfect balance of delicious food and prices.
Pleasant interior, delicious food, a large selection on the menu, a lot of waiters, no foreign smells.
It is possible to place an order online at the institution itself and not wait for the waiter to accept the order.
I am writing a review on 11/30/2024
The food is of good quality, without frills, the cuisine is at least rich, but! When ordering some dishes, the answer is: no, we don't cook it... I don't understand why these dishes are on the menu then. The shish kebab was dried, barely chewed. The mashed potatoes are slightly warm, like all other dishes. The potato gratin was absolutely cold, so I had to ask for it to be warmed up. The service is fast. The staff works quickly. Everything arrived quickly. Apparently, the dishes are prepared in advance and with reserves, since the establishment is more like a dining room, but not a cafe. Summarizing all this, we can say that this is still a dining room, not a bad one, but a dining room. For the citizens themselves, but not for tourists. So I recommend that tourists avoid this place, do not be fooled by the high ratings in the reviews. Yes, by the way, and the interior of the dining room, but not the cafe.
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).
There is no doubt that the chefs cook in this " Basilica " well .
That 's why there are a lot of people there , and there 's nowhere to fall at lunchtime .
But as they say : there is a fly in the ointment in every barrel .
There is one nuance that has forever discouraged me from even entering this institution.
My good friend worked there and knows everything from the inside.
It turns out that the guest dishes are not washed at all, including glasses and appliances.
It 's just that the dishwashers throw poorly cleaned dishes into the dishwasher and there it turns .
If you haven't washed well, they can scroll through it again and again, if necessary.
The water in the dishwasher does not change for days , as the establishment is open 24/7 .
The Korean owner probably knows everything, but turns a blind eye to it: he doesn't care about anything except the cash register.
If the people who eat there often knew about it , then a good part of them would definitely stop going there and would do the right thing .
As always, delicious and varied dishes at good prices. It's cozy inside. The waiters are great. Thanks to the whole team of this institution! Prosperity and growth to you!
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.
It's delicious and cheap here. It works 24/7. The desserts are delicious: napoleon, meringue roll. Gum is delicious with sauce. There are breakfasts. One of the disadvantages is the noise and the smell of food in the hall. You can buy frozen dumplings and dumplings at home.
A good cafe .There are a lot of people . sometimes there are no places.Then we'll take it to the takeaway.but I like the Student's Basil on Kirov more.Mostly students and there are few people in the afternoon.
Basil!! Delicious, valuable, cozy and fast!!! If you were in the area with your child, you should definitely come in and eat, because for a child there is an ideal choice of food, and for an adult it is delicious!
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
There are very good cafes, but on weekends there are a lot of people in the evening, there is no place to park and few places to sit.But also fast service, not expensive dishes.And most importantly, it's beautiful and cozy.
We had dinner at this place once. The organization of the production process here is felt to be high. The quality of the dishes matches the price. I remember the waiter girl for her politeness. And when we forgot the item we came with on the table.(it doesn't matter which one) this girl, despite the cold, ran outside after us and gave us the forgotten thing. Thanks to both her and the establishment, where a good level of service is maintained!
(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.
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 always delicious and not expensive. Quickly.
You can eat on the spot (two floors of the food court)
Or you can order with yourself or for delivery.
A big plus is that they work around the clock
Everything is very tasty. The service is good. The interior is comfortably clean. The prices are reasonable. You can even say below average. The staff is good. In general, everything is at the highest level. There is always Parking, in any case, I often come and do not stay without places
A quick snack, the perfect place. It must be admitted that a large flow of people leads to the work of the cafe, to the difficulties of the staff. Many novice waiters often forget the positions in the order. A wide range of dishes and affordable prices
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.
The staff is polite, the atmosphere is comfortable, the waiting time is relatively fast, the food exceeds expectations, the price is reasonable. I recommend
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 cafe, cozy, not expensive, and very tasty.... I advise those who haven't been here yet. Be sure to leave a comment and like sincerely Alexander))))
Not just an ordinary dining room and with pleasant prices.
But now I'm sitting here, and at first I was waiting for the waiter. Later, I ate, another waiter used my table as a stand for detergents or trays, and once poured tea. I suspect I'll have to look for a waiter for a long time to get the bill. And then they will ask for 10 percent for the service, which I am not satisfied with
It's a great place, very tasty. The prices are adequate. There is always something to please customers, new items are always added to the menu. Everything is at the highest level
Amazing service: courteous staff, delicious food, low price tag; if the waiters are busy, you can order yourself using the QR code on the table. Recommend 👍
I love Basil. For affordable prices, interesting interior, QR codes on the tables "don't wait for the waiter, cleanliness. Excellent choice of food, excellent variety of assortment. I noticed that the staff is mostly young guys, so far they lack a little polish in service, but this does not affect my rating and asterisks. Sometimes I don't understand people (especially the female sex) who yell at the waiter for the whole room that there is no order for a long time, that everything is cold or something else. The poor youngsters themselves listen to this non-stop and just keep silent. Girls, people, be kinder, because not everyone immediately becomes a specialist in their field, let them study and earn, the main thing is not to loaf around and do not do forbidden things. I was here 2 times and made orders via qr on the tables and within 10 minutes they were brought, although the order indicated 30-40 minutes for cooking, everything was politely served and the food was hot, and the drinks were cool, and everything was clean. Good luck to everyone. Good luck and prosperity.
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.
Our favorite cafe. Since 2018, we have been coming here regularly and ordering homemade food, we really like everything. Delicious food at an affordable price.
There are no disadvantages.
Pros a great coffee shop, everything is delicious and satisfying, the toilets are clean, cozy, comfortable. There is a parking lot
A large menu. Friendly staff. Low prices are not at the expense of the quality of the dishes. Wonderful serving and serving. Delicious coffee. I liked.
A simple dining room. The usual food. BUT YOU CAN ORDER EVERYTHING ONLINE, WITHOUT THE SHOUTING AND URGING OF THE WAITERS. They're closing the second floor for some reason, where it's cozy and spacious. They only want to serve on the ground floor in the evenings.
The food is very tasty, I am a regular customer, many thanks to the waiters and chefs, everything is very tasty. Especially thanks to Gulzhain's waitress, she brought us food on time and welcomed us well, I liked the side dish. Well done Gulzhaina, thank you so much❤
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.
Delicious and fast. The main thing is not to get into rush hour. The waiters do not have time to serve, they used to wait for 15 minutes to give an order. But there is a plus - the ability to order from the online menu.
The cuisine is very tasty and varied.
A great place with round-the-clock operation. Lots of seats, a varied menu, very fast, friendly service and delicious food. Clean, modern interior. The prices are also very nice. I heartily recommend it!
The cuisine is delicious, the prices are also good. The service was long and unhappy, but probably because they came to full board and kipish, but you can still have a little more fun and with a simpler face)) It was also very stuffy, it would be cool if the ventilation/ hoods/air conditioners worked harder
Almost all the food on the menu is available.
The staff is very sluggish.
The furniture is in average condition.
Parking is not convenient.
They limit the seating of guests with a ribbon-I really didn't like it. They forced a man on crutches to go up to the second floor.
Delicious fast, sometimes orders are partially forgotten. But this is explained by the large flow. And considering all the factors, this is acceptable. You can have a budget meal from the heart.
