A very interesting place with a slightly romantic aura. It was a weekday, despite this, the hall was full.
Wine connoisseurs will appreciate this place, and I appreciated the delicious steaks. We were served by a young man named Bakhtiar, the boy turned out to have a good sense of humor and guided us very well on the menu. They took exactly what they needed. We were satisfied with the visit. Girls in the ladies' room, be sure to click on the red button, a good mood is guaranteed😉
A great place with delicious steaks and an enchanting wine list. The steaks are delicious - the meat is good, the roasting is exactly what you order, the sauces and side dishes are also on top. We ordered steaks made from aged meat, porcini mushroom sauces, baby potatoes with peaches and oyster mushrooms as side dishes. Georgian dry red wine was taken. And a meringue dessert. I liked everything very much, the delivery time is very fast, considering that the boarding in the hall was almost complete. The staff is polite and helpful, they notice when a glass of wine is empty, they will come and fill it with wine. The interior is pleasant, especially the door handles in the form of axes stuck in the door were amused. The place is far from the cheapest, but definitely worth a visit. I recommend it!

[THE REVIEW IS NOT FOR STEAKS]
I will immediately note the good service. During the stay in the restaurant, there were some moments of misunderstanding, but all of them were not the fault of the staff and were competently and politely resolved.
According to reviews, this is almost one of the best restaurants in Almaty. Moreover, it is a meat restaurant: steaks, meat/poultry, wine. The interior is decent, there is a veranda. The choice is made, we come and study the menu. And it's very strange.
The choice of meat dishes is small (which is even good!) and it includes very specific combinations. I was expecting something delicious, but how do you like a meat patty with mashed potatoes and kimchi? And how much do ordinary green peas need parmesan? What is really needed is either to display the ingredients in the name of the dish, or in its description. Because by default, I don't imagine a cutlet with cheddar cheese INSIDE. Firstly, if this is not a good idea, then putting cheese inside a minced meat product and passing it off as a restaurant dish is doubtful (blank, semi-finished product). Secondly, it is necessary to take into account local peculiarities: in Kazakhstan you will not find just a well-cooked steak. Either there is no such dish on the menu, or this "steak" is another kind of cutlet. Another feature of the local cuisine is the over-salting of meat dishes. I have already visited more than one restaurant in the Republic of Kazakhstan, both with an expensive check and with an average one. But in each of them, the meat was either on the verge or over-salted. In this case, the cutlet also turned out to be over-salted, which is enhanced by the cheese inside. And it is also very fatty, but this, again, is a local feature of ground beef. Kimchi, by the way, is good: spicy, blood boils.
And what do you imagine under veal cheeks in demiglas sauce? I think it's definitely not beef stew. But apparently these cheeks were languishing all the same time that the sauce was being prepared; as a result, the cheeks do not melt in the mouth, but disintegrate along the fibers. And yes, parmesan should be grated directly when serving the dish, and not bring it with already grated cheese. In general, this is all really strange: meat is sold on every corner in Kazakhstan, but by and large there does not seem to be a culture of cooking it yet.
This one of the best restaurants in Almaty does not seem to have its own toilet. Beefeater shares it with the cafe next door. Therefore, to get to the toilet, you need to leave the door with a handle in the form of a butcher's axe and enter the door, decorated like a loft, with an alien. It's just darkness inside in the truest sense of the word. Lighting is zero point three (small, LED): the walls are dark, the washbasin is dark, not a thing is visible. Thanks for at least not on motion sensors...
In general, it is expensive, but mediocre. Maybe it's different with steaks. Unfortunately, there was no way to evaluate the bar card. Not really for teas: either the standard, or the same strange combinations.
Delicious dishes (steaks are just great), pleasant atmosphere and good service!
The prices against the background of such establishments are too high, but if this does not bother, then I can recommend you to visit!
The service is great. The wine is decent. The meat is super. We took different steaks, cooked clearly. At first glance, it's not just super super, visually (this is if you are from Moscow and are used to steakhouses), it's normal and decent. And yet - oyster mushrooms in sour cream were also on top.
Dostyk is definitely better than Nazarbayev. Good service, high-quality cuisine, decent wine list. In addition to the steaks, which everyone likes, the salads are not bad, some for company. We really love a hot snack - baked marrow bones, also for the company. The best bonus program ever that works through the app.
The account for 5 people came out 125k tenge
Steaks out of 4 were fried 1
The cost of food does not correspond to reality.
I added 10% of the service to the bill - although the waiter was rude, called the wrong cooking time and generally asked to be called less often "because I don't want to go back and forth"
, I would like to talk with the restaurant manager and pay attention to the details of this institution
Excellent serving of dishes, delicious branded meat Roasted Bone Marrow, there is no such thing anywhere in the city. Excellent wine selection, attentive staff. The only thing that is very uncomfortable is the intense heat from the furnaces, ventilation can not cope. Compensated, of course, by excellent service) but there is a reason to get even better)
Good meat cuisine, attentive staff, prices are too high, you need to keep an eye on the receipt. The atmosphere is there, you can have dinner with friends.
A great place, we went on the advice of friends, especially to try the horse meat steak, which fully met expectations - tender, juicy and at the same time the price is pleasant! I recommend it to everyone!
I'll put 5, but there is a caveat. ) The choice of wine and wine dishes is excellent. Wine prices are optimal. Meat is probably almost everything that can be found on the market (I did not find anywhere in the city a true angus of high marbling prime - tell me if anything).
Now a nuance. At the very least, the beef ribs were dry, there was a lot of fat and the sauce next to it did not solve anything. However, they apologized and said that the dish would be removed for now. Respect and rahmet.)
Excellent menu, I tried such a baked one from a special menu - I liked it. And of course the marrow bones, as always delicious.
The service is excellent.
The only drawback is that they only work until one o'clock in the morning.
It's delicious, and everything. Well, it's not very cheap, but it's worth it. The meat is just very good, the name justifies it. The service is at its best, in the afternoon, in the evening, and under closure
Delicious food, not without flaws. A large selection of wines. Excellent staff. It makes sense to make a portion of horse heart a third less. Mango cheesecake is big and dry. And please think about the restrooms, the restaurant has a shared bathroom with a burger joint - a dubious idea. The bathroom renovation is disgusting, why is there a mirror in front of the toilet? To look at your own genitals? Good cuisine and trained staff require an appropriate environment in order not to turn into a mediocre place. + it makes sense to increase the distance between the tables, the etiquette of the guests (or rather its absence) can spoil a visit to the institution.
Great place!
Pleasant modern interior
Excellent service
A good wine list
Impressed by the local wines
Delicious meat and a good choice
In general, everything you need to spend a good evening with friends!
It looks like a pleasant place, but the food leaves much to be desired.
I ordered onion soup, in which there was almost no broth, I had to eat boiled onions in fact
Then I ordered a medium rare T-bone roast steak, but they brought me almost a well done steak. I pointed out to the waiter that the steak was overcooked, and the waiter did not even offer to redo the steak.. I am disappointed with this - you order a steak for 12,000 tenge, but it was cooked incorrectly for you.
The most annoying thing is that I still have to pay 1200 for the service..
Delicious!
The service is fast and without jambs.
Except for the hostess, who initially said that there are no tables for more than 4 people.
An excellent loyalty program.
A good selection of wines
The service is well-groomed, but the kitchen is a little weak (prices are above average for steaks, maybe everything is great there?)
A very good wine list and there are takeaway prices
No frills, but delicious. The serving of the dishes, those that we ordered, for a solid four! The meat is delicious, but not all menu items are always available. I removed the star only for the absence of some positions on the day of our visit. Will I come again? Yes, definitely!
P.S.: I would add a couple of beers.
In principle, the place is good. Delicious food, a good selection of wine. BUT the price tag bites. There are places where the food is definitely not worse, and the price tag is much better.
We were about a month ago, we couldn't get our hands to write, we tried hummus, green salad, tartar and Steak.
Red wine 4 Glasses.
I leave an honest review. Hummus is like soup, it's terrible. Green salad approx. Tar-tar is filled with balsamic vinegar, sourness. Steak for 3-. They didn't get into the frying pan. The service is also lame. They asked to serve a green salad with the steak, they brought it right away. Attention 80,000₸, 160$, for 2 persons. It's just a complete rip-off for such food.
I've been there once, I must say the prices are not small, BUT the steaks are gorgeous and worth the money, the wine in the assortment is good, the service is good, the atmosphere is pleasant, in general it's better to visit personally than to believe the writing.
The place is simply magical!!! Very high quality service. Stylish interior and great food. Own baking. There are a lot of non-trivial dishes on the menu. A good selection of craft beers and an excellent wine library. Of the disadvantages, there is not a very large selection of strong alcohol and too delicious food, it is impossible to refuse dessert :).
PS. On significant dates for regular guests, the institution gives pleasant and interesting gifts at its discretion, but it is always something not quite ordinary. I recommend you to visit.
A very pleasant place for evening gatherings! Steaks - couldn't be better! The staff are people of their business! A wine room with fantastic contents!
It's a great place! The horse meat steak is outstanding. I also liked the rest of what I tried, snacks, spreadings and even bone marrow (for example, I didn't like it at all in Sandyk). A very good selection of wine, there are interesting and well-worn options. Moreover, the wine prices are almost shop-bought, it is very humane for a restaurant. The service is great.
Steak from the heart of a horse is a top!
The service is prompt, but unobtrusive, the atmosphere is modern, you will not be scolded for a fallen fork. Cocktails are too diluted with water.
Oh, yes! One of the best . I won't get tired of praising them. Everything is fine there - the atmosphere, the cuisine, the service. Incredible wine list, incredibly delicious food. It's expensive and worth it. All foreign friends, partners and colleagues must go there! Yes, and book a table in advance, these guys always have a full seat :)
It's delicious , the portions are large, the waiters are excellent, the prices on the menu are excellent ! They brought a compliment from the institution and received a glass of sparkling wine as a gift when registering the application 😀👌🏼 I definitely recommend this place!
The place is great, I visited it a couple of times and left in a great mood. I recommend this place for dating, your lady will stay in heaven, the waiters are virtuosos and know their business.
The cafe is European-style, but the prices are somewhat overpriced relative to the quality.
I tried the Almaty steak, I didn't finish it, it was very greasy.
Grilled vegetables are delicious.
Not a bad wine list.
