The restaurant is very cozy. The warm welcome of Virgos immediately lifted my spirits. Kazakh national values are preserved here, and the taste of the dishes is indescribable – the meat melts in your mouth and you feel the pleasure of real traditional cuisine. Old Kazakh folk songs touched the heart and gave a special atmosphere. It is worth noting that the main thing is not to overdo it. Thank you for respecting and preserving the national culture!😍🌼✨
It was a discovery in the kitchen. Incredibly delicious! The price tag is above average, but it's worth it! A huge portion of salad. A very satisfying main course. While the order is being prepared, you will be offered a guided tour of the restaurant. If you don't mind, it turned out to be interesting. I recommend the restaurant to get acquainted with Kazakh cuisine.
This is one of the best restaurants of national cuisine! The design of the restaurant is made in a traditional national style, everything is done with taste without pathos and at the same time very stylish! Getting into the restaurant feels like you are transported back 100-150 years ago, the atmosphere is also conveyed by the staff dressed in simple national clothes of that time. The cuisine is beyond praise, Beshparmak is simply amazing, the dough is thin, not boiled, elastic and at the same time very tender! Very caring staff who will prompt you with a choice of dishes and bring everything promptly! An exemplary restaurant of national cuisine, where our guests from near and far abroad should be taken! There are no alcoholic beverages and coffee in the restaurant :), the prices are also pleasantly surprising, the average check per person is $ 20~$25! I will definitely come and bring all my foreign guests!
Just a must to visit in Almaty. In the national style. The dishes are delicious. The waiters give the necessary comments when choosing. And they also tell about the history of the dishes. Very interesting. The toilet is clean. There is a children's room, spacious with a transparent wall. There are many exhibits around the hall, about which they will also arrange a tour. The staff is very friendly. It's a pity we didn't catch live music.
I recommend trying camel milk, it's unusual. The portions are large, the local cuisine is of high quality. Horse meat is present . The interior is great ,
Great rest!
The food is delicious! The portions are huge, don't rush to order too much)) but if you still overdo it, you will kindly be wrapped up with yourself)
The service is above all praise!
It is unacceptable to visit Almaty and not visit Sandyk)

The Sandyq restaurant is a real immersion in the atmosphere of Kazakh traditions and hospitality. The interior is very beautiful, with a national flavor, and the dishes are just a delight! I tried beshbarmak and kazy — everything was incredibly delicious and homey. Excellent service: fast, polite, respectful to the guest. An ideal place to show Kazakh cuisine to friends or enjoy delicious food in a cozy atmosphere. I will definitely come back here again. I recommend it!
I highly recommend you to visit! The restaurant with local cuisine, as well as exhibits from the 19th century, is very cozy and delicious. There are closed VIP tables, polite staff.
My huge thanks to the restaurant, for the best service 👌this is the best restaurant in Almaty!!! The level of service is European, which is manifested in every detail of the interior, the serving, the behavior of the staff. The interior is stylish, you can sit together or celebrate a family celebration. Moreover, there is enough space not to interfere with each other.
The staff is very helpful. Our words of gratitude to the waiter Miras, who told us everything about the dishes, conducted a tour and told us very interestingly about all the details of the restaurant, paintings, chests and antiques.
This is not just a restaurant, but a whole museum!!! A place of warmth, luxury and light. The music, the setting, the choice of dishes are excellent. The best place to relax and have delicious treats!
Beautiful ethno interior, it is especially pleasant to invite guests from other countries there. There is Kazakh cuisine, everything is very tasty, beautiful presentation, good service. There is a children's room. For all 10/10. The prices are high, this is the level of the restaurant. The average check per person is 20,000 Hide
The best restaurant in Almaty! You should definitely take a bread basket to the table, it is very tasty, especially baursaks and creamy sauce for them. All the meat dishes are excellent. The waiters wear national clothes, and in the evenings from 20:00 they hold a concert of national music. It is very important to book a table in advance, there may not be any available ones. I really liked everything we took
Very nice interior, made in the national style. The service is good, the waiter knows the menu, is polite. The uniform is in national traditions, clean. The food is very satisfying. We ordered kozhe, kuyrdak, salad and baursaks. Very tasty baursaks, served with jam. Kuyrdak, the meat is a little overcooked, but so tasty and satisfying. There are exhibits on the upper floor. We'll be coming in
Excellent restaurant of national cuisine! Everything is very tasty and authentic cooked! I advise everyone. Of course, it's not cheap! But in our reality, this is normal!
Beautiful interior! There's music in the common room! There is a covered terrace! Very tasty meat) horsemeat with potatoes is delicious (but the pressure will jump)! The salads are delicious! There's a whole bunch of goodies for sweets
The atmosphere and interior are top notch. The menu features only dishes from the national cuisine. The service is very good. The staff is polite to the visitors.
It is absolutely necessary to visit Tai!A paradise for meat eaters, especially for those who love beshbarmak, even tomorrow warmed in a frying pan... And so on, her and the songs, everything is there, mmmm
A great restaurant. I visited Almaty for the first time . I recommend it to anyone who is visiting Kazakhstan for the first time. National cuisine, atmosphere, pleasant staff. The chef is on top!
Tasty, colorful, not too expensive. There is an online menu with photos of dishes, convenient. The toilets are clean. Reservations are always required, we had to wait 30 minutes for a table to be available, and this is on Thursday
I was confused by the mandatory service surcharge (around 10-15% of the order amount), although 3 waiters changed during dinner. The plates are chipped, the menu is shabby, some pages are kept on a kind word
In general, for me the score is around 3.7 - 4.2, but definitely not 5
We tried 4 traditional dishes here, we liked 3 very much, 1 turned out to be past us: the horsemeat soup is quite simple and lost a lot against the background of other dishes.
The waiters are very attentive, they practically notice everything that happens at the table: if they see any changes, they take away the plates, clarify whether something is needed. It took us a while to even notice how the empty plates disappeared before we even had time to salt our eyes.
I would like to note the interior separately: it feels like you are in a museum, there is always something to see and explore. On the way and back from the toilet, I managed to constantly be distracted by various exhibits and works of art)
A restaurant with delicious cuisine, an interesting interior with an authentic flavor, a strange staff who kindly introduced you to the nuances of national cuisine and traditions of the Kazakh people. For a restaurant of this level, the price tag for the kitchen can be marked as average.
Live music from 20.00-22.00. Cozy, in the national style, there is a VIPKA, a variety of food, but I have comments and suggestions to the chefs, on the technology of making our national dishes, for serving them in exquisite taste, the staff is 100 points.
My favorite restaurant in Almaty. Everything is perfect in this place, starting with the kitchen, serving dishes, and ending with the atmosphere. You get aesthetic and gastronomic pleasure. I definitely recommend you to visit❤
Thanks to Sandyk for having the opportunity to introduce guests to the food and culture of Kazakhstan. We get gastronomic pleasure in this place. It is necessary to note the unusual serving of food. The staff is very attentive and caring. Well, special thanks for the music. The guys perform divinely! The only wish is to perform music of a non-tragic genre appropriate to the theme of the restaurant, because music should warm up the appetite, and not vice versa. And don't take it as a remark, but during the performance of works by musicians, it would be better to highlight them with white light, rather than red, blue and other tones. Thanks again!
Beautiful ethno interior, it is especially pleasant to invite guests from other countries there. There is Kazakh cuisine, everything is very tasty, beautiful presentation, good service. There is a children's room. For all 10/10. The prices are high, this is the level of the restaurant. The average check per person is 20,000
Beautiful elastic band. The choice of national cuisine . The staff is in national costumes and it's beautiful
Of the cons, probably only the price tag, I liked the rest.
A great restaurant is ideal to appreciate the local cuisine, the staff is friendly, everything is very tasty, interesting interior, the price was pleasantly surprised! I definitely recommend you to visit!
We often visit cities with a culture different from our usual culture, including food. We are always looking for places where real national food is prepared, we ask the locals. The taxi driver on Medeo recommended the Sandyk restaurant. There are no signs on the street, it is not in sight, and nevertheless, the restaurant is almost 70% full during the day, there are many seats on the reservation, several tables were free. The dishes are really delicious, the portions are large, the girl Aniela served them quickly, politely and neatly. It was raining and stormy outside, so there were problems with WiFi, the menu code could not be read, Adele told us what the dishes we chose were like. Pleasant national music, authentic interior surroundings, service staff in national costumes, stylization of antique dishes - all this creates an effect of presence. It's not a pity to pay for good impressions, even if the check is above average.
I recommend you to visit. Delicious local cuisine. The gym is completely full on weekends. I managed to witness the private national event "Tusaukeser".
Excellent traditional cuisine restaurant! Everything is sooo delicious! The service is excellent. You can not only eat, but also plunge into the traditional atmosphere, as well as learn how these dishes are prepared.👍
An amazing restaurant of national cuisine! A very warm welcome, polite waiters who will help with the selection of dishes. It is very clean, aesthetically pleasing and colorful. We were twice on vacation-I really liked it! The portions are huge and everything was delicious! Thank you, we will definitely advise you!
The food is delicious, I didn't like the service, they charge 15%, but this is a lot for such a service. There were no guided tours, although we asked. There was no presentation of the dishes. Although they saw how the dishes were taken out to other visitors.
An interesting and beautiful place. Very tasty local cuisine, friendly staff. They tell about each dish, its composition, history and how to eat.
Concerts of national music are held in the evenings. There is also a mini museum. Guided tours are provided for new guests.
I visited this restaurant of national cuisine, and was impressed! Great atmosphere, authentic decoration and, of course, delicious dishes. The service is top-notch, the staff is friendly and attentive. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to try the real culinary masterpieces of Kazakhstan!
We were in Almaty on vacation in early July. We were looking for a Kazakh cuisine restaurant and chose this wonderful place! Attentive staff, everything is delicious and satisfying! Then we looked at the exhibits of the mini-museum-beauty! I recommend everyone to visit this magnificent restaurant!
The waiter gave the menu and left for half an hour. I had to call someone else.
The waiter who served us spoke Russian so fast that we had to repeat half the words.
Food takes a long time to cook. We didn't get any excitement from the food.
The interior is excellent.
The prices are at least 2 times too high.
You must pay 15% for the service.
We definitely won't come here a second time.
Place on 10 out of 10! The national cuisine is worthy of Michelin. The service is perfect. The interior is full of unique expositions. The portions are huge and very tasty. Beshbarmak wow!
A very beautiful restaurant in a national and colorful style. Clean, cozy and atmospheric. The service is "exemplary" compared to other restaurants. There is a playground. I liked the kitchen. Especially the serving of baursaks with millet. I recommend it for holding respectable events and meetings.
A wonderful atmospheric place! There is a guide who can show and tell, a kind of mini museum in the institution.The cuisine is delicious, the dishes are served in an unusual way.I liked everything!
Indeed, this is a museum restaurant! It's worth going to enjoy the interior. The food didn't seem super incredibly delicious to us, but it was good.Beshbarmak was brought with other ingredients, but they did not tell us how to use them correctly, although it was clear from us that we were not local.It turned out that there are special ingredients that can be added at will, and at the end they can bring broth. The dishes themselves are delicious, but I remember that I tried tastier. There are only two pieces of meat in the horsemeat salad, the rest is arugula. And the baursaks turned out to taste like doughnuts, they didn't know that they were good as a dessert. Tea with herbs is delicious.Perhaps if you order the rest of the dishes, they will be really super delicious. But with such portions, we barely mastered it, although of course we wanted to try everything!Here, while the highest percentage for service is 15%, the waiter was polite, but not to say that he was really very courteous, we were in places where the service was more attentive, we always had plates on the table, the waiter did not really explain about the dishes and their composition, just said that you can see on the website, it is also visible it was that the person was sick. So I write because I see that the institution has swung at a high level, therefore there are more claims, as well as the price tag itself, which is quite high.
We wanted to spend a romantic evening, alas, this place is not for that. We were greeted in the aisle on the second floor, waiters came by every two minutes, the interior of the 70s, the lack of zoning makes this restaurant Almaty mediocrity, perhaps your parents, who celebrated the anniversary of your grandfather, will be delighted.
