A store I'll never go to again! Four kebabs were ordered, along with a skewer of mushrooms, a flat bread and a bottle of coke. we only got four skewers of barbecue, did not get naan and mushrooms, we asked for a long time after waiting, they also did not serve food, then the clerk took the surveillance video to say that we ate five skewers, but the fact is that the mushroom they think in the surveillance is actually not finished eating grilled salmon, and finally no one to solve the matter, there is no remedy, too disappointing a restaurant, Worst meal ever in Almaty! so bad!!!!!!

An interesting cafe, an unusual interior and an original menu. There is a choice for every taste and purse)))
We tried shurpa, khachapuri kebab, lamb kebab. Did you like the balance and harmony of flavors in the soup, the delicate cheese (or the mashed seasoned cottage cheese?) to Khachapuri! The cook knows how to work with spices. We highly recommend this place, come and enjoy the delicious cuisine of Kazakhstan))
We would like to wish the cafe prosperity and more grateful guests! "Greater happiness is to give" (The Bible, Acts 20, Chapter 35) and YOU fully fulfill this principle;))

A very cozy place, the kitchen is very tasty, kebabs are generally great, a small minus is that it is stuffy on the top floor, the air conditioners do not work and the windows do not open, this is a small minus, and the kitchen and interior are very cool, even the toilet in the form of a ship, everything is for convenience and prices are affordable, not overpriced, it is especially good to come there when It's raining outside, sitting in comfort and wiping out the windows is generally very romantic

A wonderful barbecue. Good atmosphere. Operational service. Prices for the Southern Capital are completely normal. By the way, the prices of good alcohol are not raised, above human greed, unlike many establishments in Almaty.

Perhaps the best place in the city where you can eat barbecue! The price-quality ratio is perfect! Very tasty shish kebab, a large selection, a good marinade! The only thing missing is a pork kebab.

Not a bad place. It's spacious. The prices are good. But, the staff is rude and does not care at all about the customer coming again...We are waiting for a long time for service, we are waiting for an order. There are not enough waiters, they do not have time.
The food is delicious, but often over-salted and overcooked, in particular kebabs. Cooks obviously do not worry about the consequences, for example, increased pressure from excess salt ...
By the way, we live nearby and smoke often "flies" into our apartments. I have to close up...

Delicious barbecue. No, it's not like that.… A VERY TASTY BARBECUE.
We spent not a single evening with family and relatives. The prices are great, the portions are large.
The staff lets us down a little with the service, but it's the little things when everything is brought and we enjoy a delicious dinner.

A great inexpensive place, with delicious food and not expensive beer. However, there are always a lot of people there, so the first order is carried for a long time, but then everything levels out and you are served with dignity.

The chefs are great, always excellent quality! According to the service, sometimes there are not enough waiters to wait. Prices are below average, you can see the institution is working on volume and margin. According to the interior, a nice pub

Everything is delicious and not expensive, the service is good, but because of the large flow of people, sometimes you have to wait a little longer, everything is delicious kebabs, shrimp I really liked, as well as a large selection of drinks, teas, cold drinks, cocktails. In general, everything is gorgeous and not expensive 🔥

The kebab is delicious, like everything else.
The place is large, there are a lot of people, the service is not perfect - the dishes are served a little haphazardly. But in terms of price/quality ratio, this place is very good.

Greetings from Krasnodar, coming to visit the beautiful city of Almaty, everyone tries to get enough of the delights of local cuisine, for me personally, this institution has become the discovery of delicious dishes! Lamb shish kebab is generally 10 out of 10! So I recommend it to everyone!

My friends and I visited this restaurant and were extremely dissatisfied with the service. We ordered five portions of barbecue: beef, lamb, tuna, mushrooms and chicken wings, as well as a flatbread and a bottle of Cola. However, we were not served mushrooms and flatbread. The waiter claimed that the mushrooms were served, and we had to wait almost forty minutes while they checked the surveillance cameras. As a result, it turned out that it was the waiter's mistake. In addition, the manager also insisted that we ate five portions of mushrooms, and behaved extremely rudely. This is extremely unprofessional and unacceptable. We will not return to this restaurant anymore and will not recommend it to others.

Previously, shish kebab was much tastier, now prices have been raised, and the quality has decreased. The service is terrible, waiting for the waiter is a whole problem, although there are call buttons everywhere on the tables. Any order has to wait a very long time, and a barbecue is generally an eternity, 30 - 40 minutes. By the time the barbecue is brought, you'll have eaten the whole tortilla, and the salad, and you'll get drunk on beer. Then the barbecue already disappears the desire to eat. Previously, they often ordered takeaway, but when the quality of the kebab has decreased, then it makes no sense to order takeaway for such a price.

We went to eat with my wife and had a very bad opinion of the establishment's staff .
We ordered a barbecue, they cooked it for us for 40 minutes and brought it cold and to all this, as if it was not the first freshness, as if they carried it from the Burundai on foot, although there were no people really sitting about 5 tables of 2-3 people in a word, I do not recommend going to this institution.

We go to Smile only because of the kebabs, I recommend all kinds of kebabs - except mutton, mutton is not tasty here. Two times in a row we got on not tasty mutton. And the rest of the kebabs are very tasty, especially the entrecote. According to salads, they are very small, they taste normal. I DO NOT RECOMMEND BEER, their beer is diluted, after drinking it, the head hurts a lot. The institution itself is an anthill. The place is very crowded and very noisy. The institution itself is made of metalwork. There is one shared bathroom, both men and women go there for whatever.
I recommend only kebabs, except mutton! There are a lot of people on weekends and holidays, security guards let customers in on a first-come, first-served basis. Table reservations from 10 people.

One of the best places to eat kebabs, and the rest of the dishes are not bad.
The prices are affordable, the only thing if there are a lot of visitors is to wait longer when your order is brought.
And you can also drink normally, I mean alcohol.
Sometimes kebabs change, that's when there are incidents in the form of undercooked meat. But this is very rare. And mostly only the positive aspects.
I can't help but say about the lunches - delicious and inexpensive. I recommend you to visit

The best meat is here! It's always delicious, I love it. the food is always fresh, the meat is tender and juicy. Khychiny is the dump of everything! I don't want to go anywhere else after this place. The service is of course more often harsh, but not critical

One of the most iconic places in the city. The quality of the barbecue is at a very high level. Here you can have a delicious meal at lunch, at dinner, and you can also celebrate any Holiday that comes to your mind. The fairest price for a barbecue, in my opinion, is only here. However, recently I noticed that several positions of beef kebab are missing. A wide variety of alcoholic and other beverages. There is no children's room, so if you are going to visit this institution with children, then prepare for the fact that they will have nowhere to play.

Delicious and a lot . The prices are very encouraging . The price-quality-quantity ratio is at an altitude. The biggest sticks of shish kebab, if not in the world, then in the city for sure (for this money), and very tasty. From Monday to Friday, a delicious lunch , there is not much choice , the standard bowl is tastier than sorpa , at the bottom there is a large bone with meat. And a choice of a stick of shish kebab, chicken lamb, etc. plus a lapashka and compote. All this for 1,500- 1,700 tenge, depending on which barbecue you choose. For this price, you can only eat yesterday's lagman without meat or pilaf in the city . I recommend this place to visit . P.S. There are a lot of people, there are often no places. I did not notice any disadvantages, only that the staff sometimes does not serve for a long time. And I think that's because there are a lot of visitors

I am changing the review, it was previously 5 stars.
Gone bad !
came here on 09.23.2024
The meat is terrible , the mutton is old with a strong smell and falls apart into minced meat and not meat
The liver in the shell was also with a very strong smell of chicken.
the heart of the kebab is very tough.
fried tripe with onion is very strongly overcooked, not salty, and with a very strong smell...
I rarely write negative reviews, but I deserve it
What the hell happened to you???

The prices are ordinary for the city, a good barbecue. Sometimes a little more fat, sometimes a little more bones, but in general it is more than delicious. I especially liked the set meals. The entourage will not be to everyone's taste, but as a place for dining it has proven itself perfectly

Well, it's a very big place. I was in the afternoon, waiting for kebabs for 30 minutes. I can imagine what will happen in the evening, when all the tables will be occupied, what noise there will be, and how long it will take to wait for the order. The kebabs are average, sometimes better. The service is good, maybe because there were few people.
