As they wrote in one of the reviews, only the name ((( remained of the former. In Soviet times, the Central Department Store was really a central store where you could buy almost EVERYTHING. And now it's simple, a trading house and that says it all))).
On the plus side, there is a cinema on the ground floor and a grocery store in the basement, which is very convenient for those who live nearby. They sell cell phones on the second floor, I won't say I wasn't interested in the prices.
For tourists, if you walk around the city center, you can come here for a snack and relax. There are various cafes on the ground floor, and they are also nearby on the Arbat.
The most important information for guests of the city, on the third floor there are boutiques with a variety of souvenirs for every taste and purse. Be sure to buy some for yourself and friends to remember Kazakhstan by!
Another disadvantage is that parking in the center is paid everywhere and you still need to find a free place))
One of the best shopping malls in the city
A large selection of phones, service and repair of any complexity
High-quality clothing stores at affordable prices
Good serving fast food chains
Take this brand from this store. It's not even funny. Phone repair? Market T-shirts? This is the center of the city! There is a pedestrian street nearby.
Almaty Central Department Store , Arbat , you remember your youth. Especially the reconstruction of the building and the entire surrounding area, of course, but much better than it was before.
Kick out all the telephone operators from the 2nd floor, it's just a shame-they set up a phone market in the city center. There should be beautiful boutiques for tourists, but that's not all.

There's an anime store there, so 4 stars, just because of them
In all shopping malls, everything is done humanly. TSUM, a set of solid bacchanalia, and even with a paid toilet. An aunt is sitting with a guard and yelling at everyone that the toilet is paid. Q Why the hell is it paid? After all that has been seen, the desire to visit this place again disappears abruptly. Unfortunately, it is the Central Department Store that is located in a place where tourists and most of the guests of Almaty gather, and there it is. Yeah…
A good shopping center
I especially like the jewelry departments.
There is always a lot of choice
A lot of branded clothes and appliances and smartphones
A slightly strange store is a chic place, a center of attraction for people, a pedestrian street and a village. Well, this... Dostyk Plaza is much more statuesque, not to mention Yesentai
Since 2004, I bought my first Nokia 6300 Teflon, since then I have bought the latest iPhone 11 pro phone every year.... I think phones are much cheaper than in stores here. Why it seems cheaper, it all depends on banks and their interest rates for sole proprietors and LLP
