About this place

Sandyq at 55 Abylai Khan Avenue introduces Kazakh cuisine through a restaurant-and-museum setting. The menu brings together regional recipes, beshbarmak, horse-meat dishes and traditional baked food. Allow time to take in the surroundings as well as the meal itself.

For an evening visit, arrange a table at the Almaty restaurant in advance. If the dishes are unfamiliar, ask staff to explain ingredients and serving style before ordering several items. This helps a group find a suitable combination and account for individual preferences.
