I enjoyed the place. Tasty food. Reasonably good service. Cozy atmosphere. I had lagman and pilaf. Also wanted samsa, but the waiter warned me that it would take an hour to cook. Didn't wait. There is no internet in the restaurant. And add 10% to menu prices for service.

Favorite restaurant in Astana! Conveniently located in the residential complex "Northern Lights" in the very center. Love from the first meeting in 2022 to the present day. The recipe has not changed for years, you get delicious local cuisine from the chef. We especially like meat dishes - bishbarmak, kebab, manti, but the fish menu is also excellent. Foreigners often dine in the restaurant in the evening, negotiations take place. The atmosphere of comfort and at the same time a stylish interior, greenery. The waiters are wonderful, they will always tell you and joke🤗 Saying goodbye to Astana, we ate breakfast, we also really liked the breakfast from the chef. We recommend all Russian friends to 🤗 Saxaul

I recently visited the Saksaul restaurant, and I was impressed! Cozy atmosphere, stylish interior and, of course, incredible cuisine. Each dish is a real find! I especially liked their salads and desserts. The staff is friendly and attentive, which adds warmth to the atmosphere. I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a place for a pleasant dinner with friends or a romantic meeting. I will definitely come back again!

Very tasty, served quickly, kids friendly - bring the order to the child as a priority. Polite and helpful staff, the manager comes out personally to make sure that the guest liked the order. In general, it is beyond praise. The restaurant itself is in the city center. Despite the surrounding construction site, the territory is fenced and creates the effect of a separate cozy oasis. Both the outdoor tables are beautifully decorated, and the interior is atmospheric. There is a corner in the hall for photo shoots in national clothes. Come here and you won't regret it.

Excellent service, authentic interior, polite waiters, and the cuisine is beyond praise. You will be in Astana, be sure to have lunch! Prices are average by Moscow standards, ordinary, probably a little expensive for Astana, but it's worth it!

A good place, polite courteous staff, delicious breakfasts and an excellent main menu of traditional dishes and more. The food is delicious. Sometimes the terrace is not ready from the first minutes of opening, but a table will be prepared for guests in a couple of minutes.

This is the first time in Astana and we immediately got to such a nice, colorful place. Beshbarmak, pike perch, salads, tea 10 out of 10. The staff is friendly and attentive. Our waiter, Beybarys, was beyond praise, fed us, told us about national dishes, and yes, took pictures of us in national clothes. In general, the best impression of the restaurant.

I really liked it, if you are in Astana, I recommend you to visit. Delicious, and with a national flavor, I liked the Cheese dish from young lamb most of all, and also the Saxaul salad. But beshbarmak didn't come in, maybe horsemeat is not mine. The dessert was also delicious and the original presentation

Yes, I was there, I will say everything was very tasty, they took shish kebab and salad Tashkent there is still a lot of everything on the menu, but they became too expensive on this, and even the waiters transferred from rubles to tenga a little incorrectly gave an extra thousand, but the cost of conversion. Even at the end of our meal, the restaurant director himself came up and asked how nice it was for us here. Thanks a lot for the super attitude

The best restaurant with national cuisine in the city, of which, by the way, there are not so many here. Our waiter Sultan is on top: friendly, open, sociable, Oriental with dignity, treated us and told us about the food and the restaurant to our delight.
The food is excellent – of course we tried Besbarmak, 4 different types of meat, horse meat soup, and much more. The manager (I don't know the name) and the Sultan came out to see us off after dinner, which is very pleasant and it actually speaks of real hospitality.
Thank you dear friends for such a reception and special thanks for organizing such a team to the "princess" of the restaurant Diana Nikolaevna 🙏

A very atmospheric restaurant. Everything is very tasty and there is a lot of meat. Friendly waiters bring the whole dish quickly and help with the choice. I really liked the costumes that you could change into to take photos and there were also musical instruments. I recommend the restaurant. When we arrive in Astana again, we will definitely look in.

There is no Wi-Fi, for live communication. On Saturday evening, we found a free table for 4, the dishes are very hearty, the portions are large. I advise you to order a branded dessert with gold - a wonderful presentation, not a sugary dessert, but at the same time very tasty!

We had lunch at this restaurant for two days in a row, we really liked everything! The restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere, stylish interior, comfortable spacious seating, calm music playing in the background. Very tasty national dishes, I recommend pilaf, beshbarmak and horse meat dolma, a very tasty dessert cake with shubat mousse. The waiters are very polite and hospitable, they know the menu well, they can advise. We will definitely return here on our next visits to Astana🩷

According to the reviews on Tripadvisor, we decided to have a family lunch here. There were empty seats at lunch on weekdays, we chose a place on the veranda. Salads, beshbarmak and Tashkent tea - everything ordered was of excellent quality. Despite the so-called cautious attitude of the population in Kazakhstan towards dogs, the restaurant allowed the presence of a Labrador.

The premises of this restaurant left an indelible impression on me, in a good sense of the word.
I went on the recommendation of local acquaintances, like to a restaurant where the best beshbarmak is prepared in the city. But besides the pleasure of eating (among other things, horsemeat soup was served to my beshbarmak - and this is a separate topic for conversation), I enjoyed the service. Oriental hospitality with a capital letter! I am sure that every guest of this institution felt the same feeling.
Great fellows!
A must-visit!

This is probably the best Kazakh cuisine restaurant in Astana. Dishes of meat, dough, entrails, delicacies of Nomadic steppe cuisine are present on the menu here. Well-trained staff and attentive management provide excellent service. Salads and snacks are a separate culinary story, which is enriched by good teas and milk drinks of the nomads (they happen seasonally). The alcohol list is not rich, but people come here to eat. I do not advise you to take Arba wines. The meat here is delicious and cooked with love.

It's a great place. Probably the best Kazakh cuisine restaurant in the city. Beshbarmak, kebabs, manti, samsa, desserts, everything is super. The portions are large, the serving is super, the taste and quality are excellent. The prices are average, the service is excellent. Calm, decent, but not pretentious atmosphere, good design. In general, there is nothing to complain about. The average check per person is about 6000-8000 tenge.

When you drive up to this restaurant, it feels like it is poorly located, which means it is not very busy. In addition, there is a zero-cycle construction nearby, fenced with a high fence.Cars literally squeeze through the aisle between the construction site and the building on the ground floor of which the "Saxaul" is located (By the way, the traffic police would do well to visit there. No, not in the restaurant, but in this alley passage and put things in order). So, having attached the car, with the already joyless anticipation of a spoiled lunch, you get (oh, a miracle!) into a gourmet atmosphere! If you want, land on the summer veranda, almost outdoors, surrounded by greenery; if you don't want, go inside the room, where friendly waiters are waiting for you in several halls. The food here is homemade and quite varied. The prices are within reasonable limits.In general, I liked it, and I left the restaurant satisfied, with completely different impressions than expected.And so that you can evaluate it yourself, I want to intrigue you and give you an incomplete layout of the photo review: I think even these 2 pictures convey the mood of those who have been here. Go, do not be lazy, you will not regret it!

We came to Kazakhstan from Belarus. If we talk about some special impression received in Astana, it was the Kazakh cuisine. Peculiar and non-standard for us (considering the type of meat dishes) nevertheless, it turned out to be really tasty. The restaurant "Saksaul" certainly contributed to the creation of this positive impression.
This institution, which I picked up before the trip, confirmed all the positive reviews and met all the expectations. A place where you are called exclusively "dear guests" encourages you to really feel like one. Here you will be surrounded with genuine care and attention, delicious and satisfying food, and a great desire to return.

Maybe the kitchen is delicious, maybe the interior is cool, but we'll never know.…
We are tourists, we came from Russia and since we live in the same house, we decided to go for a traditional dinner. We ordered dishes from horse meat, mutton, etc. The waiter accepted everything and left. But he soon returned and said that NONE of our ordered dishes were THERE!
What?) It's just 21.00 and you were too lazy to cook?) Or how to understand this trick, when a waiter in a restaurant is obliged to understand the situation in the kitchen, and that there are no most basic products.
In general, we walked on) But the sediment remained! Well, you can't do that, guys…

A very cool place with national dishes. If you are looking for a place to try beshbarmak, then you can safely try it here. A picturesque place. You can sit and eat in peace. The staff is friendly, they will show you everything and tell you how to eat this or that dish correctly. The score of 5 is fully deserved.

Hello everyone My friends and I came to Astana for a few days, local friends recommended this restaurant for the official celebration of a business meeting. I really liked the service, the atmosphere, but above all the dishes, of course. I recommend that you definitely find local people and go with them, so that it is not only delicious, but also informative. In general, many thanks to the brothers from Kazakhstan for such places and cuisine!

A very authentic place for those who want to try the local cuisine in the appropriate place. Excellent original beshbarmak with Caspian sturgeon and salmon, I recommend it! But the service makes you want the best: they told you about the birthday, before that they congratulated the birthday boy at the next table, but they forgot about me or did not want to congratulate me (... No luck with desserts either - nothing of the desired was on the menu(

I would like to express my gratitude for the excellent service of the staff, who showed deep knowledge of both dishes and Kazakh traditions. The taste of Kazakh cuisine at the Saksaul restaurant is simply amazing - each dish is so full of flavors and taste that it creates a unique experience. I was especially pleased with the tender meat, cooked with special skill. I will definitely come back here again to enjoy this great experience once again. Thank you for a wonderful lunch!
