The Sandyq restaurant in Astana is a culinary gem that exemplifies the artistry of Kazakh cuisine. Each dish, from the meticulously crafted salads to the main courses, is a testament to the chef's mastery. The horse meat, in particular, was exceptionally tender, succulent, and cooked to perfection, while the salad dressings were simply exquisite.
The appetizers, notably the breaded snacks such as samsa, were delectable, and even the butter possessed a unique and delightful flavor.
Our primary motivation for visiting was to witness the live performance by the gifted singer Bek Nuriddinuly, and it proved to be the highlight of the evening. The performance featured a dombira player and a lady playing the qobiz, their music adding an unforgettable dimension to the dining experience.
Regrettably, the tea fell short of the high standards set by the rest of the meal, cooling down too rapidly.
In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Sandyq to anyone seeking an authentic Kazakh culinary experience in a vibrant and engaging atmosphere.
The restaurant is very authentic! Atmospheric! A decent menu! Girls, boys in national costumes! Everything was explained, prompted, and quickly served. The signature tea is beyond praise! Delicious meat, pleasant staff, what else do you need on a trip!! Kazakhstan, respect!!!
Cozy modern restaurant of traditional Kazakh cuisine!
The taste of the dishes is traditionally on top! Polite staff, beautiful service. I definitely recommend visiting this institution!
We were in the city for one day, the guide recommended this restaurant.
All the dishes that were ordered are very tasty!Beshbarmak is a large portion, we could not overcome it. We highly recommend ordering tea, beautiful serving! And very tasty eggplant!
Beautiful view from the window and interior, friendly service!
Thank you💗
Honestly, I feel sorry for the work of the people who worked on this place, on the design of clothes, when the kitchen does not match at all! 😧 guys , where have you seen such a mess in the Kazakh national cuisine and besh is something unreasonably expensive for a portion of 7.5 thousand yes , you are scoffing honestly , it 's a pity for Ruslan 's work and strain , of course he will not keep track of this , but they probably will not know what I wrote , but I was just shocked I expected more and better from the Hungarians , it was a shame went then To another place
This is a new restaurant with good locations and comfortable halls on three levels. The cuisine is Kazakh, festive. These are not only meat, but also dairy products that are traditional at celebrations of the inhabitants of the Great Steppe. The staff is well prepared and helpful. Alcohol is not served here and the place is popular with supporters of Islam. #halal #Kazakh cuisine #Islam #restaurant #Astana
Very tasty and satisfying. The staff and service are excellent, the interior is excellent! The disadvantage is that after the visit it is very difficult to move and shortness of breath appears.
Everything is fine and wonderful, but very expensive. The high cost simply does not fit into my head. There were two personal portions of besh with meat as expected and one portion without meat, plus noodle soup, plus eggplant salad, plus Caucasian slicing, a couple of teapots of tea with national sweets and voila 134,000 tenge.
The peculiarity of this place is the absence of fish and alcohol on the menu.
There is also a museum.
VIP cabins are very comfortable and cozy.
This is a chain of restaurants in Almaty, Turkestan, Shymkent and Astana. I've been everywhere except Shymkent. I liked the food in Almaty and Turkestan the most. It's also delicious in Astana, but it seems like a smaller portion. And so there is a good national restaurant and you can bring guests from abroad to show our Kazakh flavor and delicious food
My family and I, including adult parents and children, visited the Sandyk restaurant in Astana in July. Unfortunately, our experience turned out to be very negative. Immediately upon arrival at the restaurant, the alarm played for 20 minutes, which caused us all to have a headache.
The service leaves much to be desired. On a scale of 10 points, I would put 3. We constantly had to call the maintenance staff, which was extremely inconvenient. Also, the door through which the food was taken out was right next to our table, which also did not add comfort.
The food was average, I would rate it 5 out of 10. We often visit restaurants in Almaty, where the level of service and the quality of the dishes are much higher.
It seems to me that the management of the Sandyk restaurant in Astana needs to review its policy and improve both the service and the overall atmosphere of the institution.
Excellent! All the Sandyk restaurant chains are wonderful! Cozy, delicious. Everything is tasteful, starting with the interior and so on. I consider the most unique restaurant of our Kazakh cuisine, the rest are plagiarism
An atmospheric place, a colorful menu. If you want to get acquainted with the traditional dishes of Kazakhstan in a modern interpretation, then you are here.
Unjustified prices. I ate soup, eggplant, flatbread, tea. I'm not full at all. I gave away 13,000 tenge. 15% charge for the service. The food is good, but nothing special for the prices. The staff is friendly
an excellent restaurant of new Kazakh cuisine
, traditional dishes in a modern way
, milk soup with horse sausage is very tasty
, the interior is pleasant
, the waiters are lovely
, I highly recommend it!!!
There is no vegan menu at all. Only side dishes. It is clear that the restaurant serves traditional Kazakh cuisine, but parmesan in salads has nothing to do with it. In the modern world, in restaurants that position themselves as haute cuisine, you need to have at least a couple of dishes on the menu (!!! not side dishes!!!) for people who do not eat meat for one reason or another (including health reasons).
A huge fat minus.
Another disadvantage: they do not observe the serving of dishes. They bring it in at the end. While you are eating the salad, the second one is brought, as a result it gets cold.
Not vegan friendly.
Positive: beautifully decorated, in local traditions, pleasant music and atmosphere.
Cons: very slow waiters, obviously recently accepted, did not bring our order, begged to take the dish). The wife ordered soup and a bread basket, brought soup and waited 5 minutes for bread. I didn't like the soup. We ordered Tashkent tea and dessert - solid 4.
But the prices are very high, it's not worth it.
Everything is very tasty, the staff is helpful! Great musical performance!

Kazakh national cuisine.
To begin with, this food has been familiar to me since childhood and I really like it.
Beshparmak is just flying ...
there are several types of Kuyrdak, with finely chopped meat and with larger cuts. Everything is excellent too.
We ordered three types of salads, eggplant salad, warm meat salad and vegetables with herbs, I do not remember the name.
I didn't try the first courses, but there were several types of soups on the menu.
Among the drinks, I will note koumiss of several types and shubat (camel milk).
Hot baursaks, samsa, tortillas.
Everything is great for my taste.
The staff is a bit dumb.
Atmosphere 4/5
The waiting time for dishes is 20-25 minutes
Food 4/5
Interior: it caught my eye that there were carpets everywhere, both on the floor and on the walls. I didn't notice anything else surprising. But the halls (2 floors) are very bright and spacious.
The prices are too high, does not match the quality. I ordered a rib with vegetables, the meat was boiled first or baked later. I liked the Baursaks. I don't recommend it.
It's a good restaurant.
Everything was delicious.
And good live music.
I recommend it!

A cozy restaurant in an ethnic style. Delicious food, interesting presentation of national dishes. But special respect to the waiter! How beautifully each dish presents itself!
The food in the digital restaurant is delicious. Real Kazakh cuisine. People are small. The officer's sons and daughters were very friendly there. Whatever food they bring tells the story of that food. "I don't know," he said. It suits them. Real Kazakh boys and girls. Very nice restaurant. You will not regret it if you go.
