any: "Summer caffes with "Shashlyk"" Almaty Restaurant Tip by Bubr

Almaty Restaurants: 51 reviews and 60 photos

These small caffes with plastic tables under umbrellas in streets may be quite a fun. Some of them are of average quality, some are great, but all of them are rather cheap. Usual order is a "Shashlyk" (grilled meat on sticks) and a beer for a good talk with your companion. Then another shashlyk and another beer... And another... And so on. ;)

Ask a local friend which one is good in his district this year.

Favorite Dish: Cheapest beer called "Zhigulyovskoye". Delicious if fresh, nothing if old.

Address: Street corners, tree shades
Comparison: less expensive than average
Directions: Almost everywhere, in city centre as well as on periferia
Price: less than US$10
Rating: 5
Theme: Barbecue
