Experience Culinary Delights at AUYL in Almaty, Kazakhstan 🇰🇿

Tucked away in the scenic Medeu region of Almaty, AUYL is more than just a restaurant; it’s a unique culinary journey that celebrates the rich traditions of Central Asia. Housed in a beautifully repurposed Soviet-era yurt, AUYL offers a one-of-a-kind dining experience. What to Expect Neo-Nomad Cuisine: Under the expertise of head chef Ruslan Zakirov, the menu features a creative blend of local ingredients all cooked over open flames in traditional methods. Enjoy dishes prepared in a qazan (cauldron), on a mangal grill, or in a tandoor oven. Interactive Dining: The restaurant’s open kitchen acts as a stage, allowing guests to witness the artistry of the cooking process. The atmosphere is enriched by the stunning interior design, featuring atmospheric lighting and handcrafted decor. Curated Wine Selection: Overseen by sommelier Yulia Lomteva, the wine list offers a mix of local and international bottles, focusing on unconventional and sustainable options that perfectly complement the dishes. I was pleasantly surprised by the local Riesling from Arba Wine and stocked up 5 bottles to bring back home with me. Dining Hours: AUYL is open for lunch and dinner every day of the week, making it a convenient stop for any itinerary. Reservations are recommended. 📍Location: Visit AUYL at улица Керей-Жанибек хандар 586, Almaty, for an unforgettable dining experience. For a taste of innovative cuisine that pays homage to tradition, make sure to visit AUYL during your time in Almaty! #travel #kazakhstan #almaty
