Eastern tale
The Alasha restaurant resembles oriental palaces with their richest decor and secrets. Here you can find huge banquet halls and secluded khan's pavilions, a room for a hookah and ayvan, a room closed only on three sides. But this is not what attracts numerous guests to the restaurant, but hospitality, endless respect for each guest and truly oriental generosity. On the menu you can find mutton shashlik, delicious pilaf, traditional Kazakh flatbreads.
For dessert, of course, will be served fresh fruits and berries, which are so rich in Kazakhstan, and famous oriental delicacies. In such a place, real life seems like a beautiful fairy tale, where there is a place for delicious food, birdsong, the murmur of a mountain stream and a bewitching dance.
