Meat Vilka - Almaty

A restaurant that takes foreign tourists to Kazakhstan for idiots. And a meal after which you get diarrhea, and the products served are expired. What a Shame ! We ordered a tashkenskij tea and a lemonade. The tea was a carafe with only green tea. We pointed it out saying that it lacks mint , honey, lemon /orange. She took our carafe and came back saying oh no sorry we don't have the ingredients. So if we were tourists not knowing the real taste of the tea we would have just drunk it thinking that this disgusting taste is normal. So unrespectful for the Ouzbek culture... After that she suggested we order something else, we took the vanilla milk shake with fresh cream: it's a bit of milk with a lot of water, and the whipped cream is chemical. What a disappointment! The burger was ok, but it didn't have the ingredients listed. No pastrami, no bbq sauce. It was just bread, a little iceberg, a thin slice of tomato and the steak... Also the portion of fries was tiny, we had to order a second one which was much bigger. To finish, we ordered a Tiramisu and a medovik. As we didn't finish them, we took them with us, and when we came back we saw the date written on the bottom of the pot: August 12th, whereas it was the 17th... Diarrhoea, stomach ache... Not a great restaurant.

I can see how this chain is so popular with locals – good food at very fair prices. Nothing fancy here, but $7 decent ribeye steak is hard to beat. I'm not sure why everything is served with two slices of bread, but eating steak with bread should be considered a crime against food. I'd rather have more salad. Mackerel was tasty as well, and I think it came with the best tartar sauce I've ever tried in Kazakhstan. Their signature craft beer is your average local or Russian cheap beer, so nothing craft about it, but I'm fine with that. But I absolutely didn't like their wheat beer, as it has some sort of artificial aroma I found very off-putting. But think it is all about the food here, and it is pretty good. I believe this chain is heading in a proper direction.

Good value for money option... but sometimes meat steaks, feels like delicious expectation, and then non chewing reality... Burges are pretty good all the time.

Very tasty burgers, French fries, steaks. Moderate prices, friendly and quick staff. Wish to more clients and branches in town

Good service. We ordered 2 steaks: rib eye steak and New York steak. The last one was not so good and tasty. For this kind of Cafe the prices are low.
