Kazakhstan
At a glance
Qazaq Grill is a Kazakh cuisine and catering venue at Aqarys St 5 in Astana, focused on generous food for shared occasions. Its signature format is a whole roasted lamb prepared for delivery and presented as a centrepiece for gatherings. The menu also includes half portions for smaller groups, along with other large-format meat and fish dishes.
The venue draws on traditions of Kazakh hospitality. A notable part of the presentation is the traditional carving of the lamb into twelve portions, with the process performed as a show and, for selected packages, accompanied by national costume and celebratory effects. This makes the food service suitable for welcoming guests, family occasions, weddings and other celebrations where the meal forms part of the event.
The lamb is sourced for roasting, marinated for several days and cooked slowly according to the venue’s house method. The result is served with side dishes and sauces, with packages sized for groups rather than individual dining. The catering selection also covers baked Norwegian salmon, whole turkey and roasted beef ribs with rice and grilled vegetables.
Traditional dishes extend beyond the signature roast. Beshbarmak is prepared with horse meat, kazy and zhaya, noodles, potatoes and broth. Horse-meat kuyrdak is served with potatoes, while sirne combines roasted lamb and potatoes with herbs, onions and tomatoes. These dishes offer a broader introduction to the flavours and formats associated with Kazakhstan, particularly for shared meals.
Qazaq Grill’s character is practical, festive and presentation-led. Delivery and arranged food service allow large dishes to arrive ready for a gathering, while the carving ritual adds a cultural element to the meal. The substantial portions and group menus suit hosts planning food for several people, from informal family occasions to larger celebrations. The Astana address places the venue within the city’s catering landscape, with ordering handled through the venue’s service channels.
