Almaty /ˈælməti/ (Kazakh: Алматы, Almaty [ɑlmɑˈtə]; Russian: Алматы), formerly known as Alma-Ata /ˌælmə.əˈtɑː/ (Russian: Алма-Ата) and Verny (Russian: Верный Vernyy), is the largest city in Kazakhstan, with a population of 1,797,431 people, about 8% of the country's total population. It served as capital of the Kazakh state in its various forms from 1929 to 1997, under the influence of the then Soviet Union and its appointees. Alma-Ata was the host city for a 1978 international conference on Primary Health Care where the Alma Ata Declaration was adopted, marking a paradigm shift in global public health. In 1997, the government relocated the capital to Astana in the north of the country, which is about 12 hours away by train.

We had read excellent reviews of Tandor, so expectations were high. We went twice during our stay in Kazakhstan. The decor is superb, probably the best looking Indian restaurant Iâve been to, and just the right atmosphere. My only complaint in that respect is the need for a TV in each room (Itâs really distracting!). On the first visit, we had two thalis, one hot and one not, plus noodles and sizzling chicken, which I ordered mistakenly assuming it was a curry (there seem to be some Chinese dishes on the menu); it was fine, just not what I wanted in an Indian meal. The hot thali was extremely spicy, more so than we were prepared for, so we were more prepared on our second visit. Our second visit was excellent; we had a green chicken curry, a chicken Madras, a mild thali and a small bucket of daal, along with jugs of mango lassee, naan breads, fried and non-fried poppadoms and dips. All were delicious, especially the chicken dishes and the daal. The service was superb (I returned to give a tip after a debate as to whether or not it was expected - our guide book said not) and I would say that, based on the second visit, it was certainly one of the best Indian meals Iâve had (and Iâve had quite a few). It is definitely the most atmospheric and well presented Indian restaurant Iâve been to. Dear Martin G,Thank you very much for the detailed review! we will take into account all the recommendations, we always try to listen to the opinions of our guests.Glad you liked it! hope to see you again.

Soul kitchen restaurant. Our menu is not the edge of our abilities. We can cook everything you want, if the Chef will have ingredients. Cooking by the book of recipes from 1881 y. There is Negroni bar on the base of CHEF. Specializes in Negroni (more then

The restaurant is situated in the basement, but is very easy to find. They have an English menu, which is most helpful. The meal took some time to arrive, but this was clearly due to the fact that the food was freshly made; it was worth the wait. Prices very reasonable.

I we came for dinner with high expectations. I have eaten India cuisine in many countries including India of course. This establishment was a big let down. Instead of using a mix of powder and fresh peppers, they use only the former. The heat is there, but it only burns and is not complex at all. Quite unfortunate.

As stated, a very safe vego option in a whole region of meat-heavy cuisine. The set menu will fill the hungriest of people for relatively cheap. Has a nice quiet feel.Note: google maps shows the wrong address if trying to find by map. If you end up near the train station, turn around and walk about a kilometre South. It will be on the right side, across the road from a blue building
