Kazy

Homemade meat sausage. Traditionally made of horse meat. It is moderately spicy. Served both hot and cold. You should definitely try it!

Baursaki

Each Almaty housewife has her own recipe of baursaks passed from mother to daughter. Therefore, you will not find two identical flavors of this dish. Order it instead of the bread basket!
