Alye Parusa - Almaty

Alye Parusa restaurant chain has locations in nearly all shopping centers in Kazakhstan. While they offer some traditional Kazakh dishes, the brand is most popular among young locals for their pizza and Asian cuisine. If you, like me, are tired of struggling to understand local menus and crave something familiar, restaurants like Alye Parusa are the perfect spot for you.

The restaurant chain Alye Parusa has branches in practically every shopping center in Kazakhstan. While they offer some dishes typical of Kazakh cuisine, the truth is that the brand is popular mainly among local young people for pizza and Asian dishes. If, like me, you are tired of not understanding much with local menus and want to eat something familiar, places like "Alye Parusa" will be your salvation in the country. In the Dostyk Plaza shopping center location, the menu is written in English, and the employees speak it quite well. In my case, I ordered a Japanese soup with noodles and vegetables for only 800 Tenge (just over two euros). For less than five euros, you can order complete sushi dishes.
