Navat is widely praised for its authentic Kazakh cuisine, offering generous portions that are ideal for sharing. Customers frequently highlight the quality and flavor of traditional dishes such as Beshbarmak and Baursak, with some noting that certain home-cooked regional specialties remain preferred by locals. The restaurant's ambiance is celebrated for its traditional and inviting atmosphere, complemented by attentive and professional service, including staff proficient in English. Additionally, visitors appreciate the reasonable pricing and the availability of quality wine selections. While overwhelmingly positive, a few diners suggest that the local rural culinary experiences provide a different, sometimes preferred, perspective on Kazakh food.

Everything was good. Beautiful restaurant. Baursak and cream were super good. We came here just to try Beshbarmak with horse meat and fermented milk. But for our case, we just had our tour out of city to Basshi and Saty village, home cook foods were definitely better.

My second time coming to Almaty, and this was highly recommended on both Google and 2GIS. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the staff, and they were incredibly friendly and professional. Got our food and drinks sorted, with not a long wait for our food. This is by far the tastiest Beshbarmak I’ve had in Kazakhstan—the horse meat was succulent and fantastic, the silky pasta complementing the saltiness of the Kazy perfectly. Excellent ambience, really wonderful interior decoration. Would highly recommend and would go again in a heartbeat next time I’m in Almaty.

It was very busy to dine in at evening so make sure to have reservation. They have a very diverse menu and could be overwhelming for tourists like us. We ordered plov, chicken with cream and those little dumpling (forgot the names ) but they were all tasty. Good place to try local Kazakh cuisine

They gave us the best spot to sit. Good for performance and photo. There is local dance(I went around 8pm) and instrument performance. Real good experience. The food is awesomely great. Reasonable price with quite a big portion.
