Question: Can you find Vegan Food in Almaty?

Dear Guest,

You are right re food recognized as being meat heavy, but only partly.  It is recognized more in Kazakhstan, but not in all the countries of Central Asia.  Traditionally Kazakhs use more meat than other people in the region.  But in the South of Kazakhstan you can find more vegan food, because of hot climate.  However, still Kazakhs are eating too much meat.  

I think in big cities of Central Asia, including Almaty, you can easily find vegan food in restaurants… or you can cook it yourself buying local and seasonal green products on the market. 

If you have any problems with vegan food, please come and see us in Shymkent, be our honored guest.  We shall organize.  

Kind regards,

Dildabek
