Local and International Flavors at Samal
The resort's Samal restaurant is the place to gather at the start and end of the day, with a menu that draws on Middle Eastern, local, and European cooking.

Restaurant Atmosphere
Meals here are relaxed and unhurried, an easy place to share plans for the next day or settle in after the cold mountain air.
Cuisine
- Middle Eastern
- Generous, aromatic cooking well suited to shared tables.
- Local
- Kazakh and Central Asian dishes that reflect where you are staying.
- European
- Familiar choices for guests who want something closer to home.

Breakfast
Breakfast is served as a buffet and is one of the highlights guests mention most. It is a good way to fuel up before heading out to Medeu or Shymbulak.
Meal Service
Brunch, lunch, and dinner are served at the restaurant, and a bar is also available on site.
Meals follow the shape of a mountain day: a full breakfast before heading out, something at midday when you come back down, and a slower table in the evening.
The menu moves between Middle Eastern, local, and European cooking, so a shared table is the easiest way to try more of it.
