Based on nomadic roots, Kazakhstan's traditional food reflects the country's unique ethnic and religious composition. The customs of the nomadic people and the Middle Eastern influences can be easily recognised while enjoying the country's traditional food. Some restaurants situated at exclusive hotels in the country offer all types of cuisines, including Chinese, Japanese, Continental, and more.
The local specialities revolve around mutton (meat from sheep), horse meat and a wide range of milk products. Some of the most popular Kazak dishes include kazi and chuzhuk (horsemeat sausages), kuyrdak (a dish made from roasted sheep offal and fat), besbarmak (boiled meat and small pieces of dough) and various other horse delicacies (zhal, zhaya).
