Melnitsa

Nur-Sultan (Astana)


The owners of this restaurant chose a 'Ukrainian peasant inside a windmill' theme and then decided to run with it a few miles. Expect hay wagons, pitchforks and a menu full of gut-busting Ukrainian favourites, such as deruny (potato fritters), golubtsy (stuffed cabbage leaves), vareniki (cherry dumplings) and salo (lard). Service sometimes moves at a glacial pace.
