Petrovski's Atyrau Kazakhstan: Lively atmosphere,slow service but food good
lennyboo Says: Busy resaturant and part of Chagala group in Atyrau.Do good value Business lunches and the Thai chicken with cashews is tasty rather than hot. Tahi Chicken
Petroski restuarant: Poor food and slow service
mpscuk Says: The Petroski is clean i give it that, but the food has no flavour and really not nice, i had a ginger lamb thai curry, the lamb was full of gristle i left all of the meat, i couldnt taste anything at all Thai about it and the rice was the only thing i ate, will never return
davido7236 Says: Nice modern restaurant. Spacious, clean, seems busy and the menu is varied - pasta, pizza, fajitas, curries, Chinese meals and various other cuisines. Good choice of drinks. I got a fajita meal for 1600 tenge or so (1000 Tenge is about USD$8 currently) and some Baltica beer....
Jules2102 Says: On a lunch time they serve a Business lunch Buffet.... many dishes salads and breads to choose from around 1500 tengiI choose from the menu, a mass to choose from. And all the dishes ive had up to now have been to my requirement as you are asked how Hot/ Spicey you would...

Petrovski: Atyrau`s top resturant!
ThereseKL Says: This is deffinitley the best resturant in Atyrau! They serve high quality food from all over the world. The service is the best, and the food i delicious. The interior is very modern, and you will fell welcome just as you step trough the door. And just to mention, i think...
Jules2102 Says: Heres where you come for a pint and the sport, about 5/6 TV , 3 of which are lge screen.Beer cold, staff friendly,Food ok. Fat Chips
davido7236 Says: Tengri Hotel near Azzatyk Avenue. The bar was nice - live music on the Wednesday I went there. Quite bizarre - at one point the singer was playing some romantic song while a video of Britney Spears was playing behind him (in a school uniform). However the beer is good - cold...
The Stamford Bar and Myak nightclub.: Hmmmmmm A little bit of the UK
globaltramp Says: Theres a bar down stairs that goes by the name of "the Samford" - its modelled on a traditional English pub - a few tables and lots of standing room.Upstairs is the nightclub/disco called the Myak. Again a few tables, lots of standing room and a split dance floor. The raised...
nateshatama Says: We were living in Atyrau for 3 years so we kinda know how to go around this town. First, this is not a tourist destination, mostly it's the spot where you join your spouse working at Oil Industry such as TCO, AGIP, Schlumberger etc. So you had better take a preparation to...
nomadish Says: Very nice route along the river ural, very good for walking too (not sure about in winter though!) But no bike shops here so briing your own wheels
ThereseKL Says: The local busses is very often crowded, and if you are so unlucky to not get a seat, you will have to stand in a very uncomfortable position. But this is even though the cheapest way to get around town. The price for one ride is 25T (aprox. 0,2$) , and they leave every...
ThereseKL Says: If you want to go shopping, the marked is the best place to go. Its location is next to the trainstation, and this is a huge marked! Here you can find everyting from belts, pretty dresses, food, purses and fake puma shoes. The prices is cheaper than at the shoppingcenters,...
davido7236 Says: A friend stood on a manhole cover in Atyrau and fell down a very deep hole (over 1 meter) and injuring his leg. These are sometimes unsecured since people (kids) open them up but don't properly replace them. In addition it's fairly common to find holes of various types in...
ThereseKL Says: All that Western money has caused resentment among young Kazakhs. The fact that there has been built an "American city" in the center of Atyrau, is very unpopular among the local people. So if you are from/or look like an American, you should be extra careful when you are...
ThereseKL Says: - A lot of luggageroom if you plan to go to the marked. - A lot of clothes, cause the laudryservice is expensive and hard to find... - "Mosquito Spray"!!!! - Digital camera - Mosquito net - Sun glasses
Vea Says: While there is a holiday outisde. You'll see alot of yurts being built outside and people where national kazakh outfits.
Vea Says: The spring festival of Nauryz ('New Days') is by far the biggest holiday. It's an Islamic adaptation of pre-Islamic vernal equinox or renewal celebrations and can include traditional games, music and drama festivals, street art and colourful fairs.
Vea Says: Fishing in Atyrau is very popular. Especially ice fishing! And it doesn't matter how cold it is! A couple of fishing-rods
