The Good Stuff
Custom Cuts
You can request specific cuts rather than accepting random cubes or steaks, and large orders can be divided into separate packs.
Lamb Selection
Lamb is a standout, including Kazakh lamb chops, shanks and mutton that customers found tender and flavourful after cooking.
Clean Shop
Customers specifically mention a hygienic shop, with no blood or unpleasant smell around the meat.
Helpful Staff
Reviews describe the staff as polite and knowledgeable, including advice on cuts, preparation and cooking methods.
Kazakh Groceries
Beyond meat, the shop carries hard-to-find Kazakh items, including kurt, baursak, smoked meats and specialty teas.
Value
Several customers consider the prices reasonable for the quality, including one professional buyer who regularly drives from Abu Dhabi.
Tips for a Better Visit
Explain Use. For barbecue orders, tell the butcher how you plan to cook the meat; one BBQ operator warns some steaks may be too fresh for grilling.
Buy In-Store. If ordering ribs or a large quantity online, consider visiting the shop instead: one customer was unhappy with the quantity received.
Request Packing. For a family-sized order, ask for the meat to be cut into pieces and packed separately; a customer said this request was fulfilled.

The Bottom Line
Qazaq Gourmet is a meat products store in International City for shoppers looking for Kazakh meat and groceries. Reviews repeatedly point to fresh lamb and beef, including lamb chops, shanks and mutton, while horse meat and kazy give the selection a distinctly Central Asian character. One customer also singled out beef tenderloin for steaks.
The meat can be requested in a particular cut rather than as standard cubes, and a large family order was cut into pieces and packed separately exactly as requested. Customers describe the shop as clean and hygienic, with no blood or unpleasant smell, and say the staff can advise on cuts and preparation. Other shelves carry items such as kurt, baursak, smoked meats, Kazakh chocolate, Altay natural honey and suluguni cheese.
Prices are generally described as reasonable for the quality, and several reviewers specifically mention grass-fed, non-frozen meat. There are two cautions worth noting. A BBQ-business owner says some steaks may be too fresh for barbecuing, so explain your cooking plans before buying.
Another customer was unhappy with an online 4 kg rib order and recommended shopping in-store instead. A separate review reports a poor response when asking about discounts and prices, although this contrasts with the many positive service comments.
