Our story
From a tiny kitchen to a network of branches
Qulpynai started with a small kitchen and a big idea — make favorite dishes accessible to everyone. We opened our first branch in 2018, and within a few months we understood what really matters: ingredient quality and care for the people who eat our food.
Today we are known in several cities across Kazakhstan. We have grown, but we kept the recipes, the team and the approach to sourcing exactly the same. Every dish is personally signed off by our head chef, and every order is packed so it arrives the way it was meant to.
We keep learning from our guests. Every review is a reason to refine the process, try a new recipe or open a branch closer to you.
