Ever felt indecisive about what to eat and what vibe you're in the mood for? Platforma is the perfect place to wander, explore, and decide on the go. Located in the center of Almaty, this lively food court offers everything from BBQ and pizza to noodles and oysters — all under one roof.
Start with a little window shopping. The setup encourages browsing: you can walk around, check out the menus, and see what calls your name. Whether you're in the mood for something indulgent or something light, there’s always a new stall or dish to try.
In the evening, Platforma buzzes with life — it’s casual, fun, and full of energy.
Tip: Most food stalls open in the evening, so if you’re visiting during the day, only a few coffee and snack places might be available.
I’ve personally tried their pizza, bubble tea, and some healthy snacks — all great! What I love most is how Platforma keeps evolving. Every time I go, I try something new. It’s not just a food court — it’s an experience. A vibrant, ever-changing spot perfect for curious foodies.
