In cafes, service of 10-15% is usually included on the bill, however this does not go directly to the waiter, he gets only salary. Usually the amount is rounded up and If you are very content with the service you can leave some tip. Guides do not expect tips from you, if you are happy with their services, they will certainly appreciate a little tip.
Yes, Kazakhstan is the only Central Asian country that has real Starbucks in big cities. Outside these places the best coffee you can get is an instant coffee, if you are coffee-lover we recommend taking little Italian coffee machine with you.
Astana and Almaty are very western oriented cities, you will find McDonalds, KFC and many other western chains. There are variety of Italian, Chinese and European style restaurants so it will be easy to find something that can suit your taste and needs. Outside big cities, generally Central Asia is not an ideal place for vegetarians, however you can order side dish such as plain rice, mashed potatoes and in some places, even grilled vegetables. Most of the national dishes in cafes are made with meat, predominantly mutton. In some cases, you can also alter some meals with quick noodles that can be bought in stores.
Local population is friendly and hospitable, but not very sociable. Your guide and driver will be knowledgeable locals who can answer all the questions and tell about everyday life in Kazakhstan.
