We treat food with respect and mix different styles and high-quality ingredients. Dishes are inspected thoroughly that is why all ingredients on the plate supplement each other.

Throughout the 20 years of its existence, BATT Corporation has consistently provided assistance to the sick and needy, to WWII veterans and to orphaned children. Corporate Social Responsibility has always been one of the priority directions of the company. A number of mosques and churches have been built in different regions of Kazakhstan. The Orphanage No 8 and Children’s Home No 3 have been under the patronage of the company for many years. Two years ago, BATT Corporation became the founder of the British Haileybury school in Kazakhstan, the goal of which is not only to provide the children of Kazakhstan with high class British education, but also to redirect all the profits of the school towards grants to children in need with special capabilities throughout Kazakhstan. The next logical step in this educational direction was fulfilled with the opening of a British nursery school in the country.

10 years ago, BATT Corporation established the “Holy Sounds” charitable foundation within a global network, the goal of which was to raise awareness levels between people of different cultures through the medium of music. Currently, the philanthropic direction of the company is prolific in the participation and support of globally famous welfare funds including Cinema Against AIDS sponsored by Sharon Stone, the Elton John AIDS Foundation and the Prince’s Foundation for Children and the Arts (patronised by the Prince of Wales).
