One of the best venues to try this is Firuze Restaurant, located in Fountain Square. The restaurant’s chef Sahib Memmedov explains that the dish is prepared by arranging lamb ribs in a crownlike manner and filling this structure with a mixture of pre-cooked rice, figs, dried apricots and vegetables, before baking to perfection. According to Chef Memmedov, the dish is best served with choban salad and fresh vegetables, and could be complemented with either cornelian cherry compote or red wine.

Founded in 1986, the Firuze Restaurant is a legendary spot that serves its visitors a wide range of both national and European cuisine.

Close to Baku’s beautiful old town is the Fountain Square, surrounded by Western chains such as Mcdonalds and KFC, as well as a few tourist traps according to rumour, and also a couple of really nice Azeri restaurants. By some reason they all (Narqiz, Firuze, Dolma) were located in cellars below ground. We tried two of them, the first being Firuze.
