"Went in for a dinner night with friends. The dishes were tasting good. Ordered drinks as well, service was good and recommended.

"Great food and great choice, even vegetarians can find something very nice to eat. Fantastic service the waiters are so nice and food is served very quickly. They are trying to accommodate big groups to sit together, some of them speak very good English and the atmosphere is very nice. There is a life music most of the time. The prices are good too. I recommend this restaurant to anyone and location is very good as well near the main square in Baku."

"Everything about this place is fabulous! The food is super tasty (and big in portions), service is impeccable and atmosphere lovely. During our stay we went there 3 times. The first evening there were no sweets available (for some reason) but they offered to prepare us an ad hoc dessert which was simply lovely. When in Baku, come here, you will not regret it!"
