“If you’re a foodie like me, you’ll love this place! We came all the way from New Jersey to try authentic Azerbaijani food. The food menu has a fantastic selection of dishes, and we loved everything we tried. We only had good comments about the food. I can’t wait to come back again!”Thank you for delicious food and great service.Tsila
This is a dimensional portal to Baku if You ask me. I love it. If you have not had Azerbaijan cuisine you are missing out. It’s distinct and delicious and the atmosphere here is authentic A.F. This place is just another reason why NYC is a Foodies paradise, built into an old used-car-dealership with great success it’s a trip to another world. If You don’t dig Lamb tho, don’t bother. This is a lamb joint! And it’s outstanding.
lamb lulya kebab, chicken kataby, greek salad, mashed, all good and packed of flavor. has all thr flavor but vibes can be more similar to nargis. refreshing and tasty and came from a friends rec can def see the reason
First time trying Azerbaijan restaurant. The place is super cute and price point is great.I really like kutaby. It is. Like a soft pancake with filling. Simple but very delicious. I ordered lamb and green filling.I also ordered piti, which is a lamb soup. Very flavorful. Kompot, a boiled fruit drink, is also great. Last two items I ordered were kebab and pilaf. You can’t go wrong with kebab. Pilaf is a bit sweet for my taste. Overall 10/10 would recommend.
Being here is like being in a totally different part of the world that is not at all NYC. Entering the parking lot behind the dumpster, you don't think much of it. But the instant you walk through the door, the decor, natural wood coloring, and lighting are so transportive. Beautiful, homey space.The staff are polite and matter-of-fact.The menu is as varied as it is interesting. I'd never specifically had Azerbaijani food before so I wanted to try everything. Unfortunately it wasn't possible to order the whole menu so we got the veal tongue salad, kharcho (soup), kutaby with lamb, mother-in-law's chicken, and the butter-vanilla pastry for dessert. Everything was rich, decadent, and hearty, yet well-balanced with bright fresh cilantro, dill, and other herbs. Portions are gigantic!! And it all comes with fluffy warm fresh bread.The kutaby was definitely a standout - a small flatbread type thing with spices and a dill / yogurt sauce on the side.Definitely would come back!!
I try to be objective in my reviews. So now I’ll write everything as it is. A cafe with a hint of rustic style could still look a little more "interesting" in terms of design. Just nails driven into the wall are definitely not the only thing that should remind me of my native village... The food and table setting seemed quite contrasting to me. There are dishes that were prepared perfectly - beef shish kebab, fried liver, very tasty bread, decent vegetable salads... Grilled shrimp - the cook burned it. Fried potatoes with mushrooms are not for everyone... The cutting looked strange - for a table of more than 10 people there were 4 pieces of each type of meat on the plate... However, all the nuances of the interior and cuisine are smoothed out by the friendly and positive cafe workers. Big respect to the staff in the hall. To summarize, I want to say that the impressions of the evening were definitely not spoiled, everything was good, but this cafe definitely has something to work on to improve the situation as a whole.
First time to try this place, beautiful setting, great atmosphere, and delicious food. They offer everything from Shish-Kebab to soup and dessert! The Azerbaijani cuisine there is unique and tasteful. The lamb dishes especially the fried lamb liver are flavorful, I tried it, but it wasn’t as advertised in their photos in terms of portions and looks, That’s why I dropped the rating one star. But the Turkish bread is a must-try. The staff is friendly, and the service is prompt. Also, Get the black tea pot, it’s worth every drop of it.. Definitely, this place in general worth a visit!
