Şirvanşah Muzey Restoran
A restaurant-museum: the classic Azerbaijani table amid thousands of antiques, live mugham and a ceremonial plov service.
The menu rests on the pillars of Azerbaijani cooking — saj-fired meat, kebab varieties, dolma and saffron plov — joined by fresh herbs, motal cheese and tandir bread. For dessert there is pakhlava and seasonal fruit; ayran, compote and brewed tea are the classic drinks. Vegetarians will find herb qutab and vegetable dishes.
Şirvanşah Muzey Restoran receives guests in Baku at Salatın Əsgərova küçəsi 86. Price level: ₼₼₼. Book ahead for evenings and weekends; larger parties should ask about private rooms.
