Outstanding. The place is lively and friendly, the service is on point. Everything we ate was incredible, from the bread they put down at the beginning, the borscht, chicken lulya kebabs, to the guru ningal. Can’t wait to return and try more of the menu. Amazing restaurant, run to try it if you haven’t yet.

Have been here multiple times, once as a group of 5 and few times with groups of 20+. The staff is very accommodating and the service is great. The menu is great for lunch/dinner but it also worked for our group for brunch. Food is delicious and the portions and cost are fair. The appetizers are typically good for 2-3 people. They also have a small outdoor dining area but some may not like it as it is in a section of their limited space parking lot. This area gets lots of traffic so even though it is small, it helps that they have a parking lot. Would recommend.

Ambiance (4/5): The restaurant is located a little farther from the street, almost inside a parking lot, within a small homey dining lodge. I felt like I was inside someone’s home and felt welcomed and comfortable. Not loud and well lit. Service (5/5): We came at an off hour during the weekend around 1:30pm there was still around 6 parties dining in. The staff provided good recommendations and good service. When asked for water without any lemon slices, they provided bottled water at no extra cost! Food: (4/5) – rated New York Times top 100 Best Restaurants in New York City in 2025 Every dish

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!
