Old Baku

Great Azerbaijani cuisine

Best Azerbaijani Restaurant in Brooklyn I’ve ever been to . They serve a variety of traditional Azerbaijani and Jewish food from the Caucuses . ????????????????

Genuine and outstanding Azerbaijani food. Excellent ambiance and service. I thoroughly enjoyed the exquisite eggplant Old Baku salad, the sumptuous Borscht, the sweet Feijoa compott, and the aromatic black tea with lemon and Quince marmelade. I felt teletransported to the South Caucusus and I've never even been there! Great way to say Shalom to the new year 2019!

The food is extremely delicious and authentic.Only thing is that they serve some kind of white sauce with dolma instead of regular yogurt. The atmosphere and the live music was so wonderful, it just took me back home - to Azerbaijan. The staff was very friendly.
However, the bathroom and overall place was not very clean. I think this place needs some renovation.
Also there was a lady, I am not sure if manager or owner who saw me putting my leftover food in my to-go box and then yelled the waiter why he doesn't help me with that. Since I had several leftovers, I wanted to organize them by myself and that is what I told the waiter too when he approached me (even for no reason I would still keep doing it by myself after hearing her yelling). She could have just simply approach me, offer help or just can communicate to the staff politely.
Well, I am not sure if I will go back or not but if you happen to go there make sure you leave generous tip for waiter and live music person.

To the owner: Please make this place nicer and cleaner and get/provide some training on customer service. There are no many places serving such a good food. I am sure there are many Azerbaijanians, including me who are more than ready/happy to buy good Azerbaijani food and service and support the business providing that combination.

An incredibly authentic Azerbaijani experience. Has a lovely courtyard.
