    High quality place, looks like fine dining according to the prices and portions😅 for some things in menu I was shocked to discover how small are them compared to the price they go for. Non alcoholic cocktails around 10 azn, sushi rolls from 18 to 23 azn (for 6-8 pieces), coriander fried rice with chicken 17 azn (the portion was impressive tho! It’s one of the most popular dishes they have, I recommend to try!), tacos for 9 azn, miso soup 9 azn, the portion is very small. The atmosphere is great for dinner, the service is nice and the staff is quite helpful, the atmosphere is Id say luxurious and not that super warm and cozy (the ac was working and was a bit cold), but you can choose the table with a couch, and it has a different vibe. I liked it, would come again for sushi! It has an amazing taste you can’t stop eating. Better to make a table reservation before going 🙌🏼

    Very good Japanese/Fusion/World restaurant offering sushi, meat, salads and many more. We had sashimi and Beef which was outstanding. We also had one of the best desserts you can imagine. They also have a fine cocktail card and a nice wine selection. Interior of the place is very nice and it features a great outdoor terrace. Service is also very good for Aserbaidschan standards. It is located right next to the famous furnicular only one street crossing away from Caspian Sea.

    My husband asked to arranger flowers on the table for my birthday and management did not do it although they said they will. Some food items were really good and some are below average. Cocktails were good!

    I am travelling from Dubai and loved the experience at the place. Tip of advice: do not order the steak ( I tried the Australian Waygu) because this is an Asian cuisine: my friends who were with me had far superior dishes (ordered soup and noodles) and were priced much more reasonably.

    Do not recommend this place for dining. Food is sub-par. Ordered the rainbow roll and it came smothered in this disgusting mayo sauce and the rolls had cream cheese. No where in the menu was there any mention of cream cheese or the mayo (attached menu and bill). Told this to the waiter and he still charged me for the rainbow roll. Service is also super slow. I would never go back here.

    Really enjoyed my time here. The food is great and the staff is very friendly. Food came in a reasonable amount of time and well presented. Upscale place and the prices are low for tourists. We were 5 people and we ordered 5 starters and 5 main courses which filled us up well. The total price was 200 manat which is approximately 150 US dollars

    I proposed to my now wife, and we came to celebrate at Chinar, and since we haven’t seen each other for 4 months and got just engaged we we were hugging and kissing each other. And not only the staff embarrassed us in front of other customers for kissing in the restaurant but the manager almost threatened us if we’d continue sitting too close to each other and kiss. Even after telling him that we just got engaged and came to celebrate he didn’t emphasise, show understanding and apologise. We left quite unhappy and frustrated without leaving any tips. They ran after us asking for tips,which caused double frustration. Food is fine but pricey and the staff is not very professional, and management is not experienced in handling sensitive situations.

Our gastronomic exploration featured an array of dishes, starting with the walk chicken and wok shrimps tempura for appetizers, followed by beef skewers and vegetable fried rice as the main course. The culinary symphony that unfolded on our table was nothing short of amazing, a testament to the chef's skillful execution and dedication to delivering exceptional flavors. The wok chicken and wok shrimp tempura set the tone for the evening, offering a tantalizing preview of the culinary delights to come. The juxtaposition of textures and flavors in the beef skewers and the aromatic appeal of the vegetable fried rice showcased a meticulous attention to detail in each preparation. Complementing the outstanding cuisine, the service at Chinar Restaurant was stellar. The staff's attentiveness and friendliness added to the overall positive experience, creating an atmosphere that resonated with warmth and hospitality. The seamless coordination from the moment we stepped in until the last bite exemplified a commitment to exceptional customer service. The restaurant's ambiance further elevated the dining experience. The fantastic atmosphere provided a perfect backdrop to our culinary adventure, making the evening at Chinar Restaurant not just a meal but a memorable event. In conclusion, Chinar Restaurant in Baku stands as a beacon of gastronomic excellence, where superb food, impeccable service, and a delightful atmosphere converge to create a dining experience that lingers in the memory.

    Average Dining Experience. I visited the restaurant recently and found the overall experience to be average. The ambiance is pleasant, and the Tom Yum soup stood out as a highlight. However, the rest of the menu was nothing special, and I noticed an excessive use of soy sauce, making the dishes saltier than preferred.

    The food was the best I've tasted in Baku. The atmosphere is great until the turn up the music so high that you can't speak to your neighbors at the table so go early eveningthen elsewhere after. We were unlucky with our waiter because others seemed to be good

  • 2/5 Bertrand N. 4 years ago on Google
    The interior decor, customer service and hospitality is top notch. The waitress told me that this is a restaurant that specializes in pan-Asian cuisine, namely Malaysian, Thai and Singapore and perhaps Japanese. However, the food didn’t work for me. I order a Japanese style seaweed salad, a shrimp and spinach salad and miso cod. All 3 dishes were overly seasoned. The salad was overpowered by the large amount of soy sauce and so was the miso cod. I’d rate everything else 4 stars but only 2 stars for the food.

    Amazing Asian cuisine! I am from Dubai and I have come here for a vacation. Best Asian food available in Baku! A must come place for all tourists especially! Try their Nasi Goreng, Tokyo Chicken dumpling, and Green Curry!

  • 1/5 Tariq A. 1 year ago on Google
    If you appreciate good quality, fresh sushi, should avoid this place. Fish was dry and hard with dark edges. Restaurant made excuses as to how this is how the sushi is when it reaches Baku. Strange service, food arrived very late after chasing multiple times and reminding them of orders. Very disappointing considering the prices and caliber of restaurant.

  • 4/5 גיא �. 7 months ago on Google
    Some of the dishes are unique and amazing, the liver ice cream, curry duck, yellowtail carpaccios, shrimp popcorn, Tom yam - those dishes was excellent! Other dishes had regular chili sauce which feels like not a chef restaurant at all! Make sure you choose the correct ones otherwise it can go around. Service isn’t great, when the place is full there’s not enough staff and you can wait for the wine for more than 20 minutes. The atmosphere is great, good vibes! Overall recommended( but can be better.

    Chinar is an outstanding Asian resto-bar in Baku, modeled somewhat after Tao and Budakkan in New York. They have quite a few vegetarian options on the menu. I'd definitely recommend spending more time on the mains over the starters because the curries are fantastic.

    (Translated by Google) Chenar Restaurant is one of the attractions of Baku city with its beautiful design and friendly staff. Situated close to the cable train (which takes passengers from the seaside park to Baku's rooftops and flame towers) it welcomes many customers. The price of the food is high at Chenar Restaurant, which, given its good quality, seems reasonable. (Original) رستوران چنار با طراحی زیبا و پرسنل خوش برخورد خود، یکی از جاذبه های شهر باکو است. با قرار گرفتن در نزدیکی قطار کابلی (که مسافران را از پارک ساحلی به بام باکو و برج های شعله می رساند) پذیرای مشتریان بسیاری است. قیمت خوراک ها در رستوران چنار زیاد است که با توجه به کیفیت خوب آن معقول به نظر می رسد.
