    Very delicious! And great selection of traditional food. The only thing I think the owner should pay attention to is that some waiters do not understand English very well, which made it a bit difficult to order food.

    A must try if you are visiting Baku and want to have an authentic taste of the local dishes! The restaurant is traditionally decorated with beautiful artwork and carpets. You can tell that there's been paid attention to detail! The waiters are kind and accommodating, and everything was brought to our table really fast! The food was great, both taste and quality wise. The portions are filling and the prices rational. The only "problem" is that it's not located in the Old Town or the most central part of Baku, however it is easily & cheaply accessible with a taxi.

    Good place to eat with authentic interior. The service is rather slow, but food is good and price are not high. The dishes weren’t served in the order to my plov was waiting on table until I had soup. Still it’s a good place to have a dinner and enjoy food and music

    This restaurant is MUST to visit when in Baku. 1st of all and most important, they serve traditional food deep rooted from 16th century that is excellent, sophisticated, balanced, tasty and great looking. Each dish is a piece of Art. Attention: The sweets collection has separate menu book! 2nd: the interior with intricating elements is taking you to the ancient times. 3d: the staff became your guides to the history of the famous ruler and almost museum collection of artifacts and the life of ancient empire. Surprise: the bill is not high!

    My favorite place in Baku. The most delicious shashlyk, meat is soft and cooked in many’s variations of marinade, Piti soup is perfect, and what kind of homemade pomegranate wine is served there. The owner meets personally, tells the history of the restaurant. Very warm welcome and friendly place. Highly highly highly recommend dining here. I want to come back here many times.

    Excellent customer service, friendly waiter and restaurant director spoke to us in a very nice way. The food quality was great, what I would recommend to try are definitely different kinds of kutabs (with chestnut, with camel meat, with cheese and with greens) dovga soup and lula kebab were very tasty as well. Definitely one of the best places to eat in Baku. The prices are accurate to the food quantity and quality as well as their service standard.

    It a bit far from the place I stayed but it’s totally worth going there. It’s not crowded like other restaurants in the center. So you can enjoy your food in the quiet place. The food and service is amazing. Best meat Qutab and Lulya kebab. I will def recommend this place to my friends.

  • 5/5 Виталий �. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) After returning from Yanardag on the way to our route, there was the square and the center of Heydar Aliyev, and then we went to the Shahrestaurant to eat, get warm and relax. They wanted to try the kutabs, which according to reviews are the best, soup with little dumplings, and continue to eat dolma. Kutaby and soup just magic, and drlma too. They took the usual lamb in vine leaves and mutton with rice in linden leaves very interesting and tasty. We ordered some wines, drank some more, and they gave us a glass in our padarok. We advise everyone! (Original) После возвращения с Янардага по пути нашего следования была площадь и центр Гейдара Алиева, а далее, что бы покушать, согреться и отдохнуть мы пошли в Shahrestaurant. Хотели попробовать кутабы, которые по отзывам тут лучшие, суп с малюсинькими пельмешками, и продолжить кушать долму. Кутабы и суп просто волшебные, а дрлма тоже. Взяли обычную баранина в виноградныз листьях и бараниеа с рисом в листьях липы очень интересно и вкусно. Заказали вина, выпили заказали еще, а нам еще в падарок по бокальчику дали. Всем советуем!

    I don't know why this place isn't all the rage on Instagram! One way you feel that it isn't so that you can enjoy the amazing food and atmosphere in peace but then you feel bad that such a nice place isn't getting the attention it needs. But one thing is sure: anyone who go there, always always go there for the second time even if the stay is short.

    Best place I've been to in Baku. Everything starting from service to a compliment glass of wine from the restaurant, to an owner coming and telling the story of the place. Food, drinks... literally everything was amazing. Will definetly be back and will suggest this lovely restaurant to everyone who visits Baku. Loved it

  • 3/5 Лия �. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) This was the 3rd restaurant in Baku that we got to. The atmosphere is pleasant and colorful. The service especially pleased us: we were treated to delicious wine for free, the waiter and the director were always wondering if everything was fine. This is, of course, very nice. However, the kitchen did not like the word at all. The Mangal salad turned out to be bland, we had tried it in two places before and the difference is quite understandable. The fish dish that was claimed to be "red" tasted like tuna pate. In general, I want to say that either the chef was not in the mood, or they always cook like that here ... I don't know. 3 out of 5 for service, interior and wine. (Original) Это был 3 ресторан в Баку, в который мы попали. Атмосфера приятная, колоритная. Сервис особенно порадовал: нас бесплатно угостили вкусным вином, официант и директор все время интересовались все ли хорошо. Это, конечно, очень приятно. Однако кухня не понравилась от слова совсем. Салат Мангал оказался пресным, мы пробовали его до этого в двух местах и разницу понять вполне можно. Блюдо с рыбой, которая была заявлена как "красная", на вкус показалась как паштет из тунца. В целом хочу сказать, что либо повар был не в настроении, либо тут так всегда готовят... не знаю. 3 из 5 за сервис, интерьер и вино.

    (Translated by Google) We got into it by accident and were absolutely satisfied with the quality of food and the price, and most importantly, the attitude. Director Anar was remarkably and unobtrusively attentive. The dinner began with a complement from the establishment - a glass of wine and ended with a fascinating story about the historical personality of Shah Ismail, after whom the restaurant is named. Summary: delicious, calm music does not interfere with communication, the prices are humane, the menu is in Russian with a full description of the dish and a photograph, a very attentive and respectful attitude towards customers. (Original) Попали в него случайно и остались абсолютно довольны и качеством еды и ценой, а самое главное отношением. Директор Анар был замечательно и ненавязчиво внимателен. Обед начался комлементом от заведения - бокалом вина и завершился увлекательным рассказом о исторической личности Шахе Исмаиле, в честь которого назван ресторан. Резюме: вкусно, спокойная музыка не мешает общению, цены гуманные, меню и на русском языке с полным описанием блюда и фотографией, очень внимательное и уважительное отношение к клиентам.
