    Food is delicious but service is below average, you call waiter for something after order and they heard you and act they didn't hear anything. Only waiter who take your order come for tips.. Weird !

    8 manat for mangal salat!!! (2m normal price) 4 manat for small sprite!!! (1-2 m normal price in restaurants and 60 cents in the stores) I didn't ask for bread but they serve it anyway for extra check 4 m!!! (30-60 cents in the shops) Shame on you for the robbery of your costumers with such a high prices!!! Even for the locals!

    Not worth the VERY expensive cost they con you for and staff are dishonest, so many restaurants are much better. The ribs looked like somebody had already eaten all the meat and left a strip of meat on the bones. I went to Metropol today for breakfast and they have much more reasonable prices. Overall, DO NOT GO HERE.(check your bill at the end and doubt them)

    The food is not good! The service is very bad! They didn’t accept credit while they acutely have the pos machine. They will force you to withdraw from the ATM. On top of that it is very expensive! Really disappointed and bad experience!

    The best restaurant in Baku for meat lovers. You have to try Baklava as you will never forget it as the best sweet ever. You will be lucky if Jaffar serves you a very funny and friendly person.

    Hands down best traditional food in Baku . Ugrun is an excellent and hospitable waiter. We had wonderful breakfast and lunch in traditional ambiance.

  • 5/5 Younus T. 8 months ago on Google • 29 reviews
    I had an absolutely wonderful experience at this restaurant. The kebabs were juicy and packed with delicious flavors. However, I noticed that each time I ordered plav, I received the same dish, which was a bit disappointing. The drink, which I believe is called compat or campot (apologies for not being sure about the correct pronunciation), was incredibly tasty and had a soothing quality that brought a sense of tranquility. What truly impressed me was the honesty of the staff. Despite having the opportunity, they chose not to scam me. The waiter honestly explained the menu, which was a refreshing change from my unfortunate encounter at Çay Bağı 145 restaurant, where I was scammed for just 16 AZN.

    A restaurant in old Baku with delicious food Their service is fast, even though the restaurant is crowded, God willing Their reception is amazing Shah Plov 10/10 It's like it's our Saudi right 😄 Delicious menu 10/10 Delicious chicken kebab that melts in the mouth 10/10 Delicious fresh orange juice 😍

    Food was salty and oily. Do not accept card for payment. Horrible that we have to find atm machine just to get cash and other atm machine doesn't detect our card. And then we came back to inform them that our card is not working with the atm machine, they asked to wait as they will bring card machine for payment.

  • 1/5 Tahir S. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is a scam, they show you one dish on the menu, and when the bill comes they charge each items included in the dish individually and rip you off! Does not even take card payment. Plus the customer service is not good either.

  • 1/5 Amna 1 year ago on Google
    Very bad experience, unprofessional staff and unprofessional behaviour. Staff and especially the manager is not respectful. I placed the order and sat for 10 minutes but then I cancelled the order and decided to leave because of the behaviour of the staff and colleagues. I would not recommend it to any one, they don’t deserve 1 star even. Also they are scammers when they see tourists. تعامل سيئ جداً و غير محترم.

  • 1/5 Bilal A. 1 year ago on Google
    Scamers, Very expensive, below average, they will not tell you the actual price of the food, in the menu then price will be different and in yhe bill the price will be different it will surprise you. Please vist other restaurants. Old Manqal Restaurant is very expensive compared to the other restaurants next to it. It has 2 menus 1 for tourists and 1 for the locals. Normal breakfast is for 20 manat, they charge 85 manat. In which includes: 20 gram honey, cream, cheese, labnah, olives, jam ,tea and egg. Once you will see there menu you will feel it's cheaper, but when bill comes you will be surprised. Same food you will get for 20 mannat in the neabouring restaurants. They are Ali baba with tourists. Never visit Old Manqal Restaurant. December 2022

  • 3/5 Shehrazad F. 1 year ago on Google
    Had breakfast staff was very sweet and spoke Arabic. Food was nice we paid 100 manat for 2 persons what is a bit overpriced for the place.

    (Translated by Google) Chicken noodles were delicious. Salads were good too. The service level is normal. But the waiters are not in the hall. It's a cet to call them. I was able to sleep alone at night. I only wanted chicken in the chicken cabin. The waitress, Evvel said, is getting a cat. But then he fulfilled our request. Gore is 5 * shower. 1 star silmeyimim sebebi is music. It would be a great choice for my music and the evening of Baku. There is no place for Turkish music and esasen de Royan. You can't customize your location and cuisine !!! (Original) Toyuq kababi dadli idi. Salatlar da yaxshi idi. Xidmet seviyyesi normaldir. Lakin ofisiantlarin fikri zalda deyil. Onlari cagirmaq cetindir. Yalniz yanimdan kecende cagira bilirdim. Toyuq kababinda toyugun ancaq ag etini istedim. Ofisiant evvel dedi ki qarishiq olur. Amma sonra isteyimizi icra etdi. Buna gore 5 * dushur. 1 ulduzu silmeyimim sebebi ise musiqidir. Musiqini qedim shehere ve Bakinin kecmishine uygun secsez lap ela olardi. Burada turk musiqilerinin ve esasen de Royanin hec yeri yoxdur. Bir sozle yere ve yemeklere soz ola bilmez!!!

    Beware of this restaurant in Old Town! We were charged 80 AZN for a breakfast for two, which seemed excessively priced. You get similar breakfast @ other places for 25. Additionally, items were added to our order without our consent. When we questioned, the staff reacted aggressively. Also, note that they do not accept card payments.

    DON'T EVER try this restaurant, they scam tourist, first by asking for Cash payment although Card and Wifi payments logo is there on the restaurant entrance, prices are too High. Avoid visiting this restaurant and avoid their scam.
