  • 4/5 Mohammed A. 1 year ago on Google
    When I first saw this place, I googled it immediately since it has an eye-catching outer design. I'd classify this restaurant as fine dining style. The atmosphere is very warm and cozy with old style decor. The staff didn't speak English, but it wasn't a problem at all when it came to ordering food. The restaurant's cuisine is pure Azari. Food was cooked beautifully. Everything was served as expected. There wasn't any wow factor to me personally. Maybe because I've been to many Azari restaurants before this one on my trip. I still enjoyed my food, especially their traditional "Piti". I highly recommend trying this dish. Prices are okay.

    For our group of 12, the restaurant did an excellent job of providing efficient but leisurely service. Food was interesting and tasty, and most were very pleased.

    Very nice place! The decor is beautiful! Drawings on the ceiling and the traditional carpets on the floor and the views of the mountains surrounding shaki make the place an amazing place to sit in and enjoy your tea. It is cosy and comfortable making you feel at home. Service is very good and the staff are friendly and helpful and the prices are reasonable. Tried the galian/shisha and it was very nice. Highly recommend in shaki.

  • 4/5 Tamás Velkei (. 1 year ago on Google
    Very pleasant, authentic restaurant of the more demanding variety. Beautiful and huge interior, but there is also a large terrace. Entrance from the side, at the top of the stairs. One of the most famous restarurant to try the local specialty, Şəki pitisi. Try Şəki pitisi carefully, the meat is very tallowed and unseasoned compared to western flavors. At the same time, they add raw salads and raw spices and sumac. The added pickles are very salty and sour for western tastes (pickles should be eaten in Hungary). Their fried letcho meat on iron is very delicious (although I would make it with less oil). Prices are average locally, the service is good. Get ready to pay in cash. -- The meaning of the stars: ⭐️ It doesn't even meet the minimum: it's not recommended at all! ⭐️⭐️ It's barely enough: it's not recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Average, worth exactly what you ask for: not a bad decision! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Better than you expect: definitely recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstandingly, unprecedentedly good: not to be missed!

    I came all the way from Pakistan to experience this exotic tasty food. We tried their meat Qutab, beef with yoghurt, adnaa kbaaab and minced dumplings girze. The food was so fresh and mouthful of taste.

    Big, lively place. Wide selection of local and some international dishes; one of the few restaurants in Sheki where you can order Shah Plov, which was decent.

    After a bad experience with breakfast in our hotel I found this restaurant and had a perfect breakfast for a reasonable price. They serve sets for two and four persons. 25 azn is the price for two and 40 azn is the price for four persons. We had a set for two, which had everything we could imagine in local breakfast.

  • 1/5 Doktor (. 7 months ago on Google
    It is a well known restaurant with nice interior design of local elements. However, the bathroom was not clean and water was not coming out of taps, very annoying and bad. Food was OK but of course not the best in Shaki. Compote was spoiled and I complained about it and asked to replace. But they brought the same compote the second time. Very disrespectful. Prices were on average the same with other restaurants. Service fee was included into the bill but I was not happy about it at all. Overall if they improve their service, show respect to customers and deliver quality food it an OK restaurant. But with the given status I never come back here and do not suggest visiting.

    The hotel looks extraordinary and has a beautiful interior, but it is very cheap for its looks.

  • 5/5 Seima S. 4 months ago on Google
    Thank you so much for the wonderful service and amazing food. I had a great time here. There was a staff who was fluent in English. He helped us a lot with translation. Food is affordable and delicious. Interior is gorgeous.

  • 3/5 abu a. 5 months ago on Google
    Heavily decorated luxurious restaurant in Sheki befitting its name. A place for private dining with private rooms. Courtyard with many maple 🍁 trees on some floor. Too many stairs maybe more than 200 steps to climb to reach the dining area. Not suitable for people with problem walking.

  • 4/5 Aykut P. 9 months ago on Google
    We ate Piti here before leaving for Baku. This is like last stop before leaving Sheki and you can find most of the things you need. We ate Piti and it was very good but not the best, Qaqarin has the best Piti 🙂But this place has a rich menu, good atmosphere and it was cool even if it was 40 degrees outside. It is a bit pricey but everywhere is when you use Turkish lira 🙃

  • 5/5 Anuša G. 9 months ago on Google
    Probably the best restaurant in Sheki if you're looking for indigenous cuisine to enjoy in a beautiful, well-kept setting. The staff are very friendly and and although foreign language skills are not their strong point, they go out of their way to make sure that they satisfy the guest.

  • 4/5 Redwan H. 9 months ago on Google
    Good food and service, waiters are very friendly and the service was quick, portions are bit small compared to images in the menu (that seems to be a common issue in Sheki). Lot of people were smoking and not family oriented though.

  • 5/5 Daren R. 1 year ago on Google
    by far nicest place in town to dine. ate upstairs one night in more formal dining area and again next night down in shisha lounge. owner should be commended for creating such a great environment and has become focal point in Sheki

  • 1/5 Anar G. 1 year ago on Google
    Unfortunately this place went from being a very nice restaurant to the worst place ever. Quality of food is bad and they serve old leftovers. We called and talked to the owner but he does not seem to be interested in customer service. We are not going back and does not recommend this place to others.

  • 4/5 Polad R. 4 years ago on Google
    So delicious. We liked that place. Littlebit far from city center, but you should try here some local dishes. I recomend.

  • 4/5 Azer B. 4 years ago on Google
    The place has a nice design. You feel like in the middle of 16-17th century. They have inside and outside seats. I had piti there. It was fast and delicious. Highly recommended
