Azeri Cuisine

We were looking to try something different and stumbled up on this well-reviewed place on Google. The starters were very good - especially the Blini Beef - and our party of three each opted for the Azerbaijani Plov. It was good but arguably could have done with a little more meat-to-rice ratio. We also ordered three of them, but staff said only two could be made, which was strange as we were the first seating for a Friday dinner. Dessert wise, the Pakhlava wasn't great - I know it's the Azeri version of the Turkish classic, but it wasn't what I was expecting, it was much harder. That said, would happily recommend the restaurant for anyone looking for something a little different in London.

authentic azerbajan restaruant recomended to me by a azerbajan person so has to be good which it was the flavours are different definatley unique tasting doesnt taste like any other cuisine ive had has a sweet twist to the flavour rice and meat. and the beef pancakes amazing sorry i dont know any of the names but all of it was great enviroment is nice humble. they also have taditional tea and cake so this is defonatley aplacr to try for something different. also the tradiyional sparkling pear drink was amazing with a very good serving of it.the honey cake is wow i was speechless kind of like if a cheese cake and baklava were to get married and then moved to france and got influenced thats the best description i could give its just amazing.

My friend and I loved it! The downstairs seating area was very cozy and nicely decorated in Azerbaijani style cloths. When it was just us and another guest, it perhaps felt a little bit “exposed,” as you had to keep your voice down or you would be easily overheard. But, as people came in and a buzz of voices started, it was a great atmosphere for talking. The food itself was great! For central London table-service dining, I think it was a good price. Roughly 25 pound or so a head if you share a starter and get a main. I got the Azerbaijani Plov and thought it was delicious! Only feedback is perhaps the amount of rice as opposed to the lamb, apricot, chestnut, and raisin toppings may have been a little too rice-heavy. Picture attached. The “aubergine caviar” starter was amazing! Would 100% order that again if I went back. It came with love, soft, almost pillowy bread to eat it with. Certainly would recommend this place if someone wants to try a cuisine that isn’t too common in this part of the world! I would also go back!

Tucked away in the busy belly of Kings Cross...this peaceful little restaurant feels like a home. The service, seemingly by a mother and daughter, delivered efficiently and respectfully. The food feels like a unique take on Middle Eastern/Eastern European and is a delight to all the senses. For London, this experience is high value for money. Cannot recommend this any more. I look forward to returning again to explore more of this menu. Its nice to come home after a hard day of work.

Amazing location with a very nice design. Staff are very friendly and the food is amazing! Good place to go if you want to try something different. Tried the cabbage rolls and they were super delicious!! The walnut honey cake is the best you can find around here!!( no photo taken as it got eating very fast😅!!) Cheers to the chef!! 🙏🙏
