Chinar

Pan-Asian cooking and one of the city’s most stylish terraces: by night the restaurant turns into a lounge.

Pan-Asian cooking and one of the city’s most stylish terraces: by night the restaurant turns into a lounge. The concept is simple: local produce, respect for tradition and an honest attitude to the table. Meals here are lived slowly, in the culture of the long feast.

The menu rests on the pillars of Azerbaijani cooking — saj-fired meat, kebab varieties, dolma and saffron plov — joined by fresh herbs, motal cheese and tandir bread. For dessert there is pakhlava and seasonal fruit; ayran, compote and brewed tea are the classic drinks. Vegetarians will find herb qutab and vegetable dishes.

Chinar receives guests in Baku at Şövkət Ələkbərova küçəsi 1. Price level: ₼₼₼₼. Book ahead for evenings and weekends; larger parties should ask about private rooms.
