Karvan Çayxanası

Karvan Çayxanası is a traditional teahouse: strong tea, backgammon and neighbourhood spirit.

Karvan Çayxanası is a traditional teahouse: strong tea, backgammon and neighbourhood spirit. Teahouse culture is the heart of the Azerbaijani table, and here the tradition is kept as it is: unhurried talk, the armudu glass and the heat of the samovar.

The tea set arrives with a choice of preserves — walnut, fig, sour cherry, white cherry — plus lemon, raisins and national sweets. Backgammon and domino boards are always ready.

Karvan Çayxanası is in Baku at Centre, Baku. Price level: ₼. Early evening is the liveliest hour; take a courtyard-side table for a long conversation.
