Azerbaijani cuisine

• Azerbaijan cuisine

In one of the oldest streets in Baku is a restaurant-museum sharvanshah. During the last trip I met there with friends. Unusual place, if only because the restaurant is located in a former bathhouse. Inside a lot of "empty" space, where there are no tables. Instead, a large number of different exhibits of ancient artefacts and installations. Looks, of course, beautiful, but my heart bleeds: in Dolkabare problem with the seats, and we try to use to the maximum the space of the hall.

However, the Caucasus - a place where the food and hospitality is traditionally paid a lot of attention. It is not surprising that all the conditions accompanying the kitchen trying to perform at the highest level. Under the cut a few pictures of restaurants Baku and Azerbaijani national dishes ...

Example of restaurant-museum "exhibits":

Each restaurant has a spacious common room. He definitely good musicians play inside, but the Azerbaijanis is a compromise. If you want to please attention and special treatment, be sure to make reservations a separate "office":

Here is the personal little room, though, as a rule, each of them made with individual design to emphasize the special relationship. For example, this space is called "Tailor Joseph." Inside, everything is styled with an old tailor's shop - irons, mannequin, sewing machine, etc .:.

Let's talk about the kitchen. Plov is the king of Azerbaijani cuisine. Rice is prepared separately and served with different additives. The most popular ones in the photo (left to right) - govurma (chestnuts, onions, meat, dried apricots, raisins), fisindzhan (grated walnuts, grated onion, meat or chicken meatballs, seasoning - incredibly delicious!), Chykhyrtma (fried chicken, eggs, onions), sebzi (meat and many kinds of green):
