Classics & dolma
Halal · veg options
Named for the dish and proud of it, Dolma serves the Azerbaijani classics in a warm, traditionally decorated family restaurant inside the Old City, with a patio looking onto the ancient wall.
There is live music most evenings and the old-Baku atmosphere is the draw — but the kitchen is serious about the dolma, with a dedicated specialist, plus kebabs, soups and desserts.
What to order
Dolma
The house specialty — vine leaves and vegetables stuffed with spiced lamb.
Plov
Saffron rice done the national way.
Kebabs
Charcoal-grilled lamb and chicken.
Baklava
To finish, with tea.
Why we send guests here
