"Big Wow...
An older gentleman invited us to the restaurant. I usually don't fall for such actions. This time, we were so hungry and didn't feel like looking for another place. The place is really worth recommending.
The service was very nice - especially the waiter named PASHA. He told us, advised and hit on "10".
All the staff were very helpful - the highest culture and they always want to serve but it's not intrusive. I really recommend it with a clear conscience. The prices are very affordable, the place is clean and has a very nice atmosphere...
If you want to eat well in Baku in the Old Town, then definitely go to -->> OLD GARDEN RESTAURANT"

"From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the warm lighting, traditional decor, and the relaxing garden ambiance. The food? Absolutely delicious — from the juicy lamb chops to the perfectly wrapped dolma, every dish was packed with authentic flavor. The tea and dried fruits were a lovely touch, and the hookah with a fresh fruit head made the experience even more special.
The service was outstanding — attentive without being intrusive. Whether you’re with friends, family, or flying solo like I was, this is the kind of place that welcomes you with open arms and a cozy cushion. Highly recommend!"

"Very nice garden setting, knew we had to try when we stumble upon the place. If not for the chill air it’s would be perfect to sit on the garden. The staff are very attentive and good in proposing complimenting bread and wine. The pomegranate wine is very nice, however also realised every dish had pomegranate in them. We had the interesting Lamb and Chestnut soup, and also saw the baked rice being served. Very interesting experience overall."
