"Sumakh Restaurant was the ideal choice for my birthday. The atmosphere is beautiful, with luxurious interior design that felt truly special.
My meal was fantastic: ARISHTA soup, LAMB BASDIRMA, and HOME-STYLE POTATOES, all perfectly cooked and delicious. My peach mojito was great too!
A huge thanks to the staff for their exceptional hospitality and kind service. They made the experience truly memorable.
The prices are very reasonable for such high-quality food, and meals are absolutely delicious. Plus, there's a 10% service charge, but you get a 5% discount if you pay with Visa.
Highly recommend Sumakh for a special occasion!"

"Had a wonderful dining experience at Samakh Baku. Tried the soup, traditional juices, lamb chops, kebab, fried bread, and aubergine — everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The lamb chops and kebab in particular were perfectly cooked, and the traditional juices complemented the meal so well. Great service and warm atmosphere — highly recommend if you’re looking for authentic local flavors in Baku!"
