Decent Plov — nothing more, nothing less

Plov at this place was fine. The richly layered flavour was there but not distinguished. chess herbs (dill, parsley, tarragon, mint) was present in the right quantities but without the care that makes the difference. You can taste when something is being made to a formula.

Azerbaijani cuisine reflects Turkic, Persian, and Caucasian influences meeting at a historical crossroads. The a Caspian seafood restaurant setting was generic rather than immersive. armudu black tea was offered but not explained. If you're in the area and want Plov it'll do. If you're going out of your way, look elsewhere.
