Guests can enjoy aromatic tea with baklava, adding to the memorable experience. Service at The Lights of Baku is exceptional; the staff is welcoming, attentive, and eager to help, especially if visitors are new to Azerbaijani cuisine.

It is a true gem for those who appreciate places with soul and character, where visitors can savor every bite and soak in the vibrant ambiance of old Baku.
