We recently visited this restaurant, and the impressions were extremely positive. The place is large and cozy, there is a spacious territory and a huge Parking lot.
The menu is great! Azerbaijani cuisine at its best. We came first of all for the main dish — shah pilaf, and we made no mistake with the choice. The pilaf lived up to expectations: fragrant, with the perfect consistency of rice, with meat, and they were also perfectly complemented by dried fruits. He was served traditional snacks — dolma and suluguni on the grill, which also did not leave anyone indifferent.
The service is excellent — attentive waiters, not intrusive, but always there if necessary. The atmosphere in the restaurant is pleasant.
I will definitely come back and recommend everyone to try this place if you want to enjoy real Azerbaijani cuisine!

The most gorgeous restaurant, excellent cuisine, amazing service! Unique views!
I don't recommend it, I just insist on getting here! The staff is bustling with their work. A pleasant bonus was congratulating me on blowing out the candle, with congratulations from the institution - it's unforgettable. The menu is huge, but it's convenient to choose on the tablet, and my daughter was happy to play. Everything is for people, as they say.
The impressions of the visit were vivid and unforgettable. The atmosphere is gorgeous, everything is very beautiful.

We would like to express our deep gratitude to Evgenia's manager, pastry chef Vesta, bartender Evgeny and all the employees of the Astoria restaurant for the amazing corporate birthday of our company, which took place on February 6, 2025!
Competent organization, delicious dishes and a wonderful cake complemented the already excellent atmosphere of the event.
Catering deserves special praise! The menu was varied and delicious, and the service was top notch. All the guests were well-fed and satisfied, which is also important for the overall impression.
I was also pleased that there was enough space for all 120+ guests, and no one felt cramped.
Thank you for your professionalism, creativity and attention to detail. This anniversary will definitely be remembered for a long time, and in many ways thanks to you!

Beautiful interior, original dishes, located in a rather picturesque place. Authentic Azerbaijani cuisine, cultural chefs. The chef is just super, a high-level professional and just a great guy. I especially recommend their beach houses. Although it's a bit expensive.

A very pleasant place. First of all, I will note the interior - it is comfortable both in the hall and on the terrace. It is convenient that there is a division into smoking and non-smoking zones.
In the kitchen, everything that was ordered is delicious. Eggplant caviar is just amazing!
While we were making an order, it seemed that we would have to finish ordering something else from the hot, in fact, not even all the things we ordered could be eaten right away.
The cost is above average. Get ready to beat the piggy bank)
The service is close to perfect, the waiters are polite and as tactful as possible.
One of the great advantages of the establishment is the distance between the tables on the terrace.

The restaurant is weird. It is located in a very beautiful place, with a beautiful view of the lake. The room is spacious, but the furniture could be newer and cleaner. The staff is polite.
A strange way to order: you select dishes on a tablet, call the waiter and show him. You cannot call the waiter via the tablet.
The choice of dishes is not too big. The food may be cooked well, or it may be strange or incomplete. With such a high price tag, you expect more delicious food and better service.

Excellent restaurant of Azerbaijani cuisine. The interior is for 5+. Food for 5-. Parking is normal, service is Caucasian show-off. One of my favorite restaurants when you need to eat barbecue. The prices are quite high, but within the bounds of decency.

The interior is inviting. Overall, the atmosphere is cozy. There is a winter garden. The furniture is new. The service is respectful. The waiters are mostly men. There are, well, very timid or maybe even inexperienced. I didn't know which way to approach us. It seemed so to us. The kitchen is exclusive. The plates are large and the portions are modest.

1.02.25 I was in this charming place. I ordered tar tar, I really liked it. The dessert was Belgian chocolate, but surprisingly, the rib-eye steak surprised, upset, lived through the whole piece, the fat on a third of the piece, the roasting of only the medicine from this dish was good, the taste and texture were terrible. This is the first time I've eaten the tastiest rib eye! A warm salad with roast beef (overdried) and filled with sauce to hide it-it is impossible to eat, when asked by the waiter why lime in beer (crown) there was a laugh like we ignoramuses don't know the secret!

We have been holding a corporate party for two years in a row!
Will the third one come back? Definitely! And the fourth, and the fifth.
Everything is gorgeous.
The banquet manager is sympathetic and polite.
The staff serves you clearly and unobtrusively.
The entourage of the "garden" in the lobby is fascinating.

Location -5. Excellent view of Komsomolsk Lake from the terrace. A large area. Convenient parking.
Food -4. Mainly oriental cuisine. Excellent pilaf, but I expected the best from the barbecue. It's too dry.
Interior -4. In general, everything is fine, but everything is spoiled by the abundance of artificial flowers.
Service-4. Order via tablet. The staff is polite and attentive, but the waiter should approach customers more often.

Sooooo pleasant, comfortable, beautiful environment. Beautiful, pleasant territory. Decent parking. There are no complaints about the kitchen. But I want a highlight. All the dishes are ordinary. It will be the same in the next canteen. Taking into account the prices, the service can be improved. Until you ask for it, the plates will not be removed from you (in my case). A suitable place for pretentious meetings, that's it! It is suitable for this. But there is a lot to grow. In general, my attitude is positive. I liked.

The special charm of our meeting of friends was given by the wonderful specialist Teymur, whose advice turned out to be very useful. We are grateful to everyone who made our dinner delicious and beautiful! Well, your "SHAH PILAF" deserves a separate commendatory review! We recommend it to everyone who has not tried it yet, and we express our delight and respect to the chef! See you soon!

On February 14, we had a rest with our beloved in Astoria.
It took a long time to choose from 3 establishments, but we were convinced by phone that a great holiday was planned!
And we have never regretted that we trusted you.
14 love stories are an unusual presentation, a warm welcome, many female and male cupids, beautiful themed costumes in the form of hearts, photo zones, worthy musicians!
We are looking forward to the photo report)

Thanks more for ruining the evening, the restaurant itself didn't really want to spoil the evening for the staff, so I'd better leave my opinion here, it was our first and last trip to this institution, we were with a girl who wanted to celebrate their small holiday, just sit and relax, the girl ordered a chicken kebab,I would never have thought that an institution of this level would be able to screw up with ordinary chicken like that,visually everything is fine, of course, but by the smell, the chicken just went bad, perhaps, as the waiter said, the marinade itself went bad,and the chicken was normal, but to be honest, it was not much that it was wrong, the dish was of course replaced,but let's just say that after the girl sniffed the last chicken, she didn't really want this one anymore, she tried it, but she couldn't eat it anymore, the result was that they arrived home, and the smell still haunted her. Perhaps it was such a one-time promotion, and we were just unlucky, but my opinion is that the establishment is not worth it.

There was a very unpleasant aftertaste from the March 8th in this restaurant. My daughter and I considered many options for how to spend a festive evening. we stopped at Astoria, the restaurant offered an interesting menu and a good program. The event started at 19:00. There was a reservation, which we paid 100% a week before the event with a selection of menus and a table. it was 180 rubles per person. All the points about the menu, the table and the payment took place in the telegram.
We arrived at 19.00, and a nice girl met us at the entrance. I checked our reservation or not, opened the list, our table was 37A, there was a dash in front of it, although others had marks, okay, we were offered to go to the cloakroom and then to the hall
In the hall, we were seated at our table, based on the fact that the menu had already been agreed upon, the waiter came and brought the menu again, choose, we say, well, in general, we have already chosen in advance, but okay, let's start over, we were in no hurry. the evening went on as usual, it was time to leave, we asked for the bill, as we had ordered something else
before, they brought us the bill with the full amount, excluding our prepayment, we showed the checks to the waiter, and put only the amount for additional dishes + tips, after 5, 10, 15 minutes the issue was not resolved, they said that they still need time to figure it out, the receptionist came up to us, took a picture of the payment from our phone, then the car was waiting for us for about 20 minutes, we got up and told the waiter that we had to leave
But, at the exit, further arguments awaited us, my daughter was told that she had had lunch that day for the amount of the prepayment!!! 2 employees of the restaurant who track payments tried to prove to us that we were scammers, and that some Anastasia came in the correspondence and dropped our check as payment for lunch!!! My daughter opened her correspondence with the restaurant, and proved by numbers, numbers, letters that Anastasia and we have completely different payments. and then, from their lordly shoulder, they told us OK, goodbye! It's just beastly. Except for the waiter, no one apologized. This is simply unacceptable. It's not my first time in this restaurant, the staff are rude and arrogant, especially those who are not waiters. Guys, your service is disgusting, I will definitely leave a complaint in the book. In such cases, the restaurant apologizes at least complementarily. But it's alien to you.

Everything is on the level and the food and service, the only thing that spoiled the whole impression was the administrator. My colleague lost the number, they didn't give her the jacket, she had to pay 20 rubles, no one had any cash, and when asked to pay by card or transfer, the answer was that the establishment was already closed., as well as the terminal. As a result, we just walked around in circles for almost 40 minutes, the receptionist stood her ground, did not give things back, when asked what to do next, she offered to call the police, although no one refused to pay, but simply did not understand what to do next. Here is such a service, the number was found in the end)

The graduation from the university took place in this place. Perfectly! The territory is large. There is a river nearby (or whatever it is), but you need to beware of mosquitoes in summer. The building itself is beautiful and large. 3 universities celebrated together. There was enough space to dance, and a bar, and a separate room was made for karaoke / board games, etc. There is also a separate room for hookahs. The photos came out great. The organization of the VIP graduation was super. I recommend

05 06 2024 celebrated the wedding evening at the Astoria restaurant.
Approximately 05/25/2024 we arrived to choose a place, we were met by a friendly girl, Evgenia, who told us everything and showed us and offered the best options for our holiday. I explained everything about the payment. We liked everything very much. After that, she told us that another manager would deal with us, who would contact us to coordinate the menu. 3 days have passed, and no one has contacted us, we called ourselves. They told you they would call you back, a day passed and no one called back. A day later, we called again, they told us they would call you back, and after 5 minutes, manager Farid finally called back, we expressed our dissatisfaction with him, to which he reacted violently, shoving all the blame on manager Evgenia, who allegedly had to send us the menu and coordinate. As a result of the conversation, he said that he would hold a preventive conversation with her, but refused to send the menu because we did not make an advance payment. The next day we made an advance payment, and after calling him again, he sent us the menu on May 29. We asked him to send us some standard menu options for such events in advance. As a result, on May 30, at 20.30, after another call, he sent us some kind of garbage with only tortillas. In our opinion, absolutely fuck off.
On May 31, we ourselves already went to the restaurant to make the menu, as we realized that it was impossible to solve the issues remotely with him. We went into the restaurant, we were met by a security guard, we asked our manager and Farid came out, to our question, where is Yevgenia, he said that after our conversation on the phone, where we complained that they could not even send us a menu, he fired her, since he is the head of banquets here, and she his subordinate.
As a result, he and I spent two hours compiling the menu, but we never made it to the end. He also deceived us with the payment, or rather with the cost, in the sense that he said, since you take a room for 20 people, then you should make a check for 20 hours at 170 rubles for each, despite the fact that you will be 13 people, it was to some extent a shock for us. We were outraged because there had never been such a conversation before.
Well, OK, we didn't have much options to refuse, because it's just not possible to find another place in 3-4 days, and the guests have already been invited. But at the time of the meeting with Farid, I was even ready for this option, because everything did not suit us, both the kitchen and his approach to our event, there was a complete feeling that we were greatly interfering with him and straining him. As a result, we agreed on something with him in 2 hours, but not everything, because he had some other important things to do. We asked to make a buffet for the guests at the entrance, to make a layout on the tables with the names of the guests, but Farid said that this was impossible. Because they are not an organizational service and he is not going to control it.
On June 4, in the evening, we arrived at the restaurant to leave alcohol and equipment for tomorrow's event and met Evgenia, we were very surprised because Farid said that she was fired. She was also in shock, but she kindly helped us. She said that she would organize both a buffet and a layout of cards with the names of the guests.
We left happy, because everything was clear and understandable with her.
On June 5, at 12 o'clock, Evgenia called and said that everything was ready, that by 16.00 she could arrive and everything would be ready. She organized the buffet and selected the dishes herself.
Arriving at the restaurant at 16.00, we were pleased with the organization on the part of Evgenia, by the way, I saw Farid out of the corner of my eye all evening, he just ran past once without even saying hello. Only at the end did he arrange a boorish meeting with an interrogation about what we didn't like. There are also a lot of questions about the menu that we made, because in fact the table was empty, and if Evgenia had made the menu, I think such a question would not have arisen.
Thank you very much to Evgenia's manager for accompanying our entire evening and solving all the questions about the organization that arose during the event! She made our holiday as comfortable as possible!!!
The kitchen - pilaf was not very good, there was a lot of rice and almost no meat, while the meat was not clear, as if pork or chicken, although veal was ordered. The pilaf turned out to be quite tasteless. The cuts of meat, the tongue of the basturm seemed to be slightly spoiled, there was a smell as if it was not fresher. The salads are good - caesar, roast beef, hot eggplant.
I really liked the waiters' service, they did everything very politely and diligently.
In general, all the staff except security and Farid were very polite and pleasant.
As a result, about the institution from 1 to 10
Manager Evgenia - 10
Manager Farid - 0
Kitchen - 6
Security - 4 (you need to be more polite and do not walk with the view of the most important)
Pastry chef Anna - 10 (also helped and organized everything)
Waiters - 10
Interior - 10
Cleanliness in the hall - 10
Cleanliness in the summer terrace - 7 (dust and cobwebs on the ceiling and roof structures near the bar)
