We were here on 12.02.2025. I really liked the place. It was colorful, stylish, the food was delicious, the menu was large (they chose online menus, everything was local, but it was clear from the pictures), Russian music was playing. We came in at lunch in the afternoon, there were almost no people. The staff speaks little Russian (but the receptionist spoke, he helped make the order and chatted with us, told us about the concept of the establishment and that it was fundamentally important for them to keep local prices, not tourist prices.) prices are about 20% lower than everywhere else, although the restaurant and the food are delicious, it was very pleasant to choose without thinking about the budget. We ordered local wine, it was delicious, the selection of wines is very rich. We didn't regret it, at first we were worried about the high score, we thought that we had screwed up, visited and realized that everything was deserved :)

We visited this wonderful place and were very satisfied. We were fed real national dishes, everything is very tasty cooked and flawlessly served. Waiter Rahim is a real master of his craft, advised what to order, served masterfully and told a lot of interesting things about the national cuisine. We wish the restaurant prosperity, and we want to come back here many more times.

Good afternoon, lovers and professionals of delicious food. Quite by chance, on Yandex Maps, we discovered this institution and, after reading the flattering reviews, we urgently went to check everything ourselves.
Now everything is in order, the establishment is located on the ground floor, and I consider this a big plus, because after walking under the generously scorching sun in a big city, you want coolness and a basement with lots of air conditioners will create the right climate. Next, the furniture, the interior. Everything is more than in its place, there are a lot of interesting attributes and national flavor, fully emphasizing the hospitality of the owners and most importantly, it all looks very harmonious, not piled up. Next and most important is the food, and it will be difficult to describe it in words, but I will try very hard to do it.
Assorted pickles, delicious and very unusual flavors, stuffed eggplant and cherry in this version, it's actually something completely new to me, I was delighted, immediately I took a bite of the most delicate, fresh cheese cheese, light light beer, without bitterness and rich red house wine, Then Dushbara, its very I recommend you try the rich and very fragrant broth with small delicious dumplings, dry mint crumbs and vinegar served separately. And now, about something unrealistically perfect, namely the taste of Gutab with herbs (In the menu Gutab with greens) I have repeatedly tried this famous thin patty, but only in Buta I realized how much it is delicious, or rather, VERY TASTY, I want to write songs about such products We also tried the meat kebab lyulya, tender, juicy, in excellent balance of salt/ pepper, ate and even forgot that there are sauces for meat, such as the self-sufficient lyulya kebab and shepherd's salad, although the dish is as simple as possible, but the products from which it is made are so fresh and juicy that we had to use bread to wipe the plate dry 🍽️ A delicious point was made with tea and a pastry masterpiece in the form of baklava 🍭 A separate and very pleasant impression of the staff, professional, impeccable, fast service and sincere interest in the comfort of the guest. It is also customary to print about prices, so they will surprise you no less than they surprise me, they are cheaper in Baku, but for free. Many thanks to the management, staff and all the people who were involved in the creation and improvement of Buta Restaurant Est. 2003. 🫶🏻 I wish you great prosperity and material well-being 💰 and many smiles from well-fed, happy guests 😍☺️ See you in delicious new meetings

We visited this restaurant at lunch, we were the only ones in the room, and the food arrived quickly.
The crispy eggplant salad is delicious!
We also ordered a lula of chicken and lamb, honestly they smelled the same. But the child really liked it, they ate everything.
The staff speaks and understands Russian.
A great place to have lunch.
Even Agutin is on the subject, of course.
It's very good for a break between walks.

Rahim, as promised, I give six stars out of five possible!
One of the best hits in a wonderful restaurant of local cuisine, without looking at reviews, but purely for luck.
Thank you for a hearty and delicious dinner, homemade wine and a wonderful examination.
I recommend you to visit.
4 adults and 3 children, all found food to their liking.
I was surprised by my wallet from the price of dinner, in a good way.
Thanks again.

We arrived late. We were warmly welcomed. We were fed delicious, homemade chicken soup, fragrant lamb, and amazing, crispy eggplant. They gave me tea with thyme and peach jam. We also tried homemade red wine. We recommend it. It's a good place, everything is delicious. Special thanks to Rahim for the service.

We visited this institution today, 12/14/24, together with a friend, chose it after reading the laudatory reviews and focusing on the high rating in Yandex. A picturesque place with national cuisine. The owner of the establishment served us, offered to choose snacks, took out everything that was available on a large tray and showed us live. Our choice fell on a snack of eggplant, kutab with herbs, khinkali and red pomegranate wine. The appetizer, kutabs and wine were delicious, the khinkali was pumped up, because the juice mostly flowed out, a little later they ordered another chicken cradle, it seemed a little dry to me (since it was from breast fillet), my friend liked it. Music was playing in the restaurant and an artist was singing live.
The atmosphere is quite pleasant. The owner announced in advance that the service fee is not included in the bill, apparently leading to the fact that tips remain at our discretion. But, unfortunately, the impression of the evening was greatly spoiled by the situation with the payment of the bill ... Initially, the bill was not brought, they just called the amount in words, overestimating it by a quarter. Perhaps this is the norm for Baku and in general there is nothing special about it, but this is not acceptable at home.

We came according to the reviews and did not regret it! Cozy place, good service. The meat is perfectly cooked!!! It is not tormented by spices and sauces. True taste! The cook is great. The host in the hall is very welcoming. Everything that I advised was very tasty.
We recommend that you take it off.

We got to this wonderful restaurant, quite by chance, leaving mall 28, we typed in the "where to eat" route in Yandex maps, there was a large selection, we were guided by reviews, there was a rating of 5, and it did not disappoint us, the entrance was not upsetting, because there was a shopping trip along the mall, but I immediately noticed the interior attracted attention, carpets / or tapestries were hanging on the descent, and at the entrance they said wow, how everything is designed in the national style, but we're not talking about that, we went to eat, the choice is decent, the price tag pleases, the staff is friendly, they know Russian well, ordered dishes of Azerbaijani cuisine, the service is beautiful, fast and most importantly, very tasty.I advise everyone who is visiting Baku.

We had a vacation in Baku in April 25. It was dizzyingly delicious here.
We took soups, meat steaks, lula - the most delicious steaks were here!
We compared it with other cafes in the old city (Kurban Said, Old garden, Gabala old city), it tasted better here. The rest of the days in Baku remembered this place, I wanted to return, despite the simple interior and location in the basement.

Cheating with the account!
I do not recommend this place to visit.
It is quite possible that we were unlucky, but I cannot join all the positive reviews and even more, they surprise me. In order:
1. The menu is only in Azerbaijani and only in electronic form (therefore, either a translator will help you, or focus on the picture)
2. The order is accepted very fussily, everything is also brought fussily, everything is fluent and it seemed to me that it was intrusive, but perhaps this is how care is manifested…
3. All the items of snacks that are listed on the menu and we would like to try, were not available. Therefore, I had to choose from what is on the large tray that is brought to your table.
4. On food: kutab with greens is delicious, eggplant rolls too, khinkali are all torn and with leaked broth, chicken kebab is a little dry (but this is for my taste).
5. The situation with the bill was most upsetting (Because we knew what we ordered, then, accordingly, we knew which one the final cost should be obtained, but the cost was overestimated by 20%(((
It was terribly unpleasant, especially after they came up to us during the meal and informed us that they did not take a percentage for the service (which is actually surprising, since service is included in the bill in all establishments in Baku) and they really count on tips.
At the same time, the real cost was in the receipt, but another one was announced (why? with the expectation that they won't look at the receipt?).
It's a pity - the staff of this institution spoil the wonderful impression of their magnificent city with such a ridiculous and low deception!

Frankly speaking, I fell for the high rating and laudatory reviews. In fact, not everything is so rosy.
The staff really doesn't know Russian - the Google translator saves. There is a terrible smell of tobacco smoke in the visit. It immediately starts to tickle in my throat, and I don't feel like eating so much anymore.
One waiter says that there are dishes, the other comes up and categorically declares - "no, there is no pomegranate juice" - and leaves into the sunset. Doubtful, but let's move on.
The food was brought in dirty dishes. The sauce pan with vinegar was covered in some kind of light green slime, and the wooden planks glistened with grease. The glassware was obviously not taken out of the cupboard for the new year and was not washed. Everything is either muddy from antiquity, or dirty from unwashed.
Unfortunately, lamb stew causes heartburn. The ram was dying in vain.
Pistachio baklava turned out to be peanut baklava in the world. Suddenly. They even asked the waiter if it was definitely pistachio. The answer was in the style of "I swear by my mother"
Well, the final chord was coffee. For a long time we tried to find out from the waiter how Turkish coffee, which is not available, differs from Azerbaijani coffee, which is available. They said with the help of a Google translator, "there's more foam in ours." In fact, they brought instant coffee in a cloudy glass cup on a cloudy glass saucer.
Let's leave it at that, gentlemen. The institution doesn't like the word at all.

The food is delicious, but not super. The service is fast and a bit intrusive. In the menu that is on the website by QR code, prices may differ from what is on the receipt, the entrecote turned out to be more expensive. It is better to clarify in advance, the sediment remained unpleasant

The opening hours indicated here in the maps and the actual ones do not match, so it was not possible to visit the place the first time (they open from 13.00, as they told us).
But then they came back for dinner.
At the beginning, they bring a huge tray with cold snacks under a food film. It's not entirely clear why to do this? It is unclear how much these snacks are already worth, and the visitor himself is able to choose suitable dishes from the menu.
We took a salad, three hot dishes and drinks. Everything is satisfying, cheap, but this is not the most successful place with local cuisine.
The compote was brought to us less than indicated on the menu, about half a jug. The meat with cherries was terribly salty, it was hard for me to eat it.
