MADO Torqovı — Nizami Street Verdict: ★★★☆☆ (3/5)

Situated on the vibrant Nizami Street, MADO Torqovı offers a stylish, well-located dining experience with a great view of the lively pedestrian zone below — especially at night. While the atmosphere was a highlight, the overall experience fell short in terms of value and service.

⸻

Pros: • Prime location: Excellent for people-watching and soaking in the city’s evening buzz • Chic ambiance: Stylish interiors and comfortable seating, both indoors and out • Decent food: The Adana kebab and barbecue pizza were satisfying, though not standout

⸻

Cons: • Overpriced: On the expensive side for what was served • Charged extras: Lavash, usually complimentary elsewhere, was charged; unexpected service charge added to bill • Service just okay: Polite but not particularly attentive or helpful

⸻

Final Verdict:

MADO Torqovı is worth visiting if you’re after a nice setting with a great street view, but be prepared for higher prices and extra charges. While the food was fine and the place looks great, it didn’t quite live up to expectations in terms of service and value. A balanced 3...

SCAM ALERT ! fırıldaqçılıq !

This restaurant engages in dishonest and deceitful practices. We ordered three desserts, all of which were below average. The service was poor, and the staff was arrogant. We were even served an unripe banana (we ordered an ice cream sundae)

To make matters worse, they tried to scam us out of our money. Firstly, they gave us the wrong bill, then they offered a bill with a service charge of 25%, instead of the standard 11% (standard charge at this restro at this location). When we asked about the service charge, they confirmed it was 25%, and when giving change they hid 10 manat from our change and tried to scam there as well.

Moreover, they had two different menu with two service charge rates, aimed at scamming tourists. When we tried to clarify, the waiter rudely snatched the menu away. We urge all diners to be cautious when dining here and check their bills thoroughly to avoid falling victim to their scams.

4 scams

1. offered higher bill with un ordered items
2. high service charge - two different menus and charged us whooping 25%
3. gave less change than they are supposed to be initially
4. gave us low quality food

Fırıldaqçılıq Xəbərdarlığı! fırıldaqçılıq ! Bu restoran vicdansız və aldadıcı əməllərlə məşğul olur. Üç desert sifariş etdik, hamısı orta səviyyədən aşağı idi. Xidmət zəif idi və işçilər təkəbbürlü idi. Bizə hətta yetişməmiş banan da verdilər (bir dondurma sifariş etdik) Vəziyyəti daha da pisləşdirmək üçün pulumuzu aldatmağa çalışdılar. Əvvəlcə bizə səhv hesab verdilər, sonra standart 11% əvəzinə 25% xidmət haqqı olan bir hesab təklif etdilər (bu yerdəki bu restoranda standart ödəniş). Xidmət haqqını soruşduqda 25% olduğunu təsdiqlədilər, pul dəyişikliyi verərkən 10 manatı pulumuzdan gizlədib orada da dələduzluq etməyə çalışdılar. Üstəlik, turistləri aldatmağa yönəlmiş iki xidmət haqqı tarifi ilə iki fərqli menyu var idi. Dəqiqləşdirməyə çalışdığımız zaman ofisiant menyunu kobudcasına qoparıb apardı. Biz bütün nahar edənləri burada nahar edərkən diqqətli olmağa və onların fırıldaqlarının qurbanı olmamaq üçün hesablarını diqqətlə yoxlamağa çağırırıq. 4 fırıldaqçılıq 1) sifariş edilməmiş əşyalarla daha yüksək hesab təklif etdi 2) yüksək xidmət haqqı - iki fərqli menyu və bizdən 25% ödəyir 3) ilkin olaraq nəzərdə tutulduğundan daha az dəyişiklik etdi 4) bizə aşağı...
