I had dinner twice at Old Mangal Restaurant during my stay in Baku, and both experiences were excellent. This authentic Turkish restaurant serves a wide variety of halal dishes — and no alcohol is served, which makes it perfect for families and those looking for a respectful dining atmosphere.

Highly recommended for anyone wanting to enjoy authentic Turkish...
