We went as a small group and the waiter suggested a selection of starters and main courses. Salads, bread, dips, kebabs and a very large special main dish with a baked portion of rice at the centre. The service was very good and all of the food was really tasty.
Our only issue was with the huge amount of food that arrived at our table it really was too much.
Really worth a visit but check how much food is with each dish

A delightful traditional resturant in the heart of Baku, under Mothercare store. (Easy to miss)
You walk down some stairs into a basement resturant which opens up into different sections.
Waiters had reasonable English and explained the menu, which has lots of photographs to encourage you to try the different dishes.
Food arrived quickly ....delicious.
During our meal a group of Azerbaijani men were playing and singing traditional songs. It was quiet and beautiful dispite not understanding the words, perfect background music unlike many western resturants where you can't hear conversations.
A wonderful experience not to be missed whilst visiting Baku 😊

I went to Dolma restaurant on a friends trip to Baku, based on the strength of its review.
But, unfortunately, my experience was terrible and it was solely on the miserable customer service provided by the wait staff.
Everything else (ambiance, food) is okay. You can probably find similar places in Baku. There was some live music every once in a while, which was nice. The waiter, however, was super pushy, kept asking if we wanted to get one of the very expensive set menus. After it seemed like he couldn't convince me to buy higher priced items, he focused for the rest of the night on my friend, who neither speaks Azerbaijani nor English, and was easier for the waiter to get a "yes" from when trying to upsell him.
In addition to ignoring me the entire meal, he then chose to re-engage when it became apparent that I was paying for the meal. And, shocker, their credit card system was down. So I the had to go out into a very wet and windy fountain square area to find an ATM (there isn't one nearby).
This last indignity moved the entire experience into a full fledged disaster. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND. There are cheaper places in the immediate area where even if the service is inattentive, you will still get a superior experience.

DOLMA RESTAURANT is a well-known restaurant in the center of the city of Baku, near the Fountain Square and close to Museum of the Literature, in a basement.
The decoration of the restaurant is in a traditional way (carpets on the walls, etc.) and the atmosphere is really positive, while the food choices are good enough to have a representative taste of Azerbaijani cuisine. The service was very good, the prices affordable (mid-range) and the dishes tasteful. We enjoyed our lunch here and suggest it to have a first impression of the local Azerbaijani cuisine.

We had dinner in the restaurant and were very disappointed with experience and food quality. Place has a nice decor but in compare to other restaurants in Baku is no value for money. As soon as we sit down waiter came to the table and push for thier signature traditional dish for 2 people. He didn't give us a chance to properly look at the menu and said that he will organise grilled vegetables for my gf as she is vegetarian. It was quite overwhelming and we followed his recommendation. Food arrived promptly but was quite average. Veg were not edible. Hot tomato looked like boiled rather than grilled. Aubergine was burned out. Anyway, for 2 glass of wine and one main course for 2 we paid 120 manats which is €66. In compare to other great restaurants that we visited in Baku, Dolma is the worst and most expensive.

Great service and food. Dolma has been recommended by the barmaid in O’Malley’s and she was absolutely correct. Delicious food, waiters with traditional costumes and a friendly atmosphere.enjoyed it very much. I had “Şeki Pitisi” a lamb dish with chestnuts and herbs was delicious.

I had seen this restaurant on a couple of YouTube videos so when I saw the excellent TA reviews as well I thought this would be a good option for my last night in Baku.
The restaurant is very close to fountain square and is easy to find. The restaurant itself is below floor level and opens out into quite a large area made up of several arched ceiling rooms. I didn’t have a reservation but there was plenty of room.
The menu was multilingual so I found it easy to look at it (it has photos too) and decide (though there is a large choice). My waiter spoke good English and was really friendly and helpful.
I ordered the chicken Caesar salad to start followed by skewers of lamb and chicken with a vegetable saj- I preferred ordering that way as I wanted the meat from the skewer rather than ordering a lamb or chicken saj where the meat is cooked with the vegetables. The food was excellent - the skewers were cooked to perfection and the saj such a tasty accompaniment.
With a couple of local beers the meal was complete - thoroughly enjoyed it and was only £24 all in.

Great place to explore local kitchen. Tasty food, good people, very picturesque atmosphere. Waiters willingly help you with the main course and I highly recommend to try eggplants with walnuts and gutab with chestnut.

This restaurant is one of the best restaurants in Baku. All is very nice here, in Dolma Restaurant! The menu is very big, all food is spicy, tasty and delicious! The interiors are interesting and nice, and staff is very attentive, friendly, smiling and with high qualification. Dolma is one of the best dishes here, but all other food is very good too.

A must visit for any tourist looking to sample traditional Azerbaijani cuisine.
The restaurant is located in the city centre in the pedestrian district close to Starbucks. Although situated at the basement level, the entrance is at street level.
The ambience is very unique, as the walls have been painted over for the stonework to appear in traditional designs.
A wide choice of dishes was available, which we found to be very reasonably priced for the location and the ambience.
Staff were friendly and courteous, and service was relatively prompt.
My wife and I were very impressed with the unique nature of some of the dishes and were happy to have had the opportunity to taste traditional Azerbaijani cuisine. Which tasted very good, by the way.
We dined there twice during our short 4 night stay in Baku.

I went here for dinner , i order pilafs and some kebab . The most horrible chewy meat i ever had in life . Dolma and dumplings was not any specialThe food was served a but warm not hot as freshly made. To add to this the menu as per atta hed photos is edited that made me feel am being fooled as a tourist. I would only recommend to come here for tea or dessert to enjoy the ambiance and for food NO GO

Great food from an enormous menu. Particularly appreciated the regional specialities from Karabakh. A small 3 man band played popular and folk music in the background. Great atmosphere in the underground cavern. The waiter (Namiq) was very helpful with recommendations and was very responsive. A great welcome to Baku
