Get ready to reel in some 'Balig' love! This Caspian Sea sturgeon is the star of the show, often smoked or served as juicy kebabs. It's a fish-tastic journey for your palate, and you haven't lived until you've had a taste of Baku's prized piscean pleasure. Remember, it's not just fish; it's an adventure on a plate!
Warm up your insides with a bowl of Fisinjan, the walnut and pomegranate stew that's the talk of the town. It's sweet, it's sour, and it's got more depth than the Caspian Sea itself! Served over saffron rice with tender meat, this dish is the hug your stomach's been dreaming of!
Quench your thirst and lift your spirits with a glass of Sharbat, the refreshingly sweet drink flavored with fruits, herbs, and flowers. From rosy rose petals to tangy lemon, Sharbat's a toast to Baku's vibrant vibe. It's the golden gulp that will have you saying 'Cheers!' or 'Nush olsun!' in no time!
Prepare your palate for the sweet layers of Halva, a treat that'll crumble delicately in your mouth with each bite. Picture this: thin sheets of fried dough, interspersed with cardamom-spiced nuts or sweet syrup. Every forkful is like a crunchy, flaky journey through the savory streets of Baku. Just try to stop at one piece—I dare you!
Get cheeky with a round of Goghal, Baku's buttery and flaky round bread that's all about the crunch. This savory pastry, with hints of anise and cumin, is like the mischievous cousin of bagels—except it's too busy being awesome to ever become mainstream. Snatched fresh from a tandoor oven, it's perfect for breakfast or a cheeky snack.
