Baku Palace Restaurant

To start, Baku is perfectly located - overlooking Sheepshead Bay. They weren't exagerating when they called it "Baku Palace", because the place is huge, having the potential to accomodate weddings, bar mitzvas or any other large parties while still serving other guests who prefer to dine outside the main room. Their menu is thick, rivaling some of the local diners, however that's where the similarities end. However, regardless of what you might order, the dish will be savory and perfectly prepared. There's a deffinate Persian/Medditaranean inclination in the dish offering, however, they serve French and Continetal food as well. If forced to classify their fare would be placed in the Ecclectical-Fusion category (if such even exists). But who cares about labels - their food is great, the srvice is friendly and attentive (although a few english lessons would serve them well) and the ambiance is second to none. Pros: Food , Service , Location

Baku is a great restaurant but can only be enjoyed by those who have a liking for those kinds of dishes. Their shishkibab is the best and the dancers are awesome. As this restaurant is a favorite (in Brooklyn) of my ethnicity, I enjoy dancing with my family and they are very friendly. The waiters are proffesional and attentive, and I recommend this restaurant. They speak Russian! ( by the way) But, if you prefer something different, nearby restaurant XO serves the best crepes-ever- and Passage has magnificant fine dining and music. Pros: great food, great service, family oriented Cons: small dance floor

we were recently in baku to celebrate mom's birthday. great selection on the menu. cubed liver is moist and tasty, for main dish go with lamb chops they were very juicy and well prepared. for desert you must try their own tea that comes served for the whole table with side of different jams and have baku's blintzes, made right in front of you with ice cream and fresh fruit. the ambiance is great. we sat on the second floor balcony with a breeze coming from the canal. for those who got chilly the restaurant provided blankets. listen to the suggestions of the waiters they are very attentive and will tell you what is recommended (they were right on the money). full dinner with drinks and appetizers and desert will run you about $50 per person and it is definitely worth it.

I came here with a large group. The staff was extremely accommodating in meeting our needs. The service was excellent. I thought the food was very good, though others thought that the nearby Armenian place is better, for half the price. The atmosphere is wonderful. The music is very pleasant. The food has some traditional Azerbaijani dishes, as well as some French food, such as frog legs and escargot. I will definitely come here again. Pros: Food, Service, Atmosphere Cons: Pricey

Most of the time the food is great, but atmosphere and service made up that one time when the food was not as good as usually. And we got complimentary champagne that day. Actually, everyone in the restaurant did. I recommend making reservations for the main room (on the second floor). Try to get there between 9 and 10 and stay till closing (at least 2 am). The table is yours for the night, there is no second seating. You can go on the dance floor (live band every Fri, Sat and Sun) and return an hour later your own table. Don't be afraid to order a Banquet dinner. Everything will be served family style and you'll try very many interesting dishes. Pros: excellent service, good food, live music
