Turkish cuisine has never felt foreign in Azerbaijan. Our language, our taste, and our table customs come from the same root, so Turkish food feels right at home here.
In recent years Turkish cuisine in Baku has grown into a world of its own. The morning Turkish open-buffet breakfast has become a beloved city habit. The table fills with ten kinds of cheese, honey and clotted cream, olives, hot simit, menemen, and strong tea on top, and you can sit there for hours. On the other side there is Iskender kebab, lahmacun, pide, kunefe. Each one demands its own master. With a good kunefe the cheese stretches, the top turns crisp, and the syrup is poured on hot.
The tables of the two peoples have blended so much that sometimes you cannot tell where a dish came from. The taste is shared, and so is the respect.
