Mangal Steak House

The best restaurant. And of course cuisine in Baku is everywhere a work of art, but it is not about food, but a tangle of emotions, atmosphere and joy of being there and pleasant emotions. I am a guest and don't know whose restaurant this is or who runs it but you are the highest bar of hospitality . Thank you for being you 🙏

I recently dined at Mangal Steakhouse, hoping for a memorable culinary experience. Unfortunately, my expectations were not fully met. At the start they didn’t offer any complementary (no bread & butter nor crackers or anything). I ordered the Quzu New York steak, which was a major disappointment. The flavor was incredibly bland, scoring a mere 3 out of 10 in my book. Additionally, it had an odd, unpleasant "lamb-like" aftertaste from it’s sticked fat that you can’t differentiate from the meat until you chew it, that made it quite unappetizing. On the other hand, the burger was decent—not remarkable, but acceptable. However, the accompanying French fries fell short; they were the frozen variety, lacking the freshness and crispness I look for in a good side dish. Prices are very high compared to the quality received, I asked for a barbecue sauce where it was surprisingly charged for 7 AZN at the bill which was 82.5 AZN ( 48.5 $ ) for 200 gr steak, a small burger with frozen fries and a cola (and of course the Barbecue sauce). That said, the restaurant's atmosphere was wonderful. The menu design as a newspaper is a brilliant idea. The decor was tastefully designed, creating an inviting and visually pleasing environment. The live music was a thoughtful touch, though it didn’t suit my personal taste. Still, I appreciated the gesture, as it added to the overall ambiance. In summary, while Mango Steakhouse excels in atmosphere and presentation, the food quality—particularly the steak—needs significant improvement to match the premium dining experience they aim to provide.

The food was very good, it was tender juicy and a work of art, the service was just amazing, The servers were kind and every few minutes they were checking which was a good thing. The atmosphere was very beatiful I’ve never seen something like this in Baku, the atmosphere gives you a good vibe of when you’re dining. In summarized way, this restaurant is for sure a good recommendation and everyone should visit this restaurant, the food is amazing service is amazing and the atmosphere is amazing.

The steak was underwhelming, with no visible marbling to enhance its flavor or tenderness. As a result, it tasted bland and lacked the rich, beefy aroma expected from a quality cut. The texture was also somewhat chewy, making the overall experience less enjoyable. Looking at the cuts in the fridge, it was clear that all the steaks were of similarly low quality. While imported steaks might be decent, the local ones are apparently not up to standard.

I had much better expectations for the place, yet I was let down. We ordered 3 local rib eye steaks in 3 different styles of grilling. In all three, including Medium grilled, the meat was too tough and chewy. The problem is with the meat quality, not the cooking. Also, multiple times, we asked for the burger to be prepared without cheese, yet it came with cheese. The staff needs to start considering taking notes while the customer is ordering. I am definitely not going there again.

Super location, inside of the restaurant incredible Zones, only one minus that not many officiants knowing English…

Amazing food and atmosphere. Great service

I recently dined at Mangal, and I must say it was a delightful experience. The restaurant boasts a fantastic atmosphere, with the warm, inviting ambiance and live local music bands setting the perfect mood for a memorable evening. The staff here is exceptionally friendly and attentive, which adds to the overall charm of the place. Now, let's talk about the main attraction: the food. The meat quality here is truly up to the highest standards. I had a steak that was cooked to perfection, and the flavors were simply amazing. If you're a meat lover, this is the place to be.
