Kichik Gala Street Tandir - Old City

When you read any of the guides for Baku, the food chapter always has a large section about bread! The bread we have had since we got here has been fantastic but we had not yet tried tandir bread. We decided to make the most of our long Ramadan weekend and headed off to the old city to find a traditional Azeri breakfast.

After a walk around the old city, searching for a restaurant with a tandir bread breakfast, we finally came to Tandir restaurant and as soon as we got there, the welcoming smell of freshly baked bread let us know that we had arrived at the right place.

A woman, wearing heavy protective gloves, was standing over a huge tandir, with loaves of bread stuck to the inside of the oven. We ordered a traditional breakfast: tea, bread, butter, cheese and honey. The bread came straight out of the oven and onto our plates. It was delicious! 

If you come to Baku, this is definitely a good choice for breakfast!
