Meydan Dönər

Azerbaijan


Yes, it just serves dönər, but this little kebab shop gets our vote as one of the best in Azerbaijan. Seats are comfy, women are not shy to come in, there's a modicum of decor and the kebabs are delicious – meat-packed and served on a wooden board with a little ceramic bowl of pickled chillies. Hard to beat for AZN2.
