I have never tried Azerbaijani food before, but a quick Google search showed a lot of similarities to Arabic and Turkish cuisines, with some varieties in spices and flavors used. I had a few hours to kill in Dubai and I had heard some good reviews on Azerbaijan House, so I paid it a visit.

RESTAURANT REVIEW: AL DAR SWEETS

“Al Dar” - literally translates from Arabic to “home”. This store comes from very humble beginnings going back to 1975, when a man by the name of Ismael El Cheikh Hassan, decided he wanted to become a restaurant owner. Forty-three years later and the store remains a family run business, now operated by his grandson, Wissam El Cheikh Hassan.
