He estado varias veces en este lugar de Shisha ... pero solo porque no hay nada más cerca de la Feria de Mayo. He fumado Shisha en todo el mundo, incluidos países como Rusia / Ucrania, donde experimento el más alto nivel de Shisha y la mayor variedad de sabores. Este lugar es extremadamente caro sin ninguna razón y el personal no es demasiado amable. Fui allí varias veces ordenando - varias - botellas de Champagne y cuando fue 22/22. A las 30 h ya empezaron a limpiar la terraza y nos empujaron a beber rápidamente y se fueron. Después de consumir 2 x Shishas y 2 - 3 botellas de Champagne, creo que esto es solo una broma y un muy mal trato para sus clientes. En mi país, Suiza, todo el lugar estaría abierto hasta que se vaya el último invitado. Tienen mesas dentro, pero el personal estaba actuando como si no fuéramos bienvenidos, así que tomamos un sorbo de nuestro Champagne y no volveremos otra vez. La Shisha definitivamente no tiene una alta calidad y ya está fumada, después de inhalar varias veces. Para cualquier persona, quien realmente sabe, qué es Shisha, terminarás después de 30/40 minutos como máximo. Los precios para todo lo demás son extremadamente caros. Mejor ir a por bebidas a Sexy Fish o cualquier otro lugar decente. .

We are couple of London, and eating just CUISINES, so we attempted a ton of CUISINES in London. We for to this place and we got the best Baku Bistro we ate up until now. The place is Pure Vegan. No issue for anything.The staff there is exceptionally pleasant! I'm suggest this place!

A complete ripoff. I was early for a meeting in Mayfair so I stopped at this placed for a pot of Tea and a Shisha. Imagine my shock when I got a £65.21 bill. If £15.21 was not bad enough for a cup of hot water and a Tea Bag. The £50 bill for a Shisha was outrageous. Avoid this place at all costs.

Tasteless street food at restaurant prices. Shisha is never worth 50 GBP which was the only reason we stopped. Got caught out. Shame as nice location. Rip off am guessing return trade is zero.

A shocking experience really, no other words. Microwaved chicken with Pesto on a waffle and a warmed up salmon on a dried waffle with overcooked egg. A refilled bottle of water (certainly was not opened in front of us) costing £7.95. We had the gut feeling to leave straightaway after looking at the menu but we sat down and ordered. Overpriced and with a attitude as you are asking for a favour.

We went for a shisha and sat there for at least 2 and a half hours. The shisha was good and they keep checking it for you - thankyou. We had wine and JD’s and hummus . They bought along little sweet treats aswell. It seemed expensive at £170 - but we did spend a good amount of time there and it is London, so on reflection - it was fine.

Me invitaron con amigos de visita desde LOS EMIRATOS ÁRABES UNIDOS y nosotros sólo queríamos ir y sentarse en algún sitio y tener Sheisha. Tenía un ambiente encantador, la sheisha era fantástico, no quemar y mantenido durante horas. Cuando te sientas te traen un plato de fruta fresca y dulces árabes que parecía genial. Disfruté yo como mis amigos. Sin duda volvería de nuevo.

Popped by for shisha, was welcomed by a man asked if its was out first time we replied yes. He told he we had a one hour shisha smoke time as well as 5£ coverage per person and 50£ for the shisha. I really have nothing to say but complete rip off and robbery. Who charges 5£ a head to sit down? What we paying for shisha and food and drinks? Am i renting a chair? And no on top of that you got an hour and have to leave? Complete rubbish, probably run by a dodge management ripping off tourists and arabs in the Mayfair area. Dont say I didnt warn you, this kind of management wouldnt fly by in Dubai! Oh by the way we left never stayed obviously.

Dropped in with 4 of my London friends before going to dinner.We were warmly greated by the manager that assisted us with the choice of tea and pastry and also some champagne.the shisha assistant (very expert) helped us with the choice of flavour for the shisha.Nice mixed crowd of people and perfect for a pre-dinner smoke and drink in Mayfair .I would raccomend the azeri tea and packlava.The staff was very kind and helpful.i did like the little woolly duvet on the chairs to keep you warm ,but i must say the heaters were strong enough to keep us warm whilst smoking.i will go there again when in Central London

DO NOT GO ! If you want to have a good time with friends and enjoy Shisha don't go to this place ,very unprofessional and rude staff . Was treated badly by the staff , were asked to finish the Shisha in 1 hour which cost £60 , never heard of 1 hour rule before and the staff comes every 5 mins to remind you to get another shisha ,if you are more than 2 people , have to finish the Shisha in 1 hour and was told off by the manager to leave even when the Shisha was ordered 15 mins before. Save your precious time and never go to this place

Great location on a lovely street in Mayfair, looks authentic, but £50 for a shisha!!??? Are you kidding me? In the Middle East, shisha can be enjoyed for as little as 80p so what kind of mark up is that? Put a real dampener on my day :(

I was walking around my hotel looking for my "shisha" fix when ran into this nice side-street cafe. Ordered shisha with Apple flavour and green tea with mint. They came with a dish of sweets and fruits, which "hit a spot". Shisha was good and smooth. So was the tea. A bit pricy, I paid £65 (which is a fortune compared to the same in similar cafes in Dubai, Cairo, or Beirut!) But, it's London. The place is convenient and offers fast service. It's a block into Piccadilly street and close to Berkeley park.

First of all the nibbles are not good, and super expensive! Going downstairs to the WC was quite a scene to view.. the WV were seriously dirty, and one of them seems to be storage for some sort of equipment (so think twice before you eat or drink a coffee there because the cups might be stored in the loo!)I won't go again

I think this place is basically only good for shisha. Went there with my boyfriend thinking we can have some Azerbaijan food ( because it is called Baku Bistro, you will expect somewhere called Beijing Bistro to at least serve chinese food). The food r nothing Azerbaijan and when we asked the waitress poor girl has no clue what they are actually serving. ps. My boyfriend is Azerbaijani and we both eat Azerbaijan food often

Popped in last night for a quick glass of wine and snack. Ordered humus which never arrived and I ended up cancelling it. When they brought my incredibly small glass of wine over they also brought a small dish of peanuts which I assumed were complimentary, they weren't. Nearly £16 for a tiny glass of wine and a plate of nuts I didn't ask for.

Одна из лучших кальянных в Лондоне! Стоимость кальяна начинается от 45 фунтов.Вечером без брони попасть нереально, поэтому бронируйте заранее. Неплохая еда.Единственное, что расстраивает-ограничение по времени. Через полтора часа просят покинуть заведение или заказать второй кальян

1st visit and I must say I was shocked at the price of the shisha.I know it's mayfair but £50 is a bit much but! It was amazing. Grape fruit head and nice pipes. The smoke is clean and tasty, I smoje very regularly and only 1 flavour grape and mint but thus has been the best I have smoked till date.The staff very friendly and politeThere is nothing to complain about this place. Will defo be back and highly recommend to any smoker.

One particular member of staff was extremely and unbelievably impolite, he can teach people how to be impolite. ordered drinks first .. regretted it. I just couldn't believe that some employees in London are this inconsiderate rude and disrespectful. After a a few minutes sitting outside ,we were asked us to move inside with such incredible rudeness, inconsideration and discourtesy. The manager was aware of this as he was standing in the background, well done manager that's how future customers are treated. I felt humiliated in front of everyone else. It's not worth it ....I will never go back ...never. Never recommend it to anyone.

What's great here is the staff, Shisha & Baaha the maestro of Shisha. What's good is the vibe of the venue & people watching whilst waiting for your club sandwich, what is average is nothing, nothing is average here - it's really brilliant or very poor depending on wether the sexy blonde French owner is barking orders at the staff from table inside or not? I think she has sold it now to Greek personLol

My first and definitely the last visit to this bar left me enourmously offended by the service. We were teated like nobody, not to say worse. As the name is Baku Bistro, it seems that the mentalitry is just like in the former Soviet Republic – nobody cares. I really wonder how such a place can continue existing.

We came to come and have a meal, cocktails, catch-up over some yummy shisha. DISASTER!Whilst we were ordering our mains and more coctails, we were given a bill and were told you now have to leave as this table has been reserved by someone else. They asked us TO PAY FOR FOOD, DRINKS AND HALF SMOKED SHISHA BEFORE WE HAD EVEN HAD THEM ON THE TABLE. As we were speaking to the manager, he offered us a seat inside to where obviously we could not take shsihas . This counts as my top 3 WORST RESTAURANT experiences in my entire life. The place is run by careless, money orientated men who run around nervously and mess up orders. Do yourself a favour, don't waste your time, you may not have the same experience but I guarantee you your experience will not be great. there would be something else

So I made a booking online to dine at Baku with a friend. We proceeded to arrive for our booking and were told they had no record of it and that the online booking service shoudl not have been operational. I was then offered a seat outside to which I agreed to take for an hour and when I mentioned we did not want to smoke shisha but just eat I was told thats not possible and we were told we cannot just eat on the outside tables and that the inside tables are not open for some reason. The guy whoi i believe was the manager had the worst attitude and did not really try to accomodate us given it was there mistake.i won't be goign back.

Just been to Baku Bistro for lunch. The inside has had a roof collapse so you have to seat outside, forgetting that this is a shisha bar, we sat right next to smokers and being in my first trimester I really did not like having passive smoking going into my baby. Our waiter was very sympathetic, called his supervisor to see what he can do for us, if there is a pace he can move us to and this was his statement "This is a shisha bar, I cannot ask them to stop smoking". Considering we were after indoor seating, and was offered outdoor to be just as good as indoors, this was appalling, the list he could have done is offer to cancel the order or give it to us as a take away or move us to a different table.Then the menu has changed, apparently the potions are bigger and prices have gone up to what you see on the website. To be honest the food is not as good, it is not as tasty as before. Never going back.Em

At the suggestion of one of our party of four (plus baby) who had recently been to Aubaine in Selfridges we went to this Hampstead restaurant for breakfast on a cold but clear Saturday morning in early October. After having walked from Euston station into Hampstead we were ready for a good breakfast. Walked in off the street not having made a reservation where we were seated downstairs directly under the stairs (we had a child & buggy) and after looking at the menu and wishing we’d gone next door to Cote Brasserie we gave our orders to the waitress. Scrambled egg and salmon £8.00 (came with 1 piece of cold rock hard toasted bread with no butter or spread offered-maybe that’s the French way? two cherry tomatoes and curly kale), pot of tea £2.95, 2x formule sante £12.00 each (poached egg with avocado on seeded toast) one with fresh orange juice, one with a pot of tea, one pain au raisin £2.50 and one bottle of evian water (750ml) £4.00. We asked that one of the poached eggs be well done and when the food arrived the waitress said she couldn’t remember which was which but she could go back to the kitchen and ask but we declined this offer thinking we’d soon learn ourselves, well we did as they were both well done with one being more well done than the other making it more hard boiled than poached and did I mention my rock hard toast? All looked good (see my photo’s) and to be fair the scrambled egg , salmon and curly kale were fine but the rest was a poor do. Tea was nice as was the orange juice but you can‘t really mess that up. The total bill was £41.45 plus the norm (for Hampstead at any rate) service charge of 12.5% adding another £5.18 giving us a grand total of £46.63 for what was essentially three plates of egg, a bun and a couple of drinks. I had been thinking of trying this place for lunch or dinner but this experience of breakfast has put me off. I'm being generous with my overall rating of a three because it really falls between two and three.
