From the moment I stepped inside, I was enveloped by an incredible atmosphere that felt like a warm, cozy home away from home. The care given to each guest were evident from the start, setting the stage for a memorable dining experience.
The culinary adventure began with the starters, and the Mimoza stood out as nothing short of superb. It exuded a fusion of Turkish Olivier salad notes but elevated to a level that can only be described as "way better." The balance of flavors and textures in this dish was a delightful surprise.
For the main courses, I had the pleasure of indulging in Azerbaijani Plov, and I must say it was absolutely delicious. The flavors and spices in this dish were expertly crafted, showcasing the restaurant's commitment to authenticity. However, the real stars of the evening were the Pelmeni and Beef Khingal. These dishes were a must-try, offering a top-notch experience that resonated with the flavors of Turkish Manti, yet with a unique twist that made them truly exceptional.
To conclude our culinary journey, I enjoyed the Honey Cake for dessert. It was nothing short of excellent, offering a sweet and satisfying conclusion to the meal. As a perfect companion, the tea served was not just a beverage; it was a soothing and delightful experience that left pleasant notes lingering on the palate.
Land of Fire is a restaurant that not only pays homage to its cultural roots but also excels in delivering a dining experience that is both heartwarming and exceptional. The combination of a cozy and welcoming atmosphere, attentive service, and dishes that transport your taste buds to the land of Azerbaijan makes this restaurant a must-visit. Each bite was a journey into the heart of culinary excellence, and I can't recommend it enough. It's a true gem for anyone seeking authenticity, warmth, and culinary excellence.
We were looking to try something different and stumbled up on this well-reviewed place on Google.
The starters were very good - especially the Blini Beef - and our party of three each opted for the Azerbaijani Plov. It was good but arguably could have done with a little more meat-to-rice ratio. We also ordered three of them, but staff said only two could be made, which was strange as we were the first seating for a Friday dinner.
Dessert wise, the Pakhlava wasn't great - I know it's the Azeri version of the Turkish classic, but it wasn't what I was expecting, it was much harder.
That said, would happily recommend the restaurant for anyone looking for something a little different in London.
