Whether you are looking for quick and fast solution for lunch or hangover starvation after midnight or just want to taste one of most consumed local fastfood, here we list 6 mostly visited and acclaimed döner joints in city centre of Baku.
Avtosh Doner
Story goes that youngster drivers waited to have streets fully empty until early morning to go drive crazy. They would treat themselves at this centrally located small doner joint, which is now so called ‘Avtosh Döner’ after the name given to those crazy drivers, open until very late. For some people that is one and only döner joint in the town. Their service is real quick and only take-away as there are no sit-ins. Bear in mind that their döners are little faty.
Döners from 2 azn, Drinks from 0.60 azn. Bül-Bül pr. +994553040202. No website. Open 10am-12am.
Berlin Doner
They say that “Döners of Berlin, Germany are different kind of döners.” Berlin Döner promises you that difference of taste. Just off the Fountains Square, it locates in the corner of Nizami street next to Fisinjan restaurant. You can also treat yourself with business launch (döner, lentil soup and ayran) for just 5 azn from 12:00 pm to 15:00 pm. If you happen to pay a visit during afternoon, then you get to deal with local custom of standing in line and waiting for about 5-7 minutes.

Bir Iki Doner
Bir Iki Döner made almost all social media talking about them when they came with cool idea of serving free döners during some of important public holidays.
