A very pleasant place. First of all, I will note the interior - it is comfortable both in the hall and on the terrace. It is convenient that there is a division into smoking and non-smoking zones.
In the kitchen, everything that was ordered is delicious. Eggplant caviar is just amazing!
While we were making an order, it seemed that we would have to finish ordering something else from the hot, in fact, not even all the things we ordered could be eaten right away.
The cost is above average. Get ready to beat the piggy bank)
The service is close to perfect, the waiters are polite and as tactful as possible.
One of the great advantages of the establishment is the distance between the tables on the terrace.

The restaurant is weird. It is located in a very beautiful place, with a beautiful view of the lake. The room is spacious, but the furniture could be newer and cleaner. The staff is polite.
A strange way to order: you select dishes on a tablet, call the waiter and show him. You cannot call the waiter via the tablet.
The choice of dishes is not too big. The food may be cooked well, or it may be strange or incomplete. With such a high price tag, you expect more delicious food and better service.

Location -5. Excellent view of Komsomolsk Lake from the terrace. A large area. Convenient parking.
Food -4. Mainly oriental cuisine. Excellent pilaf, but I expected the best from the barbecue. It's too dry.
Interior -4. In general, everything is fine, but everything is spoiled by the abundance of artificial flowers.
Service-4. Order via tablet. The staff is polite and attentive, but the waiter should approach customers more often.

Sooooo pleasant, comfortable, beautiful environment. Beautiful, pleasant territory. Decent parking. There are no complaints about the kitchen. But I want a highlight. All the dishes are ordinary. It will be the same in the next canteen. Taking into account the prices, the service can be improved. Until you ask for it, the plates will not be removed from you (in my case). A suitable place for pretentious meetings, that's it! It is suitable for this. But there is a lot to grow. In general, my attitude is positive. I liked.

It is very pleasant that our favorite restaurant "Astoria Riverside" preserves traditions and offers new things. The special charm of our meeting of friends was given by the wonderful specialist Teymur, whose advice turned out to be very useful. We are grateful to everyone who made our dinner delicious and beautiful! Well, your "SHAH PILAF" deserves a separate commendatory review! We recommend it to everyone who has not tried it yet, and we express our delight and respect to the chef! See you soon!

A charming establishment, courteous staff, fast delivery, the dishes are all hot with fervor from the heat. I visited this restaurant for the first time, I was very impressed. I am very pleased with the harmony with nature (this is so lacking in the city center). The atmosphere of complete relaxation and enjoyment in the evening.
Thanks to everyone who is responsible for organizing and implementing such a wonderful place.

A wonderful corner of natural beauty.
There is everything for a good rest in nature. With company, with children (excellent playgrounds around the perimeter of the recreation area).
Comfort, coziness, delicious food, good service, chic interior and natural design. The most beautiful place ...

The graduation from the university took place in this place. Perfectly! The territory is large. There is a river nearby (or whatever it is), but you need to beware of mosquitoes in summer. The building itself is beautiful and large. 3 universities celebrated together. There was enough space to dance, and a bar, and a separate room was made for karaoke / board games, etc. There is also a separate room for hookahs. The photos came out great. The organization of the VIP graduation was super. I recommend

05 06 2024 celebrated the wedding evening at the Astoria restaurant.
Approximately 05/25/2024 we arrived to choose a place, we were met by a friendly girl, Evgenia, who told us everything and showed us and offered the best options for our holiday. I explained everything about the payment. We liked everything very much. After that, she told us that another manager would deal with us, who would contact us to coordinate the menu. 3 days have passed, and no one has contacted us, we called ourselves. They told you they would call you back, a day passed and no one called back. A day later, we called again, they told us they would call you back, and after 5 minutes, manager Farid finally called back, we expressed our dissatisfaction with him, to which he reacted violently, shoving all the blame on manager Evgenia, who allegedly had to send us the menu and coordinate. As a result of the conversation, he said that he would hold a preventive conversation with her, but refused to send the menu because we did not make an advance payment. The next day we made an advance payment, and after calling him again, he sent us the menu on May 29. We asked him to send us some standard menu options for such events in advance. As a result, on May 30, at 20.30, after another call, he sent us some kind of garbage with only tortillas. In our opinion, absolutely fuck off.
On May 31, we ourselves already went to the restaurant to make the menu, as we realized that it was impossible to solve the issues remotely with him. We went into the restaurant, we were met by a security guard, we asked our manager and Farid came out, to our question, where is Yevgenia, he said that after our conversation on the phone, where we complained that they could not even send us a menu, he fired her, since he is the head of banquets here, and she his subordinate.
As a result, he and I spent two hours compiling the menu, but we never made it to the end. He also deceived us with the payment, or rather with the cost, in the sense that he said, since you take a room for 20 people, then you should make a check for 20 hours at 170 rubles for each, despite the fact that you will be 13 people, it was to some extent a shock for us. We were outraged because there had never been such a conversation before.
Well, OK, we didn't have much options to refuse, because it's just not possible to find another place in 3-4 days, and the guests have already been invited. But at the time of the meeting with Farid, I was even ready for this option, because everything did not suit us, both the kitchen and his approach to our event, there was a complete feeling that we were greatly interfering with him and straining him. As a result, we agreed on something with him in 2 hours, but not everything, because he had some other important things to do. We asked to make a buffet for the guests at the entrance, to make a layout on the tables with the names of the guests, but Farid said that this was impossible. Because they are not an organizational service and he is not going to control it.
On June 4, in the evening, we arrived at the restaurant to leave alcohol and equipment for tomorrow's event and met Evgenia, we were very surprised because Farid said that she was fired. She was also in shock, but she kindly helped us. She said that she would organize both a buffet and a layout of cards with the names of the guests.
We left happy, because everything was clear and understandable with her.
On June 5, at 12 o'clock, Evgenia called and said that everything was ready, that by 16.00 she could arrive and everything would be ready. She organized the buffet and selected the dishes herself.
Arriving at the restaurant at 16.00, we were pleased with the organization on the part of Evgenia, by the way, I saw Farid out of the corner of my eye all evening, he just ran past once without even saying hello. Only at the end did he arrange a boorish meeting with an interrogation about what we didn't like. There are also a lot of questions about the menu that we made, because in fact the table was empty, and if Evgenia had made the menu, I think such a question would not have arisen.
Thank you very much to Evgenia's manager for accompanying our entire evening and solving all the questions about the organization that arose during the event! She made our holiday as comfortable as possible!!!
The kitchen - pilaf was not very good, there was a lot of rice and almost no meat, while the meat was not clear, as if pork or chicken, although veal was ordered. The pilaf turned out to be quite tasteless. The cuts of meat, the tongue of the basturm seemed to be slightly spoiled, there was a smell as if it was not fresher. The salads are good - caesar, roast beef, hot eggplant.
I really liked the waiters' service, they did everything very politely and diligently.
In general, all the staff except security and Farid were very polite and pleasant.
As a result, about the institution from 1 to 10
Manager Evgenia - 10
Manager Farid - 0
Kitchen - 6
Security - 4 (you need to be more polite and do not walk with the view of the most important)
Pastry chef Anna - 10 (also helped and organized everything)
Waiters - 10
Interior - 10
Cleanliness in the hall - 10
Cleanliness in the summer terrace - 7 (dust and cobwebs on the ceiling and roof structures near the bar)

We were there on Friday evening. We were lucky and found a table for two. All rooms and tables have been booked, so it is better to book a table in advance.
The kitchen is very tasty and beautiful. They cook quickly. I really liked the dessert in the form of seeds. Stylish and tasted like he was eating sunflower seeds.

A good Azerbaijani restaurant, with an appropriate menu and staff. For amateurs. However, everything is delicious, the service is fast, the portions are average. The establishment is suitable for large companies and holidays.

An institution that leaves mixed feelings. The exterior and interior look interesting and on the level. There are questions about cleanliness, there were crumbs and smudges on the same furniture. The furniture itself is, to put it mildly, worn out in places, much worn out by life. According to the food, it can be said that it is passable, for an inexperienced gourmet it will go. There are specialties and interesting dishes. The staff is neat and polite. The dishes are cooked for a long time and do not coincide with the announced time, they promise conditionally an hour of cooking, but as a result it may take two hours of waiting. A strange menu. You select it on an electronic tablet, and then you call the waiter so that he takes the order and writes it down for himself. And this is in the age of information technology. The room itself is stuffy, the air conditioners did not work. To summarize. For the price of the dishes, you want to get a much better service.

I'm just shocked by the service and cuisine of this restaurant!!!
Yesterday we walked with my husband and son nearby, decided to go in for a meal. It was on Sunday, at about 17.00. On an empty terrace, they found a place for us with a favor (all this time that we stayed there, empty sofas were and remained). The waiters did not approach us for a long time, when I already started calling at least someone, he showed up. I took a soup, lentil soup, my husband dolma and a flatbread similar to cheburek, my son took fries with nuggets from the Italian menu. My husband liked Cheburek, dolma was not tasty, bland.
But I started my soup, added all the seasonings that they serve to it, squeezed out a lemon, ate three spoons, and ...
I look in the soup - a HAIR!!! So black, I thought it seemed to me, but no!!! Hair, I also picked it up with a fork, to show my husband ... I called the waiter, to which he snatched the soup from me and muttered that he would replace it now. I asked him if he wanted to ask if I would like this soup??? I'm already silent about the fact that, at least I need to apologize!!!
Manager Farid (in my opinion, that's his name) came running, started telling me that this is such a seasoning))) I explained to him that I could distinguish the seasoning from the hair. Then he apologized, knowing in advance that there was a hair, but, you never know ... he brought a compliment dessert, in the form of a ball, sprinkled with a crumb of chocolate. Well, I wanted soup, but, okay, anything happens. I take a fork, push this ball through, it cracks in half, I spread the filling to see, and there is a green Midge!!! He's still running!!!
I call the waiter, he looked and said, so what's the big deal, he's alive!!! You never know where he got there, maybe they were carrying him from a flower or something!!! And that's the way it shows it to me. The manager came up to take a look, says he doesn't see anything. I then poked at the dessert and a midge ran out!!! Dissatisfied, he took the dessert and went! He brought some more dessert, as compensation, but I didn't even look at what was there. She refused and asked for the bill.
I've never seen such disgusting service anywhere!!! The waiters walk like zombies, no one smiles or says hello. The administrator is the same! The manager has no words at all!!! Such disrespect for visitors!!! We also thought to play a wedding for our daughter here!!!
It can be seen that the owners tried so hard, such a beautiful place, the restaurant itself is very beautiful, visually simple - Beauty!!!
But, the staff is disgusting!!! Especially these guys, the waiters, not only do they smell like sweat, but they also do their job with such a favor!!! Horror!!!
Dear founders!!! Just review your staff!!! Such a beautiful place and there is no hospitality, soul and comfort!!!

Обедали с детьми в этом ресторане. Очень красивое и просторное помещение. Несколько залов в разном стиле. Понравилась подача детского меню - большая, красивая раскраска. Порции с детского меню достаточно большие, еда вкусная. Времени много не было сидеть, так как зашли перекусить до заселения в отель, поэтому заказали то, что быстро готовиться - шашлык с гарниром. Мясо нежное и очень вкусное, подача на высоте, персонал приветливо и приятен.
Отличный ресторан для семьи и компаний.

Очень интересное и красивое место на берегу водохранилища. Сам ресторан состоит из нескольких залов и терасс на любой вкус. На огромной территории находятся места для отдыха, детская площадка, гостевые домики с мангалами, фотозона на берегу, прокат лодок. Меню хорошее. Т.к. ресторан азербайджанский, то можно попробовать фирменные блюда. Обслуживание на высоте, вежливо, четко без назойливости. Интерьер внутри также впечатляет и оставляет надолго положительные эмоции.

Two days ago, a children's birthday was celebrated in Astoria. Therefore, both children and adults were present in the company. I liked everything: the territory, the food, the service, the cozy calm atmosphere without excessively loud music that would interfere with the communication of the guests. I would like to say a special thank you to the waiter named Abbas. Thanks to him, we had the most pleasant impressions of the banquet. He quickly and promptly fulfilled all our requests and wishes, remaining friendly, tactful, and courteous throughout the evening. We believe that we were lucky with the waiter! Thanks also to other employees for the original presentation of pilaf with fire and the spectacular congratulations of the birthday girl with the removal of a cake with candles-fireworks. The child was happy!

I came to have lunch with my family. The price tag is above average. The price-quality ratio leaves much to be desired. It is not realistic to wait for the waiters at all. The feeling that I got into some kind of Russophobic place, the waiters of non-Slavic appearance are talking to the same people in their own language. Of the ordered, I liked only the duck salad (therefore 2 ). I had an expensive, not tasty lunch with poor service and in an unpleasant environment.

I didn't like the work of the hostess manager (blonde, tall). I'm attaching a photo. Almost the entire line of the first floor was FREE! They said there were no places. Only 3 tables are available in the smoking area.
We sat down there. Not a single table was occupied in an hour.
The manager's lies crossed out the desire to return. I do not advise you to come here, they will put you in a smoking corner, you will look at empty tables.
According to the menu. The scallops are delicious. Halibut is fresh without spices and salt.
The waiters are great.

Chic, there is chic. A very good place, the parking is gorgeous, of course they take beauty and a dish, and what else is needed, yes, the prices may bite someone, so be prepared, but this is not a dining room. Do you want to go to the dining room cheaply and without service. And everything is very clear here, it's not a shame to bring friends, by the way, to bring them here on a date, it's very atmospheric. Service at a height

I was at a big corporate event, about 360 guests. The food is great, everything is delicious. An interesting presentation of pilaf from the chef was. The waiters worked clearly and imperceptibly, thank you.
In general, the place can be safely recommended for large events. But I am sure that a small company will be quite comfortable there.

It's very beautiful inside. Probably outside, too, but in winter it is unclear and does not take my soul. We had dinner with the family (mom, dad, son and daughter) twice on February 20th and 22nd, 2024. Excellent service, separate respect to the waiter Turan. on the 20th we tried soups. The soups are very tasty, you will not regret it, you have tested them yourself: dovga, duchbar, broccoli cream soup, lentil soup and vegetable chicken soup in Caucasian style. Beef tartare for 29.0 rubles is five points, carpaccio for 35.0 is also good, but it would be better if the meat was placed immediately on a plate without a layer of unknown white sauce (my son refused to eat because of the sauce, but pine nuts on carpaccio were very good). The Sicilian sea bass for 80.0 rubles was good as a sea bass, but everything around it on a large plate is some kind of symphony. The dolma for 26.0 rubles was eaten, but was not impressed. But the dry white wine MEYSARI Sadaf for 110.0 Belarusian rubles was pleasantly pleased with the color, taste, and serving. Iskander cognac for 9.0 rubles for 50.0 g. soft, nutritious, but oh-oh-very sweet, too much caramel (I do not recommend it). There was also a salad with duck for 26.0 rubles, mango with spicy cherries, assorted sorbets/ice cream, mango-saffron dessert, water without gas 14.0 rubles for 850.0 g. and freshly squeezed juices for 10.0 rubles for 250.0 g. In total, by 522.0 Belarusian rubles. On the 22nd, we took a dry red Karabakh cabernet Sauvignon for 65
rubles. They took it because they had already tasted it before, an excellent wine. To eat, in addition to the proven soups, they took: kefte with grilled cheese for 29.0 rubles, suluguni cheese on the grill for 15.0 rubles and shah pilaf with veal for 65.0 rubles. It was just super delicious. The pilaf was served by the chef with a light, i.e. with fire, very beautifully. And there is really a lot of it, 1000.0 kg! That's enough for four people! We took half of it with us to the hotel. We also took water, juices, sorbets, desserts and something from the children's menu. The check amounted to 370.76 rubles. Decently less than the first time. An expensive restaurant, but very cozy and very tasty. I recommend it, but remember, it's expensive there. But if you don't lean heavily on wine, water, desserts and sorbets, then nothing is wrong...

I want to draw the attention of the management to the behavior of Farid's manager. The caustic nature of which does not allow us to use the services of this institution. A more interesting character still needs to be found. I can't describe how derogatory he is to people. I can only explain his behavior by the constant blockage of his sphincter. Wake up, his unwillingness to do anything outweighs all the possible advantages of the institution.

The food was not impressive. It's a beautiful pitch, but I expected the best. The service is good, there were a couple of complaints, but not critical. There were 20 people in the company on Friday.

I liked everything, the only salad with beef was overloaded with dressing, the taste of the ingredients was lost. But in general, Thank you More!
