Bistro 4293

I’m baffled by the great reviews- nice atmosphere, good service with an attentive waiter who was well versed on the menu, mediocre food at best. Mixed appetizer plate: Eggplant rolls were good, hummus was fine, but calamari and shrimp were straight from the freezer to the deep fryer. Dumplings were dry and tasteless. Tzatziki had no discernible cucumber or garlic. Mangal was similar to baba ghanoush but without the tasty smokiness. Olives were standard but not great. The light and fluffy warm pita was good. Main: branzino was overcooked, over salted, and appeared to be pan fried, not mesquite grilled. Mashed potatoes were tasty. Accompanying mixed greens were straight out of the bag and topped with bottled dressing. Don’t even think about ordering the wine; stick to water or a

The food was decent but the service needs improvement. They are a newer restaurant and I can understand they are learning but at some point I felt Im sitting at the restaurant from The Bear show. There were some issues with reservations of some guests, not sure if they had overbooked or what. I also overhead from the table next to us that they missed one of their orders and they were sorta rushing them to leave within an hour. The portions were also small for the price we paid but the taste was good.

Authentic Azerbaijani restaurant with good variety of Azeri cousins. Food is delicious and fresh, mostly meat based with a few veggie options and sea foods. Great variety of wines including European ones. Has mostly indoor seating with large back yards area / patio for seating and private parties. Good for groups, meetup, gathering, and date night. Anar, the owner, is super nice guy with welcoming and engaging attitude. He may stop by at your table for a quick sweet chit chat. Service is quick and responsive. Atmosphere is a bit upscale quiet but depends on the groups and people around. Free and paid street parings available.

I want to leave an honest review — this place truly deserves attention. I ordered the khan plov in lavash, and it was absolutely amazing! Tender meat, sweet fruity notes, and the aromatic, crispy lavash create a combination you’ll never forget. The lamb chops were also outstanding: super tender, juicy, and melting in your mouth. One of those dishes you want to photograph and order again. The cocktails were very delicious, beautifully presented, and complemented the dishes perfectly. The service is excellent, the staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is cozy. Overall — a fantastic experience. I will definitely come back and recommend this place to anyone who loves rich and flavorful cuisine.

There is nothing like getting together to celebrate the joy of a family gathering. I couldn't have asked for a better restaurant to provide an intimate room for my family to gather and share delicious Azerbaijani cuisine, slow braised succulant lamb and simmered sauces. Their signature mixed plate served to whet the appetite but we didn't have to wait long for our entrees. We shared a variety of unique desserts that were delicious. Our wait staff and the owner, Anar, were welcoming and filled with stories that only added to our appreciation of our dinner. I'd highly recommend Bistro 4293 to anyone for their food, ambiance and service. It was a wonderful evening I will remember. Many thanks!
