It is beautiful and spacious, but I suspect that it is intended mainly for tourists.
The prices are high, even if compared with those in Moscow. We were with a local resident and he was haggling, so we managed to buy baklava, nuts, figs and dried fruits at a more or less adequate price. But she is not small either. There are a lot of non-local products and this is upsetting. If you want the same thing, but it's cheaper, you can go to any supermarket - especially with your own bakeries. As a result, I bought pomegranates there for 1 manat (there were from 2 to 5 on the market), and persimmons for 1.5, and baklava for 2 times cheaper.
But it's worth a walk around the bazaar - as a tourist destination. Well, to see how the famous black caviar is sold (they offer to try it)

The market is quite old. Lots of fruits and vegetables, herbs and dairy products. They sell beluga whales. At a price of 45 manats per kg. The fish is huge, almost 1.5 meters
There are dried fruits and nuts. Lots of dried herbs.

The market is the heart of the city. You can buy everything. Bargain and buy. But still, the market is chaotic as always with a lot of homogeneous goods. It seemed to me that it was still too small for Baku. And if we talk about prices, it's more expensive there than buying in stores. But the place is very atmospheric. I recommend.
