The place is, of course, iconic. Iconic and popular thanks to the great people who created this film. But the cafe and its owners have nothing to do with them. We went to a cafe with my family, took a table, made an order. I took a photo of the menu we were given in advance. We ordered kutabs with meat, kutabs with herbs, khinkal, baklava, tea with thyme. The only thing that could be eaten was tea. The kutabs are disgusting. We couldn't even taste the khinkal because the meat was disgusting. He asked for the bill. They brought it with an amount twice as much as according to my calculations. To my question "why is that?" it started - where did you get the menu, it's old, etc. etc. At that moment, the woman promptly handed some menu to her grandmother and she quickly took it out of the hall. I stated that I would only pay according to the menu and presented the photo. Then they could no longer deny it and replaced the bill. I paid for it and we left. I don't advise you to set foot here anymore. It's not worth it.

It is noisy and loud, although the only table with a beautiful vodka in the center of the table is occupied. It is dirty at the level of an unsanitary provincial canteen. The smells of the kitchen, the streets are all in the hall. Aromas. Complete speculation on the diamond hand brand
In the same building there is some kind of shop, either souvenir or junk...And in the depths - in the ruined garbage interior - the office of the travel agency "Diamond Tours" itself.The toilet is a horror. I've been on terrible excursions. This one took the honorable ETERNAL first place.
On the day of the purchase of the tour, there was one clock at 16, and already at 21 pm it was offered to be postponed an hour earlier-allegedly because of the suddenly revealed circumstances of the change in daylight, naturally for the sake of our safety, which was announced in the correspondence. Having received a refusal to postpone the time, we returned to the original time indicated in the voucher. And the sudden early blackout and our safety merged into the toilet.
Promises to send photos of the meeting place remained promises. They refused to pick us up. We picked up the Israelis at the hotel. The so-called guide spoke for a few minutes about the program in Russian and English, after which he sat down with the driver and chatted with him all the way, interrupting for short messages along the route. The city of Guba opened for us with a message about this and a sanitary stop . There is zero information. Then we went to the village of Kanolug. We ate for 12 manats in the house of a so-called local resident, bought socks knitted by them, fed the driver and the so-called guide. We went down a terrible slope in the mud and with fear of falling (because of the rain) to the car, walking like through the village. And they went to Baku. We stopped again in Guba to buy junk at prices three times the price. It's a Lip. Bottom line: during the 12-hour trip, we ate dried chicken shanks near the border with the Russian Federation with Dagestan, bought an apple and pink syrup. We got wet and shot a couple of mediocre locations in the mountains.
In my opinion, this is just a scam....
I categorically do not recommend this so-called Agency. They are speculating on the Diamond Hand brand. There is an indistinct cafe with an indistinct menu and staff, and this is an incomprehensible miracle tour.
LIFE HACK. We shot on the cobblestones, like "damn it" AND RAN FROM THERE PAST THE CAFE, THE SHOP AND THE TEZ TOUR TRAVEL AGENCY ITSELF. God bless you.

A cozy and atmospheric place!
Delicious homemade food and nostalgia for Soviet cinema. I especially recommend Pomegranate wine!
