16 best restaurants in Lankaran

Updated July 2026 · 16 venues

Lankaran cooks with a southern accent all its own. On Azerbaijan's humid subtropical coast near the Iranian border — tea country, citrus and rice — the local table leans on herbs, Caspian fish and lavangi, walnut-and-herb stuffing roasted in fish or chicken. It is the food of the Talysh region, distinct from anywhere else in the country. Limi gathers Lankaran's restaurants so you can taste the south before exploring the coast.
