AI-generated summary

Azerbaijani food deep in south Brooklyn, and people say it's cheap. Get the guru hingal, plus the lamb kebabs and the lulya. One recent report says the quality has dropped badly across both a group dinner and a takeout order.

replying to u/Electrosnack: I was at Village Cafe last month--first time in about a year--and I thought it was still very good. The guru hingal, dziz biz, and lamb kebabs were great and very much like I remember them being.

replying to u/zekromy123456789: Holy shit I completely forgot about this place. Ye I’ve definitely been there and didn’t know it was so cheap its pretty authentic from what I know (obviously not better than my moms). Def gonna go by myself soon but if u find anything Turkish or Persian (mainly for the rice) on a similar caliber keep me updated!
