Meet the Team
Talha Barkin
Executive ChefTalha’s philosophy has roots in the environment he grew up in, where fresh, homegrown and in-season produce are a part of daily life. Home is Koycegiz, Mugla, a charming lakeside town in Mediterranean Turkey where his mother’s and grandmother's cooking, combined with abundant, soulful ingredients, inspired his palate at a young age. As a budding young chef, he gained exposure to world cuisine through worldwide assignments, and part of his 20-year career included winning medals in prestigious culinary competitions in Dubai. Talha is energetic, passionate and dedicated. Outside the kitchen, he has a penchant for gypsy violin music and vintage violins, and also plays violin recreationally.
“My intention is to always appreciate the value and origin of ingredients. With my acquired tastes and experience, I aim to create something that respects and brings out the ingredients’ natural character in a fine gastronomic presentation.”
Executive Sous Chef Luca Casini
Growing up with his grandparents in Italy, Chef Luca became enamored with watching his grandfather cook when Luca was 5 years old. Every summer, he and his grandfather would participate in food fairs in nearby villages, and by age 13, Luca was attending culinary school and working weekends in a professional kitchen. At 17, he obtained a position at one of Italy’s finest restaurants, Arnolfo in Colle di Val d’Elsa, and since then, he has travelled the world, honing his skills in such far-flung places as Bangkok, Cyprus and London. Here in Baku, he’s constantly striving for improvement, always seeking to provide each guest an unforgettable meal.
“The secret of a delicious meal is in treating the ingredients with respect."
