The interior space preserves the architectural character of a residential building from that era while functioning as a contemporary dining venue.
The restaurant draws its name from the Shirvanshah dynasty, rulers of parts of Azerbaijan from the ninth through sixteenth centuries, with displays and artifacts in the space referencing this period. The building itself reflects the era when such noble households shaped the region's development.
