“One of a kind 💕 Staff are sweet and very helpful. Food portion is too generous, or maybe it's my stomach size problem. The dining area is on the first floor, cozy and clean.”

“We had a wonderful dining experience here recently. The food was fresh, flavorful, and served piping hot. The portions were generous for the price, and the overall atmosphere of the restaurant was cozy and inviting. The service was attentive and friendly throughout our visit. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great meal in the area”

“We found this place after a Google search.. we were enticed by the reviews.. we love Middle Eastern food but we’re intrigued by the Kurdish description. We ordered the chicken Qozi and the Lamb shawarma, glasses of Ayran and a pastry dessert.. The food was absolutely delicious.. my lamb shawarma was the best I’ve had even in the Middle East.. and my husband loved his chicken Qoti.. we both loved the soups and the chicken with rice .. delicious.. we chose to eat in..the staff were really kind and friendly and a steady stream of customers supported our feeling that this is a very special place to eat.. we shall definitely come again ! Thank you for a very lovely meal!”

“Very good service, very attentive and polite staff. They gave me and my friend a complimentary soup to open our fast (free), and it tastes great. Though I went for the Chicken Shawarma - the size and taste of it was amazing and for the price of £4 it’s well worth it. Next time I’ll try the lamb or the kebab deals they have. This was my first time and it was really good!!!”

Customer Review Summary
Shawarma is the dish reviewers raise most, with both lamb and chicken praised as exceptional, and one diner calling the lamb the best they had even in the Middle East. Close behind are the lamb and chicken sheesh, described as juicy and tender, and a lamb shank said to melt off the bone. Diners also name the Iraqi Tapsi soup, chicken Qozi, and drinks like Ayran and lassi. Portions are called generous, and staff are described as kind, friendly and attentive, with a cozy, clean dining area on the first floor. Three reviewers were far less happy. One found the platter's kobeda kebab slim over thin naan, disliked the liver, and found the Kurdish tea bitter. Another received chicken shawarma on a poppadom instead of mixed shawarma on chips, wings instead of lamb chops, and an Irn Bru instead of the drink requested. A third ordered two kebabs, received one, and said it had hardly anything on it. Some diners were given a complimentary soup, which one pair received to open their fast and found tasty.
