Customer Review Summary
Diners most often open with the complimentary soup that arrives at the table, called delicious and excellent, usually alongside hot flatbreads. Mains follow close behind, led by lamb qursi with extra lamb in massive chunks and a three skewers meal cooked on the open grill. Others praise tender, juicy chicken and lamb, fish cooked perfectly, biryani, shawarma with rice, and a charcoal-style burger one reviewer's son loved. Humous comes with fresh home made flat bread. Many cite the portions and value for money as the reason they return again and again. Reviewers describe the staff as friendly and quick, the room as clean and spacious, and the booths as suiting families and groups. The one complaint is a long wait for food on a busy Saturday, though that diner still rated the meal highly. Several describe the meal beginning the same way, with free soup and hot flatbreads set down on arrival.

“The food was amazing! We waited a while for it to come, but it was Saturday and really busy, but it was definitely worth the wait. If you're on Smithdown Rd, it's definitely worth a visit.”

“I’d genuinely say this is my favourite restaurant in Liverpool. The Kurdish lads in here are spot on and very quick, no messing about! You get free soup on arrival with hot flatbreads. The food is lovely and boss value for money, 3 of us have been in here before had starters and big mains each and it’s came to just over 60 quid. Couldn’t reccomend enough deffo worth a visit 👍”

“The kurdish restaurant gets all stars from me,the moment I walked in,the service and atmosphere was everything I could ask for,a very relaxed feel with settng that would be suitable for all occasions, to start,complimentary soup that was tremendous and a menu clear and colourful,with combinations available to suit most,I swiftly ordered and enjoyed the short wait until served watching the world go by, The food was freshly prepared on the open grill,vibrant fresh salad and bread cooked to perfection and plentiful, I got the three skewers meal,and every part of it was thoroughly enjoyable, I found parking nearby easily enough, And dining alone really comfortable, And the 20 mile journey worth every effort, The kurdish restaurant was recommended to me,and I would recommend it to anyone Looking for great fresh food,in a superb comfortable setting,amongst a lovely mix of people, A great place,bringing people together, Back real soon ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
