About Azmar Restaurant

Azmar Restaurant serves Middle Eastern food on Edgware Rd in London, with mezze, skewered meat, and shawarma on the menu. Kaleh Pacheh, a sheep head-and-trotter dish, is offered as a full serving alongside recurring orders like the Lamb Kuzi and a mix grill that includes lamb. Meals arrive with complimentary starters, fresh naan and bread, salad, lentil soup, and pickles, plus free tea. Staff bring dishes out in courses, starters first, and portions run generous throughout, including a lamb shank served in a large portion. The restaurant takes walk-ins rather than bookings, with no reservations needed before sitting down.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often single out the lamb kuzi, described as tender, rich and deeply flavoured, with the mixed grill and a big lamb shank close behind. One diner calls the kaleh pacheh outstanding. Nearly everyone mentions the free starters that arrive before the main course: lentil soup, fresh naan, salad, pickles and hummus, along with plenty of tea. Portions are described as generous and fairly priced, and the Kurdish cooking is called authentic, with one Iraqi-born diner saying it recalls restaurants back home. Service is called friendly, welcoming and fast, and the restaurant is described as very clean. The one criticism comes from a reviewer who rated the food and service highly but found the atmosphere so poor that they might order takeaway next time. Another accepts waiting for freshly prepared food. A repeat visitor sums up the experience by saying you will definitely leave with a full stomach.

    “I am originally from the north of Iraq and now live in Edinburgh. Every time I visit London, I make sure to come to this amazing place at least once or twice. In fact, there have been times when I’ve travelled to London with no other reason than to eat here. Although I have eaten at many Kurdish restaurants in UK disappointingly which I always compare them to you but sadly nothing like what you guys provide. What makes this place so special is its uniqueness and simplicity. Please don’t ever change it or modernise it—that is exactly what I love about it. It reminds me of the traditional restaurants back home and brings back wonderful memories. I have tried many dishes here, and every single one has been exceptionally delicious. As someone who enjoys cooking traditional dishes for family and friends, I can always tell when food has been prepared with love, care, and passion, and that is exactly what you taste here. I never mind waiting for my food because I know it is freshly prepared and always worth the wait. The portions are also generous and great value. A heartfelt thank you to all the staff for your hard work, dedication, and for consistently providing such a wonderful dining experience.”

The service was excellent, very friendly, attentive and impressively fast. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it a lovely place to enjoy a meal.
