    “Very tender lamb tikka and a flavourful biryani, although the rice was slightly firmer than I would have preferred. The service was good, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the staff were helpful and attentive throughout. Will be visiting again soon.”

    “If you're looking for lamb kebabs with a distinct flavor from Koobideh or other Asian varieties, this is a must-try. They go perfectly with the flatbread, onions, and charcoaled tomatoes. I usually finish with their complimentary Kahwa, which is always fresh.”

    “We ordered lunch from Slemani Restaurant for our organisation for around 50 people, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Dara helped me with the ordering and coordination, and he was absolutely brilliant. He made sure everything would be right on the day and was incredibly reliable and supportive throughout the whole process. His customer service was genuinely outstanding. The food itself was wonderful. We have a very diverse community with people from many different countries and cultures, and everyone loved the food. and it covers everyone (Halal, Vegetarians, Vegans..) There were lots of compliments, and people were genuinely happy and satisfied. Dara didn’t just provide exactly what we ordered — he went above and beyond and made sure we were well looked after in every way. Everything was delivered as promised, and more. I would highly recommend Slemani Restaurant for both small and large events, and we’ll definitely continue ordering from them regularly, including for our bigger events in the future.”

    “I came all the way from Ireland to visit this place, and it was absolutely worth it. The food was incredibly delicious, fresh, and full of authentic Kurdish flavors. The service was excellent, the staff were very friendly, and the restaurant was extremely clean. Slemani Restaurant truly reflects real Kurdish hospitality. Highly recommended — I will definitely come back again!”

    “I came here last week with my Mum. It was super busy and we couldnt get seating. However a hard working staff member called Faraz was so kind to me and my mum and really accommodated to us and everyone else there. We felt really taken care of depsite it being so busy and he even gave us a booth even though it was just the two of us. Super happy. I dont usually tip but I left a tip for Faraz as I saw how hard he was working around the restaurant. The food was amazing too as always and My mum loves Slemani and all the staff are so kind. We had a really good time. But this was the cheery on top. We plan on going back soon. Thanks to all the staff !!”

Customer Review Summary

Lamb kebabs are what diners single out most, described as fresh and balanced in spices, with a flavour distinct from koobideh, and served with hot thin naan, onions and charcoaled tomatoes. Close behind is the lamb kozi, where one reviewer received a large, tender shank in a delicious broth with courgette, okra and beans. Others praise the lamb tikka, the biryani and an aubergine curry. Salads and sauces arrive in abundance, and one organiser who ordered lunch for around 50 people says the food suited halal, vegetarian and vegan guests. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and welcoming, and one diner describes being given a booth during a very busy spell. The criticisms are specific. One reviewer found the flavours mild and felt other places do better, and another found the biryani rice slightly firm. A one-star review reports only one of two chicken shawarmas arriving, a white hair in the food, and a waitress who ignored the complaint. Several reviewers finish with the complimentary tea, called Kahwa or black tea, which one says is always fresh.
