  “I went here for the first time last night. Unusually for me, I had a kebab the night before on the Albert Road. The Kurdistan Resturant was a different experience. There was a lovely lentil soup provided when you sat down, on the house, and a lovely salad and bread. A great menu. I had a lamb shawarma in bread. Was delicious and I was shocked at how reasonable it was. Will definitely be back.”

  “Best review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best restaurant experiences we’ve ever had! The food was absolutely delicious, full of authentic flavour, and the portions were incredibly generous. We tried the okra, kebab, dolma and sea bass, and everything was excellent. What impressed us most was the quality and taste of the food, as well as the fantastic portion sizes. Even our kids enjoyed the food so much, which made the experience even more special for our family. A truly wonderful place with delicious food and generous portions. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Kurdish food! ❤️”

  “I recently visited this place again, and once again, it exceeded my expectations. I originally came hoping to have their lamb doner because I had tried it on my previous visit, and it was honestly one of the best l've ever had. Unfortunately, it was sold out this time, so the staff recommended the chicken doner instead. What a recommendation! The chicken doner was absolutely incredible. The meat was juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Every ingredient tasted fresh, especially the salad, and the overall quality of the food was outstanding. I can really tell they don't compromise on quality. The presentation and plating were excellent, and everything was served with great attention to detail. The restaurant itself has a pleasant atmosphere, and the service was friendly and professional throughout. Taste-wise, this is easily one of the best kebab places I've been to. Whether it's the quality of the ingredients, the flavors, the presentation, or the service, everything was top-notch. Even though I missed out on the lamb doner this time, the chicken doner completely won me over. Highly recommended! I'll definitely be coming back again-especially for that lamb doner next time!”

  “Lunch after Friday Prayer with family. Short walk from Portsmouth Central Mosque. We ordered chicken and beef shawarma wrap & chicken shawarma plate. Lentil soup on the house. The taste was good. The portion is generous. Service was friendly, good and quick too. Its Halal. Good ambience comfortable and clean. Nice Kurds decor on the walls. Toilet is decent. Price is very reasonable especially if you are on a budget. Very good value. Recommended.”

  “Really good tasty food. This is our go to place in Portsmouth, affordable and good quantity. The lentil soup when you dine in is to die for,. Pro tip: add some sumac (the red coloured powder on the table) on top of the soup and it just elevates the taste.”

  “We had Iftar here yesterday and had an amazing experience. They kindly served complimentary lentil soup and dates, which was such a thoughtful touch. We ordered the Red Lamb Kuzi with rice, Mix Grill with salad, houmous, and baba ghanoush, . Everything was delicious and reasonably priced. The lamb was incredibly tender, the kebabs were fresh and juicy, and the sides were full of flavour and perfectly prepared. Overall, a fantastic experience — we’ll definitely be coming back again. Highly recommended!”

  “Food and service here was excellent. First time eating in but have been a long time lurker (ordering takeaway). I knew it would be better eating in and it was. Everything just that bit more fresh than delivery obviously. The guys serving were all very friendly. We ended up ordering far too much food and left a lot which made us feel idiotic, next time I'll definitely calm down. Meat wise; chicken wings were fantastic, the lamb kofta was crispy and so falvourful on the outside yet just over pink inside giving a great texture. The chicken shawarma plate lived up to expectations being a huge portion inclusive of salad, rice and chips. The breads are also super tasty eating in, they are warm, fluffy and a bit crispy in places. Definitely going to visit in the restaurant again, one of my favourite meals in a while. Unfortunately I didn't get many photos as we were frantically scoffing by the time all of the dishes arrived.”

  “I have visited this place several times, and overall the food has been very delicious. I’ve tried different items from the menu, and most were full of flavor and well prepared. The Sharma platter was the best item I have ever tried—fresh, tasty, and perfectly balanced. On my most recent visit, I tried the fish kebab. While the quality was good, it was a bit too salty for my taste. Overall, it’s a great place for flavorful food, and with a small improvement in seasoning, it could be even better.”
