  “This is a fantastic family‑run Kurdish restaurant serving totally authentic cuisine, and the quality here is honestly second to none. The meat is absolutely top quality — I had the lamb sheesh kebab, and it was so tender, juicy and full of flavour it just melted in the mouth. It comes with fresh salad, delicious sauces and warm naan bread, which they keep refilling for you again and again until you are full — such a lovely touch and great value too. I’ve also tried the grilled sea bass on a previous visit and that was excellent as well; perfectly cooked, fresh and full of taste. It’s not a fancy or overly dressed‑up place — it’s just a proper, everyday local gem — but it is always busy, and that alone tells you everything you need to know about how good it is. If you’re coming with family or a larger group, there’s seating upstairs too, which is perfect because the downstairs area can get very lively and packed out. The service here is honestly the best I’ve experienced anywhere. The owner is incredibly efficient, warm and welcoming, and he really goes out of his way to make sure you have everything you need and that you’re enjoying your meal. Every single time you visit, they bring you a complimentary bowl of rich, tasty lamb soup while you wait for your food — such a nice, generous tradition that really adds to the experience. I travel specifically to come here because I know the quality will always be perfect, the food authentic and the welcome genuine. If you love great Kurdish food, fresh ingredients and service with a smile, you absolutely have to visit — you won’t be disappointed!”

  “Five stars without hesitation. I have been coming to Kurdistan Restaurant for more than ten years, usually every couple of months, and it remains one of my favourite places to eat in Sheffield. The grilled meats are the anchor: lamb and chicken shish, kofte and other skewers, served with fresh salad and sauces that make the plate feel complete. The venue-baked bread is excellent and free-flowing, and the welcome bowl of lentil soup and bottle of water say a lot about the generosity of the place before the main food even arrives. The side accompaniments are also much better than routine: okra, aubergine, courgette, chickpeas, tabbouleh, and even a spiced apricot and raisin option. The lamb or chicken quozy with rice is very satisfying, and the Friday dolma and Saturday bulgur-kofte are worth knowing about. Downstairs is an unfussy dining room, with family dining upstairs. When it gets very busy, service can get a little frayed and execution may vary slightly, but the baseline has always remained comfortably good, and the welcome stays warm, informal and good-natured. Generous portions, fresh cooking, free-flow bread and fair pricing make this one of Sheffield’s best-value meals. I have introduced many friends to it, and many have become regulars too.”

  “Food wasn't as tasty as it used to be. The kubz (bread) was the tastiest I have had in a very long time. I couldn't get enough of it. Unfortunately the food itself was a big disappointment..”

  “The food is just awful! The soup is disgusting, the rice is undercooked and the lamb chops smell very odd, not fresh at all. My family is soo disappointed, as we didn’t prepare anything else for dinner. It’s such a waste of money and time. Everything went to the bin!”

  “That is my second visit to the place. It’s a nice little restaurant. Fairly budget friendly with good quality food. Just an area for improvement in the service. As the place was busy I struggled to find someone to ask about the meals and when I asked if a meal comes with brianni rice or regular rice the answer was no you have to pay for brianni rice separately in slightly loud voice which made people turn there heads and was abit embarrassing as it was just a question not a request 😅 Again the place was very busy so I understand the pressure. But little things matter. Anyway, lovely place and good food.”

  “Ma Sha Allah fantastic food, plenty of selection from grill to traditional Kurdish recipes - perfect for a quick healthy bite or family meal with amazing Kurdish hospitality. Ask for home made Laban - yogurt based drink. #HalalLife”

  “Their Kebab is really good, It’s not always easy to find good (not very oily) Kebab in England. the tabouleh is so good. Humous looks weird, the texture is weird very thin they need to make it thicker,but the taste is ok.”
