Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the authentic Kurdish cooking, especially grilled meats such as the chicken sheesh kebab and chicken tikka, described as juicy and full of flavour and served with rice and salad. The chicken Qozi with rice and soups and a platter are also called fresh and delicious, and several say the dishes taste homemade. Close behind is the ayran, which two reviewers single out, one calling it perfectly balanced and refreshing. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly and welcoming, service as quick, and a few mention a clean, peaceful room suited to family meals. Generous portions and reasonable prices come up too. One reviewer dissents, calling the food quality poor without naming a dish or saying what went wrong. A vegetarian option of rice with veggies gets a mention, and one takeaway customer got a large chicken kebab order completed without delay.

“This is one of those restaurants that does not require a "social media hype". It is a Clean place , brilliant, polite and warm customer service. I had the platter, absolutely delicious and fresh. A lovely place to take your family out to for a meal nice and peaceful. I believe it is Kurdish food , but I have seen people from other backgrounds here eating whilst I was because the food and service is that good.”

““I had a wonderful experience at this Kurdish restaurant in Birmingham. The food was fresh, authentic, and full of rich traditional flavors that truly reminded me of home. The service was excellent — the staff were friendly, welcoming, and very attentive. The restaurant itself was clean, comfortable, and had a lovely atmosphere, perfect for enjoying a meal with family or friends. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to experience real Kurdish cuisine in Birmingham.””
