What a hidden gem. My favourite place of 2023 so far! We ordered - Shifta Burger with fries- Burger comes with 2 shifta patties which are full of flavours so you could have a juicy bite of beef in every bite. Loved the Beharat fries as well. They were seasoned with some mild spice mix & a sauce which was sooo good. Mezze Dips- It comes with a selection of dips and a Za’atar bread. Their Red pepper dip is to die for. So yumm! The dips are good enough for 2 breads. Veggie Mezze- Kubba dumplings were so tasty that I might order a separate plate of kubba dumplings when I visit next. 7 spice chicken and rice- The chicken was so tender yet juicy and flavourful. So so good! All the dishes were amazing but my fav was the shifta burger with fries. Highly recommend this place for good Kurdish food.
Great food. Loved the lamb burger and the mezze platter, so many fantastic colours and spices, very well presented. The chips with the pomegranate and mint were amazing. The customer service was on point. The waiter was very knowledgeable about the food and the menu. Will definitely come back again.
My first Kurdish food experience! Friendly staff, cozy interior, and of course food way above expectations! The orange juice was freshly made and its prob one of the best orange juice ive ever had, tried the tamatay ron and the aroma is amazing! The aubergines are so tasty, the samun bread is crispy, everything is just perfect here! Honestly was craving the shakshuka but accidentally ordered tamatay ron, still a wonderful choice! The portion is big enough too.
Absolutely fascinating place and what a joy to eat here! The food especially the Mezze is heavenly delicious and their range of juices are fresh and lovely. This family run place truly serve a modernised Kurdish cuisine with love and passion.
Outstanding Kurdish cuisine, all made fresh in the kitchen from the baklava to the pickles. Great value, especially if you come for lunch or breakfast. Service could sometimes be better but the food more than compensates.
Delicious. I had the shakshouka (? Sorry for my spelling!) and shared the AMAZING fries (they’re not just fries) with my friend. Lovely person working there too so felt really welcomed.
If you like clean fresh food, no heavy sauces, no meat, then this place is an excellent find. I can highly recommend the baclava if you have a sweet tooth. I didn't get a picture but I had the coconut one.
Would highly recommend for breakkie or lunch. The breakfast platter was delicious and we shared baklava for a sweet treat. The boreks also looked amazing which I would get if passing! Only downfall was my oat milk latte which was possibly the strongest coffee I’ve ever had... almost undrinkably so!
