“ I absolutely loved this place the food is amazing I highly recommend it they make the food really seasoned and the chicken is super nicely cooked. ”
“ We ordered shawarma with nan, chicken kebab and variety of pickles with salad. Delicious and fresh food with decently spicy, good size portion. Ambience of the restaurant was nice, service was quick and helpful. There a public car park near. Highly recommended ”
“ Heard good things, popped in to try their food, ended up getting a take out order. We were served some nice hot lentils (dhaal) type homemade soup whilst waiting as originally we were going to eat in but later decided to take the order home to eat instead as I was tired from work and knew I’d want to ko with a food coma afterwards! We ordered a large mixed platter for £40 to serve 4. Generous portion size and contained all their grill range on a bed of different styles of their rices, nicely presented and hot. Topped with fresh made soft and fluffy naans. Got their Ayran carton to take away but if I ate in next time I’d try their own shop mixed version out of their mixer machine to see what that one is like. The carton one was very nice and brand I like. Overall the food was. All really nice, Kurdish cuisine had a different taste to Turkish food so you can’t compare the two even though they look the same. Hot and hearty food for a cold winters night went down well, naans were a pleasant surprise and really soft and fluffy throughout, just needed some sauces I had at home to elevate it for my own personal preference and it really did put me to sleep! The staff were also really nice and polite, I appreciate the hospitality as they were being really kind to us all the time we were there, so thank you. ”
