Fresh, tasty and beautifully presented food. The portions are generous and the staff are very warm. The falafel was my favourite dish. I highly recommend this place!
We rarely come back to a restaurant as we want to try as many as we can. But not this, amazing Middle East/Persian inspired food. Very reasonably priced and you get really so much: a bowl of soup, excellent kebab/shish, nice plate of rice and some well seasoned salad. This should be much more popular!!
Delicious, authentic middle eastern food. Lots of vegetarian options. I’d recommend the lamb & chicken BBQ with salad & rice, and the falafels - they are so crispy & served with hummus. The baba ganoush is the best I’ve tried. The spinach and feta rolls are incredible - definitely get them as a starter.
“I tried the lamb shank, and it was absolutely phenomenal! The meat was tender and flavorful, falling off the bone with ease. The rich, savory sauce perfectly complemented the dish, and the sides were a great balance. It’s clear a lot of care goes into preparing it. Highly recommend ordering it if you’re visiting – definitely a standout item on the menu!”
Recommendation! Nice Kurdish /Persian / afghan inspired food. Very good kabob lamb and chicken kabob. Prices are reasonable and service is attentive and fast. Ayran is tasty and fresh. Fresh made bread Go here
The Kurdish kebabs are grilled to perfection, tender and flavorful, while the freshly baked bread is soft, warm, and pairs perfectly with any dish. The Kurdish doner is another highlight well-seasoned, and incredibly satisfying The ambiance is welcoming, and the staff are friendly and happy to explain the menu if you’re new to Kurdish food. Whether you’re dining in or taking away, you’re in for a treat. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to experience authentic Kurdish flavors in Belfast!
Absolutely blown away by this place! On a Day trip from Dublin had dinner on this place... The food was simply amazing, full of flavor and cooked to perfection. To top it off, they generously offered us complimentary soup, fresh fruits, and naan breads – such a thoughtful touch that made the experience even more special. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering the huge portion sizes. You definitely get more than your money’s worth here. The seating area is comfortable and clean, and the customer service was warm, attentive, and friendly throughout. Honestly, what more could you ask for? This spot is an absolute gem for kebab lovers. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to everyone I know!
Fantastic place with authentic Kurdish cuisine! Delishious, affordable, excellent and friendly customer service. Some nice vegan options, but the meat is outstanding too. We've brought friends visiting from abroad and they loved it!10/10 I highly recommend it!
