Kurdistan Restaurant Birmingham — Restaurant in Birmingham

Avoid! This is highly rated, read a lot of good reviews and decided to pay visit. Arrived at 11PM a couple weeks ago only to find it closed (despite their closing time online being listed at 3AM...). Came back the following week and I wish we hadn't.

To quote the gentleman at the till "this is traditional kurdish food, this is the best kurdish restaurant in Birmingham". If it is then its an indictment on kurdish food as a whole. They could stand to learn a thing or two about spices from the British...

We arrived at 8.30PM and every item on the menu was sold out. The waitress recommended lamb qozi over rice as an alternative to the biryani (according to her it's identical). What we received was boiled lamb with boiled rice. Likewise the chicken qozi is boiled chicken over boiled rice. The potato and okra sides tasted identical - a tomato sauce that's dominated with oil and salt. The mixed grill plate - a skewer each of chicken, lamb and lamb mince kebab, all of which were tough, dry and salty. The naan where cold and rock hard, shatter like a poppadom.

The mixed salad to be fair was fine, but standard fare that you can get at literally any Arab joint in the city.

The place is clean as are the toilets. Staff are...

At the recommendation of a friend, I visited Kurdistan Restaurant in Birmingham for the first time, and it turned out to be an outstanding experience. The restaurant has a beautiful, warm, and welcoming atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at ease. The staff were extremely friendly, polite, and professional, which made my visit even more enjoyable.

Upon arrival, I was served a bowl of hot and delicious soup as a starter, which tasted wonderfully homemade. For the main course, I ordered lamb neck and fish, and both were absolutely amazing — far beyond my expectations. The lamb was tender and full of flavor, while the fish was perfectly cooked and seasoned with authentic spices, making each bite unforgettable.

The prices were surprisingly reasonable, especially considering the high quality of the food and the pleasant dining environment. It truly felt like excellent value for money.

Without a doubt, if I visit Birmingham again, I will definitely return to this restaurant, and I will wholeheartedly recommend it to all my friends. It’s an experience...

delicous food for good price. after reconstruction very lovely place to eat. stuff is friendly always. actually my husband just went there now to get us some rice and lamb quozi 😋 keep it up good work x

I just want to update my review went back to Kurdistan restaurant on Rookery road. And the service we received was above brilliant! The lady which was serving us I think her name was Aida she had highlighted hair. Was so friendly and polite , was joking with my sons, making them and us laugh. Gave them sweets. I had to tell her that she is lovely and friendly she gave me back big smile. When we were leaving we forgot our packed food on table we were in car just about to drive a way when I saw her quickly walking towards our car with our food which we forgot. I thought waw this is very nice of her. If is it somewhere else they wud just put the food back in kitchen or throw it the bin. Food as usual was lovely I usually have same dish rice with lamb quzi and side dish okra - bamya absolutely love it. My husband had mixed quzi and kids had burgers....
