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 friendly. No parking.
