Kurdistan Caffèe — Restaurant in London

Kurdistan Caffèe isn’t flashy—it’s soulful. Tucked into the vibrant hum of Church Street, this modest café offers a deeply satisfying slice of Kurdish hospitality, where freshly baked bread meets slow-cooked comfort, and every dish feels like it’s been passed down through generations.

Atmosphere The space is compact, with just a handful of tables, but it buzzes with warmth. You’ll see regulars chatting over tea, newcomers peeking at the grill, and staff moving with quiet pride. It’s casual, cash-only, and refreshingly unpolished—more home kitchen than high street café.

Food & Drink The menu is a celebration of Kurdish staples, served generously and without fuss:

Chicken kebabs & lamb quzi – tender, aromatic, and grilled to perfection

Lentil soup – velvety, spiced, and deeply comforting

Tannour bread – baked fresh on-site, warm and fragrant, ideal for scooping up hummus or wrapping around grilled meats

Falafel platters with salad & hummus – vibrant, satisfying, and vegetarian-friendly

Kurdish tea – strong, aromatic, and essential to the experience

Prices are modest, portions generous, and the flavours linger long after...

We had high hopes for this Kurdish café after reading other reviews, but unfortunately, the experience was deeply disappointing. The meat was clearly of poor quality, gristly, dry, and tasted cheap. The bread, which is usually a highlight in Kurdish cuisine, was far too salty.

What made things worse was the cleanliness of the place, the overall atmosphere just felt unhygienic.

Sadly, this was not an authentic or enjoyable experience. Definitely won’t be returning, and I cannot recommend it to anyone looking for quality Kurdish food, the restaurant nextdoor is so much better or others on...

I always go and eat there the food taste nice but this morning went and I asked the guy Doing the Fatayer to do me lahum agun with fresh chilli he was rude and answered no sorry I don’t do it what type of customer service when customer ask for something add on to their food you’ll get paid extra plus you’ll make your customer happy to eat what loves what he wants to eat not what you want to eat so I went further down to different restaurant done it with big smile in his face. Please customer service is first thing because it is a word of mouth...
