Absolutely brilliant Kurdish food. Must trys include the lamb kebab, the chicken kebab and the slow cooked lamb in gravy. The service person was all smiles and efficient. Highly recommend the place for a flavour packed meal.
The food was delicious, very fresh, well cooked, they had the most delicious dessert I've ever tried in my life!. This place has a relaxed, casual vibes, very clean and spacious. Our waiter was very nice and explained to us the menu, very cheerful as well😊👌
Food was delicious, the staff including the owner were very friendly and welcoming. Had a mix grill platter and chicken shawarma. We loved the terrace over Victoria Street
Notice they changed their name to Daika, so when you’re following the map, look for Daika instead.
Great Kurdish restaurant, very fresh and flavorful food. You’re greeted with fresh flat bread that is fantastic. The fattoush salad was excellent as well.. The Huumus with lamb, baba gannoush and kebabs were wonderful, the cardamon ice cream and coffee were a delight
The mixed grill was delicious. All the lamb cubes, lamb and chicken kebab were pleasantly flavourful. Both the kebabs were tender. The lamb cubes could have been more tender, but was still acceptable.
The prawn grill was either over cooked or prawns used were not fresh. The scales of the prawn were stuck to the prawn flesh, and it was also tough, almost like rubber.
The naan was nice on the edges, where it was thicker and puffier, but the middle of the naan was overly dried and hard, much like a biscuit, than a bread.
The hummus was a tad sour, possibly too much lemon juice, but overall, still a good smooth hummus.
Grilled meat is like the one that our fathers make in our garden. Can't describe how delicious it is. So fresh and so tasty. Unfortunately I don’t have more photos as we we’re extremely hungry and at the end we fell into a post-dinner food coma 😀
Thank you Chef 👨🍳
Delicious Middle Eastern cuisine right by the castle. My partner and I shared the lamb shawarma wrap and ordered a hummus appetizer. We both agree it was the best hummus we’ve ever had! The atmosphere was also nice and we had a lovely view by the window. The staff was also attentive :)
This place holds a good experience.
Upon arrival my friend I were warmly welcomed, and then taken to a seating place of our choice inside the restaurant. Arabian music in the background, and the seating space is quite nice actually. They even have seating spaces outside if that’s what you fancy. The food arrived pretty quick, and it was all fresh. Everything I ordered I was happy with, I can not falter their food. Honestly, the place is great!
Omg Kurdish vibes, defo check this place out, loved all the foods starters to salad to mains yummmmmmm , the slow cooked lamb was so tender. Loved this food, the best and free Shesha in the end was just perfect alhamdulillah 👌 🙌
