Had to be in Edinburgh on business so went in here on spec. So glad we did!!!!!! Lovely atmosphere friendly, professional staff and the food was freshly made and absolutely delicious. My husband had kofta and I had chicken, we both had rice. There was a large plateful each and a small dish of spinach and one of okra along with a large, fresh, nan. We were stuffed!!!!! It is not overpriced and it is a neat, clean restaurant. A hidden jewel practically next door to the Mosque. Definitely worth a visit and we will certainly make the 180 mile round trip to eat here again. Gorgeous Kurdish - Iraqi food. Thank you all at Erbil for a wonderful dining experience.

This is a lovely and hidden gem in Edinburgh that is so authentic and well prepared Kurdish and Middle Eastern specialties. The owner is a Kurd and a warm host who cares about each and every person that he and his staff feed. You can also order takeout. Well worth the visit. Situated right next to the University of Edinburgh, and nearby to the lovely Meadows gardens.

Had their Qozy Gosht, Baklawa Mix and Mango Sorbet delivered on Christmas because all the other places are closed and I wanted to try something new. 20 minutes later and my mind was blown.
The lamb was cooked to perfection. Melts in your mouth, moist, tender. The rice was really good, coming from somebody from China who’s had rice my entire life. The Baklawa Mix was pretty sweet, but it hits the exact spot you’d want it to hit. Pastry audibly crisp, and thin as the wing of a fly. That combined with the sumptuous syrup, nuts, and chewy bits at the bottom was divine. Mango Sorbet was incredible too, although I don’t know how to describe that one.

Middle Eastern and Kurdish Restaurant in West Nicolson Street. Excellent food and service. We had the lunch deal, 2 courses for 7.95 which was brilliant value and just the right amount of food. Good selection for vegetarian good and the meat is halal. Nice Turhish coffee. We will be back!

Have been 3 times recently and the variety ( vegetarian and non vegetarian ), quality, quantity and presentation very good. Prices are realistic. Would thoroughly recommend if you like this type of tasty food. So far the dishes have not been too salty - please keep this up !

This place is great for a value lunch, with a two or three course set menu, but with a wider menu still reasonably priced.
There are ample options for vegans, vegetarians or carnivores and for the latter the meat is well prepared and tender.
For those who knew Nawroz restaurant on Potterow, this is its successor, reviving all that was good there including excellent, friendly service.
