Lovely atmosphere, very nice tasty food!
I recently went to try this place and had an amazing Persian experience here. The food was excellent, especially the hummus and the main course was also completely delicious. The food was perfectly cooked and had a wonderful flavour to it. The quantity was pretty amazing as well. I completely enjoyed my meal and would love to come back here again.
One of the best Persian restaurants I've eaten at. The food is perfectly cooked, flavourful, and freshly prepared. The hummus is worth dying for and it made the whole experience quite memorable. Will be going back here soon fro the delectable food and timely service.
They presented us with a nice selection of food, clean, fresh and delectable. Similar to the culture of Middle East, this place has diverse variety to select from. Typically, Middle Eastern food is flavorful and aromatic and this place offers very authentic food. It is an appealing and nice looking restaurant with a flavorsome cuisine.
If you love doing Shisha then this place is surely for you. The atmosphere is pretty nice and relaxed. The music on the background was also very good. The flavors of the sheesha that these guys are providing are also nice.
I will be going here again because I love doing Sheesha.
Living up to it's middle eastern appeal, this restaurant is an unusual combination of an Italian name, serving Iraqi cuisine amidst Egyptian style interiors with Khaleeji music as the background.
The food and service is pretty nice and value for money.
My order included a jargeer salad and Iraqi chicken kabsa, both of which were decent.
People who like middle eastern food will like the place.
I ventured here on one of my visits and the food in my opinion is quite good. It is cooked to perfection and has delicious flavors to it. The service was amazing too. The staff was very attentive and helpful. I had a great time and experience here. And I will definitely try and visit again.
Although the ambiance and atmosphere of the place was not very encapsulating, they had quite an exciting menu! The hummus we ordered came with naan pieces that were delicious. The kebabs and meat dishes were excellent here! In my opinion, the dry dishes were tastier and one should opt for those instead.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Citadel of Erbil in London and I must say, the Iraqi and Middle East cuisine truly exceeded my expectations! The star of the show was undeniably the Hoummos Awarma, which was bursting with flavor and had the perfect texture - smooth, creamy, and just the right amount of chunky. It was undoubtedly one of the best I have ever tried.
The mix grill was equally impressive, featuring a juicy and well-seasoned selection of meats that were grilled to perfection. Accompanied by a generous serving of fragrant rice and fresh vegetables, it was a delightful and satisfying meal that left me feeling fully satisfied.
But the real standout for me was the Iraqi Dolma. These stuffed grape leaves were absolutely delicious, filled with a tantalizing mixture of rice, vegetables, and savory spices. It was a true delight to savor the unique flavors and texture of this traditional Middle Eastern dish.
Overall, I cannot speak highly enough of the Citadel of Erbil's Iraqi and Middle Eastern food. The quality of the ingredients and the impeccable preparation truly impressed me, and I cannot wait to come back and try more of their dishes. Whether you're a seasoned foodie or simply looking for a delicious meal, the Citadel of Erbil is a must-visit spot for anyone interested in the rich and vibrant flavors of Iraqi and Middle Eastern cuisine. Highly recommended!

If you are looking for a delicious quality and clean food and excellent service from staff then look no further than Citadel of Erbil. The restaurant was previously called Valentino London, the name did change but the staff working there are the same. Tasty middle eastern and Kurdish served cuisine with a great 50% off. The prices are good, especially where the location of the restaurant. You are located at the heart of central London.
We ordered Mix kebab with rice. They served us with delicious hot lentil soup, salad and naan bread. The kebab with naan was worth it the taste was great. The food here has and always be fantastic especially now with 50%, you cannot go wrong. The great thing about this restaurant is that it has a menu which is the dessert menu where you can order Kanafeh and other middle eastern sweets. If shisha is your thing, you can order your food to be served outside, they have a patio hanging heater, so can have your meal, dessert and shisha in one spot!.
Nice and cosy restaurant, extensive Arabic menu. Also good for a "3 Sheen's"; Sha'werma, Shaai, & Shee'sha. Friendly staff, good service and reasonably priced.
Going back soon...
The friendliest most generous hosts. They brought us a delicious soup, hummus, pitta and salad all complimentary. The meat was very tasty and the portions were large. I especially loved the tea and baklava at the end :) thank you! سوپاس !
