The outside is very chic with the external design. Definitely jumps out at you with the metal swathe decor.
Plenty of parking in the strip parking lot that gives access to other restaurants and even Hawler Hospital.
Inside feels pretty massive thanks to the open concept. I was greeted and sat where I wanted to be. Very clean and welcoming. Modern feel.
Of course I picked the one main dish they didn’t have in stock anymore, so I opted for lentil soup and the quzi. Mohammed (who some English, Kurdish, and primarily Arabic) started me off with crackers with a cream dip. The soup was not bad. The lamb was actually lacking flavor, which is strange. Plenty of rice mixed with cashews and raisins. There were also white beans and okra in a tomato sauce.
What was more impressive to me is that I asked for dessert, and instead of presenting me a menu, Mohammed just gave me a full platter of fresh fruit and sweets (baklava), and I was already full. The hospitality was awesome.
It wasn’t very busy and everything felt nice. The bill wasn’t too shabby either, although the stability of the Iraqi dinar is a bit turbulent right now. For now, it was in my favor.
One of the top restaurants in Erbil,provides Syrian meals ,it is the best choice if you have VIP guests as the meal and sweets are very delicious with the best and most respectfull saff
High quality interiors, service is what you expect of international standards. Food is relatively pricey, but expected for the overall quality you get.
