A host of Middle Eastern delights can be found on Spring Bank in Hull. Kurdistan Restaurant is tucked away, just north east of the city centre and has been drawing many diners with their traditional Kurdish grill classics. From charcoal-grilled lamb to fragrant saffron rice biryani, diners seeking honest and hearty traditional fare need look no further.
Kurdistan Restaurant is pleasantly assuming and simple in its décor, featuring a relaxed café style, cosy bistro seating and traditional rugs, artwork and tapestries. It’s not uncommon to see all walks of life in the charming eatery, from families with children to groups of friends catching-up after work. Staff are also very welcoming and will be happy to offer recommendations to diners that are new to Kurdish cuisine.
Kurdish food shares much in common with Turkish and other Middle Eastern cuisines. Diners can expect staples such as smoky baba ganoush, flatbreads, spiced lamb kofte, grilled chicken, fragrant bulgur pilaf and rich vegetarian curries. Whatever their tastes, diners may want to bring their appetites and plenty of friends, as Kurdish cuisine is meant to be shared in generous portions.
For the authentic flavours of Kurdish cuisine, a meal at Riverside is bound to satisfy. Gourmet Society members will find this experience even more enjoyable when they get exclusive savings off their bills for calling to book ahead and presenting their cards upon arrival. It’s the perfect excuse for extra dolma to share or one of their mixed kebab platters.
Please note: the offer excludes special occasions.
