Erbil in Berlin

One of the best Kurdish restaurants I ever dined out. My favourite item from their menu was lamb skewer, which was so delicious. We also order chicken skewer, hummus, and zatar bread. They have an oven and freshly bake their bread few seconds before serving. Erbil restaurant is a great place to grab lunch or dinner!

The best way I could describe this restaurant is unpretentious, which is not a word usually associated with restaurants but it’s the first thing that came to mind. Very cozy and warm, inviting perhaps simple? But don’t let that fool you - they serve incredibly good food with generous portions, amazing service. They had vegetarian options too. Can be unassuming for the outside but certainly worth a visit!

Great service and delicious food!

Nice and cozy place with not bad food but so nice atmosphere

I visited the Erbil Restaurant today and was very satisfied. I ordered grilled dishes, biryani rice with bean stew, and eggplant stew – everything was delicious, as if homemade. The flavors were authentic and reminded me very much of Iraq. After the meal, I enjoyed a delicious traditional Iraqi black tea. The cleanliness and service were excellent, and the prices were reasonable. I will definitely come back with friends next time. I highly recommend it.

Amazing food and an amazing service!! Highly recommended!

Super delicious Erbil Kebab is highly recommended

At first, I thought it was very expensive for this flavor; it wasn't tasty at all. The value for money isn't good.

The food was incredibly delicious. Vegetable soup was free, and we felt right at home.

The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly. I'll be back ❤️❤️

Highly recommended and super delicious 👍 The soup tastes amazing

Hands down the best Kurdish restaurant in Berlin. I’ve went to almost every Kurdish restaurant and this one is the best, even in Kurdistan you’ll have a hard time finding places of this caliber.

Typical restaurant. A wonderful culinary discovery. Friendly waiter. Excellent food. We recommend it.

Amazing food and very good waiters

5/5 stars, and well deserved! Tandoor bread is baked fresh in front of the customer using traditional methods, and the homemade hummus is truly delicious and flavorful! The staff is very polite and smiling. The ambiance is very clean and inviting. Conclusion: Excellent restaurant! 5/5 stars

The two of us had a delicious meal. Definitely recommend it.

An authentic discovery in the heart of Berlin: Erbil is a restaurant serving Kurdish specialties that will win you over from the very first moment. The welcome is warm and genuine: the staff is extremely kind, attentive and ready to recommend traditional dishes with a smile. The environment is well-kept and very clean, with a simple but welcoming atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease. Every detail conveys passion and respect for the guest. The cuisine is the real strong point: fresh, quality ingredients, expertly crafted to enhance the typical flavors of Kurdistan. From meat-based dishes to vegetarian options, everything is prepared with great care. The portions are generous and the taste authentic. The quality-price ratio is excellent, especially considering the quality of the ingredients and the generosity of the service. A restaurant that is definitely worth a visit — and that will make you want to return.

"A wonderful restaurant with excellent food and friendly service. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting. Highly recommended - I would love to come back!"

We decided to go to the restaurant at random because we passed by it. The food was excellent. Excellent to the point I felt like going out of my way and writing a review.

I was your guest recently and I just want to say: it was great! The food, the service and the atmosphere absolutely convinced me✌️💚

Amazing place. Their dürüm is so tasty. Service is a bit slow especially when it's half crowded. If it is full, maybe choose another place for that day.

Pleasant atmosphere with very friendly, unobtrusive service. The food tastes good and is appetizingly prepared. Interesting customers too. We were very satisfied

The food was delicious, the atmosphere was calm even though it was a bit late for dinner. I don't know what it would have been like before. My recommendation: 100% rich and delicious. Hummus with lamp 🤤

The Food is very delicious👍 The WC is clean👍 The Tea is perfect 👍 Food, tea and cleanliness are excellent👍 This Essen and Die Sauberkeit sind Super 👍

Good price, incredible taste and generous portions.

I tried all the dip menus and every single one was delicious. It suited Korean tastes well, and the overall taste was delicate and smooth (a really rare thing in Berlin). Above all, I feel comfortable after eating. Recommended for the honor of Koreans

Yes. Very, very good food. The chicken as an addition to rice with white beans, for example, is a poem. Rarely!!!! Such tender chicken was eaten.

The lamb plate with rice is absolutely delicious! Very cumin forward and flavorful. I absolutely loved it.

Very tasty food and a very nice shop. We got free ayran and water and the service was very nice. Definitely come here

I've never had such delicious ayran before and the chicken breast was very tender and perfectly seasoned

Very friendly service… very high praise ❤️

I had dinner there today with my friends, the food was extremely tasty, the staff is very friendly and nice and the atmosphere of the establishment was extremely nice. There were also options for vegetarians. We ordered large plates of various specialties to share and were asked who would like to eat vegetarian/vegan. My personal highlight was that there was garlic oil on the table that you could put on the food yourself. :D I found the bread very tasty and the meat nice and tender, vegetables and meat were very tasty and you could also order delicious dips with it. If you want to eat traditional Kurdish food, I would definitely recommend the restaurant.

Great food, great service. Came across it by chance and everyone liked it! :)

We were there yesterday at lunchtime, but I still wanted to have breakfast, which wasn't a problem at all, even though we were late, something was prepared for me. Unfortunately, my husband and the waiter talked past each other. I wanted to fry eggs with tomatoes and onions, but I only got eggs and onions and fresh tomatoes on the side, which wasn't a bad thing, but it still tasted good. The starters, soup and the homemade bread were also very tasty. My husband ordered a sandwich, which he also liked, all in all, a very good shop would eat there again when we are in Berlin.

Amazing Iraqi food and very friendly service. A gem

What an excellent place! Great, authentic food, wide selection and quick service.

It’s such a bad restaurant I have eaten kurdish food before but this is nothing like kurdish food it’s just scam

I ate there with my family yesterday and I can only recommend it. We ate small starters first and the tandoor bread with sesame was just sooo good! We ordered two large mixed platters, which included biryani and white rice, and various types of meat on top. Additionally bread, salad, torshi and a small plate with the dips. I was particularly surprised by the lamb shoulder because it was so juicy and tender. The homemade Ayran was the perfect drink for such a meal. Finally, we drank chai with some delicious cinnamon and nut cookies. All in one: a must-try restaurant!

The food was really good, good quantity and the staff was really smiley and friendly ☺️💕💕really good service but I wish water was for free

A restaurant with a great view and very friendly, attentive staff. Most of the dishes were excellent and tastefully prepared. The lamb shoulder in particular was tender and tasty. Overall, a lovely experience that we would like to repeat.

Delicious food and friendly staff, Highly recommended ⭐️✨

Kurdish restaurant, but the staff don't speak Kurdish and the food isn't tasty. It's a 45-minute drive from the Iraqi consulate to the restaurant in Arbil. It was worth it. I don't recommend it.

Really nice service, super fresh flatbreads and tasty food. Good vibe and I love that you can see into their (very clean and organized) kitchen.

Absolutely delicious food, and very generous portions!!! I cannot talk highly enough about their bread or about their sauce called “pinky” (made of dates, spice and sour cream). It was amazing. The veggie dishes were also great. The staff were kind and thoughtful. Was truly a great dinner!

extremely friendly service and clean bathrooms, highly recommend👌👌👌👌👌

So Nice that I went twice, Love their Zaatar bread, they also serve complementary soup which is nice. Lamb portions are decent too.

Very good food. New and interesting flavors for me. A couple of small details that make me not give 5.

The best and only lamb laffa in Berlin

A great find, delicious, fresh and authentic food served in unpretentious surroundings. Everything we ordered was delicious.

Yo estaba en viaje de negocios en Berlín cenamos en el restaurante de al lado, que era bueno y vi este restaurante decidió el siguiente venir a experimentar este lugar WOW qué comida excepcional que tuve su inicio con pan recién horneado seguido de famosa parrilla con su hijo de biryani. El kabeb estaba fuera de este mundo extremadamente sabroso. El personal es un buen ambiente era increíble y un montón de diferentes nacionalidades estaba disfrutando de su comida aquí, incluyendo alemán local. Recomiendo encarecidamente el lugar para visitar.

Super tasty and inexpensive food, amazing!

Food is more or less like other arabic cuisine with a lot of options. I like their chili and garlic oil 😌

Has nothing to do with traditional Kurdish food.

Friendly, going above and beyond. Exceptionally well made bread. The makali (vegan) was my introduction to the Kurdish kitchen and I loved every bite. Soup was also very good! Hands down the best you can eat in this street!

Very good restaurant! Good and fast service! The food was served to us in what felt like seconds.

Amazing food, incredibly friendly staff, love going here! Been here many times now and never disappoints

Extremely good Kurdish cuisine. I can recommend it 10000000%

The grilled dishes were perfectly prepared and the side dishes were very fresh. I especially liked the bulgur. The service was quick and the staff was friendly. It was a nice meal in a pleasant atmosphere

Feels like eating with mom 👍🏻 great

incredibly delicious food, plus extremely friendly and fast service! best zaatar in Berlin 💪 zor spas!

Delicious food! Helpful and friendly service. The menu is friendly for all eating preferences.

Fresh food, excellent flavour combos. Staff were friendly, helpful and attentive. Would come again and recommend to friends.

Nous avons passé une très agréable soirée dans ce restaurant. L'accueil est sympathique, les plats savoureux et parfumés. Pour les amateurs d'épices n'hésitez pas à goûter au piment qui est dans le pot sur la table ! Une adresse sympa à connaître

First time in Berlin we were looking for a good place to grab a bite and decided to dine at Erbil restaurant .. absolutely amazing place food is delicious and the staff are very friendly and welcoming .. highly recommended

Best food I've had in a while. Just honest good food for a reasonable price, what is more to desire? You even get a complementary soup beforehand. Never had that anywhere before. Amazing.

I like the design and wall photos also the staff is really friendly

Excellent food at a lovely place. I'm vegan and there was a variety of options for me! Large portions as well 👌🏼

Super tasty. Super friendly. We'd love to come back again

Food is tasty and fresh. A must-try is the cheese-cake-on-brownie. I’ve never had this anywhere before. Totally awesome. They made it themselves. Service is ultra friendly. Thank you so much for your hospitality.

Really good food with tasty bread! The service was really nice and friendly, definitely will be back!

Excellent restaurant, fantastic and tasty food, with very kind, friendly and attentive staff. I really liked the detail of the kitchen open to the public.

The food is super tasty and there is a large selection, whether with meat, vegetarian or vegan. Lots of space and cozy at the same time! I ate for €15 including a drink and am very full. Attentive and friendly service. Everything was perfect, I would love to come back :)

Casual and cozy place with great food. The service was kind and helpful and the prices very reasonable!

Gran restaurante y comida hermosa. El personal era muy amable y servicial. Somos de Australia y hablamos muy poco alemán, pero el personal era muy amable.

I was here yesterday and it was absolutely delicious😍 10/10 would love to come back!

A place to try. Friendly and high quality food.

great choice if you want smth different from generic Berlin food. maybe not that cheap, but it's definitely worse to try. you get a small soup as a welcome starter.. salads, lamb, rise... at lunch somehow crowded, but in the evening, it's a good time to go there :))

The food at Erbil is outstanding, especially the bread. Hospitality is quite friendly and brings soup before the meal. And prices are reasonable for 2024.

Favourite meal from my entire Europe trip! Fast service, beautiful fresh ingredients and endless flavour explosions in every bite! We had the zaatar and sesame breads, mixed dips, lamb and rice. Can not recommend this restaurant highly enough!

super tasty. Good service, friendly people, badass cooks who work hard and still are there for you. I love the food! My dog can come in with me, my colleagues can fit in as well - it is my favourite place for a lunch when I am at the office.

Very friendly service. Super tasty food!

Very good experience, slightly noisy room. Very good dishes, comforting and tasty. Very good quality/quantity price ratio. Very fast service. I would happily go back!

Everything was super good and the portions were generous! I particularly recommend the lamb plate and the zaatar bread!

Eat deliciously, we’ll be back 🙂

I highly recommend this Resturaunt! I get their fatoosh style salad with the juiciest most tender side of chicken, and it’s so delicious and healthy with fresh ingredients every time. The flavors are perfect. The hand made bread is dare I say the best I’ve ever had? Its lights crunchy in the outside and soft and airy in the inside. I get the sesame bread. All n all they’re consistently delicious and quality food.

Lots of options from vegan, gluten-free, meat or vegetarian. It tastes very good, please keep this quality

Excellent Kurdish food, the shawarma was delicious, the veggies quite fresh and the babaganoush is to die for. The staff is a very generous with their portions and you get all-you-can-drink free tea with your food!

Food tastes fresh and authentic Kurdish style. Staff super welcoming. Nice cozy atmosphere inside with plenty space to sit. Loved the freshly baked bread.

The food and service is very good, I recommend the lamb with rice. The salad is very fresh. I would definitely eat here again!

Very fresh healthy and tasty food

A great Kurdish restaurant with delicious food and friendly service! The atmosphere is warm and inviting and highly recommended for anyone who wants to enjoy authentic cuisine.

Very good food and abundant quantities. Very attentive service. Good experience

I tried the lamb dish, but it taste not so good

Nice staff Clean Prices reasonable Fast service Soup was free for us

Service and food are exceptional.

Fresh. Friendly. My lamb sandwich was an absolute banger. Nothing more to say.

Food was average; the main dishes were okay and the tandoor bread is decent. The wrap was overpriced and pretty empty. The soup was nice but perhaps a bit too salty for my taste. I like that they have garlic oil on the table. Customer service was good, and the seating was fairly comfortable and spacious.

Wonderful experience. Delicious food. Nice hosts. Vegan or meat dishes. Loving restaurant.

Very tasty food, just fire, and a pleasant atmosphere, everything is very cool, I recommend it 👌🏼👍🏽😍

Wow! This was such a great and tasty experience. from the starters till the desert - everything was perfect and specially mad with love. The stuff was so kind and it’s a family business. They bring you a lentils soup for starter, which was really tasty. I will for sure come here often and show more friends this place. If u guys are looking for an authentic kurdish place with great food and really nice stuff - that’s the place! Thank you again for the dessert & chai on the house!! Will come back soon :)
