Azmar Restaurant in City of London, Westminster

Very good service, friendly staff, delicious food, recently been refurbished

Know when you get a specific meal wrong, this restaurant might be a choice for you!

This is my favorite Kurdish food I've had in London! We recommend eating a variety of mixes! It's less than 10GBP and the quantity is quite large!!

Great discovery when we arrived in London. He welcomes you with excellent lentil soup, bread, and salad. The lamb dish is really tasty and excellent. The service at the top. The accompaniments are plentiful... and the price is really reasonable.

One of the best Kurdish/Iraqi restaurants in London. A must visit if in the area. Will leave you satisfied. Staff won’t let you go without hot bread. Food is delicious/excellent and brimming with flavour. Must try the Azmar kebab and Tapsi aubergine. Excuse the photos as I couldn’t wait to dig in. Can get a bit loud sometimes but this is expected with a busy family restaurant.

Very rude waiting staff and behaviour throughout. Wife was eating from a plate and waitress pulled it from her because she wanted to clear the table. Another staff member brushing the floor into me as walking past. Staff members set out the table themselves then complained about where one of us was sitting despite them arranging the chairs. If it was 1 staff member would have accepted it, but 3-4 staff members within a short visit is unacceptable. Don’t invite guests in to dine if you don’t want to accommodate them.

Very tasty food, very nice staff, clean, helpful staff. Thank you very much for that

Best restaurant in London I been there last week they did great service and delicious food and the shop is look very clean highly recommended yadgar give me good Service thank you Guys

Azmar Restaurant is very excellent. The owner of the restaurant is generous and has high morals. Their grills are without fault. The best thing they have and the most is ordering sea bass fish 👌🏻 Its price is approximately 18 pounds in Saudi riyals 90 riyals

I often go there with my whole family, very fast staff and very friendly, you get bread spreads salads served on the table for free.. . It tastes very good! And it is very cheap compared to the other restaurant... It's always full there...which is why you almost always have to wait for free seats, but I like to take it easy with 4 small children because I know it's worth it!! .. (after renovation it's very comfortable to sit there, I think it's a very successful design)

Absolutely marvellous food with constant flavour through every bite followed by perfect service

Amazing food, very hygienic and excellent service

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Azmar, and I can confidently say it was one of the best culinary experiences I've had! From the moment I walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere made me feel right at home. Now, let’s talk about the food! The menu is a delightful journey through traditional Kurdish cuisine, and every dish we tried was bursting with flavor. We started with the Kurdish Dolma, which was perfectly seasoned and wrapped in tender grape leaves. It was a fantastic appetizer that set the tone for the meal. For the main course, I opted for the Kebabs, and they were simply divine! Grilled to perfection, the meat was juicy and flavorful, served with a side of fragrant rice and fresh vegetables. My dining companion chose the Biryani, and I couldn’t resist stealing a few bites—it was rich, aromatic, and absolutely delicious! The service was exceptional as well. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable, offering great recommendations and ensuring we had everything we needed throughout our meal. To top it all off, we indulged in the Baklava for dessert, and it was the perfect sweet ending to our meal—crispy, flaky, and just the right amount of sweetness. Overall, Azmar is a must-visit for anyone looking to explore authentic Kurdish cuisine. I can’t wait to return and try more dishes from their extensive menu. Highly recommend!

While the establishment certainly exudes an air of sophistication, the overall experience left much to be desired. The ambiance, though polished, lacked warmth, making it difficult to feel truly comfortable. As for the cuisine, it unfortunately fell short of expectations. The dishes, while presented with flair, were decidedly underwhelming in flavor—more style than substance. Ultimately, while the setting may appeal to those seeking aesthetic allure, the uninspired atmosphere and merely passable fare do not warrant a return visit.

There is no need to write any word to describe the perfect and outstanding food and service and the staff. You should be confident to add this place on the top of your must visit restaurants in London, and I believe it is the best one. Thanks for the great experience we had today .

Excellent. I shall be returning soon. Thanks you.

My absolute favorite restaurant in London, excellent food ,very reasonable prices . Beautiful friendly service, highly recommended . It's my pleasure to leave this positive honest review.

ب شترينوً خو ش ترين مه د قه م آه ز مه ره له له نده ن 👌👌👌

An excellent restaurant with good prices. It offers salad, lentil soup, hummus, and bread. The hospitality is worth a visit. Its dishes are large and the workers are excellent in treatment. I recommend it for its reasonable prices, it should be encouraged

I had bad experience yesterday with my family the food taste old and now we home we r all Sick the food was so bad never gonna go there again the the food for the price was too expensive as well

The food was so delicious, fair price and the staff were quite friendly.

Had a takeaway from this lovely restaurant and it was one of the nicest vegetarian dishes I had in a long time. Friendly service and a great selection of dishes. A regular long queue outside the restaurant is a testament to it’s great offerings.

I really can only recommend this place well deserving 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Food. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Service. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Atmosphere. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Very very delicious 🤤

I have being to this restaurant for many years… never had enough of this delicious food!!! Best food and in Edgware Road recommended

Nice Iraqi restaurant Everything was perfect

Sheep head and foot of sheep is very tasty also Kofta very nice and very soft Very nice salad and starter first it like that I like to go again again 😋😋😋😋❤️

Best place to eat Persian food!!! Good price, great taste! Don’t miss it They only accept cash, I don’t know why!

Best Iraqi cuisine food. Staff was super friendly

This place on Edgware Road is an absolute gem for Iraqi food lovers! The Iraqi kebab and Mosul kubba were out of this world. I couldn't resist trying the lamb qozi too, and it was every bit as delicious as I hoped. They've got a fantastic mix of dishes on the menu – something for everyone. Plus, a big shoutout to the cleanest toilet I've seen in a while! Definitely worth a visit if you're after authentic Middle Eastern flavors.

The food was so good ,the bread was very freshly cooked and delicious,The staffs were very kind and helpful , the place was clean, I would recommend it .😃

The place was nice the food was magnificent the staff were very friendly the bread was delicious and the atmosphere was great.

The best Kurdistan food in Edgware Road, always fresh and clean.

Great food and reasonable prices. Recommended. ( Just note that it's a cash only restaurant)

Delicious food, nice and hospitable people.

This is the best restaurant I can rest and I can feel and I can test The food quality this restaurant deserve 10th at 10 star⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Really lovely food and staff good well understanding of what food to serve you keep good work up … will see you soon 😋

Amazing kurdish food😍 The food was great the service was amazing! Came all the way from Norway to visit this restaurant 🤩🙌🏼

Welcome back Azmar. My absolute favourite place. I am here everyday. Amazing food. A must try, you will never go back once tried 😍 bravo Azmar. Newly refurbished place don’t miss out. Lovely and helpful staff. Come and visit you will thank me 👌

Been there today few days after their reopening. The food was not good at all Lamb kebab was so chewy Special kuzi had a very strong taste of dried lime and ruined the whole meat . Charged us 5 pound extra for a stew which normally should come with a meal you order in any kurdish restaurant The guy on the floor was very friendly and nice but will never be back again for that poor and over priced food. If the renewing costs you alot you don't need to charge the customers extra to remake the money bro .

A restaurant that serves delicious kebabs and the most delicious rice. I recommend it. It also offers appetizers before ordering, and the service is excellent and fast.

Nice restaurant but they only take cash

This restaurant was very hospitable and once we sat at the table, the waiter loaded the table with different condiments and nans!.. all were delicious!.. the kabab platters are slightly small as compared to the ones I’ve had before but they were very filling and we were a family of four and ordered 3 platters. Service was very good and overall we had a great experience.

As always delicious kebab+hot fresh bread And beautiful aromatic rice with sauce, Friendly staff with brilliant service And what delightful restaurant refurbished Beautifully,

Very nice food very very good service I recommend it .

Best iraqi food ever best service will recommend it.

Best food in London, will always recommend to try, staff are very friendly and helpful, food is always fresh and full of flavour. Will be returning

Nan was not fresh from yesterday may be before, poor service. Do not recommend it

Amazing food with great service

I'm honored to be the first customer since their reopening. Undoubtedly, they are the best in Paddington.

Absolutely positive changes. Professional staffs and the food was delicious 😍

I recommend the food good the service correct and clean

Is this restaurant gonna reopen again ? First they say they will be opening on 1 jun then they change it to 1 of July and now I can see it’s says 15 of July what are they really doing it’s a small place no need for all these delays

nice restaurant nice people very friendly 💙🤍

Everything is very good. The best kebab restaurant in UK

Whole family got food poisoning from a takeaway from here in March. We got the mixed grill, soup, and the special. Hard to say which was the cause.

Good food and very reasonably priced. The free bread/soup is also great!

Amazing delicious food. Bang for a buck. The restaurant is quite small and it is crowded most of the time so it feels a bit claustrophobic being there during rush hours. Another problem is that waiting time is a lot. We had to wait about 40 minutes before getting a table.

Great food good price thank you

This shop is closed for renovation. Don’t waste your journey. What an appalling management

Food is good but service is not

Really nice food, really good value for money, unlimited house style bread, really kind servers, would definitely recommend.

May God bless them and may God grant them success in service and dealing 👍🏻

I couldn't have dinner because they only accept cash.

Love this restaurant, the food is amazing. The portions are amazing. It is such an amazing experience of the Iraqi 🇮🇶 culture. I definitely do recommend that you do go and experience the culture and the taste of Iraq.

The most generous restaurant in London.

Been for Iftar today and I am so glad I have not been here before and I will definitely NOT be returning. This place is grossly overrated. Very very disappointing. The food was well below my expectations. No taste. Only lentil soup was nice. Bread was burnt. Meat too oily. Kebab crumbles as you try to lift it. Staff are rude and basically want you to leave quickly because of a queue of people waiting outside. Not quite sure why people are queuing up for this place- probably because it is cheap price and indeed the poor quality food reflects this price. The toilets (female) are very very DIRTY! The tap is so loose it almost drops off when you open it. I mean the basic thing would be to have a clean toilet! Poor toilet hygiene reflects badly on restaurants. They don’t care about their customers experience they just want a high turnover of customers. And they only take cash!! I wonder why?! Ask yourselves. I will tell all my friends NOT to visit this DIRTY RESTAURANT :)

Delicious and fresh food ,great service and very polite and professional staff .highly recommended.

If you're around Edgware Road and craving some legit Kurdish eats, you've gotta check out this spot. It's cozy, welcoming, and the folks here treat you like family. But let me get straight to the point: you absolutely can't miss out on their Kaleh Pacheh (Pacha) which is available only on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. It's insanely good and totally worth planning your week around. Everything on the menu is top-notch, but this dish? Next level. Heads up, though – this place is old school and only takes cash. But honestly, it's a small thing to remember for the amazing food and vibes you get here. So grab some cash, bring your appetite, and get ready for a culinary adventure that's as authentic as it gets. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you.

They uses plastic big containers to transfer food, like rice and lentil soup; the container swollen from the heat

Everything is great the food is delicious thank you Why there is no visa??

If we like Kurdish Sulaimaniyah Kebab we always going there lovely and very soft delicious definitely recommend

Excellent food good portions abit busy but overall worth the wait!

When you visit this place, you feel like you’re unwelcome person her , and you feel like they just wants money from you and get out. Before you sit down, they puts out bread for you, salad ( actually low class salad) , and hummus. How does this happen before the customer sits down? Also While you are eating, they pull the plates in front of you, giving you a signal that you must leave !!! This attitude applies to restaurants that do not respect the customer and do not respect their own self. They should understand and know that the one who is eating is a human being and not an animal. Dirty washroom dirty place.

The Best Kurdish Iraqi restaurant I've been to. The food was exquisite and the people are very warm and welcoming plus the place feels comfortable and cozy. Highly recommended to all my family and friends! 🌟

Once in a blue moon 🌙. Never again

The services are excellent, the food is delicious, and everything is tidy and clean

كل شيء جميل في هذا المطعم الرائع ويقدمون السلطة والشوربة والحمص مجاناً وافضل ماعجبني سيباس السمك مع الارز الابيض وشيش الطاووي ( ملاحظة الدفع نقداً فقط )

Very poor and subpar service. The restaurant is so small despite all the money they are making which just comes to show how stingy they are. The waiter was standing by the table the entire time, waiting for us to finish, and then essentially kicked us out of the restaurant just because they had other customers waiting in line. Get another restaurant or pattern up. I’d recommend anyone to go to Damascus Bride, opposite this restaurant or the other Iraqi restaurant right in front of Azmar, instead of getting a third class treatment here.

We always go for eating since Azmeer was there Food amazing love every thing and fresh.

الخدمه روعه وسريعه قبل الطلب وبعد الاكل والكباب لذيذ ذكرنا بكباب الكويت الروعه والاسعار معتدله يعني تقوم وانت شبعان

Super fast service & tasty, authentic food.

Super fast service, fresh food, authentic taste. We ordered a platter to try out different meats & thoroughly enjoyed it. The chicken wings were the best. Don’t miss them.

This place is incredible. Warm hospitality, bread, lentil soup and hummus, then two plates of delicious lamb neck, a mountain of rice and two sauces. Two people ate till we were stuffed, and they only charged £30!!! Unbelievable value

Azmar Restaurant - Thank you for the amazing food and service. Big shout out to The whole team and the chef, keep up the good work. The best place to eat on Edgware road. Worth the wait. I will visit again as the mixed grill is my new favourite. We ordered the mixed grill and the yogurt drink.

This restaurant is known for its food quality and the level of hospitality presented to its costumers. But the best thing about this restaurant, is its staff. They make sure you do have the best experience. Specially, Fayas Fazial, such attentive waiter, with heart warming attitude to the costumers. I came twice, only for the way he treated us and made sure we had the best of the best time. Definitely recommend! People like Fayas Fazial make this restaurant feel like home!!

الخدمه سيئه والطعام سيئ جدا"لا انصح بأرتياده

Brilliant value for money restaurant with the most sumptuous Iraqi cuisine

My favourite restaurant in London UK. Great Authentic test of famous Iraqi dishes like lamb quizi, biryani rice, grilled almon, okra soup, eggplant soup, shelf salad and starter lentil soup. Great lemon mint squeeze juice, thanks for your service

It’s very bad service, we turn up with family ok 10 persons they demand to order the food on there on choice( value of money) . It’s totally out of unreasonable way to treat the customers .

Probably the best food i tried in London so far. The food quality is great, the taste and the service. I think this restaurant deserves more recognition.

Really great Kurdish food and well worth the que it often has in evenings.

One of our favourite places to eat. The free starters are amazing and consist of lentil soup, fresh bread, humus and salad. The service is fast and the food is always fresh. We have never had a bad experience in the last 12 or so years of eating at Azmar, but Afnan was exceptional. He was very courteous, attentive, smiley and polite. Can’t wait to go back!

سامان عاملني معامله عنصريه فقط لاني سعودي ولاني من ذوي الاحتياجات الخاصة وماتقبل وضعي والعوائل اللي حضرت الموقف كتبت تعليقاتها باللي شافته من تعامل سيء. هذي مراجعه حقيقه وليست وهميه .

Been going here for years. Not one thing I could fault about this place. They need more branches. 10/10 for food service and price. Please don't change

Good selection of food, it was nice, tasty, reasonable portions and price. Service was friendly and fast. I recommend it!

Food is always top notch. Service amazing. Atmosphere like any restaurant. Quick food dispatch
