Go to Abu Shahab, don't worry, the owner is Kurdish but for some reason chose an Arabic name. So no need to worry if they put any poison. Did you guys know there is a restaurant called Saddam in Hewler :D. It's owned by a Kurd named Saddam, and his brother is named Hussein. Anyway, they sell much, when people buy kebab there, they buy for parties in kgs or in meters :)

Tevger: yes its from a kurdish cousin, if you go to SK try the local small restaurants in the city centers, they have the yummiest food ever :)
Yes, indeed.

We have also different Kebab than Turks/Arabs.
I have eaten kebab at mat least 5 Turkish & Arabs Cafes/Restaurants in Europe & US, and they all have very dirty Kebab.
It is kinda hard and it is just grilled meat or something.

Kurdish kebab is much nicer. It's soft, it's made out of chopped meat/meatloaf and on a bbq.

Lula Kebab :p.

Is Abu Shahab the one in Hewler?
I have eaten there 2 times (when we came back and when we returned, my uncle took as there).
The food was really nice, but the desert was nicer.

It is a little bit expensive though (compared to other restaurants).
I believe the desert only was like 50,000 dinars (40 to 50 dollars). But that was for 3 people, but that's still a lot of if you compare how much Kebab cost at the little restaurants in Slemani, Hewler, etc. haha

I know, very expensive. I myself have only been there 4 times. And Paqlawa (desert) is extremely expensive, I think it was 5 small pieces for 50.000 dinar (about 45 USD). It is supposed to be a luxury restaurant, and it is. Arabs don't go there, it's too expensive, only the very rich Arabs eat there.

Yes, the paqlawa is expensive, but I had ice cream. Their ice cream is really good :P.

Arabs are so stupid, I saw a few of them, they were eating there. Anyway, let the rich ones eat there, their money will go to Kurds, so it's not THAT bad.
As long as they have respect for us and don't yell or park their camelss near the restaurant.

Isn't there a very popular kebab restaurant in the qaisary of Hewler? I remember we tried going there some times but we were always too late for they ran out of kebab very quickly.

Delicious but I don't think we should include Koupa even if it's delicious, if I'm not wrong it's turkish and bulgur doesn't really belong to our cuisine.

Kuaba is great bra, its traditionaly from the Lavent so its not Turkish, it most likely has Kurdisih roots. And bulgur is more authentic to the region than rice.

Kuaba is probably more familiar among Western Kurds than Eastern Kurds, but that is what makes Kurdish cuisine so special, its diverse.

Perhaps you're right, it was Kirkuki who told me that who was very big fan of it. Well in EK barely have any bulgur.

I miss Kurdish food, I barely eat it nowadays and every time I do I am reminded of how superior our culture is over the decadence of the West with its chemical, cancer-inducing processed poor excuses for food.

Bulgur is wheat that is cooked, then cracked and then dried to be stored for later use. It turns out to be one of the worlds oldest processed foods, authentic to the middle east and Mediterranean area. They found out that even the Babylonians used to eat it. However on wikipedia it says that it is a Turkish food, what a joke, it is not from central Asia that's for sure, but the word "bulgur'' might Turkish, but not the actual food.

Yes... I wonder why cancer rate is so much higher in the West? Maybe because of the food.

No, it's nothing to do with food. It's related to the industrial revolution and the handling of different medals that emit radiation.

It's called Churchkhela (a sweet from the Caucasus/Georgia). It's not Kurdish.

Sister, I just looked at Kurdish wikipedia and It's called 'Meşlûr': http://ku.wikipedia.org/wiki/Me%C5%9Fl%C3%BBr

I never heard of such a name. But then again I was born in Georgia and not in Kurdistan, so for me it's a Georgian sweet. :D
