Azad's Kurdish Restaurant

You'll find Azad's tucked away on Vicarage Place, away from the main drag, which means it's stayed refreshingly unpretentious. Walking in, you're greeted with the sort of warmth that makes you feel like a regular within minutes—even on your first visit. The kitchen takes Kurdish cuisine seriously: expect chargrilled meats done right, fragrant rice dishes, and mezze platters that actually justify their reputation. It's the kind of spot where families pile in on weekends and mates book a table for a proper night out. No faffing about with molecular gastronomy or Instagram theatrics—just excellent food at fair prices and staff who genuinely want you to enjoy yourself.
