A new restaurant bringing the flavours of the Middle East to Blackpool has opened on Central Drive.
Kurdistan Restaurant officially launched on March 11 and is already drawing attention for its charcoal-grilled dishes and affordable menu.
The venue offers a range of traditional Kurdish favourites, with an emphasis on freshly cooked meats and hearty portions.
Located in the heart of one of the town’s busiest streets the restaurant aims to add something different to the local dining scene.
Its menu focuses heavily on classic grill dishes, including chicken tikka, lamb tikka and Kurdish-style kebabs cooked over charcoal.
Single shish options start from around £5, making them an accessible option for diners looking for a quick bite as well as those planning a larger meal.
For bigger appetites, the restaurant also offers a selection of sharing platters. One of the largest, known as Platter 2, includes a combination of grilled meats, wings, ribs and chops designed to serve several people.
Alongside the grilled dishes, diners can order a variety of traditional sides and starters. Options include biryani, hummus and fasolya, a warming bean soup with several sides priced from around £2.
Inside, the restaurant features a clean, modern interior with warm lighting and contemporary décor, creating a relaxed atmosphere suited to both casual meals and evening dining.
The menu also includes drinks such as traditional chai tea, priced at just 60p.
The opening marks another new independent business investing in the Central Drive area.
