After finishing the meal and chatting to the regulars, we were offered tea - served in small glasses and with a slightly spiced flavour - at no extra charge. I'm giving it four stars because the menu is limited, and the soupy veggie accompaniments to the lamb dish were pretty samey. However I'll be going back - it's great value. and fun to dip into the world of Manchester's welcoming, hospitable Kurdish community.
