" Stepping into Gundis was like being transported to a cozy Kurdish home. The service was exceptional—friendly and attentive without being intrusive. I ordered the Kurdish breakfast for two and was amazed at the variety! The soujouk scramble was flavorful, and the assortment of jams paired perfectly with the fresh bread. The ambiance is warm, making it perfect for a brunch date. I can't wait to come back and try their dinner menu next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Gundis for brunch and was blown away! The Kurdish breakfast was large enough for two—you can't go wrong with fried bread and jam varieties. Each selection was delicious, and the staff were super friendly. It felt like a traditional home-cooked meal without the effort of cooking! I also appreciated the ample vegetarian options on the menu, perfect for my family. I would happily recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic flavors in a comfortable setting.

" Took my partner to Gundis for a special occasion, and we were both impressed! The ambiance struck us immediately; it's both cozy and sophisticated. We ordered the sampler platter, which was perfect for sharing, giving us the chance to try multiple dishes. I highly recommend the lamb shank, just cooks beautifully and is so tender. The desserts were a great way to cap the meal—particularly the baklava and rice pudding! An authentic experience that we'll cherish. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Gundis for dinner, and it was a wonderful experience! I was particularly blown away by the octopus salad, tender and flavorful, and my lamb shank, which was seasoned perfectly. The ambiance was cozy and perfect for an evening outing. It was a bit pricey but the quality of the dishes made it worthwhile. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a taste of authentic Kurdish cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Amazing experience, hands down! The lamb shank was the highlight of my dinner; it was tender and flavorful, paired beautifully with a side of rice. The ambiance was warm and inviting. I recommend the baklava crepes for dessert! While the service was a bit slow at times due to crowd, the staff was very polite and courteous. I’m eager to come back again soon to explore more of the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Quite the delightful experience! The ambiance is wonderfully cozy without being cramped. I had the veggie platter as a vegetarian option, and it didn't disappoint. Each dip and side was bursting with freshness. The staff were attentive and friendly, making for a great dining experience. I appreciated the focus on authenticity down to the little details! Looking forward to my next visit to try other dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Gundis is a lovely restaurant that offers a beautiful atmosphere and flavorful dishes. However, I was surprised by the portion sizes which felt slightly inadequate considering the price. The vegetarian dishes were really tasty, and I enjoyed the experience overall. The tea at the end of the meal was a nice touch! I'd consider returning to give it another shot, perhaps during brunch.
