" The food here truly is an explosion of flavors! I loved the chicken kabobs and the Kurdish bread they served alongside. It was soft and perfect for soaking up all the delicious juices. My only gripe would be that the place gets a bit crowded, which can lead to slower service, but otherwise, it’s a fantastic spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you've never tried Kurdish food, Babani's is the place to start! I was advised to try the dowjic soup and it was unlike anything I've had before - tangy and unique.
