Middle Eastern in London

Iraqi and Kurdish restaurants account for half of this short list. On Edgware Road, Kurdistan Restaurant at No. 394 and Sarchnar at No. 397 both serve from noon to 11 PM daily; reviews of the first often mention naan and baklava, those of the second its starters and tea. Just off the same road on Kendal Street, AlMaskoof AlIraqi has outdoor tables and stays open until 11:30 PM. Bakhan Restaurant in West Croydon is Kurdish too, though shawarma is what its reviews mention most. More shawarma comes from Shawarma Time, a Lebanese restaurant in Plumstead that opens at 7 AM, and Street Kebab on South Street in Romford.
