Today we’re exploring Iraqi Kurdistan and the incredible city of Erbil! It’s a city with thousands of years of history that all surround the ancient citadel in the center of the city.
Machko Cafe - We’re starting with breakfast at this amazing and historical cafe for the full Kurdish breakfast including lots of tea.
Yassin Kebab - If there’s one place you have to eat kebabs when you’re in Erbil, it must be Yassin Kebab, loved by both locals and visitors, and known for serving some of the best kebabs in Iraq.
After the amazing kebabs we walked around the old center of Erbil, had some Kurdish Coffee (made from the terebinth tree), tried some Iraqi tree gum, and couldn’t miss some freshly squeezed pomegranate juice.
Habeeb Kurdish Restaurant - Located on the famous Iskan Street food street, I was able to try some traditional Kurdish food including some amazing dolma!
Iskan Street - Iskan street in Erbil is famous for its night street food and I tried a few different sandwiches and some of the best chickpeas ever!
Erbil is an amazing city!
