Sarchnar Restaurant serves Iraqi and Kurdish food from its longstanding location on Edgware Road. The informal restaurant is known for hearty portions, warm bread and dishes designed around grilled meat, rice, vegetables and the comforting flavours of traditional Middle Eastern cooking.
The grill selection includes lamb tikka, lamb chops, chicken, kofta and mixed kebab platters. Hummus, baba ganoush, jajik, tabbouleh, falafel and kubba provide a varied selection of starters, allowing groups to begin with several contrasting plates before ordering larger dishes.
Iraqi cooked dishes include lamb kuzi with rice, chicken kuzi, biryani, stews and tashrib. These slower preparations complement the charcoal grill and provide substantial alternatives built around tender meat, seasoned rice, broth and vegetables.
Fresh naan, salad and lentil soup complete many meals, while tea and baklava offer a traditional finish. Daily opening, takeaway, delivery and space for groups make Sarchnar a practical choice for both a quick meal and a larger shared dinner on Edgware Road.
