The Gundis Kurdish Kitchen

"It's a simple, sleek spot with weathered wood floors, exposed brick, and pendant lights. Leather banquettes along the periphery and tables in the center are some of the other features of this Central Asian culinary operation.The menu is chock-full of Kurdish classics, with similarities from the cuisines of Turkey, Middle East, and even India. Start off with addictive spreads like tirşik and sac tawa, before digging into hearty meats, available at lunch and dinner. Breakfast is no laughing matter though, with black sesame-studded bread, house preserves, kasheri cheese, and cucumbers dressed in olive oil. Eggs scrambled with roasted peppers, onion, and tomatoes are matched with golden cups of coffee as well as bottomless Kurdish tea for a warming treat." - Michelin Inspector
