We Celebrated🥂🍾 my friend Bachelorette party!! The staff was very friendly & welcoming and the food was delicious. We were entertained by their belly dancers which was nice. We will definitely be back and try their other dishes. If you want to celebrate any occasion, i would definitely recommend Mesopotamia Kurdish Restaurant.

Traipsing around the CBD after 10pm looking for a venue with an open kitchen (which is almost impossible) my friends and I found our way to Baran's. As we were a group of seven they kindly kept their kitchen open for us when we arrived at about 10.50pm! We only discovered this much later while we were settling our bill. Apparently they usually close their kitchen around 11pm unless they're busy - in which case they'll remain open to serve customers. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The menu offered a variety of Kurdish fare to suit most diners. The prices were reasonable too. I'd recommend their pizzas and kebabs. Yummy!

Ended up just having cocktails because the ladies toilet was disgusting. Pity, because service was good and sitting on the balcony was really pleasant.

C. C.

Excellent friendly staff. Lovely food. Toilet is on top floor, lots of steps...

M. M.

Excellent location beside the market and parge patio. 4 stars only because we had drinks and no food.

An unforgettable experience to be had. Why eat boring old food when you can explore and enjoy a new type of food. Kurdish food is unique and delicious. Loads of choices on the menu at reasonable prices. Waitrons are really friendly and helpful. Sitting on cushions on the floor in its own right is an experience! Throw in belly dancers and hookah pipes with the good food, it truely is a receipe for a fun and unforgettable time. Belly dancers only perform on Friday and Saturday night between 9pm and 10pm, and a R15 charge per head will be added to your bill. Make sure to make a reservation as it can get full.

Great vibe, delicious food, excellent service. Best hookah pipes in Cape Town.

The waiters/waitress were super nice and spread a good mood so we had a lovely time. The food was delicious and the waiter even made sure we're getting in the car safely. Very good experience

Mesopotamia Kurdish Restaurant is a culinary gem. The menu showcases the rich flavors of Kurdish cuisine with dishes like kebabs and pide. The warm and welcoming atmosphere, adorned with traditional decor, adds to the authenticity. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable, ensuring a memorable dining experience. Prices are reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. However, it’s advisable to make a reservation, as it can get busy. Despite this, Mesopotamia stands out as a must-visit for those seeking a unique and delicious taste of Kurdish culture in a cozy setting

WOW Baran's!!! Absolutely amazing, decided to pop in with two other friends and just check the vibe of the entire place, and I was amazed at how great the customer service was from the staff, waiters than weren't even waiting our table came to check and make sure we're good. Was really an amazing experience, especially for someone like myself who loves great customer service as anyone can appreciate, I will definitely recommend Baran's to anyone from all over as it was beyond AMAZING, endless possibilities. #10outa10

Perfect for any setting, from work dinners to romantic evenings. The food was amazing and the service was tops. Will definitely be going back soon to try out the main meals. We got stuck on the starters. :)

C. M.

Had some drinks and frys that was nice and crunchy with a Oka pipe which was great. Will be back to try more of the menu as it has a awesome vibe and they have been around for quite some time.

An authentic Kurdish experience in Cape Town. The ambience and music was realistic. The belly dancer added great value to the experience. We enjoyed the middle-eastern cuisine. The rest room could do with some refurbishment, though.

Food was amazing and very friendly staff. My new best place to go to in Cape town for Lunch and Dinner...!!😋

M. S.

Corner Café with outside tables from where you can watch the comings and goings in and around the historic Greenmarket Square. Great coffee and a good menu. It and the neighbouring cafe are both owned by a Turkish Kurd and the managers are also Kurdish. Fits right into Cape Town's cosmopolitan nature. Great spot.

My wife & I go to Mesopotamia fairly regularly as it was the location of our first date. The food is amazing - there's a great variety of chicken, lamb and vegetarian dishes that range from entirely mild to very spicy - and it is offered in small starter portions as well as proper-sized main meals (all cooked in a traditional tandoor oven). The atmosphere is unique and makes for a great dining experience - they have belly dancers to entertain you during the evening, which makes for something very different to your usual restaurant. They also have cigars and hookah pipes that you can buy and use respectively, but we've never taken them up on that. It is a little pricey unfortunately - the most recent trip to the restaurent for the two of is cost R410 altogether (including service charge). The price is what stops us going there more often, but as a location for a special evening out, it's just perfect.

J. A.

It was nice i used to dance there. I liked it but new manager now so i won't go back. Previous manager had great food.

M. H.

Good shisha. The staff is excellent and courteous. There is seating available inside and outside of the restaurants. The food is decently priced and is very tasteful.

S. S.

This place never disappoints... Staff is always friendly and shisha is worth it in terms of their pricing and quality.

J. R.

Enjoyed the food and the atmosphere, nice with a big group of people. We went for the belly dance show but the dancer never showed up on the night

J. v. B.

Very good food and enthousiastic people! If you like to eat good traditional food go to this place!

N. M.

The sheesha (hooka) is okay and not that great. I've had better. But what's nice is the place and comfort. It's not crowded and relaxing.

A. A.

The place was cool but a bit too empty. The shisha was ok, but there was only one server and the service was kind of slow. Overall an ok experience.

A Kurdish restaurant with a nice atmosphere The food is delicious Cheddar cheesecake is delicious The meat pie is delicious, but the meat is in large pieces, and if it were minced, it would be better. Lentil soup is strange but delicious The drawback was that some of the dishes were dirty And potatoes And 3 cola and a can of water Approximately the account was 445 rand Approximately 97 Saudi Riyals in Saudi Riyals

A beautiful cafe. I enjoyed sitting in it I ordered a cappuccino and dessert. I ordered a file with ice cream (very delicious) I will return to him, God willing

C. c.

Nice restaurant in the Greenmarket district. I ate a dish called "kebab", but it doesn't look like a kebab in France. It’s beef, well cooked, with rice and fries. Very good, and friendly service

س. ف.

It is worth a visit for the honesty, respectful treatment and very wonderful food. I recommend it
