Kebab Hawler

Kebab Hawler on Dalry Road takes its name from Hawler (Erbil), the capital of Iraqi Kurdistan — a signal of the kitchen's heritage in the charcoal-grilled traditions of northern Iraq and the broader Kurdish diaspora. This stretch of Dalry Road has a high concentration of South Asian and Middle Eastern takeaways, and Hawler brings something distinct: seekh and shish kebabs from a charcoal grill, kubba, rice plates and fresh flatbreads that differ in character from the doner-centric competition nearby. Kurdish charcoal grilling produces a leaner, smoke-inflected result that has found an audience among Edinburgh diners looking for something beyond the standard kebab-shop offer. Research returned limited recent reviews for this specific listing; the address may have traded under slightly different names at different periods. Halal throughout.
