Nergiz, which opened today (Friday, September 27), is a family run business fronted by Gulistan Goktas and her nephew Karzan Baqi, who is the chef.

Mrs Goktas, 31, previously worked in the restaurant industry in Turkey and Mr Baqi, 27, began training as a chef in Greece at the age of 15.

Mrs Goktas said: "We want everyone to know how tasty Kurdish food is.

"We are a family and work together to make some of the best food in Norwich."

She particularly recommends new customers try the chicken shawarma, adding: "I could eat it all day long."

Other menu items include sea bass with naan bread, chicken wings, lamb chops and falafel wraps.

Prices range from £3 to around £7 for larger meals.

Nergiz is the second Kurdish speciality restaurant to open on Magdalen Street, with Stars Cafe and Bar also on the street.
