KFC Fast Food Restaurant in Erbil, the Kurdistan region of Iraq, is not a branch of the well-known American chain as “K” stands for “Kurdish” or “Krunchy”. The restaurant is part of the Abu Shahab City and it offers quality fast food in a beautiful atmosphere both indoors and outdoors. Service is fast and the staff is polite.
KFC is probably the best fast food restaurant in town as all of its dishes are prepared with fresh ingredients and are served in the most tasteful way. Customers return for its excellent deep fried chicken which is really crispy and tasty.
People also crowd at the salad bar where the variety includes a lot of local salads served with hummus or with yoghurt and cucumber dip flavored with garlic. Try the stuffed grape leaves (dolmas) and the best naan bread you can find in Erbil.
Service is really fast even when the place is really crowded and a bit too noisy on weekends. The staff is friendly and polite and most of them speak English well.
If you go on a warm day, the outdoor seating in the green garden with the sound of the water in the fountain will enhance your dining experience.
