Although it’s further from Angel than many Islington diners are prepared to travel, this little Kurdish restaurant shouldn’t be missed. It was one of the first to station a woman in the window making qatme (Kurdish flatbread stuffed with cheese or spinach); this has since become quite a fashion in Hackney.

Our department have just came back from Gem - the food was fabulous! Also the staff were very accomodating with all our different tastes. They even cut our cake that we brought along, put it on plates - never charged extra and the bill was very reasonable.
