Best food in Plymouth!!!
Delicious Lentil soup that’s brought to you as soon as you sit down, followed by some amazing dishes, from freshly chargrilled meats such as lamb, chicken, and kofta, to delicious shawarma, biryani, homemade bread, and the most refreshing tea!
This was the first place I went to eat when I moved to Plymouth and has been my absolute favourite ever since, just the smell of the chargrill sets the tastebuds going! We regularly visit, whether just for a quick shawarma wrap and tea or a full meal, which are also very well priced; the food and service are always amazing, the staff are exceptional, friendly and attentive.
I would highly recommend Bamo if you want an authentic Kurdish experience of amazing food, tea, hospitality, and atmosphere.- Meal type

It's clear that this is a great family run restaurant where staff are proud to be a part of. The best middle eastern food I've tried in ages. Rice is not sticky, meat was tender and juicy with a great hint of real fire. The staff is absolutely lovely and polite. Prices are absolutely fabulous for outstanding quality of food. I will be coming back

Apart from that everything was great. Nice atmosphere and kind staffs. I will visit there again!
I would recommend to use market hall car park nearby, it took 3-4 min walking from there.- Service

Stepped in and this place already stands out with lovely eye-catching decor. Felt very inviting.
Sat down and was given some complimentary lentil soup which was very tasty and set the meal up well.
My order was taken promptly and I ended up ordering a lamb shawarma with chili and garlic sauce.
It came reasonably quick and looked excellent. The shawarma was packed with very flavour meat veg and sauces and was absolutely demolished.
I spotted they also had mixed baklava which I could tell as soon as I tried it that it was freshly made and packed with flavour.
Price wise it was incredibly reasonable with the shawarma only being £5.90.
Would definitely come here again and would recommend to any friends looking to try authentic shawarma in the area.- Service

Very nice restaurant, served red lentil soup at the start, I didn't have time to take off my jacket and the soup was already on my table... The lady serves and was happy to answer my questions, because we were with my son for the first time in this restaurant, shawarma was served very quickly, we didn't wait for anything. We were full and satisfied, the food was delicious.. I recommend this restaurant with all my heart, I will definitely go back there♥️- Service

Agree with other reviews. Lovely atmosphere and the staff couldn’t be more helpful. Tasty soup to start as soon as you sit down. Food was served quickly. Portions big enough to take some home for later. Amazing value for money. We go whenever we are in town.

We celebrated my husband’s birthday with an outstanding lunch experience.
The delightful, exquisite food paired with exceptional customer service from the manager and staff, along with the beautiful decor, set the perfect ambiance.
Opting for the sharing platter for 2, we enjoyed a generous amount of delectable dishes, perfectly complemented by delicious kebab
I absolutely recommend everyone to dine here and savor not only the delicious food but also the exceptional hospitality we experienced!- Parking

The food was excellent and the server was friendly and happy to explain the menu. Portions are generous and prices very reasonable. Atmosphere was quite quiet when I was there, but I didn't mind that.

Visted for the second time this week. The staff is welcoming, friendly and all smiles. The food is so generously proportioned and exquisite that I genuinely felt bad for not being able to finish my side of hummus with my main and naan bread. My new favourite restaurant in town for real healthy quality food - highly recommended!

Fantastic food, the lentil soup while you're reading the menu was wonderful, we had the mixed shish, with bread and yoghurt and cucumber. The meat has so much flavour, we will be back

Popped in with my daughter for lunch, a delightful experience. Presented with lovely little complimentary bowls of lentil soup, to jump start our palates into action whilst we decided. The food we ordered was absolutely wonderful, the most tender lamb shish I've ever had. Their humus and light fluffy naan breads are to die for. Well done, be seeing you real soon. All the best, keep it up. 😋☺️
