    You absolutely need to try this place!! If you ever think Asian food you’ll think Oleander leaf from now on. I have never seen a place like it in Erbil in terms of the food variety, quality and the overall feel of the place. The only place you can truly have a taste of Asian food. It was more than just the food though, it was about having the overall expectations of dining here! To start with the food, the best part about coming here was that they offer such a wide range of Asian food it will literally made me so happy!! They have everything you can think of from sushi to ramen to biryani to wok to dim sum to noodles and so much more! We had the beef ramen, dumplings, crispy sesame chicken and salmon maki and oh my god, heaven all of them, the ramen was bursting with flavour. The place has the most beautifully done design you instantly have that vibe like your in an Asian city. Every single detail is well thought from the music to the scent to the decorations and plants, even the staff’s uniform is part of the decorations. The staff is also so lovely and welcoming the service was perfect. I loved it. I’m definitely gonna have to come to try the rest of the menu! Forgot to mention they also have an outside lounge where you can smoke nargila, have you ever had Asian food and smoked nargila before? Me neither. Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 The experience: 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    This is literally the best Asian restaurant in Erbil and probably in the whole region. Everything was perfect. I went twice and the food is various and unique compared to the other Asian restaurants. They are the only ones who sell authentic ramens, in addition to noodles, woks, sushi, salads, yakitoris, etc. They even have a couple local foods for those who are not used to the asian kitchen. The service is amazing, the waiters are smiling and very helpful and the owners appreciate your feedback about their restaurant. The atmosphere is inviting and stylish. And last but not least, the prices are very affordable and even cheaper than most of the equivalent restaurants. We had an amazing evening there and will probably come back regularly.

    I’ve been 3 times and their food is so good. I wouldn’t recommend their soup-ier dishes like the ramen though because it tasted a little bland. However, their chicken dumplings are sooo good, wouldve preferred it to be a little crunchier on the bottom but still tastes amazing. The soup of the day is always perfection. The service does take a little while though. Their baked, fried, and raw sushi were all really really good. Their shrimp tempura was really crunchy and the sauce was very flavorful. The only downside would be how its a little overpriced.

    I highly recommend it for those who are interested in Asian culture It's a really enjoyable place. Indeed OLEANDER LEAF is one of the best restaurants in the city as their WiFi password is "best in Erbil" (after this post management should change the password 😆). One of the strongest points is their staff serves you in a very friendly way , another point worth mentioning is that I have also been served with a very delicious Free mashorum which is only common in traditional Iraq restaurants. Even though the area of OLANDER is not that wide,they have three different areas indoors on the ground and 1st floor and outdoors and the background music is very exciting It gives you a vibe of mediation. In short OLEANDER LEAF has a variety of Asian cuisine with affordable price.

    OH MY GOSH! It’s never enough how much I want to talk about this place their service and their outstanding food! Best asian food experience ever! I’ve had lots of asian foods before some were not my taste some were just ok and some better, but with here it completely changed my opinion about asian food and I loved it so damn much! I highly highly recommend anyone to come here and try it. The atmosphere the restaurant and everything is really great as well! The servers uniform is very pretty and that caught my eyes too. As well we got two complementaries, one was their newest dish in the menu and another was a drink, no lie best drink I have ever had so far, in a really cute coconut 🥥 cup!😍 lovely! Fantastic!! I again ordered food another time when I was in erbil and loved the way they packed everything.

    Definitely one of the best asian places in town, food quality and service is great! However, I went once for the open sushi and the quality was not as great as regular days, but kind of fair enough for 25,000IQD.

    Food: sushi tastes very good and the selection was well varied for buffet day (every friday). Cost: food is towards the more expensive and the drinks and extras are fairly overpriced. Atmosphere: decor and design are very well and modern looking and the atmosphere is modern in design and is very comfortable.

    Amazing food, great service, and affordable prices. The best restaurant in town for asian fusion dishes. Everything we ordered tasted exquisite. The Japanese sushi was the best I had in Erbil. The Chinese and Korean dishes were unique and delicious. My new favorite restaurant in Erbil.
