Welcome to Ranya Grill, where every dish tells a story. We are proud to be the first and only Kurdish restaurant in the city.Our restaurant is a tribute to the village of Ranya in northern Iraq, a place of deep family roots and rich culinary traditions. The name Ranya holds a special place in our hearts—it’s not just a village, but a symbol of home for our family, most of whom still reside in Iraq. By bringing the authentic flavours of Ranya to Cambridge, we’ve found a way to bridge the distance and feel a little closer to them and share this beautiful place with the rest of the world.But Ranya is known for more than just its food. The town is famous for being the “Gate of the Uprising,” as it was the first place where the 1991 Kurdish revolution began against Saddam Hussain. This spirit of resilience, community, and hope is what we aim to share through our food.
