Just try to imagine this; you and your dear friends are having a lovely dinner in a garden somewhere in Hawler.  It’s spring, Kurdistan is green and you’re not only taking in the scent of delicious food that comes from the table in front of you but you can also smell the beautiful flowers surrounding you. You try to forget about your diet because you cannot leave this food untouched. You try everything that’s in front of you and you think that your day is perfect.

Then the next day, reality hits you, you don’t feel well and you think you got food poisoned.

You forget about all the lovely scents, the view and even the lovely times you had with others because the only thing you can think about is how sick you feel. Could it have been the chicken or the salad, the pizza or the hamburger? You feel so angry and so you boycott that restaurant for the rest of your life, no, maybe for a couple of weeks but you want them to know what happened to you right?

Don’t worry, not all places here are like that. Some of the restaurants do think about hygiene and don’t you even try thinking that this only happens in Kurdistan because on this Dutch TV Program “De Smaak Politie”, I’ve seen some gross and awful kitchens that you don’t even want to know about.

What’s my whole point? Well, I started a restaurant review website. It’s actually the first one here in Hawler and I intend to go to these places to let them know about your experience. You can like the restaurants and rate them.

I started this because I want you to experience everything I mentioned in the first paragraph minus the food poisoning part.
