About Gem

GEM is a Kurdish restaurant on Upper Street that offers extraordinary value and the kind of mezze format that works brilliantly for families — kids graze on flatbreads, hummus, and grilled meats while parents eat properly. The warmth of the welcome extends to children and the BYO policy keeps costs down. One of Islington's best kept family secrets.
