Somehow our day in Brighouse started with a rather lengthy visit to Huddersfield. Eight of us set off from Bradford by express bus. Express? Aye right. At least the price was right. Before the main purpose of the day got underway, there had to be bunkers, where better than Kobane Kurdish Restaurant (8 Bradford Rd, Huddersfield, Yorkshire, England HD1 6HY)?
We sat at two tables of four, so this post concentrates on the experiences of Hector, Craig, Yvonne and Mags.
The welcome at Kobane is literally a warm one, a plate of hot, and very well seasoned, tasty Soup. Hector welcomes Shorva when it is known that is what will come. With plans for Lamb Curry this evening back in Bradford, Hector was not having the wonderful Lamb Quozi (£7.50). Mix Kebab (£6.00) felt like a decent compromise, however, the young chap serving confused this commentator. He led me to believe that this was not ready, but the rest of the Kebabs were. In the end it was Chicken Tikka (£6.00) or Quozi. Yvonne and Hector would have this, Craig and Mags ordered the aforementioned Medium – Lamb Quozi. They were told that there were no Potatoes today, both asked for Beans as the accompaniment.
Mein Host had not been visible at the time of ordering, he would deal with us thereafter. Ricky, Jonathan, Jim and Alan each ordered the Lamb Qozi having been assured it was not Curry, tasty, and great value for money. Seven Scots and one Yorkshireman, the latter point must have been crucial.
Dining at Kobane, one does not just get what one orders, a Salad appears plus a Bread which is somewhere towards a Naan. The Bread is softer, lighter and fluffier than Naan, different again from the Middle Eastern near-Pitta I recently had in Athens.
Chicken Tikka
Two skewers, three was an option. Two would be filling enough. Thankfully, the Chicken lay on a bed of sizzling Onions and was topped with cooked Tomatoes, this added the necessary moisture to use the Bread. I would have preferred something else on the platter to provide an alternative. A lot of Chicken, more than I needed. 
Sharing a Quozi is much more satisfying. Yvonne was impressed:
That was very, very tasty.
Lamb Quozi
Two large pieces of slow-cooked Lamb sat on a bed of sizzling Tomato and Onion. Add to this the share of the Salad, the huge portion of Rice and the accompanying Beans in Sauce. This is a feast, and don’t forget the Bread!

Sadly half of the Rice and Bread would be left, generosity, but a waste.
Comments were simple:
Craig – Delicious!
Mags – Very filling, amazing as ever.
Mein Host visited the tables often, ensuring we had all we required.
The level of enjoyment of the four chaps sitting behind me was only limited by the fact that their lunch was not photographed by Hector.
The Bill
Our table of four assembled cash which more than covered the cost of what we had consumed. Mein Host did some mental arithmetic at the till, he was happy.
The Aftermath
Ale in Huddersfield then Brighouse. Hector knew that a return to International (Bradford) was required. Could they impress as much as they did last night?
