Around 80 entrepreneurs participated and served their delicious dishes to the participants. The festival was also an opportunity for artists around the region to exhibit their artworks at this festival, so the participants could enjoy watching different arts and tasting the delicious food at the festival.
“We are the executive committee team, we go together to taste the food of the restaurants and entrepreneurs, and take our notes on the food,” Diyar Abubakir, the leader of the Sulaimani branch of the Kurdistan Chefs Association, said.
Abubakir added that the association also checks the hygiene of the restaurants to ensure the quality of the food.
“We want to see more Kurdish cuisine, that’s why we also check for who has prepared more Kurdish cuisine,” he added.
