Restaurant Zagros

Zagros Restaurant is located in the heart of the pleasant district of the Pijp in Amsterdam and has since 1996. We are the only Kurdish restaurant in Amsterdam that is based purely on its own Kurdish identity.

The Zagros name and meaning

The Zagros Mountains (Kurdish: Çîyayên Zagrosê) have a length of 1500 kilometres from western Iran, from Kurdistan at the border with Iraq to the southern parts of the Persian Gulf. The range ends at the old straits of Mesopotamië.

The name Zagros is derived from the Zagarthians/Sagarthians--and Indo-European, Iranic immigrants from Europe who once inhabited the mountains, from the shores of Lake Van to the coasts of Makran. The Zangana and Chigini tribes of the Kurds are the remnants of these ancient Sagarthians. Other explanations deriving the name from Greek Zagreus, meaning stormy, or the name Za-G'R' means 'great mountain' in the Avestan language, are invalid.
