Find Kurdish businesses, in your language.
Rebar is a directory of Kurdish businesses. You are looking for a Kurdish barber, a restaurant, an auto repair shop or a lawyer, and Rebar shows you where they are, when they are open and what other people say about them. In Sorani, Kurmanji, German and English. For you as a visitor it costs nothing.
How it works
1. Search
You need a Kurdish barber in Cologne or an auto repair shop in Hewlêr. Type it in or pick a category. You can narrow it down by city and country.
2. Look
You see opening hours, photos, reviews from real customers and the route. All in your language, right to left as well.
3. Go there or book
One tap to call, to WhatsApp or to the route. At many businesses you book the appointment directly in the app, without calling.
Why we built Rebar
There are more than 60 million Kurds, spread across Kurdistan and the whole world. If you look for a Kurdish lawyer in Cologne or an auto repair shop in Hewlêr, you ask around and hope that someone knows someone. There was no single place where Kurdish businesses are visible together. That is what we are building, in four languages, with Kurdish identity at the core instead of as an afterthought.
