You have to go there if you have Iraqi roots and you want to get test of the traditional Iraqi food. I love everything there and especially the oven backed bread and the complimentary tea at the end. Feel hungry just for thinking of the place!!! :)

The waitresses were not that good in communicating in English when we asked of the dishes and for recommendations. Complementary soup and bread were served before ordering, which were tasty.

We went to the new location in Jumeirah. The food was fantastic, the place was packed, and the interior decor was very very well done. It's hard to find good Iraqi food, and finding good food in a nice place in almost unheard of.

Had never tried authentic Iraqi cuisine so all the main courses were quite new except for the Indian tikka which they had. Went for the Fridays special which was Fish Metabek( chunks of fish... More
