The Overview

The only restaurant serving Iraqi cuisine in the neighborhood, this unassuming 20-year-old spot, patronized by visiting Iraqis and Iranians, is often unjustly overlooked. Among the best dishes are the grilled fish, the spicy leg of lamb, and the ladyfingers and eggplant served in a traditional broth. It’s also worth sampling the kabsa, a Persian Gulf staple comprised of slow-cooked or barbecued mutton, chicken or pigeon that’s blanketed in a variety of spices, nuts and onions.
